Duck Hunt

Line 144:

*The dog is the fourth playable canid character after [[Fox McCloud]], [[Wolf O'Donnell]] and [[Lucario]]. He is also the second quadrupedal character after [[Ivysaur]]. In comparison, the duck is the third playable avian character after [[Falco Lombardi]] and [[King Dedede]] and before [[Kazooie]].

*Duck Hunt are the first tag team to consist solely of animals on-screen.

**Off-screen, there is a third member of the team (a human player) who uses the ~~[https://en.~~wikipedia~~.org/wiki/NES_Zapper/~~ NES Zapper], the original controller used for the Light Gun series of games. This player shoots the screen with a colored target reticle and participates in Duck Hunt's [[smash attack]]s, [[Trick Shot]], and [[Clay Shooting]].

This player shoots the screen with a colored target reticle and participates in Duck Hunt's [[smash attack]]s, [[Trick Shot]], and [[Clay Shooting]].

***This off-screen player makes Duck Hunt one of the only characters, along with [[R.O.B.]], to have a direct connection to the real world.

*During {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s reveal trailer, Duck Hunt were used as a bait-and-switch to introduce them a la {{SSBU|King Dedede}} during {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s reveal trailer. This was likely done because of Duck Hunt also being a team consisting of a bird perched on a mammal's back, as well as in reference to a running gag among the ''Super Smash Bros.'' community in which Duck Hunt were perceived by fans as substitutes for the long-requested Banjo & Kazooie. Additionally, Duck Hunt has an {{SSBU|alternate costume}} that bears a passing resemblance to Banjo & Kazooie, which is referenced in the latter's {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} route, where Duck Hunt (using this costume) appears as the first opponent.
