Ness was a bit of surprise addition to the roster for the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''.  Many players had never expected such an obscure character to turn up in the game, which seems to be reflected in-game as he is a secret character, unlocked by completing the 1P Game on a difficulty of Normal or higher, with three lives or less and using no continues.  Strangely, only one of Ness' special moves, the [[PSI Magnet]] (B + Down), is one of his own; his other attacks, [[PK Fire]] and [[PK Thunder]], B and B + Up, respectively, were originally used by ally Paula in ''[[EarthBound]]''.  A possible explanation for this discrepancy is offered in the sequel to this game, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.
