In Super Smash Bros. 4
Sablé Prince appears as an assist trophy and can transform into his frog or snake forms and trap opponents in dust clouds.
Origin
The dust clouds are a reference to the combat system in Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru, which is a turn-based combat system that pits the player and their enemy in a battle within a dust cloud, exchanging hits until one is defeated. The ability to turn into a frog is gained through a potion given to the player by the witch Mandola, which allows the player to transform into a frog by touching cold water. Transforming back into a human requires the use of another potion bought from Mandola later in the game, which lets the player transform into a human by almost dying (which can be achieved by eating Joy Fruit) or into a snake by eating snake eggs.
Trivia
- Sakurai's mention in his Pic of the Day post on Miiverse that he doesn't know the Sablé Prince's name is a reference to the fact that the player chooses the name for the prince. The character has no official name.
