'''Intelligent Systems''' ({{ja|株式会社インテリジェントシステムズ|Kabushikigaisha Interijento Shisutemuzu}}, ''Intelligent Systems Ltd.'') is a Japanese game developer. They played a part in the development of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Similar to [[HAL Laboratory]], they are a second-party developer for [[Nintendo]] and primarily create games for Nintendo's consoles. | |||
' | Originally founded as an auxiliary programming team to support many of Nintendo's in-house games, Intelligent Systems would go on to develop a number of their own games and series that would come to be represented in ''Smash'' over their long history. They are the primary developers of such series as {{uv|Fire Emblem}}, ''[[Mario (universe)#Paper Mario series|Paper Mario]]'', ''[[Wario (universe)|WarioWare]]'', {{uv|Nintendo Wars}}, {{uv|Panel de Pon}}, {{uvm|Pushmo}}, {{uv|Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru}} (''The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls''), {{uvm|Cubivore}}, and {{uvm|Soccer}}. Intelligent Systems also developed ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart: Super Circuit}}'' in the ''Mario Kart'' series, and co-developed ''{{b|Metroid|game}}'' and ''[[Super Metroid]]''. Outside of Nintendo products, they have also developed titles in the {{uv|Dragon Quest}} series, including the ''Dragon Quest 25th Anniversary Collection'' and ''{{s|wikipedia|Dragon Quest Wars}}'' but both were exclusive to Nintendo consoles. | ||
[[Category: | Aside from developing games, they continue to serve their original role in supporting Nintendo with certain projects, such as programming many of Nintendo's in-house development tools for both hardware and software and building the 3D camera into the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. | ||
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''== | |||
In its worldwide debut as a franchise, {{uv|Fire Emblem}} receives major representation with two playable characters: {{SSBM|Marth}}, the protagonist of the first game in the series, and {{SSBM|Roy}}, a clone of Marth and the protagonist of the then-upcoming sixth game in the series. ''Melee'' is often cited as a major reason as to why ''Fire Emblem'' games from the seventh game onwards were brought overseas. ''Melee'' additionally received a medley of the tracks "Story 5: Meeting" and the main ''Fire Emblem'' theme, both from ''Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'', simply dubbed {{MeleeMusic|Fire Emblem}}. A [[AKANEIA|stage]] was also planned for the game, but did not make it in. | |||
Outside of the ''Fire Emblem'' series, ''Cubivore'' saw representation in a trophy for a character named [[Alpha]], though no such character exists within ''Cubivore'' itself. Several ''Panel de Pon'' references appears in this game such as the Garbage Block in {{SSBM|Kirby}}'s [[Stone]] move and [[Lip's Stick]] as an item both based off [[Lip]], the protagonist of the first ''Panel de Pon'' game. The shop manager of the series' card shop, Maruo Maruhige from ''Card Hero'' appears as a trophy. Paper Mario from the eponymous game appears as a trophy. | |||
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''== | |||
As a result of its increased popularity as a franchise, ''Fire Emblem'' gained a large boost in representation in ''Brawl''. {{SSBB|Marth}} made a return as a playable character, this time joined by {{SSBB|Ike}}, the protagonist of ''Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn''. A stage based around several aspects of the series, dubbed "[[Castle Siege]]", also appeared in ''Brawl'', with numerous musical tracks from the ''Fire Emblem'' series.

''Fire Emblem'' gains more representation yet again, as {{SSB4|Marth}} and {{SSB4|Ike}} are now joined by {{SSB4|Robin}}, the avatar character from ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Awakening}}'', {{SSB4|Lucina}}, a clone of Marth and a major character in ''Awakening'', and {{SSB4|Corrin}}, the avatar character and protagonist of ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Fates}}''. {{SSB4|Roy}} also makes a return to the series as DLC. Lyn reprises her role as an Assist Trophy. A stage based on [[Arena Ferox]], an iconic location in ''Awakening'', appears in the 3DS version, while a stage based on various [[coliseum]]s from the franchise appears in the Wii U version. A [[Mii Fighter (SSB4)|Mii costume]] of the [[Black Knight]], Ike's rival, was also made as DLC. | |||
