Pikachu is a playable character in the Brawl mod Project M.
Attributes
Changes from Melee to PM
Pikachu was buffed from Melee to Project M overall, due to the new options that give it additional leverage against top-tiered characters.
- Last hit of forward aerial retains its Brawl power, and the hits now also link better.
- Back aerial is now its Smash 64 kick, which has combo potential and KO/edgeguarding strengths that its previous back aerial did not.
- Down smash's hits now link better each into other.
- Grab range from Melee increased.
- Skull Bash can now grab ledges, like in Brawl.
- During a Quick Attack, enemies cannot hit Pikachu's tail.
- Retains wall jump from Brawl, allowing for a slightly better situational recovery on stages such as Yoshi's Story. Also retains crawl.
- Retains QAC from Brawl, greatly improving Pikachu's approach and defensive options, especially with the new physics. QAC also allows some new options, such as wavelanding out of a QAC.
In terms of cosmetics, Pikachu has received an additional costume where it wears its blue party hat costume from Melee and 64. He also got a pirate hat, which was put into the same slot as the Dr. Mario skin was for Mario and the Mr. L skin for Luigi.

- Up-B startup slightly reduced and can grab edges
- Up-B delay between dashes is a little longer
- Up-B goes maximum distance upward when stick input is below the amount needed to change direction
- Up-B air mobility and air friction adjusted during the move and when in Special Fall
- Up-B preserves momentum at the end of the dashes and when going into the ending

- Quick Attack's animation stretches less and his tail is now intangible during travel
