The Mysterious Murasame Castle universe (謎の村雨城, The Mysterious Murasame Castle) refers to the characters, stages and property that come from the Famicom game of the same name.

Franchise description

The game was one of the early games released for the Family Computer Disk System, and the second original title after The Legend of Zelda. Originally, the game was a Japan-only release for the Famicom. The release of KoeiTecmo's Samurai Warriors 3 for the Wii allowed players to experience The Mysterious Murasame Castle for the first time outside of japan, as Samurai Warriors 3 featured a 3D Remake of the game as a separate mode. However, over 28 years after its release, the original game was re-released worldwide through Virtual Console on the Nintendo 3DS.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

Although Melee lacked elements related to The Mysterious Murasame Castle, Sakurai stated that Takamaru was considered as a playable character during development, but stated that Takamaru’s chances of appearing as playable character in Melee were low.[1]

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The universe is represented by a music track and a single sticker.
