Awesome idea! Really, really hard though. I can’t believe I missed Piranha Plant!

It’d be no fun if it was easy ;)

I just thought of something. Why not include characters that were Mii costumes in Smash 4?

Maybe, but they weren’t really actually there, you know? Like, these characters physically appeared in Smash Bros before making their playable debut, but those are just costumes of the characters. That could be a separate quiz idea, though.

Good point. I suppose a quiz on that specifically could work, though.

Ridley was in the background of Samus's stage in Smash 64 and in the opening movie of Melee. Also, why is a distinction made between how Chrom was introduced and how Palutena was introduced? The cutscene Palutena was in was Pit's final smash, right?

Probably not worth mentioning the King K. Rool, Daisy, and Wario trophies in Melee. There were probably others too.

Palutena also appears in a cutscene during the Subspace Emissary. That’s most likely what they meant

I don’t know how this comment slipped by me for so long, but yes that’s exactly what I meant when I wrote that. I found that the cutscene gave Palutena more of a presence than her appearance in Pit’s final smash. The way I figured the chain goes is as follows:

1. Boss

2. Assist Trophy/Pokéball

3. Stage Hazard

4. Cutscene

5. Enemy

6. Part of another character’s move set (Final Smashes, other attacks, taunts and other animations)

7. Stage Cameos

8. Any other cameos nobody cares about

I’m probably forgetting something and I’ll probably change my mind in the future, if the need ever comes up, but this more or less represents how I feel about everything both now and when I made the quiz. Probably a bit too much thought for a silly little Smash Bros. quiz, but oh well. It’s fun :)

Oh, and to just clear up any confusion, the quiz isn’t asking for a character’s FIRST appearance in Smash Bros., but rather their most prominent appearance (prior to becoming a character). Ridley made a cameo in the back of the Metroid stage in Smash 64 and the Melee opening, but in Brawl he became a full-fledged boss fight and really made his presence known.

I also wasn’t listing trophy, stickers and spirit characters because basically every character from a franchise that was in a previous Smash game has a trophy. Daisy, Bowser Jr., King K. Rool, Meta Knight, Wario, Olimar, the Duck Hunt Duck, Inkling, Min-Min, Pyra and Mythra would also be on this quiz. That’s not my argument against including them I just thought it was an interesting fact btw.
