Unused Characters

A Intended Character is a character that was planned to be in the game but taken out due to time constrains. Usually the intended characters get put in later installments of the game but sometimes they don't. Characters may or may not return. But one things for sure. They could've changed Smash Bros. all together.

Super Smash Bros 64
Super Smash Bros. 64 was the first game in the series. So it would make sense why some were taken out. Here they are:
 * Bowser                             Bowser_64.png
 * Mewtwo
 * Princess Peach                                  ImagesD6SVYD0Q.jpg
 * Meowth                                          Images8RIQUAL4.jpg
 * Pit                                             ImagesH0ASWWZC.jpg

While not much is known about these characters appearance in the game. Some of them would have made interesting characters. While, Meowth was never considered again. He did make it as a Poke Ball in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Super Smash Bros. Melee
While Bowser and Mewtwo were added in this game. Some weren't. Here are the considered characters of Super Smash Bros. Melee:

While there weren't many characters there. All of them got into Super Smash Bros. Brawl meaning that there is all-new intended characters in:
 * King Dedede King Dedede and Meta Knight were planned to be in SSBM. But Sakurai didn't want to express his characters too much so they were cut. King_Deded.png
 * Lucas Lucas was originally planned to replace Ness. But they were too far into development to add him.
 * Wario Not much is known about his appearance. But he was considered.
 * Meta Knight Meta Knight along with King Dedede were planned to be in the game. But Sakurai didn't want to express his characters too much and they were both cut. Meta_Knigt.png
 * Wolf Wolf was intended to be in the game along with Falco. Falco was added, but Wolf only made a cameo in the intro. Wolf_O'_Donell.png

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
These characters are known as the "Forbidden 7" which of course, there is 7 of them. Here they are.

While the "Forbidden 7" is now the "Forbidden 5" thanks to Dr. Mario being playable and Mewtwo being DLC. None others made it into
 * Dr. Mario Dr. Mario was pretty close to getting in. Though, due to time constrains was taken out. Even so, he could've been a alternate costume. Dr.Mario.png
 * Mewtwo Mewtwo was the only non-clone to not come back to SSBB. It is said that Lucario replaced Mewtwo. But it hasn't been confirmed yet. Mewthree.png
 * Roy The last of the intended Melee characters. Roy wasn't really supposed to be in SSBM outside Japan in the first place. It is though that Ike replace Roy. But, again, it hasn't been confirmed.Fire_Eblem_Roy.png
 * Toon Zelda With the exception of Toon Link being in. Toon Zelda was also supposed to be in but cut. It is unknown why, maybe because they didn't want as much clones. But, it is still uncertain why.Toon_Zelda.png
 * Toon Sheik Toon Sheik would've probably of been the transformation of Toon Zelda. Which the exception that Toon Zelda was cut. It makes sense why Toon Sheik was cut.Toon_Sheik.png
 * Plusie and Minun Plusie and Minun were probably intended because they were a 3rd gen pokemon character. A gen that hasn't been in SSB yet. They would've probably worked like the Ice Climbers but were cut before anyone knew.Plusie_and_Minun.png
 * Dixie Kong Dixie Kong was a intended character in SSBB While she was cut. She was a kind of costume for Diddy Kong.Dixie_Kong.png

Super Smash Bros for 3ds/Wii U
Super smash bros for 3ds/Wii U or Super smash bros 4 was the first game in the series to have two consoles you can play on for the game. While that, some characters were cut. So this is who was:
 * Ice Climbers the Ice Climbers were the only intended character/s in SSB4 why? Well, Sakurai stated that he had trouble putting the Ice Climbers in because the 3ds harddrive couldn't handle 8 players on the stage at once. So Sakurai had to cut them from the game. They will most likely be in the next game, but it is uncertain what Sakurai plans to do.Ice_Climbers.png
