Jigglypuff (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)


 * This article is about Jigglypuff's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For other uses, see Jigglypuff.

Jigglypuff, known in Japan as Purin (, Purin), is a character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. To unlock Jigglypuff, you can play 350 Brawls, and then defeat Jigglypuff. To unlock Jigglypuff through 1-Player modes, you can find Jigglypuff in the Swamp stage after completing the Subspace Emissary. It can be found through the first door after defeating the Shadowbug clone of Diddy Kong. Alternately, after completing the Subspace Emissary, you can complete events 1-20 and play any event match. Jigglypuff will appear; defeat it to unlock it. It currently ranks 34th on the tier list, due to its many downgrades from Melee such as lower priority, lower aerial acceleration and slower moves in general, as well as poor matchups.

Attributes
Jigglypuff is an interesting character that is very easy to KO, because it is the lightest character in Brawl. However, it is a small target (with an extremely low crouch position) with good jumping ability, having 5 jumps and being very floaty, in addition to the Rising Pound technique. Jigglypuff's strength is its aerial game; the Wall of Pain technique was originally invented for Jigglypuff, and its aerials are strong. If Rest connects, it is a powerful killing move even at moderate percentages. Most of its moves have low knockback, allowing great combo ability, including all of her tilt attacks. Rollout makes a great approach attack, and its high air speed and low dashing speed make short hops the preferred method of approach. Unfortunately, Jigglypuff lacks projectiles and a way to protect against them, and its up special doesn't help its recovery. Its moves also have short range, and it has the slowest running speed and falling speed in the game. Additionally, if there is not a ceiling, if Jigglypuff's shield breaks, it dies.

Changes from Melee to Brawl

 * Rest has less knockback and damage, and adds a flower on the opponent's head instead of having a fiery effect.
 * Down Throw now only does damage when the opponent is thrown, not during the rolling part of the attack.
 * Blue and green costumes have changed. Blue is now a sunhat, green is now a nightcap. Jigglypuff also has a new costume which is a white hat with a bit of pink, based on the female trainer's hat from FireRed and LeafGreen.
 * Aerials (With exception of F-air and D-air, which are stronger) are weaker.
 * Much heavier, although it may appear lighter since it is no longer tied in weight with Mr. Game & Watch (has a weight rating of 65 in Melee and ~84 in Brawl)
 * Yellow soundwaves appear around Jigglypuff when Sing is used instead of colorful soundwaves. Jigglypuff also doesn't open its eyes in the last part of the song, instead only opening them when the song is over.
 * No longer becomes helpless when Rollout is used in the air.
 * Almost all of Jigglypuff's movements now make a cute squeaky, rubbery puffy sound, including midair jumps and attacks.
 * Due to Zelda's running speed increased, it is no longer tied with Zelda for the slowest dash speed and now is the slowest.
 * Rollout has two stages of being "fully charged": 'fully charged' and 'super charged' (See Rollout).
 * Floatier, which makes midair jumps give more distance.
 * Slower midair acceleration

Role in Subspace Emissary
Jigglypuff does not play a major role in Subspace Emissary, being an optional character, much like Toon Link and Wolf. If you enter the new door in Swamp which appears after you've finished Subspace Emissary, it will take you to Pokémon Stadium 2, where Jigglypuff is performing a song. You will then fight Jigglypuff.

Trivia

 * One of Jigglypuff's alternate costumes is the hat of the female Pokémon Trainer from the GBA remake.
 * Another one of Jigglypuff's alternate costumes is very similar to hat of Kirby's Sleep Ability from his game series.
 * Jigglypuff, alongside Lucario, were leaked as playable characters in an official preview video before the game's release and before being revealed on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! website. But it should be noted Jigglypuff was accidentally leaked before in an interview with Solid Snake's voice actor, David Hayter.
 * Jigglypuff can become the largest character in the game. Jigglypuff must use its Final Smash in the Bridge of Eldin while it is being rebuilt, and then pick up a Super Mushroom, or be turned into an egg by Yoshi.
 * Jigglypuff is the only veteran character to not have a role in the main story of Subspace Emissary, being unlockable only after its completion. This is possibly due to the fact that it would be able to skip entire level sections with its Shield Jump technique.
 * When in Group Records, It shows the first eleven original characters. Jigglypuff is fourth to last on the chart when the scores are even. The same thing happens in the Sound Test although Jigglypuff is fifth to last.
 * Along with Pokémon Trainer, Diddy Kong, and Ice Climbers, Jigglypuff is one of the only characters to have a unique "Defeated/No Contest" pose different from the traditional hand clapping, by tilting its head/body side to side.
 * Even when Jigglypuff is using Rollout, Sonic can still outrun it with a Bunny Hood.
 * Jigglypuff is the only character with one death cry. Every other character has two (except Olimar, who has none).
 * Jigglypuff can circle most of Hyrule Temple by using Rising Pound to supplement its jumps, but must go through the tunnel instead of around the bottom spikes.
 * If Jigglypuff's shield breaks, Jigglypuff will fly up and get Star KOed unless a solid ceiling stops it, or you're in an upward scrolling stage in SSE/Aventure Mode in Melee (See Shield Jump)
