Zero Suit Samus

Trivia

  • The only characters that don't have an On-Screen Appearance are Young Link and Pichu before they appeared in Ultimate because Melee did not feature On-Screen Appearances.
  • If Little Mac has the pink/green sweatshirt as his color, he will play the same animation, but won't take off the suit.
  • Link, Zero Suit Samus, and Sheik are the only characters to change on-screen appearances between games.
    • Link is the only character to not change on-screen appearances between Brawl and 3DS/Wii U.
    • Technically, Sheik's animation remained the same in 3DS/Wii U, but changes its effect to smoke instead of magic.
  • When the Blue Falcon is facing right, Captain Falcon, simply jumps out of it, but if it is facing left, he does a front flip as he hops out.
