Fractured "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" Characters Quiz

Answer: Bowser

Mario's longtime antagonist, Bowser also appeared in "Super Smash Bros. Melee" for the Nintendo Gamecube. In "Super Smash Bros. Brawl", Bowser's Final Smash move allows him to turn into Giga Bowser, a giant version of himself. His signature tuft of red hair did not make its first appearance until "Super Mario Bros. 3" for the Nintendo Entertainment System was released.

Answer: Sheik

Sheik is Princess Zelda's alter ego, first appearing in "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" for the Nintendo 64. Through a special move, Sheik can transform into Princess Zelda in "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" and is recognized as one of the quicker characters in the game.

Answer: Wario

Wario was created by the famed Gunpei Yokoi, also known for his work on "Kid Icarus". The Nintendo Game Boy was also Yokoi's brainchild. Tragically, Yokoi died in a 1997 car accident. "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" marks Wario's first appearance in the series as a playable character.

Answer: Zero Suit Samus

Zero Suit Samus, from the "Metroid" series, is bounty hunter Samus Aran without her recognizable Power Suit. Although this allows for quicker movement, she is more vulnerable than usual and carries a gun in lieu of her normal arm cannon. The Game Boy Advance game, "Metroid: Zero Mission", was the first game to feature Samus in her Zero Suit.

Answer: Captain Falcon

Captain Falcon was originally a character from "F-Zero" for the Super Nintendo. He has appeared in all of the "Super Smash Bros." games to date and is known for being both a pilot and a bounty hunter.

Answer: Ganondorf

If there has ever been confusion over a video game character name, Ganondorf's fits the bill. In the original "The Legend of Zelda" for the Nintendo Entertainment System, he was referred to as Gannon. "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" for the Super Nintendo was the first game to refer to him as "Ganondorf." His appearance in the "Super Smash Bros." series varies greatly from the way he appears in games prior to "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time".

Answer: Lucas

Lucas, from the Japanese Nintendo game "Mother 3", makes his first series appearance in "Super Smash Bros. Brawl". Like Ness from the Super Nintendo game "EarthBound", Lucas possesses PSI powers, and some of his special moves are similar to the ones Ness uses.

Answer: Ice Climbers

Nana and Popo, collectively known as the Ice Climbers, first appeared in the game "Ice Climber", released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985. Their final smash, Iceberg, consists of a large iceberg that appears on-screen and freezes opponents. It's an effective move if you're playing on a smaller stage and your opponents have less space to evade you.

Answer: Kirby

Kirby makes his third "Smash" appearance in "Super Smash Bros. Brawl", while a villain from the "Kirby" franchise, King Dedede, appears as a playable character for the first time in the series. It's interesting to note that Kirby was originally named Popopo before his creator, Masahiro Sakurai, renamed him. Additionally, if you look at the box art for the Game Boy game "Kirby's Dream Land", you'll find that Kirby is white and not his traditional pink color!

Answer: Olimar

Captain Olimar is the main character from the "Pikmin" series, designed by longtime Nintendo luminary Shigeru Miyamoto. Olimar makes an appearance in "Super Smash Bros. Melee" in the form of a trophy, but is fully playable in "Brawl". One of Olimar's special moves in "Brawl" is called Pikmin Pluck and comes in highly useful in Event 14 in Event Mode!
