History
Itadaki Street DS
Dragonlord is one of the playable characters in Itadaki Street DS. Items called Dragonlord Hat, Dragonlord's Robe and Dragonlord Staff are collectible items that can be equipped on customizable characters.
Fortune Street
Dragonlord returns as an unlockable character in Fortune Street. The player can unlock him by placing first or second on the Alefgard board in Tour Mode, and Dragonlord is the third character to be unlocked overall. Dragonlord looks mostly the same as in Itadaki Street DS, except the area around his robe is lighter in color, the jewel on his necklace has spikes, his hat resembles bat ears rather than horns, and most notably, he now has a visible nose. Many of his quotes are in "Early Modern English", a form of the language that was used by William Shakespeare.

Notes
- While Dragonlord does not appear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the final round of Hero's Classic Mode route is a reference to him, involving Hero fighting a blue Robin (referencing Dragonlord's humanoid form) followed by a giant purple Charizard (referencing Dragonlord's draconic form). Further, the battle takes place in Dracula's Castle, which bears a passing resemblance to Dragonlord's Castle.
