'''Duck Hunt''' refers to the playable dog and duck duo fighters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. They are the two titular non-playable characters from the [[NES]] video game they are named after, ''[[wikipedia:Duck Hunt|Duck Hunt]]''. Both characters act as one singular playable fighter, with the duck riding on the dog's back. The original game's premise was to use the NES Zapper gun to shoot down ducks, and the dog would retrieve them and hold them up to award the [[player]] points. If the player missed his shot, the dog would laugh. Besides premiering as playable characters in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'', Duck Hunt has also made other crossover guest appearances with the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series in other instances, mainly in the ''[[WarioWare]]'' series.

==History==
===''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''===
Though not appearing in the game itself, ''Super Mario Bros.'' was re-released multiple times, bundled with other games within the same cartridge. Two releases included a copy of Duck Hunt; ''2-in-1 Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt'' and ''3-in-1 Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet''. 
===''[[WarioWare]]'' series===
====''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]''====
A [[microgame]] called [[Duck Hunt (WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!)|Duck Hunt]] appears, and has overall the same gameplay as the original ''NES'' game, this time having the player uses the [[Nintendo Gamecube]] controller to shoot ducks.

====''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''====
The same [[Duck Hunt (WarioWare: Twisted!)|Duck Hunt]] microgame from ''Mega Microgame$!'' makes its return, this time on the [[Gameboy Advance]], for the release of ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''.

====''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]''====
The [[Duck Hunt (WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase)|Duck Hunt]] microgame returns for the [[WiiWare]] release of ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', and utilizes the [[Nintendo Wii]]'s [[Wii Remote]] controls. 

===''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]''===
====''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''====
Artwork of a duck from Duck Hunt appears as a [[Sticker]] in ''Brawl'', and gives 20 points towards Launch Resistance. It can be worn by the [[Ice Climbers]], [[Pit]], [[Mr. Game & Watch]] or [[R.O.B.]].

===''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''===
The dog and duck appear as unlockable playable characters in the fourth and latest installment of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. The dog and duck fight together as singular fighters, unlike the [[Ice Climbers]] where Nana was computer-controlled. Their moves include throwing a can (from the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] game, ''[[Wikipedia:Hogan's Alley (video game)|Hogan's Alley]]'') and the duck flying while holding the dog. Their [[Final Smash]] is a shootout of characters from some NES games that have used the Zapper Gun, ''[[Wikipedia:Wild Gunman|Wild Gunman]]'', ''Hogan's Alley'' and ''Duck Hunt''.

|''These friendly fowl are the targets in the game Duck Hunt, which utilizes the Nintendo Zapper Light Gun. They appear and randomly fly about trying to escape after your faithful (if slightly clamorous) hunting dog flushes them out. Once you drop the ducks, your dog dutifully fetches them by the napes of their necks and grins at you.''

==Trivia==
*The [[Duck Hunt (WarioWare: Touched!)|Duck Hunt]] microgame in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' bears the ''Duck Hunt'' title, but instead of featuring the iconic dog and ducks, it uses clay pigeons.
