'''Simon Belmont''' is a protagonist vampire hunter from Konami's ''{{wp|Castlevania}}'' video game series, debuting in the very first entry to the series, 
''{{wp|Castlevania (1986 video game)|Castlevania}}''. He crosses over with characters from the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] in episodes of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'' and again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. His descendant, [[Richter Belmont]], also appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as an Echo Fighter of Simon.

[[File:SimonBelmontCaptainN.jpg|thumb|left|Simon Belmont as he appears in ''Captain N: The Game Master''.]]
Simon Belmont is a recurring character in the television series ''Captain N: The Game Master''. In the series, he resides in [[Videoland]] (specifically the location Castlevania), and is a member of the N Team. In the pilot episode, "Kevin in Videoland", Simon helps the other heroes rescue Princess Lana, and they then battle [[Mother Brain]] and her allies throughout the show. A recurring gag in the series involved him frequently checking himself on a handheld mirror, and admiring himself. {{wp|Andrew Kavadas}} portrayed him in the series.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Simon (SSBU)}}
Simon makes his ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as a third-party character, alongside fellow Konami characters [[Solid Snake]] and Richter Belmont, Sega's [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Bayonetta]], Capcom's [[Mega Man]] and [[Ryu]], Bandai Namco's [[Pac-Man]], and Square Enix's [[Cloud Strife]]. His various attacks involve him using his "Vampire Killer" whip. Simon's special attacks are Axe, an axe that is a powerful projectile; Holy Water, a magical, multi-hitting projectile dealing flame damage; Cross, a projectile with boomerang-esque properties; and Uppercut, a powerful uppercut that functions as Simon's recovery move. His Final Smash, Grand Cross, involves trapping players in a coffin and destroying it. Simon's whip is long-ranged, being effective to use from far distances. Simon's forward, back, and up aerials also function as tether recoveries, making them useful for recovering when close to an edge.

In his debut trailer, he arrives at [[Dracula's Castle]] and eliminates Death shortly after the latter killed [[Luigi]]. He later confronts [[Dracula]] himself but is nearly defeated, only to be saved by his descendant Richter.<ref> Nintendo (August 8, 2018).

In the Adventure mode, Simon is seen standing near a cliff when he and the other fighters oppose [[Galeem]] for the first time. Simon, like every fighter except [[Kirby]], is hit by one of Galeem's beams of light and imprisoned in the World of Light, where a Galeem-serving puppet fighter of him is created. Simon is later freed after his puppet fighter is defeated, and he subsequently joins Kirby's team against Galeem and later [[Dharkon]].
