'''Duck Hunt''' (known as '''Duck Hunt Duo''' in the PAL localization<ref>[http://i.imgur.com/09i7vLp.jpg]</ref>, and individually referred to as '''Dog''' and '''Duck''') is the name that refers to both the playable dog and duck fighters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. They are two major non-playable characters from the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] video game they are named after, ''[[wikipedia:Duck Hunt|Duck Hunt]]''. Besides premiering as playable characters in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'', the duo 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 [[Game Boy Advance]] controller to shoot ducks.
 
====''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''====
A [[Duck Hunt (WarioWare: Twisted!)|Duck Hunt]] microgame similar to the one from ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'' appears in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', this time using the [[Game Boy Advance]] cartridge's tilt sensor to aim.
 
====''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]''====
The [[Duck Hunt (WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase)|Duck Hunt]] microgame returns in the [[WiiWare]] game ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', and utilizes the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]]'s motion controls.
 
===''[[Tetris DS]]''===
Gameplay of ''Duck Hunt'' can be seen on the [[Nintendo DS]]'s top screen in stage 19 of Standard Marathon mode in ''[[Tetris DS]]'', where the dog and duck make a cameo. The dog also appears as a sprite on the touch screen during this stage.
 
===''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''===
Duck Hunt appears as unlockable playable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. Unlike other duo fighters, the dog and duck fight together as a singular fighter. 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''.
 
The duo receives their own Duck Hunt themed stage simply called [[Duck Hunt (stage)|Duck Hunt]]. In the stage, the sprite versions of the dog and the ducks appear.
 
In terms of customizations, Duck Hunt is the only fighter who can use the Collar and Feather equipment. The duo can also use the Zapper equipment, which references their game origins.

Once you drop the ducks, your dog dutifully fetches them by the napes of their necks and grins at you.''

|''You could call these two the stars of the NES 1985 launch title Duck Hunt. The goofy dog would chase down any ducks hit by the Zapper. In Smash Bros., these two work as a team to fight. When a can or a clay pigeon is in play, hit the button again to fire at it. Show your foes how the ducks felt!''

Their side smash can hit up to three times at close range, depending on your shooting skills. By charging up the attack, you can increase the range even further!''

There, a posse of gunmen will use foes for target practice! If the ducks don't hit anyone, though, nothing happens besides some birds passing through.''

So much for man's best friend... In the Duck Hunt stage in this game, he'll occasionally pop up in his 8-bit glory and let you use him as a platform!''

Taking down ducks get you points in the Duck Hunt stage in this game too. It has no effect on the battle, but the alternative Duck Hunt action might be a refreshing change from constantly punching your friends in the face.''

===Palutena's Guidance===
*'''[[Pit]]''': I don't want to fight that cute dog!
*'''[[Palutena]]''': Oh, you won't. You'll be fighting the dog AND the duck.
*'''Pit''': So...if I win...
*'''Pit''': is duck on the menu for dinner?!
*'''Palutena''': Let's take things one step at a time, Pit. <span class="explain" title="These two might be called the Duck Hunt Duo, but in some ways, it's kind of like they're a trio! (PAL)">These two may seem like a duo, but they're actually a trio! Together, they're known as "Duck Hunt."</span>
*'''Pit''': <span class="explain" title="What? You mean it's three-on-one?! (PAL)">So where's the third team member?</span>
*'''Palutena''': Listen, just be careful. You could get shot out of nowhere.
*'''Pit''': A mysterious sharpshooter, eh? Well, that does make things more exciting!
