The '''Light Gun Series''' is a small series of shooting games developed by [[Nintendo Research & Development 1]] for the [[Family Computer]] in 1984. They were controlled using the pistol-shaped {{iw|nwiki|Famicom Light Gun}}, one of the first peripherals every released for a home console. Its American equivalency is the {{iw|nwiki|NES Zapper}}, a vaguely science-fiction-styled gun released for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. The most recognizable and seminal of Famicom Light Gun Series games, ''Duck Hunt'', was a launch title for the NES and was partially attributed to the consoles early success in the United States. It was often bundled with ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', sometimes on the same cartridge.


===Non-playable characters===
While Nintendo did not develop many games that utilized the Famicom Light Gun, the three initial titles - ''Wild Gunman'', the aforementioned ''Duck Hunt'', and ''Hogan's Alley'' - have been regularly alluded to in Nintendo's more recent products. Within the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, this has chiefly been within the [[microgame]]s hosted by gaming enthusiast [[9-Volt]] in the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series.

The Light Gun Series is a small series of shooting games developed by Nintendo Research & Development 1 for the Family Computer in 1984. They were controlled using the pistol-shaped Famicom Light Gun, one of the first peripherals every released for a home console. Its American equivalency is the NES Zapper, a vaguely science-fiction-styled gun released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The most recognizable and seminal of Famicom Light Gun Series games, Duck Hunt, was a launch title for the NES and was partially attributed to the consoles early success in the United States. It was often bundled with Super Mario Bros., sometimes on the same cartridge.

While Nintendo did not develop many games that utilized the Famicom Light Gun, the three initial titles - Wild Gunman, the aforementioned Duck Hunt, and Hogan's Alley - have been regularly alluded to in Nintendo's more recent products. Within the Super Mario franchise, this has chiefly been within the microgames hosted by gaming enthusiast 9-Volt in the WarioWare series.

Overview

  • Built around using the Famicom Light Gun by Nintendo R&D; the US equivalency is the NES Zapper
  • Derived from similar arcade games from decades prior, some of which were developed by Nintendo themselves
  • Duck Hunt in particular is a seminal title

In Super Mario Maker, Duck Hunt make an appearance as a Mystery Mushroom costume, which plays sound effects from Duck Hunt for certain actions. Upon transforming into Duck Hunt, the perfect score tune plays, and whenever they jump, the dog barks. If they fall into a pit or lava, the dog's laughter can be heard. The costume can be unlocked by scanning the Duck Hunt amiibo, or unlocked randomly after completing the 100 Mario Challenge on the Normal setting or higher.
