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.

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.

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.

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

Duck Hunt costume

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.

Duck Hunt
Duck Hunt in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

Duck Hunt appear as unlockable newcomers in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Although they fight as a duo,[2] Duck Hunt do not truly adhere to the tag team archetype first used by the Ice Climbers and perpetuated by Rosalina & Luma. This is due to the duck's own hurtbox being directly next to the dog's hurtbox at almost all times. Duck Hunt's moveset largely consists of moves based around the NES Zapper and games that use it, particularly Hogan's Alley and Wild Gunman, while incorporating physical attacks from both the dog and duck.

Duck Hunt's standard special move is Trick Shot, in which the dog kicks a tin can from Hogan's Alley forward that can be subsequently fired at with the Zapper. Their side special move is Clay Shooting, in which the dog throws out a clay pigeon from Duck Hunt's Game C that will then explode upon being fired at by the Zapper. Their up special is Duck Jump, in which the duck flies upward while carrying the dog. Their down special is Wild Gunman, which spawns one of the five titular gunmen to attack. Lastly, their Final Smash is NES Zapper Posse, which consists of a flock of ducks from Duck Hunt ramming the opponent into a field before the gunmen from Wild Gunmen fire at them and the cutouts from Hogan's Alley.

In regard to character customization, Duck Hunt are the only fighters who can use the Collar and Feather equipment to boost their defense and speed, respectively. The duo can also use the Zapper equipment to boost their attack strength, which is another reference to their home game. A Duck Hunt-themed stage simply called Duck Hunt also appears in both games. In the stage, the sprite versions of the dog and the ducks appear, even if Duck Hunt themselves are fighting on the stage. In addition, Duck Hunt are the only playable characters in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U to break the fourth wall in their trailer.

SmashWiki article: Duck Hunt (SSBU)

Duck Hunt return as unlockable veterans in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In the transition to Ultimate, they received noticeable improvements to their moveset and the dog can run faster, although they are now noticeably lighter.

Along with several other characters, Duck Hunt retain their victory theme from the previous game, albeit sped up.
