Template:Articleabout Template:SSB Infobox Duck Hunt is the name that 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, Duck Hunt. The original game's premise was to use the NES Zapper gun accessory 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.

In the fourth installment of Super Smash Bros., they both act as one singular playable fighter, with the duck riding on the dog's back throughout the entirety of matches. 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 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 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 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 microgame returns for the WiiWare release of WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, and utilizes the Nintendo Wii's Wii Remote controls.

Super Smash Bros.

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.

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.
