Template:SSB Infobox Duck Hunt (known as Duck Hunt Duo in the PAL localization[1]) is the name that refers to both the playable dog and duck 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 light 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, the duo has also made other crossover guest appearances with the Mario series in other instances, mainly in the WarioWare 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. |
