I made a huge spreadsheet with a bunch of data and statistics about elements of all the official Smash Bros. games. This originally started as a spreadsheet for looking at gender distribution across fighters and games, but I ended up expanding it to include a whole bunch of other elements and brush up on spreadsheet skills. I thought I'd share it to see if anyone else finds it useful. I think this is the right place to post this.
Here's a summary of the data on this spreadsheet:
This spreadsheet especially has problems in terms of gender classification in several areas. However, the Smash Bros. games themselves are very inconsistent about gender. One example is that the Yellow Devil trophy uses "it" pronouns in NTSC, but male pronouns in PAL. So, is the Yellow Devil male, or what??? Ugh.
Here's a summary of the data on this spreadsheet:
- Fighters, assist trophies, enemies, and bosses by
- Name
- Universe
- Gender
- Game inclusion
- Items, stages, and trophies by
- Name
- Universe
- Game inclusion
- Tour events by
- Character name
- Universe
- Gender
- Music by
- Track name
- Universe
- Source material
- Remix or original
- Game inclusion
- Stickers by
- Name
- Universe
- Game
- Effect
- Strength
- Applicable fighters
- Headgear and Outfits by
- Name
- Universe
- Applicable Mii Fighters
- Availability
- Mewtwo is the only truly genderless fighter.
- Excluding DLC, SSB4 is the only game to not have at least one male, female, and gender-neutral newcomer from every previous Smash game; it has no gender-neutral Melee newcomers, due to the exclusion of Ice Climbers.
- SSB4 has twice as many female fighters as Melee. With Mewtwo included, SSB4 also has twice as many fighters as Melee.
- Brawl has the largest increase of male fighters in its roster (10); this is more male fighters than are in Smash 64, which has the highest male fighter ratio. Brawl is also the only game to have a higher ratio of male fighters than its predecessor.
- Excluding DLC, SSB4 is the first game to not have a larger increase in male fighters than female fighters from the previous game (both increase by 3).
- SSB4 has as many gender-neutral newcomers as all the previous games combined.
- No explicitly female fighters have ever been excluded from a future game.
- The Bumper is the only item to be re-added.
- Brawl and SSB4 both introduce 24 new items.
- There are always more male assist trophies than female and gender-neutral ones combined.
- The Polar Bear is the only enemy to be re-added.
- There are no explicitly female enemies, bosses, or Smash Tour event characters.
- The only universes without any songs in any games are Subspace and, amazingly enough, Electroplankton (being based on the musical video game).
- Dr. Wily is the only trophy in both versions of SSB4 to have a completely different model in each.
- The Cream & Cheese trophy comes before the Chao trophy on the 3DS, but after it on the Wii U.
- The trophy depicting some generic pipes from the Super Mario Bros. games is named "Pipe" on 3DS, but "Pipes" on Wii U.
- Both versions of SSB4 have a trophy named "James McCloud", but they are completely different trophies.
- The only two universes that have never had any trophies are Nintendo DS and Electroplankton.
- The fighter that can use the most stickers is Yoshi, able to use 437 of them.
- The single non-Smash video game with the most musical representation in the history of Super Smash Bros. is Kid Icarus: Uprising, with both the most songs across all Smash games (11), and the most songs within a single Smash game (9 in SSB4 Wii U). In SSB4 3DS, it is tied with Kirby's Dream Land for the most songs (both have 6).
- The Kid Icarus universe is tied with the Super Mario Bros. universe for the most enemies in SSB4 3DS (both have 19). The universe with the third-most is Kirby (8).
- The Kid Icarus universe has the third-most enemies out of all the enemies in the history of all Smash Bros. games (19), beaten only by Subspace (38) and Super Mario Bros. (20).
- The Kid Icarus universe has the second-most trophies exclusive to SSB4 3DS (43), beaten only by Super Mario Bros. (49).
- The Kirby universe has the third-most trophies exclusive to SSB4 Wii U (28), beaten only by Pokémon (33) and Super Mario Bros. (49).
- The Kid Icarus and Kirby universes have the fourth and fifth most items in SSB4 (6 and 5 respectively), beaten only by The Legend of Zelda (8), Super Smash Bros. (17), and Super Mario Bros. (19).
- In SSB4, the Kid Icarus and Kirby universes have more fighters than 18 other universes with fighters, and less fighters than only 4 other universes. They tie with the Super Smash Bros. universe (each having 3).
This spreadsheet especially has problems in terms of gender classification in several areas. However, the Smash Bros. games themselves are very inconsistent about gender. One example is that the Yellow Devil trophy uses "it" pronouns in NTSC, but male pronouns in PAL. So, is the Yellow Devil male, or what??? Ugh.
