The only characters I myself know the names of are Ness (13) and Pokemon Trainer (11, if he's actually Red).

Marth as king is 19 , Ike is 17 in his brawl appearance (probably 20 if he appears again), and Roy is 15

Smasboards suck
PIt and other supernatural beings are probably extremely old/ancient. I always imagined Mario and Luigi in their 30s and Peach early twenties. Mega Man his personality/age based on a child (like Astro Boy).

Some characters do have a confirmed age.

Captain Falcon: 37.
Ness: 13, nearly 14 at the end of EarthBound.
Lucas: Vaguely 12-13.
Sonic: 15 in Brawl, 16 after Generations.
Toon Link: Around 13.
Ike: 17.
Fox, Falco: In their 20's. (I'm not 100% sure.)

As for new characters, Wii Fit Trainer is probably in her late 20's or so. Rosalina's implied to be centuries old. Villager's hard to figure out; he looks like a child but can live on his own and be mayor.

Sonic ages with his actual series anniversary. Generations came out for his twentieth.

Link: 16: (64 & Melee) 17: (Brawl)
Young Link: 9
Pit: Though an ancient angel, has the body of a 14 year old adolescent.
Luigi: 30 (Lol, Year of Luigi is the 30th anniversary), so Mario might just be the same age.

Sonic is 16 in newer games. EDIT: Did some reading, it's very debatable.

Toon Link has no confirmed age.

No one in Star Fox has an age.

When Wind Waker came out Miyamoto and Aonuma specifically said the game started on Link's 12th birthday.

And I believe Star Fox Assault's manual states Fox and Falco's ages.

When it comes to Assist Trophy characters, some of them do have confirmed age too.

Little Mac: 17
Lyn: 15
Starfy: 7
Tingle: 35 (he is still single, btw)
Samurai Goroh: 37

Some other have inferred age.

Kat & Ana: < 6 (Kindergartend-age)
Nintendogs: some few months (They are puppies after all)
Metroid: very little time of life? (it is in it's infant form)

Samus is probably in her late 20's or early 30's. She looks like she's about the same age as the Wii Fit Trainer.

I'm not even going to try to crack the Kirby characters. There's no telling how old they are. :glare:

Anime said Kirby was a baby, make of that what you will.

If I recall correctly Sonic was 19 and Tails was 12 in Sonic Colours, and then he had a birthday in Generations so that would make him 20 I guess. Unless his canonical age is officially updated I'm just going to assume that he's still 20.

Mega Man is designed to resemble a 10-year-old boy.

Toon Link's trophy in Brawl says that he's 12.

Mario and Luigi are twins, for what it's worth.

Toon Link's not from Wind Waker? Then I guess him taunting with the actual Wind Waker means nothing.

He uses the Wind Waker in his taunt. I'm pretty sure it's the Wind Waker one.

EDIT: Damnit
But he's also replaced on the Spirit Tracks stage. He's just a big mix of all the Links from the games that used the art style.

Falcon's profile in GX states he's 37.

Sorry it's blurry, only one I could find.

that's likely just to avoid confusion due to them bearing lots of similarities. He uses the wind waker, the hero's bow, the hylian shield and the master sword so i'm pretty sure it's WW tlink

Coming from Toon Link's trophy...

Link as he appeared in The Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, with big eyes and an expressive face. He lived peacefully on Outset Island until a bird captured his little sister, and he came to her rescue. In The Wind Waker, he had to crawl, press up to walls, and the like. His green clothes were worn on his 12th birthday and are the lucky outfit of the hero of legend.

Samus does not look like a chick in her 30s.

Also, anyone going to dare to guess "Yoshi's" age? Can we be sure it's even the same one that carried around Mario?

Holy crap, I just realized how dark that is. He shows up in Mario Party and Kart and all that jazz, but we have no clue which one he really is. Maybe every time the Yoshi dies they just find another green one to replace him. Somewhere in the MK there's just a little grave yard for dead Yoshi.
Yeesh.

Also, Red should not be 11 anymore if we're basing this off the chronological order of the Pokemon games (they actually have one!). By X and Y, dude should be in his late teens I think.

You should update the original post with the known ages for ones we already talked about, or the range that we know of for some.

I think it's the same Yoshi.

If Cranky Kong somehow makes Smash 4 he's going to single handedly raise the average age of the Smash roster by at least 10 years.

Ganondorf is in his hundreds. Mario, Luigi, Peach, DK, and Wario are all around the same age.

iirc, Falco and Wolf are 25 and Fox is 24.

I honestly can't see peach being Mario's age, even if that was proven by Yoshi's Island DS

Funny how I had never noticed this before (they all were babies in Yoshi's Island DS). Btw, isn't Bowser around the same age as the others characters? (he was a baby at that time too).
