[edit] Super Smash Bros.

In the GameCube video game Super Smash Bros. Melee, Pichu was a secret character. It was one of the many different "clones" of preexisting characters, with this particular characters' moves being based off of Pikachu's. A major downside of the character was the fact that a multitude of his attacks, including his special and smash attacks, not only would deliver damage to the opponent to also Pichu itself. Though minimal, it was a major distraction that didn't attract many players. He was, along with a few others, removed from the Wii sequel Super Smash Bros. Brawl, though he was featured as one of the game's trophies.
