Which of the SSB Playable Characters (From All Games) Are More Popular In SSB than in Their Own Franchises?

[Lonely_Dolphin]

Almost all of them really. Pikmin, F-Zero, Kirby, Starfox, Earthbound, Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus, Metroid, etc. Only Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, and Sonic are relatively well known outside of Smash Bros.
