=Banjo-IIIe=  Banjo-IIIe is the friendship between Banjo and the Hero (Erdrick).

Canon
Banjo and the Dragon Quest Heroes were announced in the same direct.

Fanon
The ship started in participation for the next character, with leaks claiming that either Banjo & Kazooie or a Dragon Quest hero are incredibly likely. Cue the pure joy of the fanbase when they didn't have to choose between one or the other, getting both announced on the same day.

Initially, people portrayed Banjo and Erdrick as competing for the spot on the roster. After their joined reveal, people liked portraying them as mocking the ones that didn't make it in, including Sora and Steve, which became somewhat hilarious in hindsight. Some people have reframed the context of these images as Banjo and Erdrick getting the last two energy drinks in the fridge. The ship appears to be exclusively between Banjo and Erdrick, who is deemed the most significant of the Heroes for his heavy resemblance to Goku. Though at least one piece of fan art of Banjo and Kazooie befriending the Luminary also exists. Some have it both ways and depict Banjo hugging both Erdrick and the Luminary.

There's a consensus that Banjo & Kazooie had a double invite (with two sigils), while the Heroes had a quadruple invite (with four sigils).

=BayoSamus=  BayoSamus is the femslash ship between Bayonetta and Samus Aran.

Canon
On Bayonetta's page on smashbros.com, there is an image of Bayonetta using her Wicked Weaves on Samus.

Bayonetta and Zero Suit Samus are fairly similar: They're both acrobatic and fight in heels.

Fanon
On AO3, BayoSamus is the 6th most popular ship for Samus overall and the 5th most popular for Super Smash Bros. specifically. It's the 3rd most popular ship for Bayonetta overall and the 2nd for Smash.

Dark Crown
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Dark Crown is the femslash ship between Dark Samus and Zelda.

Canon
In Zelda's Classic Mode, "Wisdom Prevails", Dark Samus is Zelda's fifth opponent, the mode consists almost entirely of Zelda fighting villains.

In Dark Samus' Classic Mode, "The Great Poison Given Form", a Zelda with a monochrome color palette is Dark Samus' first ally, fighting Link. This represents the times when Zelda got possessed by the villain in her home series, with the implication that Dark Samus is mind-controlling her.

Fanon
This pairing was popularized by the blog "incorrectsmashbrosquotes" on Tumblr, where Zelda and Dark Samus start dating after a number of episodic skits featuring them. The blog often ships it in contrast to Dharkleem.

Double Mobius

Canon
Joker and Master Hand (along with the Announcer and Crazy Hand) are both voiced by Xander Mobius.

Much like a good chunk of the roster, at the end of Joker's Classic Mode "Shadows", he winds up fighting Master Hand.

Fanon
Once fans found out that the first DLC character shares a voice actor with the most recurring boss in the series, the jokes started writing themselves. Since many headcanon the Announcer to be the same character as Master Hand (or at least connected), many had Joker imitate the announcer, much to the annoyance of other characters, especially Master Hand.

Fandom
FAN FICTION

Duck Hunt Duo
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Duck Hunt Duo is the friendship between Duck Hunt Dog and Duck Hunt Duck.

Canon
Within their own game, the Dog and the Duck are enemies, with the Dog helping the player hunt them down. Should the player hit a duck, the Dog will pick it up and proudly present it to them. Should the player miss or fail to shoot a duck in time, the Dog will laugh at them.

Their reveal trailer shows regular gameplay of Duck Hunt, only for the game to suddenly stop and the Dog to look around, with Mario entering the frame along with other NES characters. When Mario urges the Dog to join them, he jumps into a third dimension, becoming his modern self along with everyone else. The Dog does the same, only for a duck to sit down on its back. In Super Smash Bros., the former enemies of Dog and Duck fight as a unit. And they're not alone; the hunter assists them from outside the game, shooting at their opponents.

Their trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS also point out that they used to be enemies, but fight as a team now, yet never elaborate why.

Fanon
A general headcanon why the Dog and Duck are suddenly friends now is because the Dog found the Duck while hunting, when it was just a helpless duckling. Having sympathy for a small, defenseless infant, the Dog hid it from its owner. By the time of Super Smash Bros., it seems that the owner is already aware of their friendship, so some like to think that the Dog did indeed walk up to its owner with a duckling in its mouth, the owner horrified and guilty, chose to adopt it.

Incinebelle
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Incinebelle is the non-binary ship between Incineroar and Isabelle.

Canon
Isabelle and Incineroar are (not counting Echo Fighters) the last two characters who were announced for Ultimate pre-DLC. Both are anthropomorphic animals, Isabelle is a Shi Tzu, Incineroar is a Pokémon based on a tiger.

Fanon
People like to pair Isabelle with Incineroar because of the huge contrast between them. Isabelle is an innocent-looking, friendly, little dog, Incineroar is a fiery, intimidating and muscular Pokémon. Smash fans like to think that Isabelle has a dark side and is fully capable of dishing out violence while Incineroar is actually a huge softie beneath the Kayfabe act it puts on. Some joke that Incineroar is wary of Isabelle, due to its nature of being a "cat". Many others love the idea of them being unlikely best friends, with Isabelle cheering it on during fights, both as an audience member and as a fellow fighter.

Additionally, even though they're roughly the same height in-game, most fan artists depict Isabelle as being the size of Incineroar's arm, allowing her to ride on its shoulder. One artist flat out drew them as Marc Anthony (Incineroar) and Pussyfoot (Isabelle) from Feed the Kitty!.

Jokeling
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Jokeling is the non-binary ship between Ren Amamiya and an Inkling.

Canon
The default Inkling girl happens to look very much like Joker's confidant and surrogate sister, Futaba Sakura. Both have orange "hair" and the Inkling's eye mask looks a lot like Futaba's glasses at first glance.

The Futaba Spirit battle has it come full circle by having the Inkling Girl cast as Futaba.

Fanon
The entire point of the ship is that Joker either mistakes the Inkling for Futaba or sees a close resemblance to her. Thus he projects his relationship with Futaba (whether romantic or platonic) onto her, much to the latter's annoyance. Though many depict them as genuinely getting along in spite of that. It helps that neither has a clearly established age, meaning that they could be in the same age range.

Super Smash Bros. fans did not invent the "Futaba is an Inkling" comparisons. That very comparison was made the very moment Futaba's character design was first revealed.

The Joker/Inkling Boy variant also exists, said Inkling is compared to Yusuke Kitagawa. However, it's not as popular, as the comparison is deemed to be a major stretch.

Kirbypuff
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Kirbypuff is the non-binary ship between Kirby and Jigglypuff.

Canon
Despite not being from the same series and never meeting canonically, both Kirby and Jigglypuff have been in every Super Smash Bros game, and they have some interactions during them

Super Smash Bros.
On the first installment of the Smash Bros series, there wasn't a story mode, therefore the only interactions they can possibly have are fighting against eachother &/or being on the same team while fighting other character, however, jigglypuff seem to mimic kirby on her following moves:

Jab, Side Tilt, Up Tilt, Down Tilt, Dash Attack, Neutral Aerial, Forward Aerial, Back Aerial, Down Aerial, Forward Smash, Down Smash, Grab & Back Throw

Super Smash Bros. Meele
Super Smash Bros. Meele still didn't have a history mode, so the only interactions they had were still battling against eachother or together against someone, the only difference about it is that jigglypuff always fights kirby on Meele's Adventure mode, and Jigglypuff still mimics Kirby, this time on the following attacks:

Jab, Side Tilt, Up Tilt, Down Tilt, Forward Smash, Down Smash, Back Aerial, Down Aerial, Grab & Back Throw

Less this time cause the developers didn't want Jigglypuff to be called a clone or semiclone

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. Brawl was the first game on the series to have an actual Story Mode, but Kirby and Jigglypuff do not interact on it, for the reason that Jigglypuff was added late in the development of the game, so the only way to unlock her was throught a door, however kirby is the most likely character that you will be using when you fight her, for the reason that getting to the door involves tricky jumps, and kirby's multiple jumps is the most viable option among the usable characters on the level Jigglypuff is on, but there is no confirmed interaction they two have in Brawl, and everything that i said before still happens in Brawl with the exception of Back Aerial that was changed in Kirby's case

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U better known as Smash 4 or even Sm4sh didn't have an history mode, or even an adventure one, so the only interactions they have are fighting eachother or fighting together against someone, and the mimic moves are the same as brawl's, but it was the first game who introduced reveal trailers, so they had some "interactions" on it

On Rosalina & Luma's reveal trailer, kirby trips, which resembles Jigglypuff's Dash Attack on the game On Charizard & Greninja's reveal trailer, they don't interact directly, but a bunch of Pokemon characters appear at the start, and since some characters who aren't in smash appear there, its safe to say that Jigglypuff, a Pokémon character who is on smash are in there somewhere, and kirby appear to fight charizard, therefore Kirby & Jigglypuff were in the same area

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has a story mode called World of Light, there is the part of the series where they have the biggest interaction, cause Kirby was the only survivor of Galleem's light beans, therefore he saved the entire smash cast directly or indirectly, including Jigglypuff, and the attack mimic is still as prominent

Fanon
Kirbypuff has a number of similarities to FalSam in that both have origins in the N64 game due to their similar appearances (pink puffballs in Kirby and Jigglypuff's case) and that it prominently features in Brawl in the Family, going all the way back to comic "009 – Jigglypuff" in which Kirby gives Jigglypuff a flower instead of fighting them.

Suddenly, a white arm taps Mario on the shoulder and all three of them turn around to see the (female) Wii Fit Trainer herself judging them. She then does the "warrior" pose and sends all three of them flying, signifying that the Wii Fit Trainers are joining Smash.

Lucas and Incineroar
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Lucas and Incineroar is the friendship between Lucas and Incineroar.

When Masahiro Sakurai demonstrates Incineroar's Alolan Whip move, poor Lucas is on the receiving end.

In Palutena's Guidance, Palutena notes that beneath all of Incineroar's cockiness and general arrogance, it's supposedly "good with children".

Fanon
After seeing Incineroar's moveset demonstration, it became popular to joke how Lucas is scared of the thing, expressing it in offering free hugs for anyone (except Incineroar). However, people also like to imagine their relationship as similar to the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes" (which the ship name references), which is about a blonde boy going on misadventures with a living stuffed tiger. Directly comparing Incineroar to Hobbes, who also liked to mess with Calvin by roughing him around, many believe that they could actually become close friends.

Canon
Zero Suit Samus and the Wii Fit Trainer have very similar designs: Cyan clothing and a fairly athletic physique. Much like Samus, the Female Trainer keeps her hair in a ponytail.

Both characters are some of the more acrobatic in the roster, like doing somersaults when jumping. Both also shoot yellow-glowing projectiles.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS
In the Event Match, "Peach in Peril", Zero Suit Samus and the Female Trainer are two of the opponents for Bowser and Bowser Jr's pursuit of Peach. Context indicates that they, along with other female characters, are actually protecting Peach from the Koopas despite the title, though KOing Peach results in a failure.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
In the "Everyone is Here!" trailer, Zero Suit Samus and Wii Fit Trainer are introduced at the same time. Samus kicks the air, while the Trainer dodges the kick by doing a yoga pose, resulting in Samus' leg and the Trainer's arm being inches away from each other.

In the game proper, the Wii Fit Trainer is second on Samus' unlock tree.

In World of Light, the Wii Fit Trainer was recruited in the first fight against Galeem, along with Samus. Though unlike Samus, who tried to shoot Galeem's light before getting disintegrated by it, the Trainer was too busy doing yoga poses and got disintegrated shortly after.

Fanon
The ship is exclusively between Samus and the female Trainer, due to their similar designs. It is the most popular ship for the Wii Fit Trainer, though only the tenth most popular ship for Samus.

One comic shows the female Wii Fit Trainer being astounded by Zero Suit Samus's flexibility to such an extent, she says, "Teach me, master."

Canon
Both are the first third-party characters to appear as playable fighters in the Super Smash Bros. series. In Snake's Codec Conversation for Sonic, Snake will admit that something about Sonic rubs him the wrong way, but when Otacon asks him why, Snake responds with, "Nope, just don't like him." The reason behind this is left to speculation, with theories ranging from Sonic stealing Snake's thunder to voice actor allusions.

Sorario
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Sorario is the friendship between Sora and Mario from the Super Smash Bros. fandom.

Canon
Tetsuya Nomura has gone on record saying that the creation of the Kingdom Hearts series has inspiration from Mario, specifically the Super Mario 64 game. Sora and Mario have met in Super Smash Bros. as they are both playable characters. First meeting each other in the fifth game in the franchise (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate), where they act as playable characters. Unfortunately, neither has canonically met each other in their respective series due to being set in different universes with each's franchises having different developers each, making a specific crossover unlikely. In Sora's reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario picks up Sora's Kingdom Key and throws it. The Keyblade shoots out a beam that summons Sora, who eagerly meets up with Mario, along with the rest of the Smash Bros. cast. After the gameplay footage, the last shot shows Mario and Sora shaking hands, a reference to them being the first and final characters in the game.

Fanon
A 2007 April Fool's joke by Electronic Gaming Monthly advertised a fake game called Mushroom Kingdom Hearts that would have the two teaming up in the Mushroom Kingdom. While this was obviously intended as a joke, Sora's inclusion in Super Smash Brothers caused it to be somewhat realized. The pairing become popular immediately, especially since the two of them shaking hands solidified them as friends for many. Sora and Mario also have many similarities as both are wholesome mascot heroes. Mario specifically is often considered to be the "Mickey Mouse of video games" in terms of their iconic status and historical significance for their respective mediums, and now Sora is a mutual connection between both of them.

Stevejo
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Stevejo is the friendship between Steve and Banjo.

Canon
Steve and Banjo were both added as DLC. They are both owned by Microsoft.

Fanon
The idea that Steve and Banjo are friends started as a counter against people fighting over which one they wanted more, which was rendered moot with both being added as DLC. Though initially, Banjo and Steve were portrayed as refusing to speak to each other, with time more and more people liked the idea that they are actually very close friends.

Before they were added, people who wanted Steve in Smash were bullying fans other characters by portraying Steve as a hideous "human" with exaggerated, still mostly blocky features, who was often portrayed harassing popular fan picks with Banjo being a prime target. Fans of the ship treat that "Steve" (often called "Grotesque Steve") as a separate entity and some kind of demon or impostor. Steve often joins Banjo and other characters in beating the "Grotesque" one up. Banjo is often portrayed as being afraid of that thing, if he was initially wary of Steve, it explains why.

Ike and Villager don't interact much.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS
On Ike's page on smashbros.com, there's a screenshot of him standing next to the pink-haired Villager. He regards her while she is distracted poking at something on the ground with a stick.

Fanon
People like shipping Ike with the default female Villager, the one with the pink hair; mostly because of the massive contrast between them, as people wanted to ship the big, muscular Ike with a cute girl, the "Pink" Villager is considered the perfect candidate. It helps that she is often agreed to be the most innocent of the Villagers, being often the only one not hit with the "Killager" meme.
