=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.

=Clink=  Clink is the slash ship between Cloud Strife and Link from the Super Smash Bros. fandom.

Canon
In the reveal trailer for Cloud in Super Smash Bros., Link and Cloud are shown clashing swords in the midgar stage. In later photos in the DLC, they can be shown having a friendly sword Fights with their signature swords, the Buster Sword and the Master Sword.

Fanon
Although not as popular as other slash ships, there are a few people who do ship these two together. A few works about Link and Cloud have them falling in love with each other due to how much they have in common. Even though no one in the Smash community thinks that they like each other, they do get along well enough to be considered friends or allies.

Due to their sword clashing scene, some have Link and Cloud as rivals who fight one another and with Link not being happy that Cloud has a bigger sword than he does, until the two realize that them they combined their skills together they make an excellent sword fighting team. Since most fanfics and fanart of Cloud and Link do have them fighting beside each other as friends. Along with there being a few pieces of fanart on Tumblr that has Cloud and Link together while they are wearing their female disguises, since it is one of the few similar traits that has fans bring Link and Cloud together.

On AO3, the ship has only 16 fanfics, while FanFiction.Net has 15 fanfics in its Super Smash Brothers category. Which is a much bigger number of fanfics that ClouZel has on those websites, making the slash ship a bit more popular than the het ship. Clink also has a some fanbase on both Tumblr and DeviantART. Because Cloud and Link can meet one another in canon through Super Smash Bros., most fan-made work of Clink focuses on the crossover game series. While there have been a few pieces of fan work on the two that has their games and worlds crossed with one another. Along with some of the Link x Cloud fan-work having Cloud in his original Kingdom Hearts attire.

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.

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.

FalconSnake
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Falconake is the slash ship between Captain Falcon and Solid Snake.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
In Event Match 36, "High-Tech Special Forces", Snake is one of Captain Falcon's opponents, along with Samus and Wolf.

In Snake's Codec for Captain Falcon, Snake recognizes him with Otacon complimenting his good eye, giving additional information that he's F-Zero pilot number 07. Seeing Captain Falcon reminds Snake of that "thing" he and Otacon always wanted to try, which Otacon agrees to. They then engage in imitations of Captain Falcon's moves.

The Subspace Emissary
Captain Falcon and Snake don't get to interact much in this mode. The only times were they could interact is them both being on board of the Halberd and then joining everyone else to try and fight Tabuu, only to fail and be turned into trophies and needing to be rescued.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Captain Falcon represents Zero in his Spirit Battle. Snake joins him, representing Naked Snake.

Fanon
FalconSnake is a rarepair in the fandom, but it has a fairly vocal following. Most fans saw the appeal in the ship because of the waning popularity of both FalSam and Snakus, with many arguing that they shouldn't fight over a girl. The canonical fanboyism Snake and Otacon have towards Captain Falcon helps fuel the ship somewhat.

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.

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.

In Snake's Codec conversation for Luigi, Snake stands up for him when AI Colonel calls him the "King of Second Bananas", says he has pale skin from the darkness of his brother's shadow, and mocks him for being a kid brother.

Fanon
Fans were quick to appreciate Snake showing an apparent soft spot for Luigi, and pairing the two became popular, especially since most of Snake's codec calls have him show hostility toward other characters such as Fox, Bowser, and even Princess Peach. Luigi is often shown thanking Snake for defending him from AI Colonel. In the Ultimate era, the ship sometimes overlaps with Luimon, with both Snake and fellow Konami character Simon Belmont taking a mutual stance to protect Luigi from bullies and danger.

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.

Fanon
The ship is an amalgam of two popular ideas: 1. Palutena and Bayonetta survived Galeem's attack and accompany Kirby on his quest, becoming mother figures to him and falling in love with each other, 2. Bayonetta is Joker's mom.

Kid Icarus fans threw Pit and Dark Pit into the mix as Palutena's sons, since she takes a fairly motherly role to both in their home game.

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."

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.

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.

SteVilla
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> SteVilla is the family ship between Steve and Villager.

Canon
Steve and Villager are both mechanically unique characters, with Villager being able to pocket any projectile and Steve being able to draw resources to upgrade weapons from any type of ground and being able to place blocks to stand on. Additionally, both wield axes, with Steve also being able to chop down trees in his own game.

Much like Villager, Steve's alt costumes have different skin tones, they also have a functionally identical "female" counterpart, though unlike female Villager, Alex is a separate character.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is often compared to Minecraft: It adds tool durability, the ability to change the environment with shovels and most importantly, Crafting. Though Animal Crossing crafting is far simpler.

In Steve's Classic Mode "Journey to the Far Lands", Round 2 has a Villager attacked by a group of Warios, with R.O.B. assisting Steve in saving them. This represents the "Pillage" events in Minecraft, where NPCs also called "Villagers" are attacked by Pillagers, which are represented by Wario, with the player character having the option to save them to earn their gratitude (R.O.B. represents an Iron Golem).

Fanon
Within the Super Smash Bros. fanbase, both characters have a reputation of being somewhat "creepy". They have static, unmoving faces and use rather dangerous tools.

One comic shows them staring at each other without saying anything for an hour, which seriously creeps out normally fearless villains Bowser and Ridley, with the former being flat out concerned for the safety of his son. An epilogue shows Villager drawing out an axe and Steve a diamond sword, all without moving another muscle. However, many commented that they look like father and son, prompting the artist to draw speech bubbles of Villager asking how his mother is, with Steve saying that she's proud of him. This has spawned theories that Steve and Alex are Villager's previously unseen parents. Some have also joked that Villager is named after a Villager from Minecraft.

One artist has pointed out the similarities between the two axe-wielders, by having Steve chop down Villager's tree, with the latter looking sad about it.

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

Canon
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.
