♡♪!?, better known by his other name Geno, is a major supporting character in Super Mario RPG (in both the 1996 original and 2023 remake) as a member of Mario’s party.
A Mii Fighter Costume modeled after his hat and body is available as DLC for both Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[]
Though not available as a fighter, a costume based on Geno was released as DLC for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Although the hat can be worn by any Mii Fighters, the costume is exclusive to Mii Gunners, with the Geno Beam arm cannon mounted on the right hand. The DLC was released during December 2015, alongside the Chocobo hat, Cloud Strife, and the Midgar stage. This is fitting as the character of Cloud is owned by Square Enix, who also developed Super Mario RPG, and owns the rights to Geno.
Nintendo also released a QR code for those who wish to have the exact Mii used in the costume's advertising.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]

Geno appears as a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He is also a selectable icon for use in the online modes. In his spirit battle, he is represented by Sheik armed with a Super Scope, and is joined by Mario, Peach, Bowser, and a gray Kirby, who represents Mallow. These five fighters represent the main cast of Super Mario RPG. His Mii Gunner costume from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U returns as DLC, and was released in December 2020, alongside a series of Final Fantasy-themed costumes, in parallel with Challenger Pack 8 which introduced Sephiroth.
Trivia[]
- Masahiro Sakurai has stated that Geno was considered for an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but was not followed up on for unexplained reasons.[1]

During Brawl, I thought it would be great if I could add him, but in the end it didn’t become a reality." - Nintendo Dream Volume 264, translated by Source Gaming
