History

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

When Barbara is summoned in a battle via an Assist Trophy, she strums her guitar for a few seconds, releasing sound waves that moderately damages opponents and knocks them back. Her last sound wave is larger and stronger than the other ones.

In addition, a collectible trophy of Barbara can be obtained when it appears at random in the game's single-player modes.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Barbara returns in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as a collectible trophy.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Barbara appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as an Ace-class Grab-type primary spirit. It has three support slots and, when used on a fighter, only boosts their power without granting additional effects. The spirit is summonable with a Rouge the Bat, Prince Saruno, and a grab-type core. A Barbara wig is unlockable in the game for 900G, and can be worn by Mii Fighters.

Super Mario Maker

Barbara later appears in Super Mario Maker as an add-on Mystery Mushroom costume for Costume Mario. It can be unlocked by clearing the "Barbara in Tomatoland" Event Course, which was released on February 25, 2016.

Other appearances

Barbara and Ashley in a comic strip

Barbara appears in a web comic strip on Nintendo's Japanese kids website called Barbara & Ashley[1]. In the strip, Barbara hires Ashley to sing at her live club, but she struggles due to her shyness. Barbara watches Ashley and smugly thinks Ashley can make her rich, but soon after this, the witch falls asleep on stage, to Barbara's dismay.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS trophy

Name Image Description
Barbara File:SSB3DS Barbara Trophy.png As the manager of a slightly dubious talent agency, Barbara's always looking for people who want to join a band. She'll even teach you to play—whether you ask her or not. It's best to let her think she's taking advantage of you, even if she really isn't. Her hidden theme music really illustrates the contrast of darkness and light in her soul...or something.
