Jigglypuff is a veteran playable character from the Pokémon franchise. Unlike its availability status in the Super Smash Bros. series and the original Super Smash Flash, where Jigglypuff has been mostly an unlockable character; its availability status in Super Smash Flash 2 is that of a starter character. According to developers, this change was made to appeal Jigglypuff's very early appearance in the game and because it is among their favorite characters from the game's roster. Its sprites are custom made and based on its appearance in the official Super Smash Bros. games.
