Wolf appears as a secret playable character in "Super Smash Bros. Brawl". According to "Super Smash Bros." series creator Masahiro Sakurai, Wolf's inclusion was highly requested by fans because of his popularity. Although Krystal, another highly requested "Star Fox" character, was considered as a candidate by Sakurai, the combination of time constraints and using Fox and Falco as source materials resulted in Wolf having much better potential to be a fully realized fighter.
