## Franchise Description

For years, the Japanese government had kept a secret: mythical creatures such as centaurs, mermaids, harpies, and lamaias are real. Three years before the start of the story, the government revealed the existence of these creatures and passed the "Interspecies Cultural Exchange Act". Since then, these creatures, known as "liminals", have become a part of human society, living with ordinary families like foreign exchange students and au-pair visitors, but with other duties and restrictions (the primary restrictions being that liminals and humans are forbidden from harming each other or procreating).

In Asaka, Saitama, Kimihito Kurusu is a normal student who initially has no connection to the exchange program. However, when coordinator Kuroko Smith delivers the very scared and embarrassed Miia to his door by mistake, he cannot bring himself to send her away and allows her to live at his home, taking advantage of his parents' extended absence. As the story continues, Kimihito meets and gives shelter to other female liminals, each of a different species. Some arrive more or less by accident, while others are forced upon him by Smith or simply insinuate themselves into the house. Before long, Kimihito finds himself in a hectic environment, struggling to live in harmony with his new housemates while dealing with both their constant affectionate/romantic advances and the dramas of helping them get along in the human world. The situation takes on a new twist after he is told that because of expected changes in the law dealing with human-liminal relationships, he is expected to marry one of the girls as a test case, thus increasing their competition for his attention. However, as time passes, other liminal girls become attracted to him and begin to vie for his attention, much to Kimihito's embarrassment and the annoyance of his housemates.

## In *Super Smash Bros Ultimate*

After a complete dearth of references to anime and manga in general in the earlier games, *Ultimate* finally gives various anime universes representation, including *Monster Musume.*

### Fighters

* **Lala(Starter):** A Dullahan and the seventh resident of Kimihito's house. She is the second "D", which she initially denied, telling everyone she's merely there to warn Kimihito Kurusu of his impending death.
* **Papi and Suu(Unlockable):** Just like Banjo-Kazooie or Duck Hunt, they are a tag team that fights together as if they were a singular character. Papi is a Harpy who currently lives with Kimihito Kurusu. She is the second girl to officially move in with him. She's childish, both physically and mentally, despite being as old as Miia, while Suu is a Slime Girl that snuck into Kurusu's house without notice while looking for sources of water. She is the fourth girl to move in with him, albeit *unofficially*. Prior to her appearance Slimes were still considered fictional creatures by humans and, thanks to Ms. Smith not wanting to bother and overlooking the issue, are still thought of that way outside of the people she interacts with.
* **Centorea Shianus(DLC):** The third resident of Kimihito Kurusu's home. She is a very prim and proper centaur, referring to herself as a self-proclaimed knight.
* **Rachnera Arachnera(Unlockable):** Rachnera Arachnera (ラクネラ・アラクネラ, *Rakunera Arakunera*) is an Arachne and the sixth girl to move in with Kimihito and fifth girl to officially do so. Due to their fear of her, her original host family had sold her off to Kasegi, who used her and her webbing to make money. This, along with his cruel behavior left her with a deep hatred for humans. This behaviour changed after she abducted Kurusu and found out that he was a decent person who didn't discriminate against non-humans. Since then, Rachnera has been flirting with Kurusu while facing her fellow monster girls in the house, especially Miia and Centorea Shianus who see her as their love rival for Kurusu.
* **Zombina(Unlockable):** One of the Living Dead, and a member of the M.O.N.(Monster Ops: Neutralization) where she functions as the Commando (or Ninja).
* **Miia(DLC):** A Lamia (Snake Girl) and the first girl to be placed with Kurusu as part of the Cultural Exchange Between Species Bill. After experiencing Kurusu's kindness firsthand, she has fallen head over tail in love with him to the point of trying to seduce him at almost every opportunity or otherwise jealously coveting his attention. She always refers to him as "*Darling* (だぁりん *Daarin*)", even when speaking to others about him.

### Assist Trophies

* **Draco:** A Dragonewt, a species that is descendant from dragons. She is a minor antagonist that attacks Miia on her date with Kimihito in a misguided attempt to become friends with her. She was considered a suspect to the threatening letter sent to Kimihito, but was revealed to have no knowledge of such.
* **Shizuka:** A Tengu that appears in *Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls Online*. Shizuka carries a Ha-uchiwa (羽団扇 "feather fan"); a fan associated with the Tengu race that have the ability to grow or shrink a person's nose and possess the power to stir up great winds.
* **Emeth:** Emeth is a Clay Golem that appears in *Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls Online*. Okayado has stated that Emeth and Kalolo are his favourite girls in *Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls Online,* so Emeth makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Definitive Edition as an Assist Trophy.
* **Tionishia:** Tionishia, or "Tio" for short, is an Ogre and a member of M.O.N., where she serves as the team's hostage escort/guard, due to her immense size and strength.

### Bosses

* **Draco:** A Dragonewt, a species that is descendant from dragons. She is a minor antagonist that attacks Miia on her date with Kimihito in a misguided attempt to become friends with her. She was considered a suspect to the threatening letter sent to Kimihito, but was revealed to have no knowledge of such.
* **Meroune's Mother:** Meroune's Mother (メロウヌの母親, *Merōnu no Hahaoya*) is the currently unnamed mother of Meroune Lorelei. She is also the current Queen of the Mermaid Kingdom. As the current mermaid queen, Meroune's mother has an incredibly regal appearance, consisting of an elaborate headpiece and necklace, a frilly skirt and trail, and long hair styled in several thick, tightly wound curls. She is also seen wielding a long trident. At first glance, Queen Lorelei seems like a stern and reserved ruler who bases her decisions on what is best for the Mermaid Kingdom without letting her personal sentiments cloud her judgment. She is later revealed to be a self-absorbed and dangerously immature tyrant who prioritizes her own passions at the expense of her family and her people. This is furthered by having her in King Dedede and Escargoon's Classic Mode, due to Dedede being a self-absorbed and dangerously immature tyrant, and due to Escargoon being a lackey of Dedede.

### Stage

* **Kurusu House(Starter):** the primary location where the *Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls* series occurs. Located within the suburbs of Asaka city, the Kurusu House is the home residence of the Kurusu family, or more particularly the home residence of Kimihito Kurusu as his parents seldom live at the address due to their careers causing them to travel abroad. Originally a typical large, modern Japanese home, since Kimihito became involved with the Cultural Exchange Between Species Bill's cultural exchange program, the house has been renovated multiple times to cater for the needs of it's various liminal house guests. These renovations include widened hallways and enlarged bath and toilet facilities to cater for Lamia and Centaur bodies as well as the establishment of an indoor pool to cater for Mermaids. Following an incident where the house's attic collapsed into the floor below, the house's occupants were forced to go on a vacation while the necessary repairs were carried out. Presumably made during these repairs, Meroune's Mother had several "extensions" made to Meroune's room; including an extended basement level accessed through her swimming pool. These "extensions" also included remote control for all of the house's systems (including air ventilation, door locks and alarms) and a security feature which, when activated, encases the house within a transparent, water-tight, tank and floods the entire premises in water. This security feature was activated when the house became inundated with Matango spores, as purging the entire structure with water was thought to be the quickest and safest way to wash away the spores. The house was returned to normal without any notable damages shortly after the incident.

### World of Light Sub-World

* **Kurusu House:** A sub-dungeon based off Kimihito's house. Draco appears as the boss and must be defeated to progress through the story. The player can unlock Papi & Suu and Miia, with the latter being unlocked after you defeat Draco.

### Items

* **Grimoire:** A text-based book of magic typically filled with instructions on how to create magical objects like talismans and amulets, how to perform magical spells, charms and divination, and how to summon or invoke supernatural entities such as angels, spirits, deities, and demons. The item in *Smash* grants random status effects to the user.
* **LeHui AUG "Steyr" Gel Blaster:** A more powerful variation of the Super Scope.

### Music

* **Saikōsoku Fall in Love:** An energetic rearrangement of the first opening in the series sung by the voice actresses for Miia, Papi, Centorea, Suu, Mero, and Rachnera. (Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJVg4UW9xag)
* **Da-Da-Dash!:** (Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDfU\_YZzAXU)
