Veruca Salt

## How Veruca Salt joined the Tourney

Veruca is at a fight with her father. She yells at him, "Daddy! I want to be in the Tourney!!! I want to be in the Tourney NOW!!!"

## How to Unlock

The player must complete one of the following requirements to unlock Veruca Salt:

* Play 408 matches in the Versus Mode.
* Using Kazuya, finish Classic Mode.

For both of these options, the player must brawl Veruca Salt on the Wonka Factory Rootop stage. After defeating Veruca Salt, the announcer will say "Someone else has joined the Tourney!" after a Smash Ball appears on the lower-right corner of the screen with a message saying "You can now use the egg greedy Veruca Salt!".

## Trivia

* Veruca Salt has the shortest backstory of every character in all of the Super Smash Bros. Tourney series.
* Although her design is based on her appearance in the 2005 film, her idle pose references the 1971 film.
	+ The Oompa Loompa song that was sung after Veruca's elimination in the 2005 film is Veruca Salt's credits minigame theme (it also plays when the player fights her before she is unlocked), but the I Want it Now! song is nowhere to be found in Super Smash Bros. Tourney and its sequel.
* Super Smash Bros. Tourney marks the first time Veruca Salt falls asleep. She falls asleep in her fourth victory pose and at the end of her ending when she tried to ask what she wanted from her father but fell asleep before she could tell him what she wanted. She snores in both portions.
	+ Unlike the other characters who fall asleep when they do a victory pose or in an ending, Veruca produces Zs while she's asleep.
* In the 1971 film, Veruca Salt's elimination from the Willy Wonka's tour was because she was a bad egg. The same thing happened for her elimination in the 2005 film; only this time, she was a bad nut. For Super Smash Bros. Tourney and its sequel, she was eliminated by sinking into a quicksand pool and getting sucked under after some time in the ending of Mario. The latter elimination happened in a jungle during a safari, not in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.
* The rival of Veruca Salt is Byakuya.
