Rapunzel

## How Rapunzel joined the Tourney

Rapunzel is not a typical Disney Princess; she carries her blonde hair, which is 70 feet long and has the magical ability to both heal and reverse aging when she sings a special Healing Incantation song. Kidnapped by Mother Gothel when she was still an infant, Rapunzel had been raised and locked away in a tall tower up until her 18th birthday, when she is 'rescued' by Flynn Rider. However, she does view Mother Gothel as her maternal mother despite being kidnapped. Rapunzel spends her time painting, cooking, candle-making, reading, brushing her hair, playing with Pascal, observing the outside world from within the tower, singing, and interacting with Mother Gothel. Being immensely fascinated by the floating lanterns that took place on her birthday every year, Rapunzel begins to develop a sense of curiosity and seeks to fulfill the dream of seeing those "lights in the sky" one day. However, she does not overcome Mother Gothel's strict guardianship and thus has been staying in the tower, longing for the day when her life "begins".

## How to Unlock

In Tourney 1, the following must be completed in order to unlock Rapunzel:

* Play 745 matches in the Versus Mode.

For all three methods, you must fight Rapunzel at Hulao Gate. After defeating Rapunzel, 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 Rapunzel, princess of Corona!" She will be seen right of [[Eliza], left of Zatanna, above Squidward, and below King Dedede.

## Trivia

* Many characters have a special quote to be said against Reshiram and Zekrom, but Rapunzel is among of few characters to have two separate quotes when fighting against them; in Rapunzel's case, she says "Mother says when I was a baby, people who tried to cut it... They wanted to take it for themselves." when against Reshiram, and she says "And you were wrong about ME! And I WILL NEVER LET YOU USE MY HAIR AGAIN!" when against Zekrom.
* Rapunzel is the only character in all of the Super Smash Bros. Tourney series to NOT use the usual Hyper Smash SFX, which is the SFX used when activating a Super Combo in Street Fighter IV, when activating her Hyper Smash. Instead, the Level 1 Hyper Combo SFX from Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is used when she does her Hyper Smash. She DOES use the usual Final Smash SFX in Super Smash Bros. Tourney, which is the SFX used when activating an Ultra Combo in Street Fighter IV, when activating her Final Smash.
* Rapunzel is among the few characters in both Super Smash Bros. Tourney series games to be an unlockable character in the first game but a starter in the second.
* The default rival of Rapunzel in both games is Cobra. The second rival of Rapunzel in the second game is Prototype Jack.
