Duck Hunt Dog

The Duck Hunt Dog is a character from the NES video game, Duck Hunt. Alongside a duck, the dog appears as an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, known as Duck Hunt in the US and Japanese versions and Duck Hunt Duo the European version.

The dog is a companion of sorts to the player, who helps flush ducks out of the bushes in order for the player to shoot them, but also mocks the player should they fail to shoot any of the ducks in a single set. This mocking laugh has made the dog rather infamous among video game characters, leaving many players feeling disappointed that they cannot shoot the dog instead of the ducks. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, he can summon an outlaw from Wild Gunman as well as a tin can from Hogan's Alley that explodes on contact.

In M.U.G.E.N, Duck Hunt Dog has been created by IIGamesMasterII under the name of That Damn Dog. Another version is a W.I.P. of DJ HANNIBALROYCE's, which is currently in open beta.

DJ HANNIBALROYCE's Duck Hunt Dog


This version uses custom sprites made by Shade Toner. Gameplay-wise, Duck Hunt Dog is a combo-heavy character that can easily link his attacks. A duck follows him around unlike in Super Smash Bros. 4, in which the duck rides upon the dog's back. His A.I. tends to be random, but can still beat players if they are not careful.
