After the Super Smash Bros. release in Japan, Nintendo began a poll to gauge public interests for future roster additions. Of the top ten, seven have since been added, with the remaining three left out. James Bond was most likely left out due to legal reasons, as he is not originally a video game character and belongs to a more strict estate. While not playable, Mew and Toad both make cameos with Mew being a rare Pokeball result and Toad being used in one of Peach's attacks in later games.
