About
Goku in Super Smash Bros. is a popular fan request for the inclusion of Son Goku, the protagonist of the the Japanese manga and anime franchise Dragon Ball, in the upcoming fourth and fifth installations of Nintendo's crossover fighting game series Super Smash Brothers (SSB). Driven by the large-scale support from the fans of both SSB and Dragon Ball, the topic has become a well-known in-joke among the fans of the game, similar to other instances of wishful SSB character predictions like "Shrek in Super Smash Bros".
Origin
SSB is a fighting video game series developed by Nintendo which features a growing cast of iconic characters, including Mario, Pikachu, Donkey Kong. On July 14th, 2006, Neoseeker Forums[1] member guilmon93950 submitted a thread titled "Should They Include Son Goku?" in the "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" board, receiving over 60 replies before it was closed 72 hours later.

![How did you react when you found out Ridley would finally be a fighter in the game? Trinen: [Laughs] Ridley hits the big time. Bihldorff: We were very happy. Obviously, we're both huge Metroid fans, and it's not something we were ever demanding be in the game, but just like any other Nintendo fan, we were happy to see another Metroid character come in. I Was certainly curious to see him be playable and find out what his move set is. True to form, Mr. Sakurai has clearly done his homework on Ridley and you see reflected in his movies. I'm excited to see what players can do with him. He's a heavier character which is not my forte. He was probably the number one most requested character -this means Goku is next right? He's probably number two.
