Jigglypuff is a playable character, but it must be unlocked by clearing the 1-Player mode with any character. Jigglypuff has one of the best recoveries in the game and can use its low-power aerial attacks to combo larger and heavier opponents easily, but it also the lightest character and thus very easy to knock off the stage; this results in competitive players determining it to be the 8th-most viable character in the game. Jigglypuff shares the {{st|Saffron City}} stage with {{SSB|Pikachu}}.

Jigglypuff's moves are {{m|Pound}}, a basic move when the B-button is pressed, {{m|Sing}} which causes opponents to fall asleep, is the Up-B move, and {{m|Rest}} will send a foe flying if they are close enough, but if it misses, Jigglypuff is very vulnerable. This is Jigglypuff's Down-B move.

Jigglypuff appears again in the sequel, Super Smash Bros. Melee, but like the first game, it must be unlocked first by completing Classic Mode with any character. It shares the {{st|Pokémon Stadium}} with {{SSB|Pikachu}}, {{SSB|Mewtwo}} and {{SSB|Pichu}}. Jigglypuff's Pound attack is moved to its Side-B attack, and instead, {{m|Rollout}} is Jigglypuff's new B attack. When the player holds B Jigglypuff will begin to charge. It can be let go at any time, though the longer it is charged, the stronger the attack will be. The move is sometimes hard to control.

Jigglypuff is currently 5th on ''Melee'''s tier list, meaning it consistently achieves very strong tournament results. It has a combination of attributes - fast aerial movement, quick and strong aerial attacks, and multiple jumps - that allow it to dominate aerial combat, while Rest can end an opponent's stock at shockingly early percentages and can be comboed into with little chance of escape for many of the fast-falling characters faced in tournament play. On the other hand, many such characters find it easy to KO Jigglypuff due to its light weight.

Jigglypuff appears again in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and must be unlocked. The player can unlock Jigglypuff through the {{sbw|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary}}, which Jigglypuff plays no major role in. Like the other characters, Jigglypuff receives a [[Final Smash]] this time around. It is called "Puff Up" and it makes Jigglypuff grow to a giant state, knocking out players that come too close to it. After a short amount of time, Jigglypuff shrinks back down to normal size.

Despite retaining most of its aerial combat prowess from ''Melee'', Jigglypuff has dropped to the bottom of ''Brawl'''s tier list and sits in third-last place (36th), being deemed unviable for competitive success. Aside from Rest having been reduced significantly in power, the different physics of the game result in Jigglypuff's strategy of multiple aerials strung together both harder to pull off and less rewarding to execute.
