Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]], the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead. | Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros.

Mew is similar to a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}. It shares many traits with {{wp|cats}}. Its morphology is also vaguely similar to a {{wp|jerboa}}, having large hind legs and a long skinny tail. It is purported by scientists to be the ancestor of all other Pokémon, a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}. | Mew is similar to a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}.
