Melee]] for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], but returned as {{wp|downloadable content}} for [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]. In Melee, its voice and characterization are based on the Japanese portrayal of [[Mewtwo (original series)|the original Mewtwo from the anime]], although its spoken lines are removed in non-Japanese versions rather than being dubbed.

Mewtwo returned as a downloadable bonus character. It was confirmed to be a playable character during the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza on October 23, 2014. It was free for players who have bought both the 3DS and Wii U versions and have registered both to Club Nintendo by March 31, 2015, and those who received the code could redeem and download Mewtwo as early as April 14, 2015. However, Mewtwo is also purchasable for a small fee if one did not buy both games or did not register both to Club Nintendo. It became available to the public for purchase on April 28, 2015.


Mewtwo also appears in both versions as a normal trophy, and both versions of Mega Mewtwo appear as a single trophy in the Wii U version.
Mewtwo is now voiced by Keiji Fujiwara, replacing Masachika Ichimura's work from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. As in ''Melee'', Mewtwo has fully voiced victory quotes in Japanese (which are re-recorded versions of its ''Melee ''quotes), which are removed for international versions. It continues to be based on [[Mewtwo (original series)|the original series' Mewtwo from the anime]], marking the character's first appearance in any new media since ''Melee'' itself as well as ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Its attributes were tweaked from its ''Melee'' appearance, decreasing its weight but also improving its mobility and its special moves, making it a much more useful but more difficult character overall (especially with a multitude of buffs in the later patches of the game).

Mewtwo's [[Final Smash]] is its [[signature move]], {{m|Psystrike}}, performed after a [[Mega Evolution]] into Mega Mewtwo Y.

While most characters have a unique Palutena's Guidance conversation starring the ''Kid Icarus'' characters, Mewtwo and other DLC characters share a generic conversation where the ''Kid Icarus'' characters note their lack of information on the fighter.
*'''{{ip|Pit}}:''' Who is THAT?
*'''{{ip|Palutena}}:''' I have no data on this fighter. I can't believe it!
*'''{{ip|Viridi}}:''' It must be an intruder from another dimension!
*'''Pit:''' Whoever it is, the goal remains the same: to fight and win!

====Mewtwo (fighter)====
=====Mewtwo=====
'''NA:''' ''Mewtwo puts its psychic powers to great use in this game. Not only does it have floaty jumps, but its telekinesis gives its attacks extra reach and its throws added power. However, its light body makes it easy to launch, so if you're willing to take the risk of getting in close, it might just be worth it!''
 
'''PAL:''' ''Mewtwo puts its psychic powers to great use in this game. Not only can it float in midair, but its telekinesis gives its attacks extra reach and its throws added power. However, its light body makes it easy to launch, so if you're willing to take the risk of getting in close, it might just be worth it!''
 
====Mewtwo (Alt.)====
'''NA:''' ''Mewtwo's Confusion side special not only repels projectiles—it also reflects the damage back on your opponent. Its down special, Disable, stuns an enemy for longer the higher its damage is. Disable only works on foes that are facing Mewtwo.''
 
'''PAL:''' ''Mewtwo's Confusion Side Special not only lets you repel projectiles, it also reflects the damage back on your opponent. Its Down Special, Disable, stuns an enemy for longer the higher its damage is. As it works by having Mewtwo glare at its foe, this only works if they make eye contact.''
 
====Psystrike====
''Mewtwo's Final Smash starts as Mewtwo Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y. It then fires a huge psychic projectile that penetrates enemies and obstacles. This projectile doesn't do any damage, but it freezes every foe it hits in place. They can even be frozen midjump! Afterward, every foe hit with this projectile will take a powerful psychic hit to the head.''
 
====Mewtwo (non-fighter)====
''Created from modified Mew DNA, Mewtwo was designed to be the ultimate Pokémon. It didn't take on any of Mew's kinder traits and only uses its intelligence to destroy its enemies. Or...so it seems. Perhaps it just feels frightened or even tormented, and that's why it lashes out. Whatever the reason, Mewtwo is not to be messed with. ''

====Mega Mewtwo X & Y====
<gallery perrow=1>
'''NA:''' ''It's almost no surprise that a Pokémon as powerful as Mewtwo wouldn't be limited to a single Mega Evolution. Mega Mewtwo X has strong arms and legs, while Mega Mewtwo Y has a whiplike, slender head. The differences aren't just physical - X brings improved fighting power, while Y can unleash even more psychic power.''

'''PAL:''' ''Mega Mewtwo comes in two forms rather than just one. Mega Mewtwo X has visibly strengthened limbs, which greatly boost its physical abilities in battle. Mega Mewtwo Y, on the other hand, has a whip-like tendril extending from the back of its head, which augments its psychic powers.''
 
==Trivia==
*In the Japanese versions of both ''Melee'' and ''3DS/Wii U'', Mewtwo has spoken victory quotes. These are removed in international versions:
**"私はなぜ ここにいるのか...?"/''"Watashi wa naze koko ni iru no ka...?"'' ("Why am I here?")
**"愚かな!"/''"Orokana!"'' ("Foolish!")
**"私はまけるわけにはいかない!"/''"Watashi wa makeru wake ni wa ikanai!"'' ("I cannot lose!")
* This Mewtwo appears to be based on [[Mewtwo (original series)|the original series Mewtwo from the anime]], based on its ability to speak human language (as seen in Japanese versions only), its personality, its use of [[Shadow Ball]] as a signature move, and its design differences in ''3DS/Wii U'' from its actual model in ''{{g|X and Y}}''. Its voice actor in ''Melee'' is [[Masachika Ichimura]], who voiced Mewtwo in the Japanese version of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and was replaced with [[Keiji Fujiwara]] as a soundalike in ''3DS/Wii U''.
* This Mewtwo's appearance in ''3DS/Wii U'' also references [[Mewtwo (Best Wishes series)|the Mewtwo from Best Wishes]], with its {{sbw|Boxing Ring}} title of "A Legend Reawakened" being a play on [[M16|the name of that Mewtwo's movie]], as well as (possibly) its ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.
