''A Genetic Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon was based on a recombination of Mew's DNA, created by a scientist after years of research. However, Mewtwo greatly differs from Mew in both size and personality and it is said to have the most twisted and savage heart among all Pokémon. Mewtwo has incredibly high combat abilities and uses Psychic-type attacks.''

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 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 (M01)|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).

''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. ''

Mewtwo's {{sbw|Classic Mode}} route is called '''Psychic Control'''. In it, after Mewtwo completes a round, one of its opponents joins it as an ally in the next fight in an alternate costume. This ally is often one, or represents one, that has been brainwashed in their series, and is likely a reference to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} controls a [[Nurse Joy]] to act as a proxy. His various "allies" in each match also reference their home series, where they were either possessed or brainwashed into becoming evil or had to confront an evil copy of themselves in Pikachu's case.

* This Mewtwo appears to be based on the {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} of the {{pkmn|anime}}'s [[original series]], 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 [[List of Japanese voice actors|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.
