Actual Heights of SSB Characters

[Draconus297]

Yes, I know that their status as "trophies" makes scaling a non-issue for the cast, but I was always bugged by the fact that the characters were not their "real" heights. Please note that I cannot claim to be familiar with all of Nintendo's library, and I have never played a single MegaMan game, so if you can provide information I cannot, please help me fill in the blanks. Now, I am from America, so I will be using Customary/Imperial measurements, so if the numbers irritate you, I believe that Google's unit calculator will line things up into Metric.

First things first, the smallest character in the lineup is Olimar (well, his Pikmin army)- Olimar himself is confirmed in the second game's manual to be the size of a quarter, with the Pikmin being ever-so-slightly smaller.

Secondly, we come to ROB. A real Robotic Operating Buddy stands at ~9.5" tall, or just over 3/4 of a foot tall.

Game Theory confirmed for us that Mario is 4'10", and calculating off of that, Wario is approximately 5 feet even, Yoshi is usually close to 5'4", Luigi and Peach are both 5'6", Bowser is a staggering 9'8", Rosalina is an absurd 7 feet tall, and Bowser Jr., not counting his weirdly variable hair, is 4'6" in all of his appearances. I went with the most definitive comparisons, and if those were unavailable I averaged numbers.

Samus is directly confirmed to be 6'3" by the Super Metroid manual.

Pit (and, by extension, Dark Pit) I decided to calculate based off of relation to Samus- while Viridi claims that Metroid and Komaytos are different species, I assume them to be roughly the same size, which puts Pit at 5'4". Using more math from Pit's height, Palutena is roughly six feet even.

Shulk has the arrow in the sky, determining distances. Calculating based off of how much distance his stride covers, I got a ballpark number of 5'6". I will bow to a wiki number if one exists.

Because Link is based off of his Twilight Princess incarnation, I used the bugs (which are actually in scale with the people and ghost rats) to get his height at about 5'8", and I decided to round to get Zelda's 5'7". Ganondorf, by extension, is 6'4".

Off the top of my head, the Pokédex entries for Jigglypuff, Pikachu, and Charizard claim their heights are 1'4", 1'8", and 5'7" respectively.

Ness is supposed to be your average 13-year-old boy in the American suburbs in the '90s, which pegs him around 5'1". (Explains why he was not afraid of Wario in Subspace Emissary- he's taller.)

That's all I have for right now, but please add in or correct any figures you feel the need to.

While doing the above, I got a silly image of Olimar going Shadow of the Colossus on Bowser.

Ness wasn't scared of Wario because he is a psychokinetic bat-wielding master, not simply because "he's taller". I will leave now...
