Greninja is a swift, agile fighter that uses its speed to keep opponents on their toes, and is able to keep able opponents at bay thanks to its powerful Water Shuriken. According to {{sbw|Masahiro Sakurai}}, Greninja was already being developed as a playable character before [[Pokémon X and Y]] were announced. Greninja is the last character to make its debut in a Nintendo game sans DLC, and thus is the last opponent faced in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS's {{sbw|All-Star Mode}}, after {{few|Robin}} and {{few|Lucina}} but before {{few|Corrin}}{{tt|*|If the DLC was purchased}} on either {{smw|Rainbow Road}}, {{st|Prism Tower}}, {{few|Arena Ferox}}, or {{xsw|Gaur Plain}}.

Greninja (Japanese: ゲッコウガ Gekkouga) is a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. series.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U
Greninja is a swift, agile fighter that uses its speed to keep opponents on their toes, and is able to keep able opponents at bay thanks to its powerful Water Shuriken. According to Masahiro Sakurai, Greninja was already being developed as a playable character before Pokémon X and Y were announced. Greninja is the last character to make its debut in a Nintendo game sans DLC, and thus is the last opponent faced in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS's All-Star Mode, after Robin and Lucina but before Corrin* on either Rainbow Road, Prism Tower, Arena Ferox, or Gaur Plain. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U's All-Star Mode, however, Greninja is one of the first characters fought, along with Corrin*, Robin, Shulk, Dark Pit and Lucina on either Kalos Pokémon League, Coliseum, Mario Galaxy, Skyworld, or Wii Fit Studio.
Greninja appears as three trophies, with its Final Smash trophy being exclusive to the Wii U version of the game.

NA: This Water/Dark-type Pokémon is the fully evolved form of Froakie. It's just as fast and dangerous as any other ninja, and the throwing stars it can make out of water can shear metal. In Smash Bros., as well as being a graceful, speedy fighter, it can also use moves like Hydro Pump that let it travel through the air and avoid falling.

Greninja (Alt.)
NA: Greninja's Substitute down special lets you teleport to dodge attacks and then strike back, making it an effective and hard-to-predict way to counterattack. You can also control where you reappear by inputting directions. When you vanish, sometimes you'll be replaced by a log, other times by a cuddly toy.

Secret Ninja Attack
NA: In Greninja's Final Smash, it uses its Mat Block move to flip opponents into the air.

Greninja returned as a fighter in Ultimate. By default, Greninja is the 58th character to be unlocked through VS. matches, but can potentially be unlocked earlier by clearing Classic Mode with Donkey Kong or anyone in his unlock tree, being the sixth fighter unlocked after Sheik.
Greninja is much faster in Ultimate, with more agile movement and less landing lag in its aerial attacks, as well as stronger normal attacks with more damage and knockback. Its Water Shurikens have slightly better ranger, its Substitute reacts faster. Greninja's Hydro Pump now has an arrow that indicates the direction the player is going, while a tell is added to Greninja's Shadow Sneak. While these changes can make Greninja easier to play, it can also make it easier to predict. Greninja's Final Smash, while mechanically the same, transforms it into Ash-Greninja before performing the initial Mat Block.

Greninja's Classic Mode route is called Your Turn, Greninja! In this scenario, Greninja fights up to two Pokémon fighters in each round. Sometimes, these fighters are joined by ones from another franchise that matches their type. Note that Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard all appear without Pokémon Trainer and cannot switch.
Its last boss is Master Hand, who is joined by Crazy Hand if the player reaches the fight at intensity 7.0 or higher.

Greninja was hit shortly after and vaporized, getting imprisoned by Galeem afterward along with the other fighters, excluding Kirby. A puppet fighter cloned from Greninja is later seen alongside ones cloned from Fox, Samus, Link, and other fighters.
Greninja's icon isn't found until the player reaches the World of Dark, where it is located in the Mysterious Dimension subarea. After defeating it, Greninja is freed and can be selected in battle in the Adventure mode.
Smash Taunt information
Palutena's Guidance
- Pit: What is that? Some kind of ninja frog?
- Palutena: That's the Pokémon Greninja. Its strengths are agility and speed. What looks like a scarf is actually its tongue.
- Viridi: As a defensive measure, I suggest rubbing spicy peppers all over yourself.
- Pit: How can Greninja taste anything with its tongue hanging out like that?
- Palutena: It could be one of those rare ninjas that just eats very slowly.
- Pit: What?! But that makes no sense! ...Anyway, just tell me how to win!
- Palutena: Greninja creates throwing stars out of compressed water and unleashes them at high speed. This attack is called Water Shuriken. If Greninja starts to charge up its Water Shuriken, be prepared to reflect it back!

- Outside of Pokémon, Luigi, Snake, and Kazuya Mishima are the only other characters to have this trait.

Melee.
- In every language of the game, Greninja shares its voice actor with Ash's Greninja in the respective language. Starting with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Greninja uses water kunai in some of its attacks like Ash's Greninja does when using Cut, and it becomes Ash-Greninja during its Final Smash.
- Like all other characters, both Greninja and the Pokémon Trainer's Squirtle can drown in the Super Smash Bros. games if they swim for too long, despite being capable swimmers.
