--Of those 16, 3 are now playable characters.
--Certain ATs cannot appear on certain stages.
--Rathalos is the only AT to double as a boss.
--The Yoshi, Ice Climber, Game & Watch, ROB, Wii Fit, Duck Hunt, Final Fantasy, & Mii franchise are the only ones with no assist characters.
--Nintendo tried to implement ATs in Melee; one proposed idea was having the Duck Hunt ducks flying around the battle.
Technically 4 ATs have become playable characters, if you count Vincent.
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
