Many western fans were first introduced to Fire Emblem in 2001 via [[Super Smash Bros.]], two years before the first Fire Emblem would be released outside of Japan, as [[Marth]] and [[Roy]] were both playable fighters. This has lead to some jokes within the fandom, Marth is sometimes referred to as "''Marth from Smash Brothers''" and when new Fire Emblem were announced many would jokingly ask if Marth and Roy were playable. | Many western fans were first introduced to Fire Emblem in 2001 via [[Super Smash Bros.]], two years before the first Fire Emblem would be released outside of Japan, as [[Marth]] and [[Roy]] were both playable fighters.
