Super Smash Bros.
Mew has been a featured Pokémon in every one of the Super Smash Brothers games.

In original Super Smash Bros., a Mew will fly up without affecting the battlefield. In Super Smash Bros. Melee there is a 1 in 251 chance that a Poké Ball item contains Mew, and if this is the first time you see him, you will get an "achievement" after your battle. While it does not attack, the player receives 10,000 points after the battle is over. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it may even leave the player with a CD, a rare item that unlocks additional music in the game. Also, like in SSBM, if it's your first time seeing him, you will get a "Notice" record from encountering him. This can be viewed later, along with the date and time you received it.

Origins
Mew's name likely has to do with the onomatopoeia for a kitten's cry, referring to its cat-like appearance. It may also be based on a cat.
