I can't believe this game is ten years old. Even though I like Brawl a little better, I get MAJOR nostalgia whenever I play Melee or listen to its music. Good freakin' times.

I think he's separate for 2 reasons:
1) He's a non-playable boss character (a tough one at that).
2) His background image is the Super Smash Bros emblem, not the Mushroom Kingdom symbol like Bowser's.
Plus if we go by your logic, then Dr. Mario is the same as Mario, despite the fact Dr. Mario is actually heavier than Mario and has different move quirks (his Super Jump Punch actually packs more of a wallop than Mario's and Dr. Mario shoots pills instead of fireballs.

@SM Scorx In the game, then yeah, they've got different movesets, so with the definition of "character" being "fighter" or "playable character", they're different characters. But, in the definition of character as in "person", they are the same person. Dr. Mario is separate from Mario because he's a different character (meaning different moves). But he's also the same as Mario because they are the same character (meaning "person"). Make sense?
