This is a list of commercials used to advertise the Super Smash Bros. series. This article does not cover trailers, and instead focuses on short videos that aired either in television breaks or on video-sharing website pre-rolls to advertise the series. Most of these were released by Nintendo with the primary purpose of promoting the latest Smash title, but some are cross-promotions by third parties such as GameStop or Cartoon Network that provided copies of Smash games either in store or through sweepstakes; while others are Nintendo adverts primarily promoting the hardware that hosts the game while using Smash as a selling point.
