'''Bones''' (also called '''nodes''', '''joints''', and similar names) are the mechanism for animating characters and other complex objects. Characters are generally modelled in a [[T-pose]] or similar position, and then "rigged" with bones to allow movement of body parts. | '''Bones''' (also called '''nodes''', '''joints''', and similar names) are the mechanism for animating characters and other complex objects.

In the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, bones have a secondary important purpose: All [[hitbox]]es and [[hurtbox]]es are attached to a certain bone so they move and rotate alongside their owner's animation. For example, putting a hitbox on a character's elbow bone, and offsetting it so it aligns with the character's hand, means it will always be in the same place as the hand without having to manually place it every frame. That said, many attacks are designed with manual placement instead, often to get specific hitbox shapes when the animation is inconvenient. Such hitboxes are usually attached to a bone that never moves during animations. | In the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, bones have a secondary important purpose: All [[hitbox]]es and [[hurtbox]]es are attached to a certain bone so they move and rotate alongside their owner's animation.

Beginning in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', all the basic bones (head, arms, legs, etc) are the same for everyone, and any unique bones (hair, capes, etc) come afterward. This allows Kirby's [[Copy Ability]] to simply copy the code of the original character, rather than Kirby having to have his own independent version of every move. | ||
[[Moveset swap]]s tend to reveal unusual properties of bones, as they apply the wrong animations to a character. | [[Moveset swap]]s tend to reveal unusual properties of bones, as they apply the wrong animations to a character. | ||
