Editing Credits

The '''credits''' are a feature shown at the end of a game that list the cast and staff members who worked on it. ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' have interactable credits that allow the player to (depending on the game) view more details about an individual, earn {{b|Gold|collectible}}, or increase their score. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' has a similar feature, the [[Character Roll Call]], except it lists the [[character]]s, [[item]]s and [[trophies]] instead. Standard ending credits do appear in ''Brawl'' after completing the [[Subspace Emissary]], though it isn't interactable.

Anything relating to {{SSB|Ness}}, {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSB|Luigi}}, or {{b|Mushroom Kingdom|SSB}} will appear as question marks in the information box if they are not unlocked yet; this is presumably done to prevent spoilers. Additionally, the voiced [[Poké Ball]] and [[Saffron City]] Pokémon do not have their voice actors credited.

After beating {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}, [[Adventure Mode]] or [[All-Star Mode]], the credits will appear as they do in ''Super Smash Bros.'' However, the credits go by much faster, have different paths that they can move, and do not pause when shot. The background is also different; whereas the original game had a blank, black background, ''Melee''{{'}}s credits feature what appears to be space, as the player travels around tunnels, a giant ''Smash'' logo, and some types of futuristic architecture. As in the previous game, the player can press Start to speed up the credits, as well as use B to pause the action. The game also displays how many credits they successfully hit at the mode's conclusion, though this score is not saved and has no impact on gameplay.

The amount of shootable names is different in each version: the Japanese-language versions have 191, the NTSC English-language versions have 190, and the PAL version has 192. 18 names and the extra details of 2 names are not immediately available, and only become present when unlocking fighters or trophies. Some of the voiced Poké Ball Pokémon have voice actor credits as well (Mika Kanai for [[Chikorita]], Yuji Ueda for [[Cyndaquil]] and [[Wobbuffet]], and Shin-ichiro Miki for [[Scizor]]). The presence of a score counter in the credits led to the formation of a [[List of rumors#Toad hoax|hoax]] that was later debunked.

The ending credits in ''Melee'' have unique songs for each character, with each one being rooted in their respective [[universe]]. Listed below are the tracks that play for each character.

Unlike the other games, where the completion of the primary 1P modes resulted in the player seeing the end credits, the ending credits in ''Brawl'' only play when the [[Subspace Emissary]] is completed and after [[Tabuu]] is defeated in subsequent playthroughs of the same Subspace Emissary file. The credits scroll in a more traditional manner, from the bottom of the screen to the top on a black background, and some boxes will also appear during the credits that show different short clips of some movies from The Subspace Emissary. Another difference is that the voice actors do not have their specific roles credited. Using the [[GameCube controller]]'s [[C-Stick]] or the [[Classic Controller]]'s right [[control stick]], the player can rotate the credits.

 

The music that plays during ''Brawl''{{'}}s ending credits is {{SSBBMusicLink|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Credits}}.

At the end of {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} and [[All-Star Mode]], the player instead views the [[Character Roll Call]], which inherited the shooting elements of ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee''{{'}}s ending credit rolls.

The credits return after beating {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}. Unlike the previous installments, it is a scrolling shooter that changes perspective as the player progresses. The player controls their fighter equipped with a [[Super Scope]] to fly around and shoot the names. Charged shots can hit multiple names by passing through them. Players can shoot an explosive item which triggers a [[Smart Bomb]]-like explosion to hit nearby names. Along the way, there will be small spaceships which try to either shoot at the player or get in their way; while they do not impede their progress, being hit will temporarily stun them, preventing them from shooting and potentially causing them to miss names. A score is displayed based on names that were hit and a progress bar with rewards is displayed on the bottom left corner. The progress bar will move towards the rewards as the player shoots the names at five different point thresholds: 100,000 points, 300,000 points, 600,000 points, 1,000,000 points and 1,500,000 points. The background is set in space with polygonal landscapes. The camera changes angles when the player progresses in the credits. The player can speed up the credits like in previous ''Smash Bros.'' games, which will likewise render them unable to shoot names (although the player can still fire the Super Scope). After the credits, the fighter's [[Congratulations screen|ending image]] can only appear before the final results screen just like in ''Smash 64''. Like in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', each character has their own separate music based on their own [[universe]].
