|-
|March 3rd, 2003-July 10th, 2005||[[IVGF NorthWest Regionals]]||{{GameIcon|Melee}}||~151||{{Sm|Recipherus|USA}}||Due to the US's patchy ''Smash'' scene at the time, combined with an underdeveloped Internet, this is probably one of the earliest known records of a tournament with a large number of entrants. The exact number of entrants is also unclear, with claims of the entrant numbers being unsourced.
|-

|-
|July 12th-August 24th, 2007||[[MELEE-FC Diamond]]||{{GameIcon|Melee}}||256||{{Sm|Mew2King|USA}}||
|-
|August 24th, 2007-August 30th, 2008||[[EVO World 2007]]||{{GameIcon|Melee}}||270||{{Sm|Ken|USA}}||Fastest to beat the record for the largest Smash tournament overall at 41 days after MELEE-FC Diamond, if ''Melee'' and ''Smash 4'' breaking the record at the same tournament at both EVO 2015 and EVO 2016 are not counted.
|-
|August 30th, 2008-January 16th, 2010||[[AxisGaming]]||{{GameIcon|Brawl}}||303||{{Sm|DSF|USA}}||First time a game other than ''Melee'' has beaten the record for the largest ''Smash'' tournament overall. Largest ''Smash'' tournament of the 2000s.
|-
|January 16th, 2010-January 6th, 2012||[[Pound 4]]||{{GameIcon|Melee}}||347||{{Sm|Mango|USA}}||Largest ''Melee'' tournament in the pre-EVO 2013 era.
|-
|January 6th, 2012-July 12th, 2013||[[Apex 2012]]||{{GameIcon|Brawl}}||400||{{Sm|Otori|Japan}}||Current record holder for the largest ''Brawl'' tournament''.
|-
|July 12th, 2013-July 11th, 2014||[[EVO 2013]]||{{GameIcon|Melee}}||709||{{Sm|Mango|USA}}||This tournament is considered the beginning of the [[Platinum Age]], and despite an unprecedented number of entrants, it would be followed by even larger tournaments in the years to come.
|-

|-
|January 30th-July 17th, 2015||[[Apex 2015]]||{{GameIcon|Melee}}||1,037||{{Sm|PPMD|USA}}||First tournament to reach 1,000 entrants, and, since EVO 2013, the only non-EVO tournament to ever hold the record as the largest Smash tournament overall. However, due to the tournament's venue change, a significant number of players are suspected to have been unable to show up to the new venue. Thus, based on actual attendance, it is disputable whether Apex 2015 can be considered as holding the title of the largest Smash tournament of all time. It would also break the record for the largest tournament in the most Smash games at three: ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'', and ''Smash Wii U''. It was the largest tournament before DLC fighters were added to ''Smash Wii U''.
|-
|July 17th-19th, 2015||[[EVO 2015]]||{{GameIcon|Melee}}||1,869||{{Sm|Armada|Sweden}}||While ''Melee'' at EVO 2015 broke the record for the largest Smash tournament overall, ''Smash Wii U'' had more entrants at the same event.
|-
|July 17th, 2015-July 15th, 2016||[[EVO 2015]]||{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}||1,926||{{Sm|ZeRo|Chile}}||Beat the record for the largest Smash tournament overall by the largest margin, at 889 more entrants than ''Melee'' at Apex 2015.
|-
|July 15th-17th, 2016||[[EVO 2016]]||{{GameIcon|Melee}}||2,372||{{Sm|Hungrybox|USA}}||Current record holder for the largest ''Melee'' tournament; first Smash tournament to break 2,000 entrants, along with ''Smash Wii U'' at the same event. Just like the previous EVO, ''Melee'' at EVO 2016 broke the record for the largest Smash tournament overall, but ''Smash Wii U'' had more entrants at the same event.
|-
|July 15th, 2016-August 2nd, 2019||[[EVO 2016]]||{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}||2,662||{{Sm|Ally|Canada}}||Current record holder for the largest ''Smash 4'' tournament. It was the first Smash tournament to break 2,000 entrants, along with ''Melee'' at the same event. It held the record for the largest Smash tournament overall for the longest time at three years. It was the largest tournament before DLC fighters finished releasing in ''Smash Wii U''.
|-
|August 2nd, 2019-present||{{Trn|EVO 2019}}||{{GameIcon|Ultimate}}||3,534|||{{Sm|MkLeo|Mexico}}||Current record holder for the largest Smash tournament of all time, and currently the largest ''Ultimate'' tournament.

Thus, based on actual attendance, it is disputable whether Apex 2015 can be considered as holding the title of the largest ''Smash 64'' tournament of all time.

|January 16th, 2010-July 12th, 2013||[[Pound 4]]||347||{{Sm|Mango|USA}}||Remained unbeaten as the largest ''Melee'' tournament for three and a half years; was the largest ''Melee'' tournament in the pre-EVO 2013 era.
|-
|July 12th, 2013-July 11th, 2014||[[EVO 2013]]||709||{{Sm|Mango|USA}}||Beat Pound 4's record with twice the amount of entrants. This tournament is considered the beginning of the [[Platinum Age]], and despite an unprecedented number of entrants, it would be followed by even larger tournaments in the years to come.
|-
|July 11th, 2014-January 30th, 2015||[[EVO 2014]]||970||{{Sm|Mango|USA}}||Largest pre-''Smash 4'' tournament.
|-
|January 30th-July 17th, 2015||[[Apex 2015]]||1,037||{{Sm|PPMD|USA}}||First tournament to reach 1,000 entrants, and, since EVO 2013, the only non-EVO tournament to ever hold the record as the largest ''Melee'' tournament. However, due to the tournament's venue change, a significant number of players are suspected to have been unable to show up to the new venue. Thus, based on actual attendance, it is disputable whether Apex 2015 can be considered as holding the title of the largest ''Melee'' tournament of all time. It would also break the record for the largest tournament in the most Smash games at three: ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'', and ''Smash Wii U''.
|-
|July 17th, 2015-July 15th, 2016||[[EVO 2015]]||1,869||{{Sm|Armada|Sweden}}||Beat the record for the largest ''Melee'' tournament by the largest margin, at 832 more entrants than Apex 2015.
|-
|July 15th, 2016-present||[[EVO 2016]]||2,372||{{Sm|Hungrybox|USA}}||Current record holder, first ''Melee'' tournament to break 2,000 entrants, and has held the record for the largest ''Melee'' tournament for the longest time.

|-
|August 30th, 2008-January 6th, 2012||[[AxisGaming]]||303||{{Sm|DSF|USA}}||Held the record for the largest ''Brawl'' tournament for three years, and beat the record by the largest margin at 111 more entrants than UCLA VI: A New Hope. It beat the record for the largest Smash tournament overall, beating 270 entrants for ''Melee'' at EVO World 2007.
|-
|January 6th, 2012-present||[[Apex 2012]]||400||{{Sm|Otori|Japan}}||Current record holder, and the only record for the largest ''Brawl'' tournament set outside of 2008. It beat the record for the largest Smash tournament overall, beating 347 entrants for ''Melee'' at Pound 4. Because no ''Brawl'' tournament has beaten the record since, it has held the record for the largest tournament for the longest out of ''Brawl'' or any Smash game overall.

|-
|January 30th-July 17th, 2015||[[Apex 2015]]||{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}||837||{{Sm|ZeRo|Chile}}||Fastest to beat the record for the largest ''Smash 4'' tournament at just 13 days after Final Battle. Due to the tournament's venue change, a significant number of players are suspected to have been unable to show up to the new venue, and ''Smash 4'' had 103 DQs. If it was the largest tournament in both ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'', it would break the record for the largest tournament in the most Smash games at three: ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'', and ''Smash Wii U''. It would also have more than triple the attendants than Final Battle. It was the largest tournament before DLC fighters were added.
|-
|July 17th, 2015-July 15th, 2016||[[EVO 2015]]||{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}||1,926||{{Sm|ZeRo|Chile}}||First ''Smash 4'' tournament to reach 1,000 entrants; has beaten the record by the largest margin out of any largest Smash tournament record at 1,089 more entrants than Apex 2015, which is more than twice the entrants. It beat the record for the largest Smash tournament overall, beating 1,037 entrants for Melee at Apex 2015 and 1,826 entrants for Melee at EVO 2015, the same event. It was the largest tournament before DLC fighters finished releasing.
|-
|July 15th, 2016-present||[[EVO 2016]]||{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}||2,662||{{Sm|Ally|Canada}}||Current record holder. It was the first ''Smash 4'' tournament to break 2,000 entrants. It has held the record for the longest time in both ''Smash 4'' and the series overall.

Note that while NEW GAME PLUS started on December 7th, ''Ultimate'' singles started on December 8th. This is also by far the fastest a Smash game has had a tournament with 100 entrants or more post-release, only a day after its launch on December 7th, 2018. Although [[EVO 2015]] and [[EVO 2016]] broke entrant records simultaneously in different games, this is the first time a record has been held on the same day within one game.

Don't Park on the Grass 2018 was one of the first national ''Ultimate'' tournaments. With Umebura SP the following day, or because of Don't Park on the Grass 2018's and Umebura SP's ''Ultimate'' singles starting eight and a half hours apart due to time zones, this is the shortest time a tournament has held the record for the largest Smash tournament out of any game.

It is the first Smash tournament to break 3,000 entrants. EVO 2019 also broke the record by the largest margin out of any largest Smash tournament record, with over 1,300 more than the last record. It has held the record for the largest ''Ultimate'' tournament for the longest time, at two years, coincidentally passing GENESIS 6 on the same day one year after GENESIS 6 was held. It was the largest tournament before DLC fighters finished releasing.
