In ''Brawl'', names can be transferred to the [[Wii Remote]] and can then be transferred to another [[Wii]] console. [[KO Stars]] are temporarily awarded to a given name profile for scored KOs, lasting until the player exits [[Versus Mode]] or changes their name. | In ''Brawl'', names can be transferred to the [[Wii Remote]] and can then be transferred to another [[Wii]] console.

Starting in ''Brawl'', names appear on the multiplayer [[results screen]], and in ''Ultimate'', they appear in the fighter splash screen before a match starts. | Starting in ''Brawl'', names appear on the multiplayer [[results screen]], and in ''Ultimate'', they appear in the fighter splash screen before a match starts. | ||
In rare cases, names may affect gameplay. For example, in ''Melee'', name tags remain visible even if they are pointing to an invisible character, making it easier to [[punish]] teleportation special moves such as [[Farore's Wind]] and [[Vanish]] | In rare cases, names may affect gameplay.

In {{Forwiiu}}, due to the lack of voice chat when playing any of the [[With Anyone]] modes online, some players use names as a means of communicating with other players, sending messages such as "good game". However, griefers may change their name to something less appreciated, like "youretrash". | |||

There is also an option to have the game enter a random name from a curated list. Most of these random names that can appear are names of existing [[Nintendo]] characters alongside normal words, slang phrases and some inside jokes. | There is also an option to have the game enter a random name from a curated list.

The Name Entry will refuse to set names such as "[[CPU]]" and "[[Player|P1]]", likely due to them being tags for players without names. However, variations with lowercase letters, such as "Cpu" and "p1", can be set.

However, variations with lowercase letters, such as "Cpu" and "p1", can be set. In {{forwiiu}}, in addition to this, the Name Entry uses the Wii U's native word filter, preventing names with potentially inappropriate jargon from being set. Neither of these restrictions are present in ''Ultimate'', partially due to the absence of a word filter on the [[Nintendo Switch]]. | ||
In ''Melee'', the Name Entry menu is the key to activating the [[Name Entry glitch]] and its derivatives, including the [[Master Hand glitch]]. | In ''Melee'', the Name Entry menu is the key to activating the [[Name Entry glitch]] and its derivatives, including the [[Master Hand glitch]]. | ||

*Coincidentally, one of the autopick names in ''Melee'' is "[[Ike]]", who did not exist at the time, but would become a playable character in ''Brawl''; this continued in ''Brawl'', where one of the autopick names was "[[Robin]]", who also did not exist at the time, but was playable in ''SSB4''. Sora also coincidentally appeared as one of the autopick names in ''SSBU'', though this is likely referring to [[Sora Ltd]], a major developer of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series since ''Brawl''. | *Coincidentally, one of the autopick names in ''Melee'' is "[[Ike]]", who did not exist at the time, but would become a playable character in ''Brawl''; this continued in ''Brawl'', where one of the autopick names was "[[Robin]]", who also did not exist at the time, but was playable in ''SSB4''.
