Editing On-screen appearance

[[File:Marioentrance.jpg|thumb|left|{{SSBB|Mario}}'s on-screen appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.]]
[[File:IntroSSB.gif|thumb|{{SSB|Captain Falcon}} and {{SSB|Mario}} enter [[Peach's Castle]] in ''Super Smash Bros.'']]
The '''on-screen appearance''', also known as an '''intro''' or '''entrance''', is a minor feature in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It was not present in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', where instead, characters become animated from their trophy forms as seen in the opening movie. It includes a small animation unique for each character entering the battle field during the [[announcer]]'s [[Match timer#Pre-match timer|three-second countdown]] before the match begins. In ''Smash 64'' and ''Brawl'', as the announcer counts down before a match starts, the camera will either pan far enough away from the stage to show each entrance or zoom in on each character during the first few frames of their entrance. In {{for3ds}}, when a match starts, the screen will occasionally focus on the player's own on-screen appearance for the entire duration of the countdown, rather than moving between each character as they appear or showing the entire screen.<ref>http://youtu.be/eOEo0A7zVMU?t=5m51s</ref> It usually has no effect whatsoever on gameplay other than visually dramatic and comedic purposes. The exceptions to this rule are Zero Suit Samus's entrance in ''Brawl'', which allows the players to hit their opponents with the fallen pieces of the power suit; Wario's entrance, which lets Wario charge up his Wario Waft the moment he appears; and Olimar's entrance, which automatically has him [[Pikmin Pluck|pluck]] three Pikmin. Each entrance usually relates to that character's universe, such as [[Mario]] entering in through a warp pipe the way he does at the beginning of ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}''.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
[[File:NessOnScreenAppearanceMelee.gif|thumb|The on-screen appearance for {{SSBM|Ness}} in ''Melee'', which Ness shares with all other characters in the game.]]
Unique character based entrances were removed in ''Melee''. Instead, all playable characters briefly start as trophies that "come to life" at the start of the match, a reference to the [[Opening movie|game's introduction]]. Only Master Hand and Crazy Hand have "true" on-screen appearances, where they both gradually enter the stage from the background, laughing.

{{SSBM|Sheik}} has the same on-screen appearance as every other character, but it should be noted that the sound played when {{SSBM|Zelda}} transforms into Sheik is played when Sheik appears.

[[Giga Bowser]], when fought in [[The Showdown]] and [[Adventure Mode]], does not have any on-screen appearance of any type; when the countdown starts, he's already standing on the stage, although he does have an introduction clip before being fought in Adventure Mode, which consists of [[Giant Bowser]]'s trophy being flung back onto the stage, transforming into Giga Bowser. Taking advantage of [[hack]]s, Giga Bowser may be fought in Vs. Mode. He then appears as a trophy when the "Must be ON" code from [[Action Replay]] is not turned on. When this happens, he will be in a [[T-pose]] upon trophy appearance. This freezes on stages that are not part of the ''Smash'' universe. The CPU players, including allies, in [[Event matches]] are already in the fight when the countdown starts. In [[Event 50: Final Destination Match]], the hands' "true" appearances don't occur; they are already in the fight.
{{Clr}}

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==
[[File:ZeldaOnScreenAppearanceSSBB.gif|thumb|300px|Zelda's on-screen appearance in ''Brawl''.]]

The on-screen appearances in ''Brawl'' appear in VS matches only. The single player modes instead use a quicker appearance method similar to ''Melee's''. The characters are simply already present when the match/mode start or characters will spontaneously spawn out of nowhere during the match.

|Jumps out of a Warp Pipe in a scared pose, saying "Let's-a go." in an uneasy voice. His pose is similar to Luigi's face on the cover of ''{{s|mariowiki|Luigi's Mansion}}''. Similar to Mario's appearance but his pose is different.

|-
|{{SSBB|Sheik}}

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''==
On-screen appearances is set to return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' and it can only be used in VS matches, similar to ''Brawl''.

==Trivia==
*In {{for3ds}}, if there is at least one human player in the battle, then only Player 1's on-screen appearance<!--Note: when it says Player 1, it means whoever made the online room.--> will be focused on onscreen, before showing the other fighters standing in place. However, if the battle consists of only CPUs then all on-screen appearances will be shown one after another.
**When in a battle to [[Unlockable character|unlock a fighter]], however, the opposing fighter's on-screen appearance is focused on onscreen instead.
*[[Link]], [[Zero Suit Samus]] and [[Sheik]] are the only characters to change their on-screen appearance.
**Of these, Link is the only one not to change from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4''. Link is also the only one to change in multiple games.
*[[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Peach]] are the only characters that speak during their on screen appearances with Mario and Luigi saying "Let's a Go" and Peach saying "Hi".
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there was a small error regarding [[Toon Link]]'s entrance. If one looks closely at the explosion, one can clearly see that both his sword and shield are not sheathed even though they should be. This was fixed in both versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.
*Although [[Little Mac]]'s entrance animation shows him flinging off his pink sweatshirt, he does not do so if his currently chosen [[palette swap]] has him wearing it permanently (both wireframe and non-wireframe versions included). More interestingly, in {{for3ds}}, Little Mac's gloves only change color to match his currently chosen palette swap after he throws his sweatshirt off, meaning he always enters the stage wearing green gloves and a pink hoodie when not using a wireframe costume, and pink gloves with a green hoodie when using a wireframe costume.
*[[Corrin]] is the only character from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} series to not use Warp magic in his on-screen appearance.
*Because ''Melee'' uses the same on-screen appearance for every fighter, this made {{SSBM|Young Link}} and {{SSBM|Pichu}} the only fighters not to have a unique on-screen appearance prior to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
