The '''Screen''' menu in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' gives an in-game means of changing the widescreen settings of the [[Wii]] console to match the television being used. It is accessed via the Options menu from the main menu. By default, it inherits the setting enabled in the main Wii console options, though players can choose to override this setting.

The two options are:
The two options are:
*'''4:3 Standard''' - Causes the game to render the output with a narrower "full screen" camera view.
*'''4:3 Standard''' - Causes the game to render the output with a narrower, "fullscreen", camera view.
*'''16:9 Widescreen''' - Causes the game to render the output with a wider camera view, allowing more of the playing field to be shown.
*'''16:9 Widescreen''' - Causes the game to render the output with a wider camera view, allowing more of the playing field to be shown.
A circle appears in the background on this menu to help the player see which screen size is more suited to their TV.

Changing the screen ratio does ''not'' change the Wii's output resolution, which remains at 640×480 (even on the default [[PAL]] setting of {{s|wikipedia|576i}} 50Hz), only the way the picture is rendered within that resolution. As a result, [[snapshots]] captured on a widescreen-set console will have their dimensions changed if decrypted and viewed on a PC unless resized.

This feature was added due to a significant amount of the population still using CRT television screens with a 4:3 aspect ratio during the launch of ''Brawl''. While widescreen had been available for decades by that point, compatible screens were much more expensive and had inferior picture quality until much more recently. CRT sets had also grown a reputation for having extremely low [[display lag]] compared to its modern contemporaries, becoming a preferred method of playing retro games developed with that type of hardware in mind.
A method to switch between 4:3 and 16:9 ratios did not return in {{Forwiiu}}, and instead, the selection between 4:3 and 16:9 is done by modifying the settings of the Wii U. Regardless, ''Smash 4'' itself does not support 4:3 ratio; if the Wii U is set to output at 4:3, the game will be [[wikipedia:Letterboxing_(filming)|letterboxed]] as to keep it at a 16:9 ratio. The [[Nintendo Switch]] has no way to adjust aspect ratios, meaning ''Ultimate'' can only be natively played at a 16:9 ratio.

==Trivia==
*While it cannot natively support widescreen, ''Melee'' can be hacked in order to force the game to display widescreen. The two most common ways to do this are via Action Replay codes or hacks available for the GameCube.
