A '''starter character''' is a [[character]] who is already available for play immediately after turning the game on for the first time; the player does not have to unlock, challenge, or download that character in order for them to be selectable (as one must do to select [[unlockable character]]s and [[downloadable character]]s).

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, Luigi, Ness, Ganondorf, Marth, Toon Link, Lucario, and Sonic are the only unlockable characters to become a starter character in a later installment.
*Bowser is the only villain to be starter in all the games he has been in.
**This also counts Bowser Jr. between the 3DS and Wii U versions of ''Smash 4''.
**In {{forwiiu}}, Bowser Jr. is another villain making his debut and so far only appearance as a starter, if one considers both SSB4s as one game.
**Ness and Captain Falcon are the only ones to do so multiple times.
*[[Wario]] is the only character to have debuted as a starter to have been made unlockable in another.
**Sonic is the only third-party fighter to have this trait.
*Prior to ''SSB4'', there were no unlockable females.
*{{forwiiu}} is the only installment in the series where all of the [[original 12]] characters appear as starters.
*{{forwiiu}} marks the first time that all the ''Original 12'' appear as starters.
*''Smash 4'' is the only game to feature third-party characters as starter characters. In this case, they are Sonic, Mega Man and Pac-Man.
*The [[Sound]] menu in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' plays sound effects and voice clips from three randomly selected characters out of its starter characters, as well as {{SSBU|Ness}} and {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}} to test volume equalization options.
*''Ultimate'' is the only ''Smash'' game to have the same starter roster as a prior installment.
