''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' added the phrase "A new foe has appeared!," and also had a silhouette of the approaching challenger. The poses for the challengers were silhouettes of their renders when selected on the character select screen (some, however, like Luigi and Ganondorf's, were their renders from inside the boxes). The game also added animations to the screens, with an undulating matrix effect in the background, while the exclamation point, text and silhouette would be eased in. Original music was also provided solely for the screen, which took the sound of a slow, ominous siren.

''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' returned to the plain black background (there would be a silhouette of an unlockable character the player would face); but this would only occur if the [[Subspace Emissary]] method was not used. Also, ''Brawl'' removed the word "Warning" and the circle explanation point logo from the challenger approaching screen. It still had animations that would ease in, and when the player pressed any button, the images would fade to black, while the "Challenger Approaching!" text would scatter all over the screen; the siren is also considerably louder, faster and more panicky in its sound than how it sounds in ''Melee''.

''Super Smash Bros. 4'' reused ''Brawl''{{'}}s warning siren, but there are some differences in both versions. The 3DS version added in considerably more colors, including hues of green, black, and violet; the screen also says "A challenger approaches!" instead of its previous quotations. The Wii U version uses a font style similar to the ones in the newcomer trailers, and the background contains a picture of a supernova; the text is nonetheless reused from past games. The unlockable character in both versions of ''Super 4'' on the screen is still a silhouette that the player would face (just like in the previous three installments).

After the "Challenger Approaching!" screen, the unlockable character will then be fought in an ordinary one stock match with no time limit, on a [[Home stage|predetermined stage]] with predetermined music. The AI difficulty of the duel depends on the game, usually at low difficulty for the first fighter, then it gradually increases with every fighter unlocked, however, it is reversed in ''Melee'', and always high in the Wii U version of ''Smash 4''. The player uses the last character played as, including the last used [[alternate costume|costume]]. In the case of multiplayer battles, in the first three ''Smash'' games, the player who won the match will fight the challenger; if a CPU wins the match, the challenger will not appear. ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' changed this formula such that if a CPU wins the match, then the human-controlled player with the highest rank will battle the challenger.

By defeating the opponent, the character becomes playable. If the player fails, they will not unlock the character. In ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Smash 4'', if the Vs. match requirement is met, the unlockable character's encounter will reappear upon the next game played; if not, the other unlock requirement must be completed again. In ''Ultimate'', failed battles against unlockable characters are moved to a separate [[Challenger's Approach]] mode.
By defeating the opponent, the character becomes playable. If the player fails, however, they will not unlock the character, but in the next battle they win, they are guaranteed to meet with the challenger again.


The "Challenger Approaching!" screen has become somewhat of a meme in the ''Smash'' community. Many digitally manipulated versions of these screens have appeared, often featuring characters who do not appear in the games, mostly using artwork of the character from another game instead of original artwork (which gives away its falseness). The screens became so popular that they were featured as part of the [[DOJO!!]]; in earlier updates, whenever a new character was introduced, a banner that said "Warning! Challenger Approaching!" would appear above the entry.
