'''Team Battle''' is a [[Versus Mode]] setting present in all games of the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros. |series}}'' series. As the name suggests, players (whether human or CPU) fight alongside others on their team, against the opposing team(s). Team Battle can be toggled on and off in the upper left-hand corner of the [[character selection screen]] by selecting the word "Free-for-all" in ''Smash 64'', or the word "Melee"/"Brawl"/"Smash" in subsequent games. | '''Team Battle''' is a [[Versus Mode]] setting present in all games of the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros. |series}}'' series.

A team battle can contain red, blue, and green teams. Prior to ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', characters are required to use [[alternate costume]]s matching their team color; if two or more players are using the same character on the same team, they will be differentiated by a lighter, darker or more darker tint. In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', a character's allegiance is instead indicated by a colored outline, thus enabling the player to use any color costume of their choice for their character.

This also affects their blast [[KO]]'s explosion color. This was fixed in ''Ultimate''. | ||
