All [[newcomer]]s and third-party characters, as well as a few [[veteran]]s, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' were officially announced with trailers. These trailers consist of original animation, done predominantly with CGI, as well as gameplay clips that demonstrate a character's moveset. Each trailer begins with the sound of a sword being unsheathed and an animation of a fiery [[Smash logo]] blazing toward the camera. At some point in each trailer, the relevant character strikes a pose on a splash screen alongside their name and an introductory catchphrase, pun, or statement (e.g., "{{SSB4|Palutena}} Alights!" or "{{SSB4|Roy}} Seals the Deal!"). | All [[newcomer]]s and third-party characters, as well as a few [[veteran]]s, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' were officially announced with trailers.

The trailer begins with | Villager's reveal was included as part of ''Super Smash Bros. 4''{{'}}s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvudMu-5kIU first trailer] at E3 2013. The trailer begins with the standard flaming cross pattern in the shape of the ''Smash'' logo, being its first appearance in a trailer. The scene cuts to a sunny day in an {{uv|Animal Crossing}} town, where [[Villager]] opens his mailbox to find a letter. Villager then hurriedly runs off while the animal citizens look on with surprise. [[Tom Nook]] catches wind of the [[Smash invitation|open envelope]], which depicts the [[Super Smash Bros. logo]] on the wax seal. The trailer then shows clips of [[Mario]], [[Link]], [[Samus]], [[Kirby]], [[Pit]], [[Fox]], [[Donkey Kong]], and [[Pikachu]] in their respective series' settings and logos before they appear in a misty abyss and jump into the top screen on a [[Nintendo 3DS]]. A series of gameplay clips follows, revealing [[Bowser]] and showcasing a multitude of new playable stages in the process ({{SSB4|Battlefield}}, [[Gerudo Valley]], [[Spirit Train]], [[Arena Ferox]], [[3D Land]], and [[Living Room]]). The next clip shows Mario leaping from a portion of the then-unknown [[Smash Run]] and back into the abyss from before, where his 3DS design sheds and flakes away to reveal his [[Wii U]] design and lands on another Battlefield alongside the other characters. More new stages ([[Skyloft]], [[Boxing Ring]], and [[Town and City]]) appear as the trailer shows gameplay from ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. After the gameplay showcase, Mario and Bowser both fight in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' version of the [[Boxing Ring]] (revealed prior to the announcement of {{SSB4|Little Mac}} as a playable fighter), whereupon Bowser knocks Mario into a corner of the ring. Before Mario can retaliate, Villager appears and catches him with a bug net to his surprise. Following a splash screen with the tagline "Villager Comes to Town!", the trailer shows several gameplay footage of Villager using various tools from the ''Animal Crossing'' series to fight. Stills of all known characters trail by before the trailer concludes with the combined ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' logo before splitting into the two games' logos. | ||

The scene then cuts to a canyon in the dead of night. [[Mario]], [[Link]], [[Kirby]], and [[Donkey Kong]] glance up at the silhouette of a humanoid with spiky hair, who gazes down at them from atop a cliff, backlit by the moon. A helmet forms around the figure's head as a series of lights illuminate its features such as the eyes and face. The figure, [[Mega Man]], leaps into the air and teleports out of the canyon. He reappears in an area similar to the stage intro screen from ''Mega Man 2'' and strikes a pose. The text, "Mega Man Joins the Battle!" appears. Several gameplay clips follow, which demonstrate Mega Man's animations, moveset, and unique [[KO]] explosion. This section also provides a brief look at the [[Wily Castle]] stage. The trailer then transitions back to the canyon. Mega Man, heavily damaged, accesses his Variable Weapon System and summons two Metal Blades, which he hurls at his assailants. A blade nearly hit Mario, but barely dodges as coins fly everywhere. The other blade is blocked by Link's shield. Additional gameplay footage follows, in which Mega Man utilizes numerous attacks based on powers he could obtain from fallen bosses in his home series. The trailer ends with Mega Man being ambushed by his opponents and using his down smash, Flame Blast, to create two pillars of fire and propel everyone else away. A brief clip of Mega Man fighting the [[Yellow Devil]] on Wily Castle serves as a stinger. | ||

Wii Fit Trainer's trailer, simply titled "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBoL1Ic9uWw Wii Fit Trainer Joins the Battle!]", opens on gameplay footage from ''Wii Fit''. The camera pans out to reveal that the footage is actually displayed on a television screen, with [[Mario]], [[Link]], and [[Kirby]] struggling to follow its instructions. When a white hand taps Mario on the shoulder, the three characters turn to discover [[Wii Fit Trainer]]. She abruptly strikes a yoga pose, which sends the trio soaring and knocks the television askew. The trailer then cuts to a number of clips in which Wii Fit Trainer uses multiple yoga poses to attack her foes, even using [[Wii Fit (Final Smash)|a barrage of them]] in her [[Final Smash]]. At the end of the trailer, she stretches and provides a thumbs-up to the camera. The Wii Balance Board bounces up and down behind her as the text, "Wii Fit Trainer Weighs In!" appears. | Wii Fit Trainer's trailer, simply titled "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBoL1Ic9uWw Wii Fit Trainer Joins the Battle!]", opens on gameplay footage from ''Wii Fit''.

He flies towards [[Rainbow Road]], where a race is underway. [[Mario]] and [[Donkey Kong]], the leaders in the race, attempt to overtake each other with [[Luigi]], [[Peach]] and [[Bowser]] not far behind. Before they reach the finish line, Kirby whizzes by and causes the two leaders to spin out. Kirby crosses the finish line and flies back into space. The camera cuts to a distant Launch Star, which propels a glowing, cyan orb toward Kirby. When it speeds past him, he loses control of his Warp Star, crashes into Rainbow Road, and comes to a skidding halt. A second ball of light splits off from the first and drifts toward the track, where it reveals itself as a {{b|Luma|species}}. The Luma pokes Kirby, who sits up and looks around in confusion. The racers arrive before the two can exchange a high five. Donkey Kong pokes Kirby out of curiosity. The cyan light returns and illuminates the group. This causes the Luma to excitedly squeak, bounce toward the light's source, hop upward, and land in the arms of [[Rosalina]]. The following splash art reads, "Rosalina & Luma Launch Into Battle!" A selection of gameplay footage follows, in which Rosalina uses Luma to supplement her attacks and block damage. The trailer ends with a brief clip of Kirby and Luma dancing and finally exchanging a high five while everyone else happily looks on. | ||

Little Mac's trailer, titled "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmtrmAvL5aw Champion of the Ring]" ({{ja|リングの王者|Ringu no Ōja}}, ''Champion of the Ring''), begins in a gym. A figure in a pink hoodie performs various training exercises while a [[Doc Louis|coach]] shouts advice and encouragement. The training montage ends with the figure delivering an uppercut to [[Sandbag]] and knocking it through a window. The figure sheds his hoodie and strikes a pose, his identity revealed as [[Little Mac]]. The corresponding splash art quips, "Little Mac Punches In!" The background transitions to {{SSB4|Battlefield}}. [[Samus]] stares down at Little Mac, seemingly unimpressed by his height. (This is a reference to [https://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/items/assist/assist10.html Little Mac's Assist Trophy profile] from the {{SSBB|Smash Bros. DOJO!!}} website.) Samus compares their heights by running a hand between the tops of their heads, lightly tapping Little Mac's in the process.

The background transitions to {{SSB4|Battlefield}}. [[Samus]] stares down at Little Mac, still holding his pose, seemingly unimpressed by his height. (This is a reference to [https://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/items/assist/assist10.html Little Mac's Assist Trophy profile] from the {{SSBB|Smash Bros. DOJO!!}} website.) Samus mockingly compares their heights by running a hand between the tops of their heads, lightly tapping Little Mac's in the process. This enrages Little Mac, as [[Power Meter]] appears at the bottom of the screen, rapidly filling up to maximum as his face reddens. He hits Samus with a [[KO Uppercut]] that sends her flying. The trailer shifts to in-game footage, which illustrates Mac's powerful attacks, quick ground speed, and poor air mobility. Doc Louis shouts advice throughout. Little Mac briefly [[Final Smash|transforms]] into the colossal [[Giga Mac]] before throwing another KO Uppercut that defeats [[Mega Man]] and [[Bowser]] on the [[Boxing Ring]]. A short stinger shows Little Mac and Doc Louis enjoying some chocolate bars as Samus rolls past them in her Morph Ball form. | ||

Greninja's trailer, titled "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEJBPMcbRkk Challenger From the Shadows]" ({{ja|忍ぶもの|Shinobumono}}, ''The Stealthy One''), opens with a series of [[Poké Ball]]s soaring through the sky. They land at the foot of a cliff and release multiple Pokémon from ''Smash 4''. The camera pans up to reveal [[Pikachu]] at the top of the cliff, with [[Charizard]] immediately behind it. Charizard's caption proclaims, "Charizard Fires It Up!" This is the only instance of a base-game veteran whose splash art differs from their in-game render. Charizard launches itself into the sky before slamming down in front of Mario. The plumber narrowly avoids the attack and lands in front of [[Link]] holding his [[Gale Boomerang]], [[Samus]], [[Kirby]] wielding the [[Star Rod]], and [[Olimar]] accompanied by a red {{b|Pikmin|species}}. Elsewhere, a silhouetted figure readies [[Water Shuriken|an attack]]. Mario rushes toward Charizard while the other fighters hurl projectiles at it. Charizard evades the projectiles with ease. The silhouette continues to charge its watery, four-pointed attack. Mario and Charizard leap toward each other, but the attack intercepts them before they can exchange blows. The two fighters look toward the attack's source and see the figure hanging from a tree branch, upside down. It flips itself upright and reveals itself as [[Greninja]]. The following splash art reads, "Greninja Makes a Splash!" Greninja uses [[Hydro Pump]] to blast itself out of the shot, at which point the trailer transitions into gameplay footage. This footage shows both Greininja and Charizard in action, as well as [[Mega Charizard X|Charizard]]'s and [[Mega Lucario|Lucario]]'s new [[Final Smash]]es. It concludes with Greninja using [[Secret Ninja Attack|its own Final Smash]] on Mario. | Greninja's trailer, titled "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEJBPMcbRkk Challenger From the Shadows]" ({{ja|忍ぶもの|Shinobumono}}, ''The Stealthy One''), opens in supposedly the same canyon seen in the Mega Man trailer with a series of [[Poké Ball]]s soaring through the sky.

Mii Fighter's [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1K-WqQYw7w trailer] begins with [[Satoru Iwata]] and [[Reggie Fils-Aimé]] in a black background. The pair stare each other down before Reggie lunges at Iwata, who swiftly kicks him away; before they begin exchanging rapid jabs, Iwata "absorbs" energy while striking a pose similar to a double hand chop, which is the pose made by presenters in [[Nintendo Direct]] when saying "direct." Following this, an over-the-top fistfight commences, culminating in Iwata pulling out a [[Wii U GamePad]] while Fils-Aimé does the same with a [[Classic Controller|Classic Controller Pro]] and proceed to play [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]], using [[Mii]]s of themselves to continue their conflict; while Reggie's Mii [[Mii Brawler (SSB4)|is only equipped with a pair of gloves]], Iwata's [[Mii Swordfighter (SSB4)|is armed with a longsword]]. The pair continue their duel, going from {{SSB4|Battlefield}}'s [[Ω Form]] to [[Palutena's Temple]], as both men trade glances as the bout progresses; ultimately, Reggie ends up triumphant while Iwata shoots him a look before pulling out an amiibo of [[Mario]] and placing it on the GamePad. The resulting in-game Mario exacts revenge on Reggie, handling every move his Mii self throws with ease before launching a [[Forward smash]] that sends the real Reggie flying. As Iwata's Mii celebrates alongside the amiibo Mario, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] himself arrives and explains the history behind getting Miis ready for Super Smash Bros.; after he explains it didn't feel right during the lifetime of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' to have Miis as playable fighters, he delivers some new video gameplay which shows off a number of Miis fighting official Nintendo characters. The Miis, he adds on, are grouped into three classes: {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}s who fight using hand-to-hand combat, {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}s who use swords and other bladed tools to do battle, and {{SSB4|Mii Gunner}}s who come equipped with arm cannons and a variety of projectiles. In addition, Mii Fighters are special in that their [[special move]]s, rather than be modified versions of their standard specials, have all-new options to use for all four special move types. To demonstrate some of the possibilities of the Mii Fighters, Mii versions of actual character suggestions posted by Miiverse users, with captions such as "[[Wikipedia:Abraham Lincoln|Lincoln]] gets sworn in!," "{{s|wikipedia|Elijah Wood}} like to battle!," and "{{s|wikipedia|Ice-T}} pours it on!" (with the lattermost being replaced in the Japanese broadcast with Japanese comedian [[wikipedia:ja:有野晋哉|Shinya Arino]]). During this, Sakurai explains the reasoning behind adding Miis, stating that he gets countless amounts of requests and ideas for characters to join the roster, and concludes by saying that by using Miis, players can put their dream character into the roster.
