Mario's On-Screen Appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

The On-Screen Appearance, also known as an intro or entrance, is a minor feature in both Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It was not present in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It includes a small animation unique for each character during the three second countdown before battle. It has no effect whatsoever on game play other than visually dramatic and comedic purposes.
