| | '''Tips''' are short blurbs of information that appear in both versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. These tips appear in two different locations - their own specialized menu in the [[Vault]], or on the loading screens of the game. Some tips are shared between the two versions of ''Smash 4'', while others are not. A few contain incorrect information due to [[update|patches]] changing the game without updating any of the tips. |

| ===Fighters===
| |
| Fighter-based tips mainly provide information about characters' special moves.
| |
| *'''Bowser Jr.: Abandon Ship!''' – Bowser Jr. abandons his Junior Clown Car and performs a massive leap. After a short delay, the abandoned vehicle will self-destruct.
| |
| *'''Bowser Jr.: Clown Cannon''' – This move fires a cannonball from the Junior Clown Car. The longer this attack is charged, the faster and more powerful it will be.
| |
| *'''Bowser Jr.: Clown Kart Dash''' – The Junior Clown Car becomes a kart and charges forward. The higher the speed, the more damage it will deal.
| |
| *'''Bowser Jr.: Mechakoopa''' – The Junior Clown Car spits out a Mechakoopa, which explodes on contact with an enemy. It'll explode if you just leave it alone for a while, too.
| |
| *'''Bowser: Bowser Bomb''' – Bowser will leap into the air hornsfirst. Hitting an opponent on the way up makes it much easier to clobber them again on the way down.
| |
| *'''Bowser: Fire Breath''' – Fire Breath loses power the longer it is used. Waiting a short time between bursts will allow it to recharge.
| |
| *'''Bowser: Tough Guy''' – Bowser's a real tough guy. When he's only lightly damaged, weaker attacks won't make him flinch.
| |
| *'''Bowser: Whirling Fortress''' – Repeatedly pressing the button while using this in midair will give you a small boost in how high you fly.
| |
| *'''Captain Falcon: Falcon Dive''' – A leaping grab that sends the opponent flying with explosive force. If it connects, you're free to use the same attack again without landing.
| |
| *'''Captain Falcon: Falcon Punch''' – After pressing the attack button, quickly turn around to make Captain Falcon unleash an even more powerful attack as he turns.
| |
| *'''Captain Falcon: Front Air Attack''' – There's a violent knee jab at the start of this move. Connect with that for some serious launching power.
| |
| *'''Charizard: Flamethrower''' – Charizard will keep breathing fire as long as you hold the button down, but it'll get weaker and weaker as you use it.
| |
| *'''Charizard: Flare Blitz''' – This move engulfs Charizard in flames. It's extremely powerful, but it hurts Charizard too.
| |
| *'''Charizard: Flare Blitz''' – There's a big explosion when Charizard hits a fighter or an obstacle. This can hit other nearby fighters, too!
| |
| *'''Charizard: Rock Smash''' – The rock shards will fly in random directions. Get close to your target to maximize damage.
| |
| *'''Charizard: Rock Smash''' – Right before smashing a rock, Charizard gets super armor, meaning it won't even flinch if it's attacked!
| |
| *'''Charizard: Strong Up Attack''' – Charizard's wings won't take damage, making this good for overpowering foes striking from overhead.
| |
| *'''Dark Pit: Electroshock Arm''' – Dark Pit charges forward and launches foes upward at a lower angle than Pit's Upperdash Arm. This move also deals electrical damage.
| |
| *'''Dark Pit: Silver Bow''' – This move fires an arrow from Dark Pit's bow, either to the side or upward. Its shots are more powerful than Pit's Palutena Bow, but they curve less.
| |
| *'''Diddy Kong: Banana Peel''' – You can't whip out another Banana Peel if one of yours is still in play, but each one will vanish after being thrown twice.
| |
| *'''Diddy Kong: Banana Peel''' – In this move, Diddy throws a banana peel behind him. Foes who step on it fall clumsily to the ground. Have a nice trip!
| |
| *'''Diddy Kong: Monkey Flip''' – If you grab someone in the air, you'll release them more quickly than if you grab them on the ground. Be ready to use a speedy follow-up attack.
| |
| *'''Diddy Kong: Monkey Flip''' – While performing this move, you can press the attack button to launch a flying kick that deals considerable damage and has good launching power.
| |
| *'''Diddy Kong: Monkey Flip''' – After grabbing on to an opponent with this move, press the attack button to launch them sideways or press up to jump off their head!
| |
| *'''Diddy Kong: Peanut Popgun''' – Overcharging the Peanut Popgun makes it backfire, but it'll do a ton of damage to foes that it hits!
| |
| *'''Diddy Kong: Peanut Popgun''' – While charging, watch for when Diddy grabs his hat! That's the sign that the Peanut Popgun's about to backfire.
| |
| *'''Diddy Kong: Rocketbarrel Boost''' – If someone attacks Diddy Kong when he's wearing his Rocketbarrel Pack, it'll break free and fly off on its own.
| |
| *'''Diddy Kong: Rocketbarrel Pack''' – You can indicate a direction while this is charging to fly in that direction. You can even steer while flying!
| |
| *'''Donkey Kong: Forward Throw''' – Donkey Kong can pick up opponents and carry them around! Try to throw them before they shake free, though.
| |
| *'''Donkey Kong: Hand Slap''' – DK's Hand Slap affects a large area around him. However, it won't hit airborne fighters.
| |
| *'''Donkey Kong: Headbutt''' – Use this move to bury your opponents if they're on the ground or meteor-smash them in midair.
| |
| *'''Donkey Kong: Spinning Kong''' – This move doesn't offer a lot of lift, but it can carry Donkey Kong a fair distance left or right.
| |

| |
| *'''Duck Hunt: Duck Jump''' – The duck grabs the dog and carries him through the air. Once started, this move can't be stopped.
| |
| *'''Duck Hunt: Trick Shot''' – This move kicks an exploding can toward your enemies. Keep pressing the button to fire shots and lead it toward its target.
| |
| *'''Falco: Blaster''' – Unlike Fox's blaster, Falco's blaster can make opponents flinch. It fires faster when airborne.
| |
| *'''Falco: Falco Phantasm''' – Falco Phantasm can send an airborne enemy straight down—use it to dunk them into the abyss!
| |
| *'''Falco: Reflector''' – Falco kicks his Reflector forward, making it possible to both reflect projectiles and hit foes at the same time!
| |
| *'''Fox: Blaster''' – The blaster fires quickly, and its shots go a long way, but enemies won't flinch when they're hit, so use this at a safe distance.
| |
| *'''Fox: Fox Illusion''' – When you use this move on the ground, Fox will always stop if he reaches an edge. When used in the air, you need to be a little more careful.
| |
| *'''Fox: Reflector''' – This move can reflect projectiles, and it also damages nearby opponents when activated.
| |
| *'''Ganondorf: Flame Choke''' – After being grabbed by this move, it's possible to recover just before being slammed to the ground.
| |
| *'''Ganondorf: Strong Down Attack''' – A crouching kick that sends opponents flying upward. It has good reach and is one of Ganondorf's faster attacks.
| |
| *'''Ganondorf: Warlock Punch''' – After pressing the attack button, quickly turn around to make Ganondorf unleash an even more powerful attack as he turns.
| |
| *'''Ganondorf: Wizard's Foot''' – Used on the ground, this move is a horizontal flying kick. In the air, it goes downward instead and has a meteor effect at the very start.
| |
| *'''Greninja: Hydro Pump''' – Aim the water jets by pressing in a particular direction. You can then quickly press a different direction to go that way with the second burst.
| |
| *'''Greninja: Hydro Pump''' – The water flow doesn't just cause damage—it can also push your foes if you hit them just right.
| |
| *'''Greninja: Substitute''' – This move makes an enemy attack hit a substitute instead of you. You then reappear somewhere else and attack!
| |
| *'''Ike: Aether''' – Ike will be protected from flinching while he prepares this attack. This move can send foes flying upward!
| |
| *'''Ike: Aether''' – During the downward strike, this attack has a meteor effect. You'll fall straight down until you hit solid ground, so make sure you aim well!
| |
| *'''Ike: Eruption''' – A downward stab that summons raging flames around you. Gets stronger the longer you charge it, and the tip of the blade has a meteor effect.
| |
| *'''Ike: Standard Attack''' – There are three levels of attack: a punch, a kick, and a sword swing. All pretty handy, since they're quicker than Ike's other moves!
| |
| *'''Jigglypuff: Pound''' – A simple punch that travels horizontally. You can use it repeatedly in midair—combine it with jumps to stay aloft for a very long time.
| |
| *'''Jigglypuff: Rest''' – Opponents launched by Rest will get a flower on their heads. Talk about insult to injury.
| |
| *'''Jigglypuff: Rest''' – This move is hard to hit with but can really send opponents flying! You'll need to get very close or use it right when your opponent tries to attack.
| |
| *'''Jigglypuff: Shield''' – If Jigglypuff's shield is shattered, it'll get launched and KO'd no matter its damage.
| |
| *'''Jigglypuff: Sing''' – Enemies on the ground who hear this song will fall asleep. The more damage they have, the longer they'll nap.
| |
| *'''King Dedede: Gordo Throw''' – Choose up, middle, or down right after starting this move to hit the Gordo in three different ways, changing how it bounces.
| |
| *'''King Dedede: Inhale''' – Dedede is already perfect, so his inhale won't copy abilities. Instead, it has a longer range than Kirby's.
| |
| *'''King Dedede: Inhale''' – After inhaling an opponent, press the button again to spit them out as a projectile. This way, you can hit your opponents with each other!
| |
| *'''King Dedede: Jet Hammer''' – It's possible to charge this move to deal more damage, but charging for too long will start to hurt Dedede too!
| |
| *'''King Dedede: Strong Down Attack''' – He can attack while prone by cartwheeling forward. This lets him attack while moving, like a dash attack.
| |
| *'''King Dedede: Super Dedede Jump''' – After leaping up high, Dedede crashes down to attack. This move can be canceled partway through by pressing up.
| |
| *'''Kirby: Final Cutter''' – Kirby slices up into the air and then slices straight down again. The shock wave that appears when you land can also damage your opponents.
| |
| *'''Kirby: Hammer''' – If fully charged, this move becomes very powerful, but Kirby will begin to take damage at full charge.
| |
| *'''Kirby: Inhale''' – If you press the attack button after sucking an enemy in, you'll spit them back out. Use enemies to attack other enemies!
| |
| *'''Kirby: Inhale''' – In addition to enemies, Kirby can inhale some items. You'll recover a little damage this way, but sucking in explosives will hurt!
| |
| *'''Kirby: Jump''' – Kirby's light body lets him jump five times—more than most other fighters. If Kirby gets launched but not cleared, you can almost bet he's coming back!
| |
| *'''Kirby: Stone''' – While falling, you can cancel the attack by entering the move a second time. It's a perfect way to trick other players!
| |
| *'''Kirby: Stone''' – Kirby's form is different each time he uses this, but the move's effect is the same.
| |
| *'''Kirby: Taunt''' – Taunt to discard your current copy ability. Find the most opportune moment to change your abilities!
| |
| *'''Link: Bomb''' – Your bombs are special ones—the explosion from hitting an enemy won't hurt you.
| |
| *'''Link: Dash Attack''' – Link's dash attack strikes with almost as much force as a smash attack. The point of his sword is especially painful.
| |
| *'''Link: Hero's Bow''' – The longer Link charges his bow, the farther the arrows will fly and the more powerful they'll be. At maximum charge, they'll fly perfectly straight.
| |
| *'''Link: Hylian Shield''' – Link's Hylian Shield can block projectiles, but it won't block anything while you're attacking.
| |
| *'''Link: Hylian Shield''' – Link's Hylian Shield blocks all projectiles, no matter how powerful. Link won't take any damage at all.
| |
| *'''Link: Side Smash Attack''' – Press the button again to attack a second time. The second attack has more launching power.
| |
| *'''Little Mac: Jolt Haymaker''' – You get a window of invincibility if you start this move on the ground, but not in the air, so be careful!
| |
| *'''Little Mac: KO Uppercut''' – Little Mac's Power Meter builds up when he deals or receives damage. Once it's full, he can use the KO Uppercut to deal some serious hurt!
| |
| *'''Little Mac: Rising Uppercut''' – Little Mac zooms upward with a powerful uppercut. It travels farther when used on the ground than when used in the air.
| |
| *'''Little Mac: Side Smash Attack''' – If you press up when performing Little Mac's side smash, it will change into an uppercut that sends enemies flying upward.
| |
| *'''Little Mac: Slip Counter''' – Just when you think you've got him, Little Mac socks you with a nasty counter. He's invincible during the attack, so there's no stopping him!
| |
| *'''Lucario: Aura''' – Lucario's launching potential is directly related to how much damage this Pokémon has taken. The power of Lucario's Aura radiates off its hands.
| |
| *'''Lucario: Aura Sphere''' – Other fighters can be damaged by the Aura Sphere as Lucario charges it. The size of the sphere is affected by Lucario's Aura.
| |
| *'''Lucario: Extreme Speed''' – This move will send Lucario flying in the direction you indicate. The more damage Lucario has taken, the farther it will fly.
| |
| *'''Lucario: Force Palm''' – Force Palm deals more damage and has a greater range if Lucario's Aura is stronger.
| |
| *'''Luigi: Down Taunt''' – If your foe's clinging to an edge for dear life, try using Luigi's down taunt. That meteor smash will be VERY satisfying!
| |
| *'''Luigi: Green Missile''' – This move can end with Luigi's head stuck in a wall. That leaves him vulnerable, so be careful!
| |
| *'''Luigi: Green Missile''' – This move has a 1-in-10 chance to hit REALLY hard and fly REALLY far. Too far, in some cases.
| |
| *'''Luigi: Green Missile''' – Charge this for too long, and he'll get worn out and give up. Let him catch his breath, and then try again.
| |
| *'''Mario: F.L.U.D.D.''' – A blast of water is an effective way to disrupt your opponents. It doesn't hurt, but it can slide them around.
| |
| *'''Mario: Front Air Attack''' – It's a slow attack, but Mario swings his fist down hard enough for a meteor smash as it begins.
| |
| *'''Mario: Up Smash Attack''' – A powerful upward headbutt. Mario's head is invulnerable while performing it. Useful against opponents moving in to attack from above.
| |
| *'''Marth: Counter''' – The counter depends on the attack it is countering. A countered smash attack may KO an opponent!
| |
| *'''Marth: Dancing Blade''' – Keep pressing the button to turn this into a four-hit combo. Holding different directions will change the angle of the strike!
| |
| *'''Marth: Dancing Blade''' – Marth's sword leaves a trail as he swings it, and the color reflects the attack's height. Blue is high, red is middle, and green is low.
| |
| *'''Marth: Dancing Blade''' – Press down on the fourth swing to finish your combo with a powerful blow to your opponent's feet!
| |
| *'''Marth: Dancing Blade''' – Press up on the fourth swing for a slice that will launch your foes. This swing is excellent for netting some KOs!
| |
| *'''Marth: Dancing Blade''' – Hold toward the foe you're attacking on the fourth swing for an attack that launches foes much farther than the up or down versions.
| |
| *'''Marth: Shield Breaker''' – This move leaves you wide open, but if you charge it to maximum, it can break an enemy's shield in a single hit.
| |
| *'''Mega Man: Crash Bomber''' – This bomb is incredibly clingy, latching on to walls, floors, and even fighters! It can be given to another fighter by bumping into them.
| |
| *'''Mega Man: Leaf Shield''' – Grab someone while the Leaf Shield's up, and you can do a combo attack: a throw plus the damage from the leaves.
| |
| *'''Mega Man: Metal Blade''' – If a Metal Blade gets stuck in a wall or floor, other fighters can pick it up and use it.
| |
| *'''Mega Man: Rush Coil''' – Summoning Rush into battle will help Mega Man reach even greater heights. Unfortunately, foes can use him as well!
| |
| *'''Mega Man: Side Smash Attack''' – Mega Man unleashes a powerful Charge Shot. The damage and distance increases the longer you charge it!

| |
| *'''Meta Knight: Dimensional Cape''' – Meta Knight wraps himself in his cape and disappears. Keep holding the button, and he'll strike when he's back!
| |
| *'''Meta Knight: Drill Rush''' – While Meta Knight's rushing through the air like a drill, you can adjust his direction.

| *'''Meta Knight: Mach Tornado''' – The tornado created around Meta Knight can destroy any weak projectiles it hits.
| |

| |
| *'''Meta Knight: Strong Side Attack''' – The third strike of Meta Knight's side strong attack is powerful enough to launch opponents.
| |
| *'''Mii Brawler: Burning Dropkick''' – This move combines a big forward leap with a dropkick. Also it's on fire. Charge it up for some serious power, distance, and speed.
| |
| *'''Mii Brawler: Exploding Side Kick''' – Input in the opposite direction right after pressing the button to turn around and deliver this kick the other way! It'll also deal more damage.

| |
| *'''Mii Brawler: Helicopter Kick''' – When performing this move, pressing left or right will let you change the direction of the kick.
| |
| *'''Mii Brawler: Onslaught''' – A flurry of kicks, followed by a powerful uppercut. This move hits the opponent quite some distance and might even KO them if it connects in midair!
| |
| *'''Mii Brawler: Piston Punch''' – This series of upward punches isn't so great for recovering. However, it's a powerful move to use against opponents.
| |
| *'''Mii Brawler: Shot Put''' – Throws a metal ball diagonally upward, just like the real shot-put event. It's effective at blocking opponents' attempts at recovery.
| |
| *'''Mii Brawler: Soaring Axe Kick''' – A leap up with a somersault kick, and then a swift heel-kick drop. If that falling kick connects, it delivers a powerful meteor effect.

| |
| *'''Mii Brawler: Up Smash''' – An upward-kicking backflip. Your legs are invulnerable while you perform it, so it's perfect for countering enemy attacks from above.

| |

| |
| *'''Mr. Game & Watch: Oil Panic''' – This will only absorb energy-style projectiles. It won't affect physical ones like Link's arrows.

| |
| *'''Olimar: Pikmin Order''' – Olimar's whistle calls back his scattered Pikmin. Even the ones that are goofing off.

| |
| *'''Olimar: Pikmin Pluck''' – You can have up to three Pikmin in tow at any time. Plucking for more while three are already active is, sadly, futile.
| |
| *'''Olimar: Pikmin Throw''' – Most Pikmin latch on to opponents and attack them repeatedly. Purple Pikmin, though, deal one heavy blow and then bounce off.
| |
| *'''Olimar: Pikmin Throw''' – The less damage an opponent has accumulated, the longer the Pikmin can hang on to it.
| |
| *'''Olimar: Pikmin's Stamina''' – When separated from Olimar, Pikmin are very vulnerable to enemy attacks.

| |
| *'''R.O.B.: Robo Burner''' – The Robo Burner's fuel slowly replenishes while R.O.B. is on the ground. Be careful if you find yourself in the air a lot—it won't refill there.
