All consoles are required to have all characters and all relevant, legal [[stage]]s unlocked and available for use, whether from save data or by using cheat devices. Available content not required for gameplay do not need to be present, but some are recommended for presentational purposes and being required for specific [[side events]].

While all the games can be [[hack]]ed or [[mod]]ded to some degree, any hacks that modify the gameplay of the base game are not allowed, as they can create discrepancies in how players play the games. Although a number of gameplay hacks may be considered beneficial, such as those that remove [[tripping]] in ''Brawl'', the logistics issues that arise from necessitating all setups to use the same hacks makes such tournaments infeasible to run. Exceptions are made for tournaments based around gameplay mods, such as ''Project M''. Mods that only modify the appearance or music of the game are considered acceptable, provided such modifications are not considered distracting to players, such as by playing loud, distracting music or by radically changing the appearance of characters or stages.
While all entries in the series can be [[hack]]ed or [[mod]]ded to some degree, any hacks that modify the gameplay of the base game are not allowed without express permission, as they can create discrepancies in how players play the games. Some [[tournament organizer]]s require that every setup has certain mods installed and will inspect each one for said mods. Other TOs put a blanket ban on all mods, as the logistics issues that arise from necessitating all setups to use the same hacks makes such tournaments infeasible to run. Some tournaments are based entirely around certain gameplay mods, such as ''Project M''. Mods that only modify the appearance or music of the game are occasionally considered acceptable, provided such modifications are not considered distracting to players, such as by playing loud, distracting music or by radically changing the appearance of characters or stages.

No specific requirements beyond a television and a console are required for setups involving ''Brawl'' and its gameplay mods.

Tournaments for ''Brawl'' and its gameplay mods, such as ''Project M'', strictly use the Wii over the Wii U, owing to the presence of controller ports for Nintendo GameCube controllers that a majority of players use; furthermore, the adapter which is used on Wii U for GameCube controllers is not compatible with the Wii U's Wii Mode.

The only "setups" required for a tournament specifally featuring the 3DS version is a [[Nintendo 3DS]] per entrant. This makes 3DS tournaments the most flexible in the series.

All [[Downloadable_content (SSB4)#Characters|DLC characters]] must be present on setups for anybody who wants to play as them. While having all [[Downloadable_content (SSB4)#Stages|DLC stages]] is recommended, [[Dream_Land_(SSB)#Super_Smash_Bros._4|Dream Land]] must be made available since it is a [[counterpick]] stage in the current ruleset.
As each player uses their own 3DS to play, they are not required to have any DLC characters or stages present. However, each 3DS system must have downloaded the latest update.
 
When the [[Official Custom Moveset Project]] was still active, setups were required to have all custom moves unlocked, as well as have all legal movesets from the project on their 3DS In some tournaments, [[Mii]] fighters are still required to have their custom moves made available to anybody who wants them, but usually only default [[special moves]] are allowed.

All ''Ultimate'' tournaments only allow games to be played on a [[Nintendo Switch]] in docked mode, as playing on handheld mode through local multiplayer can cause complications in logistics. A Nintendo GameCube adapter is once again required for those that wish to use the controller, though the use of said controller is significantly less common than in previous games.

All [[Downloadable_content (SSBU)#Characters|DLC characters]] must be present on setups for anybody who wants to play as them. While having all [[Downloadable_content (SSBU)#Stages|DLC stages]] is recommended, [[Northern Cave]] and [[Hollow Bastion]] required to be made available as they are [[counterpick]] stages in the current ruleset.
All [[Downloadable_content (SSBU)#Characters|DLC characters]] must be present on setups for anybody who wants to play as them. As all purchasable DLC stages are sold alongside DLC characters as a package, buying all characters makes the stages available too.


[[Mii]] fighters are still required to have their custom moves be made available to anybody who wants them. Some tournaments require the Mii fighter's name to contain the numbers given to the special moves being used to not surprise opponents during the game.
