In ''SSB4'', due to the increased amount of possible players with introduction of [[8-Player Smash]], players can choose from four different teams. Teams are indicated by a red, green, blue, or yellow outline around the character, so players can choose whichever alternate costumes they like in Team Battles. | In ''SSB4'', due to the increased amount of possible players with introduction of [[8-Player Smash]], players can choose from four different teams.

The average number of alternate costumes per character is roughly 4.7 in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Melee]]'', 6 | ==Costume Appearances== | ||
The appearance of alternate costumes varies from a simple change in hue (e.g. [[Yoshi]], [[Mr. Game & Watch]]) to the incorporation of patterns, pictures and text ([[Captain Falcon]], [[Ness]], [[R.O.B.]], [[Snake]], [[Lucina]]), and even the addition of accessories ([[Pikachu]], [[Pichu]], [[Jigglypuff]], [[Sonic]], [[Pac-Man]]). Some costumes sport changes to their character model, such as changes of clothing ([[Wario]], [[Zero Suit Samus]], [[Little Mac]], [[Shulk]]), different appearances ([[Cloud]], [[Bayonetta]]), opposite genders ([[Villager]], [[Wii Fit Trainer]], [[Robin]], [[Corrin]], [[Mii Fighter]]s), and even different characters ([[Olimar]] and [[Alph]], [[Bowser Jr.]] and the [[Koopalings]]). Some costumes derive from characters' earlier or alternate renderings, such as Mario's "Jumpman" blue. Some costumes reference other characters who appear in other Nintendo games, such as [[Peach]]'s "Daisy" alternate costume and [[Jigglypuff]] wearing Sleep Kirby's nightcap in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4''. A small number of costumes reference other costumes within in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' universe, such as ''Melee'' Jigglypuff's blue bow from the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', Pikachu's goggles previously worn by [[Pichu]] in ''Melee'', and R.O.B.'s "[[R.O.B. Launcher]]" green. Other costumes may be created primarily for Team Battles or for fun and variety. | |||
Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Robin, Corrin, and the Mii Fighters have male and female variants. One of Little Mac's alternate costumes is him wearing the pink hoodie from the training montages in the ''Punch-Out!!'' series. In addition, each of his alternate costumes has a wireframe variant inspired by his appearance in the arcade version of ''Punch-Out!!'', giving him 16 total alternate costumes. Zero Suit Samus has two alternate costumes based on the crop top and shorts worn in the endings of ''Metroid: Zero Mission'' and ''Metroid Fusion''. Shulk has an alternate costume based on his swimsuit armor set from ''Xenoblade Chronicles''. Cloud has four alternate costumes based on his appearance in ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'', with him wielding the Fusion Swords instead of the Buster Sword; two of these cover his Geostigma-infected left arm with a sleeve, and the other two reveal his left arm sans sleeve with Aerith Gainsborough's ribbon wrapped around it. Bayonetta has four costumes based on her appearance in ''Bayonetta 2'', and another four based on her appearance in the original ''Bayonetta'' with her wielding Scarborough Fair. Olimar and Bowser Jr. have alternate costumes that change the character entirely: four of Olimar's costumes replace him with Alph, while all seven of Bowser Jr.'s replace him with the Koopalings, all who ride mass-produced Junior Clown Cars. While they have their own unique announcer sounds, crowd chants, and voices, they play identically to their defaults. | |||

*In ''Melee'', each Captain Falcon's costumes slightly change his character model's width, minutely affecting when he collides with stage elements.<ref>http://smashboards.com/threads/difference-in-colors.223965/page-2#post-7249732</ref> | |||
*In ''SSB4'', [[Dr. Mario]], [[Dark Pit]], and Lucina were originally intended to be alternate costumes for Mario, [[Pit]], and [[Marth]], respectively. However, they were separated into different characters once they were given differentiating gameplay characteristics.<ref>http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/07/09/i-answer-some-questions-sakurai-famitsu-column-vol-461-464/</ref> | |||
*In ''SSB4'', Alph was intended to be a clone of Olimar, complete with the ability to pluck and command Rock Pikmin. In the final game, however, Alph became an model swap for Olimar.<ref>http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/07/29/plucky-little-guys-olimar-and-alph-in-smash-4/</ref> | |||
