A starter character is a character who is already available for play immediately after turning the game on for the first time; the player does not have to unlock, challenge, or download that character in order for them to be selectable (as one must do to select unlockable characters and downloadable characters).

List of starter characters[edit]

The following characters appear as starter characters:

Super Smash Bros.[edit]

Super Smash Bros. 64 starters.

Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

Super Smash Bros. Melee starters.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl starters.

Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS starters.

Bowser Jr., Ganondorf, Jigglypuff, and Ness are starters in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, but are unlockable in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate starters.

The starting roster is comprised of the characters in the Original 8 from the original Super Smash Bros.
