In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', each character had at least four costumes, one for each of the costume-changing C buttons. Some characters had an extra costume (or two) to accomodate for Team Battles if their four costumes lacked a red, blue, or green variation; these costumes cannot be selected outside of Team Battle since there are only four C buttons.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', each character has at least four [[alternate costume]]s, one for each of the {{Button|N64|C}} used to select them. Some characters have an extra costume (or two) to accommodate [[Team Battle]]s if their four selectable costumes lack a red, blue, or green variation; these particular colors cannot be selected outside of Team Battle. There are a total of 56 alternate costumes, with an average of four and two thirds (~4.67) costumes per fighter.


===[[Captain Falcon (SSB)|Captain Falcon]]===
The original [[Smabura-Ken|''Smash 64'' website]] in Japan listed what each specific color was inspired by from previous Nintendo games and media prior to the release of the original game, along with some additional names for specific colors.<ref name=64colors/> These have been translated below and are considered to be official names for each alternate color, although there do exist some inconsistencies between the source material of the costume and the official explanation.
[[Image:Alt-cfalcon.jpg|frame|center|400px|Captain Falcon's palette swaps in SSB]]
Captain Falcon is the only character to have six different playable color swaps, even though two of them (blue and green) can only be accessed during a Team Battle.
*'''Purple''' (default)
*'''Black:''' Resembles Captain Falcon in the Japanese commercial for ''F-Zero X''.
*'''Red:''' Based on the appearance of his rival, [[Blood Falcon]].
*'''White:''' The same colors as Jody Summers's outfit.
*'''Green*:''' The same colors as Pico's vehicle, the Wild Goose.
*'''Blue*:''' An alternate, brighter version of his standard colors.


===[[Donkey Kong (SSB)|Donkey Kong]]===
In [[Team Battle]]s, if two identical characters share the same color scheme, the second player will have a lighter tint in their appearance. A third player uses a darker tint, which technically means that each character has 4 more costumes for Team Battles. A fourth player would appear the exact same way as the first player, though it is not possible to have four players on the same team through regular gameplay.
[[Image:Alt-dk.jpg|frame|center|400px|Donkey Kong's palette swaps in SSB]]
*'''Brown''' (default)
*'''Black:''' Based on the appearance of an actual gorilla. It could also be based on Chunky Kong.
*'''Red:''' Possibly based on his sprite in the original ''Donkey Kong''.
*'''Blue'''
*'''Green*:''' The only Donkey Kong costume to date to change his face colour.


===[[Fox (SSB)|Fox]]===
Due to the dark lighting of the formerly tournament-legal [[Congo Jungle]], the [[Smash 64 Backroom]] recommended avoiding the use of certain grey or black costumes when the stage was in use. If such a costume was used on the stage, any players in the match [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FosN-vNSlYI&t=20s could reset the match] so that the offending player could select a different costume. In the lists below, these costumes are marked with a black "!" in the team column.

An icon used in notice templates. NOTE: Every claimed source needs a cross-reference link; claimed sources need to be plausible, not horrendously obscure; default costumes usually don't need descriptions since they are not alternate costumes.
The beginning of a battle between Ness with his four alternate costumes.

In Super Smash Bros., each character has at least four alternate costumes, one for each of the C used to select them. Some characters have an extra costume (or two) to accommodate Team Battles if their four selectable costumes lack a red, blue, or green variation; these particular colors cannot be selected outside of Team Battle. There are a total of 56 alternate costumes, with an average of four and two thirds (~4.67) costumes per fighter.

The original Smash 64 website in Japan listed what each specific color was inspired by from previous Nintendo games and media prior to the release of the original game, along with some additional names for specific colors.[1] These have been translated below and are considered to be official names for each alternate color, although there do exist some inconsistencies between the source material of the costume and the official explanation.

In Team Battles, if two identical characters share the same color scheme, the second player will have a lighter tint in their appearance. A third player uses a darker tint, which technically means that each character has 4 more costumes for Team Battles. A fourth player would appear the exact same way as the first player, though it is not possible to have four players on the same team through regular gameplay.

Due to the dark lighting of the formerly tournament-legal Congo Jungle, the Smash 64 Backroom recommended avoiding the use of certain grey or black costumes when the stage was in use. If such a costume was used on the stage, any players in the match could reset the match so that the offending player could select a different costume. In the lists below, these costumes are marked with a black "!" in the team column.
