Line 1: Line 1:
''Brawl'' changed the idea with Color Changes just a bit. While ''Melee'' added a few extra outfits to some characters, ''Brawl'' promises six colors each. However, all the playable characters of the [[Pokémon universe]]: Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pokémon Trainer, Lucario; and Sonic lack six. The other exception is that Wario has two outfits each with multiple color choices, that effectively doubles his alternate costume choices. These are changed by clicking on the character or using X/Y with a Gamecube controller.

{{notice|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; returning costumes original to ''Smash'' do not need references to their appearances in previous ''Smash'' games.}}
[[File:Alternate costume.jpg|thumb|350px|A battle between four {{SSBB|Mario}}s, each one in different colors. [[Masahiro Sakurai]] referred to the implementation of costumes as "one of the joys of ''Smash''".]]
[[File:Peach--article image1.jpg|thumb|350px|Four of [[Peach]]'s alternate costumes. Note that one resembles [[Daisy]].]]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', players can pick different alternate costumes for their character by cycling through a list of up to six choices for a total of 222 costumes in the game. The buttons used to cycle are [[1 button|1]]/[[2 button|2]] for the Wii Remote and Nunchuk combination, A and B for the Wii remote alone configuration, and pressing [[X button|X]]/[[Y button|Y]] for the [[Classic Controller]] and [[GameCube controller]].


===[[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser]]===
Most characters have six alternate costumes, though {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSBB|Lucario}}, {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}, and {{SSBB|Sonic}} only have five, and {{SSBB|Pikachu}} has only four. {{SSBB|Wario}} has twelve costumes; two different outfits with six costumes each, doubling his options and giving him two different outfits for each team in [[Team Battle]]s. Lucario, Pokémon Trainer, and Sonic have sets of alternate costumes that can be difficult to distinguish from each other in a match. As such, tournaments have the "colorblind rule" in doubles matches, where a player (colorblind or not) can choose which colours their team and their opponents' team are, if either team has one of the aforementioned characters on their team. While [[File replacement|texture hack]]s are usually discouraged from being used in tournaments, if not flat-out disallowed, it is usually acceptable to use simple texture hacks on these characters to make the color difference between their team palettes more obvious.
[[Image:Alt-bowser2.jpg|frame|center|Bowser's alternate costumes in SSBB]]
*'''Green:''' (default)
*'''Black:''' In ''Melee,'' black Bowser was the one to transform into [[Giga Bowser]] if the player met the requirements.
*'''Red:''' Resembles a Red Koopa Troopa or a Spiny.
*'''Blue:''' Resembles Bowser's appearance on the international covers of ''Super Mario Bros''. This can be seen on the sticker of Super Mario Bros.
*'''White:''' This costume turns Bowser's hair red and his shell, skin, and spiked collars to white, somewhat resembling Dry Bowser from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Mario Kart Wii''. It is also resembles Morton Koopa Jr.'s white and gold shell and darker skin.
*'''Brown:''' Resembles Boom Boom from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.


===[[Captain Falcon (SSBB)|Captain Falcon]]===
When selecting characters in [[tournament mode]], instead of displaying the character's colored image of the chosen costume, a colored bar is displayed in the player list. This color is usually an intuitive indicator of which costume has been chosen, but there are several cases where costumes are given strange colors, such as giving cyan to Ike's default blue-brown getup, or using orange or yellow when the opposite is clearly more correct.
[[Image:Alt-cfalcon3.jpg|frame|center|Captain Falcon's alternate costumes in SSBB]]
*'''Purple''' (default)
*'''Black:''' Falcon's costume from the ''F-Zero X'' Expansion set, as well as the ''F-Zero X'' commercial in Japan.
*'''Red:''' Nearly identical to his rival Blood Falcon's outfit, even the writing on his back changes to say "Blood Hawk" with a Skull design around the lettering.
*'''Green:''' Resembles Pico's outfit.
*'''Blue:''' May be a reference to his original F-Zero appearances (his costume in the F-Zero games is more vibrant than his Super Smash Bros. outfits).
*'''White:''' Resembles Jody Summers's outfit.


===[[Diddy Kong (SSBB)|Diddy Kong]]===
In Wi-Fi, Tournament and Team Brawls, if two identical characters share the same alternate costume, the second character will have a lighter tint in their appearance. A third character on the same team uses a darker tint. The fourth character's tint is even darker than the third character's. It is generally quite difficult to distinguish from the third character's color scheme.
[[Image:Alt-diddy.jpg|frame|center|Diddy Kong's alternate costumes in SSBB]]
*'''Red''' (default)
*'''Yellow:''' Resembles the alternate outfit when the second player also played as Diddy Kong in the original ''Donkey Kong Country'' series.
*'''Pink:''' Resembles the outfit worn by fellow DK character [[Dixie Kong]] in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie's Double Trouble''. Diddy also gains Dixie's light yellow fur color.
*'''Purple''' Resembled the alternate costume worn by Diddy when the second player used him in Donkey Kong Country 2.
*'''Green''' Resembles the outfit worn by fellow Kong Chunky Kong in '''Donkey Kong 64'''.
*'''Blue:''' Resembles the outfit worn by fellow DK character Lanky Kong in ''Donkey Kong 64''.

[[Image:Alt-dk3.jpg|frame|center|Donkey Kong's alternate costumes in SSBB]]
All of Donkey Kong's color changes can be traced back to the multiplayer mode of ''Donkey Kong 64''. DK had several alternate costumes that looked similar to the ones in ''Brawl''.
*'''Brown:''' (default)
*'''Black:''' A possible reference to Chunky Kong.
*'''Red:''' May represent the original Donkey Kong from the arcade game with the same name who had reddish orange fur.
*'''Blue:''' One of the alternate colours in Donkey Kong 64.
*'''Green:''' One of the alternate colours in Donkey Kong 64.
*'''White:''' Makes DK look like a yeti, perhaps the character Eddie the Mean Old Yeti from the ''Donkey Kong Country'' TV series. It also looks like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floquet_de_Neu Snowflake], the only albino gorilla known to this day.

==Glitch==
There is [[Same color glitch|a glitch]] in ''Brawl'' that allows multiple players to be the same character with the same color scheme, without the shading seen in Team Battles.
 
This glitch can also occur when every player selects random, and multiple players end up playing as the same character.
 
==Trivia==
*Captain Falcon's red outfit actually has one file for each available PAL language in the game (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian). While presumably done so localizers could edit the "Blood Hawk" on the back to match the current language, this appears to have been skipped or glossed over, as there is no difference between the files.
*Mr. Game & Watch only has one file for his model and textures. This indicates that the color variations come from tinting or blending the textures, instead of pre-rendered bitmaps.
*Luigi has an [[Beta elements (SSBB)|unused blue costume]] in the game's data; this costume is slightly lighter in color than the used one, and the reason for its removal is unknown.

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; returning costumes original to Smash do not need references to their appearances in previous Smash games.
A battle between four Marios, each one in different colors. Masahiro Sakurai referred to the implementation of costumes as "one of the joys of Smash".
Four of Peach's alternate costumes. Note that one resembles Daisy.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, players can pick different alternate costumes for their character by cycling through a list of up to six choices for a total of 222 costumes in the game. The buttons used to cycle are 1/2 for the Wii Remote and Nunchuk combination, A and B for the Wii remote alone configuration, and pressing X/Y for the Classic Controller and GameCube controller.

Most characters have six alternate costumes, though Jigglypuff, Lucario, Pokémon Trainer, and Sonic only have five, and Pikachu has only four. Wario has twelve costumes; two different outfits with six costumes each, doubling his options and giving him two different outfits for each team in Team Battles. Lucario, Pokémon Trainer, and Sonic have sets of alternate costumes that can be difficult to distinguish from each other in a match. As such, tournaments have the "colorblind rule" in doubles matches, where a player (colorblind or not) can choose which colours their team and their opponents' team are, if either team has one of the aforementioned characters on their team. While texture hacks are usually discouraged from being used in tournaments, if not flat-out disallowed, it is usually acceptable to use simple texture hacks on these characters to make the color difference between their team palettes more obvious.

When selecting characters in tournament mode, instead of displaying the character's colored image of the chosen costume, a colored bar is displayed in the player list. This color is usually an intuitive indicator of which costume has been chosen, but there are several cases where costumes are given strange colors, such as giving cyan to Ike's default blue-brown getup, or using orange or yellow when the opposite is clearly more correct.

In Wi-Fi, Tournament and Team Brawls, if two identical characters share the same alternate costume, the second character will have a lighter tint in their appearance. A third character on the same team uses a darker tint. The fourth character's tint is even darker than the third character's. It is generally quite difficult to distinguish from the third character's color scheme.

The order of the palette swaps for each character are sorted in the order in which they appear on the character selection screen.

Glitch

There is a glitch in Brawl that allows multiple players to be the same character with the same color scheme, without the shading seen in Team Battles.

This glitch can also occur when every player selects random, and multiple players end up playing as the same character.

Trivia

  • Captain Falcon's red outfit actually has one file for each available PAL language in the game (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian). While presumably done so localizers could edit the "Blood Hawk" on the back to match the current language, this appears to have been skipped or glossed over, as there is no difference between the files.
  • Mr. Game & Watch only has one file for his model and textures. This indicates that the color variations come from tinting or blending the textures, instead of pre-rendered bitmaps.
  • Luigi has an unused blue costume in the game's data; this costume is slightly lighter in color than the used one, and the reason for its removal is unknown.
