Alternate costume (SSB4): Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:12, June 28, 2024

NOTE: Every claimed source needs a cross-reference link; claimed sources need to be plausible, not awfully 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.

Mario and Greninja with alternate costumes

Each character in Super Smash Bros. 4 has a set of alternate costumes. Due to the presence of 8-Player Smash, all characters now have eight costumes (except for Little Mac, who has 16) for a total of 448 costumes in the game. Some costumes have slight visual differences between the 3DS and Wii U versions.

Some characters possess certain alternate costumes with more drastic design differences, and are not merely recolors of their standard outfits. Wario, Zero Suit Samus, Little Mac, Shulk, Cloud and Bayonetta have different outfits available; Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Robin and Corrin all have male and female variants; Olimar and Bowser Jr. have model swaps that change them into new characters, complete with corresponding voice and Announcer clips, though like all other alternate costumes, they bear no gameplay differences.

Pac-Man, Peach, and Pikachu using outlines in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS's Team Battles

Team Battles no longer confine characters to using their respective team color schemes, as teams are now indicated by colored outlines around the characters, giving players the freedom to pick whichever alternate costume they want to use in Team Battles.

On the Find Mii stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, the Dark Emperor uses magic that affects all players of the same color. Each alternate costume is allocated to one of the twelve Mii colors: black, brown, red, orange, yellow, light green, green, light blue, blue, purple, pink, and white. These colors are noted in the below lists as a bar underneath the corresponding portrait; as several characters have multiple costumes that share this color, the main color names as used on this page do not conform to this system.

Half of Bayonetta's costumes are based on her design from Bayonetta 2, while the other half are based on her design from Bayonetta.

-[[File:SSB4 - Mirror Pose 01.jpg|thumb|{{SSB4|Mario}} and {{SSB4|Greninja}} with alternate colorations.]]
+Each character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' has a set of [[alternate costume]]s. Due to the presence of [[8-Player Smash]], all characters now have eight costumes (except for {{SSB4|Little Mac}}, who has 16) for a total of 448 costumes in the game. Some costumes have slight visual differences between the 3DS and Wii U versions.
-''Super Smash Bros. 4'' continues to include [[palette swap]]s - players can pick a different color for their character. This time around, all characters, with the exception of [[Little Mac]], will have eight palette swaps, instead of having up to six.<ref>[https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKl_zHGQzw Sakurai's post on Miiverse]</ref>
-Certain characters possess palette swaps with more drastic design differences than simple recolors, similar to [[Palette swap (SSBB)#Wario|Wario in ''Brawl'']].
+Some characters possess certain alternate costumes with more drastic design differences, and are not merely recolors of their standard outfits. {{SSB4|Wario}},  {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}, Little Mac, {{SSB4|Shulk}}, {{SSB4|Cloud}} and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} have different outfits available; {{SSB4|Villager}}, {{SSB4|Wii Fit Trainer}}, {{SSB4|Robin}} and {{SSB4|Corrin}} all have male and female variants; {{SSB4|Olimar}} and {{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}} have model swaps that change them into new characters, complete with corresponding voice and [[Announcer]] clips, though like all other alternate costumes, they bear no gameplay differences.
+[[File:TeamBattleOutlines.JPG|thumb|350px|{{SSB4|Pac-Man}}, {{SSB4|Peach}}, and {{SSB4|Pikachu}} using outlines in {{for3ds}}{{'}}s Team Battles]]
+[[Team Battle]]s no longer confine characters to using their respective team color schemes, as teams are now indicated by colored outlines around the characters, giving players the freedom to pick whichever alternate costume they want to use in Team Battles.
-Team matches, at least on the 3DS version, no longer require specific palette swaps, with team colors being indicated by colored outlines around characters instead. It is unknown how this feature will work if outlines are turned off.
+On the [[Find Mii]] stage in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', the [[Dark Emperor]] uses magic that affects all players of the same color. Each alternate costume is allocated to one of the twelve [[Mii]] colors: black, brown, red, orange, yellow, light green, green, light blue, blue, purple, pink, and white. These colors are noted in the below lists as a bar underneath the corresponding portrait; as several characters have multiple costumes that share this color, the main color names as used on this page do not conform to this system.
