Series symbol

A series symbol is the logo that represents another game universe, assigned to playable characters and stages. For characters, it is displayed next to a character's damage meter (the same color as the character), as well as on the Victory Screen. For stages, it's visible on the Stage Selection screen. This is a list of all the symbols, along with a short explanation of what they are and where they come from within their game universes, and a picture.
