The tier list of Super Smash Bros. is less well-known than its sequel counterparts, mainly due to there being a smaller competitive community for the game. The following is a list of the known tier lists.
For the purposes of low tier tournaments, those characters in tiers B, C and D are classed as "low tier" characters. However, some current low tier tournaments only use C and D tier characters, due to the added tier in the current tier list.
First tier list
The first list was created by the Super Smash Bros. community on GameFAQs, unlike the tier lists of other games, which were created on SmashBoards by the Smash Back Room.

The second SSB tier list was created by the N64 community on SmashBoards.

In this tier list, Fox went from 4th place to 2nd and it is so far the only tier list to place him higher than Kirby. Ness severely dropped from 3rd place to 8th, mainly due to how prominent and exploitable his terrible recovery had become. Captain Falcon went up one place. Mario, Yoshi, and DK each went up two places. Jigglypuff dropped three places. Link jumped up once place, leaving Samus at the bottom of the list.
Third tier list
The third and current SSB tier list was created by the Smash Back Room.

Little has changed from the previous tier list. In this list, Kirby went from 3rd place to 2nd, making Fox drop one place. Link and Luigi are now tied at the second-to-last spot. Ness dropped one place, making Jigglypuff 8th place. Pikachu stayed at the top of the list where it has gained its own tier.
Tier list chart
This table shows the ranks of each character through all of the tier lists, as well as a numbered description of their change in rank each time. "Change" lists how much a character's position changed between the two tier lists it is in between. "Highest" represents a character's highest position, "Lowest" represents their lowest position, and "Difference" lists the difference between the highest and lowest position. "Overall change" represents a character's change between the first tier list and the current tier list.
| Character | 1st tier list | Change | 2nd tier list | Change | 3rd tier list | Highest | Lowest | Difference | Overall change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pikachu | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
