A '''character''' is one of the fighters in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series. Characters can be sorted into '''playable''' and '''non-playable''', which distinguishes whether characters can be used without the use of a cheat device (like [[Action Replay]]) or not. Playable characters can further be divided into [[starter character|starter]], [[Unlockable character|unlockable]], and [[Downloadable character|downloadable]], which distinguishes whether characters can be played right away, whether they need to be unlocked, or whether they need to be downloaded.
 
==Playable characters==
This is a list of the playable characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, commonly known in official sources as '''fighters'''.

===Notes===
<references/>
 
==Newcomers and veterans==
A '''newcomer''' is a character who appears as playable for the first time in the series in a given game. A '''veteran''' is the opposite: a character who has been playable in a previous game. For example, Olimar is a newcomer in ''Brawl'', as he did not appear as playable in any previous games, but is a veteran in all subsequent and future games. Note that the definition of newcomers is distinct from that of "[[unlockable character|unlockable]]" or "secret" characters, which are playable characters who must be unlocked by completing certain tasks; every game starting with ''Melee'' has had starter veterans, starter newcomers, unlockable veterans, and unlockable newcomers.
 
The term newcomer was originally used to describe the unlockable characters in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' by the [[Erase Data|data deletion]] [[menu]]. It was later used in the first trailer for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', in which new characters were introduced with the title "Newcomer" atop their name. The word newcomer was later used on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] site to classify new characters whether unlockable or not. This use of the term has become the community-preferred usage for other games in the series.
 
==="Perfect-attendance crew"===
Less commonly, the term "veteran" can also denote the "eight regulars" or "perfect-attendance fighters", terms which refer to the eight [[starter character]]s in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' which have been in all subsequent games of the series. The terms originated in the description for the 10th ''Brawl'' event match [[Event 10: All-Star Battle Regulars|All-Star Battle Regulars]], reading: ''"The Smash Bros. perfect-attendance crew! Fight the eight regulars in order!"'' A popular, unofficial term referring to this group is "The Original 8" ([[Mario]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Link]], [[Samus]], [[Yoshi]], [[Kirby]], [[Fox]], and [[Pikachu]]), which may also be called "The Original 12" if including the four unlockable characters ([[Luigi]], [[Captain Falcon]], [[Ness]], and [[Jigglypuff]]). {{forwiiu}} is the first game where all the "Original 12" are starter characters.
 
==Trivia==
*[[Roy]] is the only "non-native" character to debut in a ''Super Smash Bros.'' game before appearing in any other game in their respective series. His inclusion in ''Melee'' was intended to promote ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade}}'', which was released shortly after ''Melee''.
*[[Dr. Mario]], [[Mewtwo]], and [[Roy]] are the only characters to skip an installment, being playable in ''Melee'' but not ''Brawl'', before returning in ''Smash 4'' thirteen years later.
*{{SSB|Captain Falcon}} (in ''SSB'') and the {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}s are the only characters to use head icons that don't portray their faces.
*[[Dr. Mario]], [[Falco]], [[Mr. Game & Watch]], and [[R.O.B.]] are the only characters that have been [[unlockable character]]s in every one of their playable appearances.
*''Smash 4'' is the first game to feature playable female swordfighters: [[Lucina]], female [[Robin]], female [[Corrin]], and female [[Mii Swordfighter]].
**[[Koopalings|Wendy O. Koopa]], who appears as an alternate costume for Bowser Jr., is the first female villain to be a playable character in the series.
*[[Wario]] is the only character to debut as a starter before becoming unlockable in another game.
*[[Yoshi]] and [[Captain Falcon]] are the only sole representatives of their series to appear in all four ''Super Smash Bros.'' games.
*[[Ice Climbers]] are the only characters to be cut after appearing in multiple games.
*{{uv|Metal Gear}} and {{uv|Ice Climber}} are the only universes to have the entirety of their characters cut from one game to the next.
*Samus is the only female character to appear in all four ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, as Pokémon were not considered gendered at the time of the first game's release.
