Each player controls a small hand cursor which carries an emblem displaying their control [[port]] number and color. Selecting a character involves carrying the emblem over the character portrait and pressing a selection button. A box at the bottom of the screen will usually change to reflect the character choice; in ''Super Smash Bros.'', a full model of the character will appear and strike a pose while in ''[[Melee]]'', ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'', and ''[[Ultimate]]'', only a larger area of the character's portrait is shown.

Player character portraits after character selection are usually interactive. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' the color of the character's model will change in real-time when cycling through [[palette swap]]s. The player can cycle through the palettes of each character in ''Brawl'' in an alternate way by pressing the selection button while hovering their hand cursor over the player character's portrait. Additionally in ''Brawl'' and ''Ultimate'', the player can select the default form or starter character where applicable by using the cursor to highlight the form or character in the portrait. The only character that has a transformation that cannot be chosen by means of a character portrait is [[Samus]]. In ''Ultimate'', players can change the character selection screen so that [[Echo Fighters]] can be stacked together in the same slot with the fighters they are based on. When such an option is enabled, the player may switch between the base fighter and his or her Echo Fighter by selecting the desired character icon on the top right corner of the character's portrait. Stacking echo fighters also causes [[Mii]] Fighters to also be stacked, similarly to how they were in ''SSB4''. This option will only affect the screen in [[Vs. Mode]], [[Tourney]], [[Custom Smash]], [[Super Sudden Death]], and [[Online play|Quickplay]]. A player may also choose a [[name]] from an expandable box in ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate''.

Single-player modes typically feature character selection screens with only one area for a player character portrait and a separate area where options for mode difficulty and/or a stock count until a [[continue]] is needed. There is typically an area that highlights [[highscore]]s for that mode.
