===Notes===

==Primary universes==
These are the video game series and franchises that the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games classify as major enough that they assign each franchise its own unique [[series symbol|symbol]] that appears with characters and stages belonging to that franchise. These franchises generally have characters, stages, items, and other properties that all appear in ''Smash Bros.'' games as part of their primary content. However, the minimum requirement for a symbol is to contribute one stage or one character to the games, with [[Mii (universe)|one notable exception]]. Universes that only contribute a stage, with the sole exception of ''{{uv|Animal Crossing}}'' in ''Brawl'', do not get a separate universe listing in the [[trophies]] pages and items and [[spirit]]s are not tagged with the symbol (for example, [[Golden Hammer]] is listed as a ''{{uv|Mario}}'' item and the [[Rocket Belt]] is listed under others).

*'''The {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} universe''': The "default" universe, this represents the ''Smash Bros.'' games themselves and accompanies all appearances of characters and stages that are thematically original to the fighting games themselves. Many original characters have been introduced here, but none thus far have been actually playable, with most serving as enemies and bosses in single-player content. The universe symbol seen here is also used as a "placeholder" by the games to indicate a minor universe without its own symbol until ''Ultimate'', where an ellipsis is used instead. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the ''Super Smash Bros.'' universe gets its own character representation by the customizable [[Mii|Mii Brawler, Mii Swordfighter, and Mii Gunner]].

:*'''The {{uv|Yoshi}} universe''': Referred to as the '''''Yoshi's Island''''' universe by [[PAL]] versions of ''Brawl'', it was initially conceived as a prequel to the ''Mario'' series starring the dinosaur [[Yoshi]], as he befriended and saved the baby forms of Mario and Luigi, however, it later sprung on Yoshi having adventures of his own along others of his species.

The games in this series are either platforming titles or microgame collections in its main character's quest to indulge in his greed and gain wealth, and Wario as he appears in both of these two genres of games within his series, is the one playable character.

The series' formerly silent protagonist, bounty hunter [[Samus Aran]] clad in a versatile power suit (as well as without it in an alternative guise named [[Zero Suit Samus]]), is the primary playable character. In ''[[Brawl]]'', another character from the universe appeared as a boss in the form of [[Ridley]], and later as [[Meta Ridley]]. In ''[[Smash 4]]'', Ridley appears as a stage boss in the Wii U version. However in ''[[Ultimate]]'', Ridley finally becomes a playable fighter on his own accord. Also in ''Ultimate'', [[Dark Samus]] - the bounty hunter's arch-rival from the ''Prime'' series - joins the fray, being promoted from [[Assist Trophy]].

*'''The {{uv|Kirby}} universe''': A colorful platformer series aimed at beginners in gaming, its signature mechanic being its main character's ability to inhale his enemies and copy their powers, and the game franchise headed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] prior to and alongside his directorial involvement in his ''Smash Bros.'' series, and also developed by [[HAL Laboratory]]. The titular pink spherical hero [[Kirby]] (since ''Smash 64''), his menacing rival [[Meta Knight]] (since ''Brawl''), and the greedy [[King Dedede]] (since ''Brawl'') have all been featured as playable characters.

|-
|
*'''The {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe''': A long-running series of tactical role-playing games set in sword-and-sorcery medieval fantasy settings and portrayed with numerous anime character designs and tropes.

Main heroes from the various unrelated installments in the series, including [[Marth]] (since ''Melee''), [[Roy]] (''Melee'', ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''), and [[Ike]] (since ''Brawl'') have been featured as playable characters. In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', [[Lucina]] and [[Robin]] were added as fighters from this universe, with [[Corrin]] eventually joining them as [[downloadable content]].

*'''The {{uv|Kid Icarus}} universe''': An old classic NES side-scroller heavily based in Greek mythology under a more comedic and light-hearted tone; it tells the story of a young angel knight named [[Pit]] as he battles to save the goddess [[Palutena]] from the Underworld forces of the evil Medusa. Pit appears with a major graphical redesign as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' onwards, leading to the series to be revived by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] with the release of ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', with Palutena making her debut as a playable character in ''Smash 4''. [[Dark Pit]], a major character in ''Uprising'', also debuts as a playable character in ''Smash 4''.

The five different Pikmin types, red, blue, yellow, purple, and white, along with Captain Olimar, are combined into a playable character known as [[Pikmin & Olimar]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. [[Alph]], the protagonist of ''Pikmin 3'', appears as a playable character in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' as four of Olimar's [[alternate costume|palette swaps]].
|{{symbol|Pikmin|50px}}

*'''The {{uv|R.O.B.}} universe''': Also known as the '''''Robot'' universe'''. It's based around two NES games, ''Stack-Up'' and ''[[Gyromite]]'', which are compatible with the accessory named Robotic Operating Buddy, better known as [[R.O.B.]]. Created to allow Nintendo a place in the North American toy market after the infamous crisis of 1983 that made retailers lose faith in video games, allowing them to market the NES as a toy and opening the gates for their eventual successes. Not much is known about this universe, other than the fact that its symbol is a Gyro from ''Gyromite'', and its only contributions are the character R.O.B., R.O.B.-based enemies in the [[Subspace Emissary]], a piece of music, ''Gyromite'', and a few spirits.
|{{symbol|ROB|50px}}

|
*'''The {{uv|Animal Crossing}} universe''': A series of colorful life simulation games where the player's avatar lives in a woodland town featuring anthropomorphic animals as the town's residents and neighbors. It was introduced to the ''Smash Bros.'' franchise in ''Melee'', with three trophies — K.K. Slider, Tom Nook, and [[Mr. Resetti]]. In ''Brawl'', ''Animal Crossing'' was more prominent, with a stage, an item, an assist trophy, and many stickers and trophies that originated in this universe. In ''Smash 4'', it became even more noteworthy, with a [[Villager]] added as a playable character, as well as [[Isabelle]] tagging along as an [[Assist Trophy]], who would later become a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
