Therefore this is seen as an amalgamation of his old appearances, with only the color tones specifically taken from ''Mario Bros.'', and he did not wear a blue hat, blue shirt and red dungarees in this game. This resembles ''Balloon Fighter'' in the arcade in 1984 game, ''Balloon Fight''. This was similar to 2P mode of Wario's colors in ''Mario Golf''.

Revision as of 20:41, January 31, 2014
In Super Smash Bros., each character has at least four palette swaps, one for each of the C Buttons used to select them. Some characters had an extra costume (or two) to accommodate Team Battles if their four costumes lacked a red, blue, or green variation; these particular colors cannot be selected outside of Team Battle.
The original Super Smash Bros. Dojo website in Japan listed what each specific colour was inspired by from previous Nintendo games and media prior to the release of the original game, along with some additional names for specific colours.[1] These have been translated below and are considered to be official names for each alternate color, although there are some additional details not on the Dojo and possibly some things overlooked or even unintentional references to previous games.
In Team Battles, if two characters shared the same palette swap, the second player would have a lighter tint in their appearance. A third player uses a darker tint. It is currently unknown how a fourth character appears, though it is not possible to have four players sharing a palette swap through regular gameplay.

| |||
|

Therefore this is seen as an amalgamation of his old appearances, with only the color tones specifically taken from Mario Bros., and he did not wear a blue hat, blue shirt and red dungarees in this game. This resembles Balloon Fighter in the arcade in 1984 game, Balloon Fight. This was similar to 2P mode of Wario's colors in Mario Golf. The blue shirt and red dungarees are similar to what Mario wore in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show cartoon.
- Green Green Team Contrary to popular belief, it is not officially a reference to Luigi.
