Opening movie
The opening movie is a movie that is shown after Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee or Super Smash Bros. Brawl is turned on.
SSB
The opening movie starts with Master Hand in a kid's room picking up toy versions of two random characters in SSB, which he places in a stage made of objects from the room. The puppets come to life and start a fight after Master Hand counts from three to one. Then, some shots of the starter characters appear and they start running. Link appears on a mountain, Pikachu rolls on a Poké Ball while a Pokémon Trainer passes by, a scene of Donkey Kong and Samus fighting appears, four Yoshis appear guarding some Yoshi eggs in a nest, the Great Fox and several Arwings are shown and Fox is controlling the Great Fox. After these shots, the starter characters bump into each other and a short scene of the four unlockable characters is shown. If a secret character is unlocked, they will be fully shown, but if they aren't unlocked, only the shadow of the character appears. Finally, the title screen appears as the announcer gives the game's name.
Melee
The opening movie starts with a trophy of Mario that is thrown in the air by a hand. As soon as the trophy lands, Mario revives from it and faces Link. Pikachu and Kirby also join the battle. Then, a shot of Peach is shown and Mario performs some of his moves. After that, Bowser rises from a firesea and then Donkey Kong is seen swinging trough a jungle and Samus fights Ridley. Some shots of Link are shown with a moving backround with Zelda characters and many different coloured Yoshis pass by. Then, the Ice Climbers climb a ice mountain. Popo slips and almost falls off, but Nana saves him. After that, some gameplay shots are shown. Then, Sheik plays on a harp and Kirby flies around on a Warp Star. When Kirby dissapears, a Arwing controlled by Fox and a Wolfen controlled by Wolf O'Donnell are fighting and Ness warps into Onett. Then, all Pokémon in Melee appear and Captain Falcon and Samurai Goroh are bumping into each other with their Blue Falcon and Fire Stingray and Goroh's vehicle explodes. Then, Bowser is hit by lightning and Mario, Peach and Yoshi are standing next to him. Some shots of Melee characters are shown, the Great Fox, Falcon Flyer and Samus' Gunship fly by, trophies of four fighters are blasted away by a Bob-omb and the title screen appears while the announcers gives the game's name.
Brawl
Super Smash Bros. Brawl's intro is rather different from the other 2 games. Instead of having an original clip, it instead uses scenes from the Subspace Emissary, along with a few selections of Vs. Mode matches.
