Screen
The Screen menu in Super Smash Bros. Brawl gives an in-game means of changing the widescreen settings of the Wii console to match the television being used. It is accessed via the Options menu, from the main menu, and by default inherits the setting enabled in the main Wii console options.
The two options are:
- 4:3 Standard - Causes the game to render the output with a narrower, "fullscreen", camera view.
- 16:9 Widescreen - Causes the game to render the output with a wider camera view, allowing more of the playing field to be shown.
A circle appears in the background on this menu, to help the player to see which screen size is more suited to their TV.
Changing the screen ratio does not change the Wii's output resolution, which remains at 640×480 (even on the default PAL setting of 576i 50Hz), only the way the picture is rendered within that resolution. As a result, snapshots captured on a widescreen-set console will have their dimensions changed if decrypted and viewed on a PC unless resized.

Trivia
- While Melee cannot natively support widescreen, it can be hacked in order to force the game to display widescreen. The two most common ways to do this are via Action Replay codes or hacks available for the GameCube.
