The following is a list of all taunts in Super Smash Bros.. In this game, only one taunt animation is included for each character. This means that characters can appear to face "the wrong way" relative to the camera depending on whether they initiate the taunt while looking left or right. Later games remedied this by having different animations for the same taunt so that characters will always face one direction with respect to the camera.

Mario

• Grows to a super-size, as if taking a Super Mushroom power-up, before shrinking again. This also increases his hurtbox. During the taunt, Mario mimics the standing pose seen in the original Super Mario Bros. The taunt has interruptibility, with Mario able to interrupt the taunt by shielding. The front of Mario's body will face the camera if the taunt is initiated to the right side.

  Mario's taunt.

Luigi

• Crosses his arms behind his back and performs a small, shy kick with his left foot. The kick can damage an opponent if it connects, acting as a meteor smash. However, its pitiful range and slow startup severely limits its effectiveness.

Yoshi

• Spins and waves his arms up and down, saying "Yoshi!" as he does so. Yoshi will face the camera if the taunt is initiated with Yoshi facing to the left.

Donkey Kong

• Turns and shrugs his shoulders, making a silly noise. Donkey Kong will turn to his right, meaning he will look towards the camera if the taunt is made facing right.

Link

• Performs a pose in which he stands on his left leg and holds his sword in an attack position. Similar to the pose he performs after hitting an enemy with his sword in Zelda II: Adventure of Link.
