In Super Smash Bros. Melee

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the condor appears in the Ice Climbers' Target Test stage. It holds the tenth and final target in its talons atop the stage, as a reference to its appearance in Ice Climber. Unlike fellow enemies Topi and Polar Bear, the Condor retains its original appearance from Ice Climber, appearing as an 8-bit sprite.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Condor appears as the Ice Climbers' entrance, carrying the Ice Climbers into the stage. As part of its appearance, it was given a new three-dimensional model.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

The Condor does not appear in either version of Super Smash Bros. 4, though it is mentioned in the Ice Climbers trophy.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

The Ice Climbers return as playable characters in this installment, and the Condor reprises its role from Brawl in their entrance.
