Notes

  1. ^ a b In Smash 4 and Ultimate, half of Olimar's costumes allow players to control Alph instead.
  2. ^ a b c Sakurai mentions these characters as having been planned for Super Smash Bros. on this page.
  3. ^ a b c d e f g Bowser Jr.'s alternate costumes also allow players to control any of the Koopalings instead.
  4. ^ a b c d e f As part of the Pokémon Trainer.
  5. ^ a b c d e This fighter’s alternate costumes have male and female variants. Only the default gender’s stock icon is shown on the table.
  6. ^ a b c While there hasn't been any official confirmation that Mewtwo, Roy, and Dr. Mario were intended to be in Brawl, unused data on Brawl's disc labelled for each of them strongly implies that the characters were developed to some degree for Brawl.
  7. ^ Known as Duck Hunt Duo in PAL regions.
  8. ^ a b c d Half of Hero’s costumes represent 4 different protagonists from across the franchise: Luminary, Erdrick, Solo, and Eight. Luminary is the default.
  9. ^ Sakurai stated that, while the Ice Climbers could run smoothly on the Wii U version, the 3DS could not handle the "two-in-one" coding of the duo, and, in order to keep the roster the same between the two versions, they had to be cut from the roster.
  10. ^ Sakurai stated that he originally intended to replace Ness with the new protagonist of Mother 3 (Lucas) in Melee, though Mother 3's delay caused him to go back on the idea and keep Ness.
  11. ^ Sakurai mentions Marth as having been planned for Super Smash Bros. on this page.
  12. ^ Known as Mii Sword Fighter in PAL regions.
  13. ^ a b c Pokémon Trainer's moveset allows the player to switch between Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard using their shared down special, Pokémon Change.
  14. ^ Samus' Final Smash in Brawl, Zero Laser, transforms her into Zero Suit Samus.
  15. ^ a b As part of Zelda's moveset.
  16. ^ Former head of Sonic Team, Yuji Naka, stated in an interview that Sonic was very close to being included in the game, but because of time constraints, was not.
  17. ^ a b Zelda's down special in Melee and Brawl, Transform, allows her to transform into Sheik.
  18. ^ Samus' Final Smash, Zero Laser, transforms her into Zero Suit Samus in Brawl.
