The Wii Remote selection sound is a feature that appears only in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. If a player is using any controller aside from GameCube, when they select a character on the character selection screen in a Group Brawl, a sound effect will be emitted from that player's Wii Remote. Each character's sound effect is different, and the volume can be adjusted by using the Home menu. The Random box provides no sound.

Trivia
- Despite not appearing in Brawl outside of unused files in the game's data, Mewtwo has a Wii Remote selection sound. The file for this in the game's data, however, is empty and does not produce sound when played back.
- Sonic is the only character that doesn't make his own sound (either through vocalizing or one of his actions), instead using the score tally sound from his games.
