Super Smash Bros. 4 continues to include palette swaps - players can pick a different color for their character. This time around, all characters, with the exception of Little Mac, will have eight palette swaps, instead of having up to six.[1] In addition, all palette swaps are available in both versions of the game.
Certain characters possess palette swaps with more drastic design differences than simple recolors, similar to Wario in Brawl; Wii Fit Trainer, for instance, has multiple palette swaps that replace her with a male Trainer. Two characters, Olimar and Bowser Jr., also have palette swaps that change them into new characters, complete with appropriate Announcer clips, though there are no gameplay differences between them.
Unique to the game is that team matches no longer require specific palette swaps, with team colors being indicated by colored outlines around characters instead; even if outlines are manually disabled in the game's settings, they will be forcibly displayed in team battles. As a result, it is no longer mandatory for all characters to have red, blue, and green options, though a majority of characters still have such options.
Bowser Jr.'s alternate designs replace him with each of the seven Koopalings.
- Green - Bowser Jr. (His is the only one with black eyes on his Koopa Clown Car)
