“ | In the Super Smash Bros. series, the characters are toys in the real world, but they are fighters in the world of the imagination. | ” |
—Masahiro Sakurai, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct 11.1.2018 |
A character is the term used to describe beings in the Super Smash Bros. series. Characters can be sorted into playable and non-playable, which distinguishes whether characters can be used without the use of a cheat device (like Action Replay) or not. Playable characters can further be divided into starter, unlockable, or downloadable, which distinguishes whether characters can be played right away, whether they need to be unlocked by fulfilling certain requirements, or must be downloaded before gameplay is possible.
Playable Characters
This is a list of the playable characters in the Super Smash Bros. series, commonly known in official sources as fighters.
