Battle entrances are a feature in the Super Smash Bros. games. A battle entrance is a short animation that each character has which plays out during the beginning of a match. In Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U, each character has their own unique animation for entering the match, but in Super Smash Bros. Melee, every character appears the exact same way.

Trivia

  • The only characters that don't have a battle entrance are Young Link, Mewtwo, Roy, and Pichu due to their being exclusive to Melee (which did not feature battle entrances).
  • If Little Mac has the pink clothes, he will just make the animation of taking them off, not actually taking them off.
