Changes: Palette Swap (Super Smash Bros.)

Latest revision as of 02:13, 19 April 2024

In Super Smash Bros., each character had at least four costumes, one for each of the costume changing C buttons. Some characters had an extra costume or two, to accommodate for Team Battles if their four costumes lacked a red, blue, or green variation, these costumes cannot be selected outside of Team Battle since there are only four C buttons.

N/A: Color that is original to Smash and doesn't have any particular reference.

Mario

Red	R	Based on his appearance from the Nintendo 64 era.
Yellow	Y	Based on the traditional outfit of Mario's rival, Wario. The M on Mario's hat and buttons are colored yellow, compared to the W on Wario's hat which is colored blue and the buttons which are colored white.
Brown	B	Resembles Foreman Spike from Wrecking Crew '98, as well as an appearance of his seen in the flashing animation when Mario obtains a Super Star in the original Super Mario Bros.

Trivia

Fox’s alternate costumes were supposed to be his teammates from Star Fox and Star Fox 64: Falco Lombardi, Slippy Toad and Peppy Hare.
