In the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, each character has a set of '''alternate costumes''' (officially known as '''color changes'''<ref>http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/howto/technique/technique08.html</ref>, '''color variations''', or '''costumes'''<ref>[[List of tips (SSBU)]]</ref>). Alternate costumes are sometimes known as '''palette swaps''', '''alternate colors''', or just '''colors'''. In addition to changing the appearance of characters, they distinguish players from other players using the same character. For [[Team Battle]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' certain costumes also distinguish teams. In ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Melee'', most characters have purely color-based alternate costumes, while ''Brawl'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' introduce a number of alternate costumes which change outfits and even swap out characters entirely. | In the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, each character has a set of '''alternate costumes''' (officially known as '''color changes'''<ref>http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/howto/technique/technique08.html</ref>, '''color variations''', or '''costumes'''<ref>[[List of tips (SSBU)]]</ref>).

In standard free-for-all matches, players can choose their character's costume on the character selection screen. Players cannot pick the same costume if they are using the same character. Every character has at least four costumes to choose from, one being their default costume and the rest being their alternate costumes. Starting from ''Brawl'', [[Random#Random character/stage select|randomly]] chosen characters may also have a random costume. Starting in ''SSB4'', the standard amount of alternate costumes for each character is eight. | In standard free-for-all matches, players can choose their character's costume on the character selection screen.

For [[Team Battle]]s in ''Super Smash Bros.'', ''Melee'', and ''Brawl'', there are three teams: red, green, and blue. As such, each character has red, green, and blue costumes that double as team colors. Some characters' default costumes also represent a team color; for example, [[Mario]]'s default costume is red, so he wears his default costume when fighting on a red team.

In ''Brawl'', {{SSBB|Wario}} has 12 alternate costumes with six color variations of his ''WarioWare'' costume and his classic overalls. Each variation has red, green, and blue colors usable for Team Battles, making Wario the only character in ''Brawl'' with two color choices when on a team. | ||
If two or or more characters share the same alternate costume in Team Battles or online multiplayer, the second player will have a lighter tint in their appearance. A third player uses a darker tint, and in ''Melee'', a fourth is completely black, while in ''Brawl'', a fourth is a darker tint than the third player. In ''Melee'', data suggests that a fifth player would be completely gray. This aspect was slightly altered in ''Ultimate'', where if multiple players (up to a maximum of four) use the same color through Tourney Mode, their character will have a specific color filter depending on their port number: Player 1 has a red filter, Player 2 has a blue filter, Player 3 has a yellow filter, and Player 4 has a green filter. | If two or or more characters share the same alternate costume in Team Battles or online multiplayer, the second player will have a lighter tint in their appearance.
