The '''credits''' are a feature shown at the end of a game that list the cast and staff members who worked on it. ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' have interactable credits that allow the player to (depending on the game) view more details about an individual, earn {{b|Gold|collectible}}, or increase their score. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' has a similar feature, the [[Character Roll Call]], except it lists the [[character]]s, [[item]]s and [[trophies]] instead. Standard ending credits do appear in ''Brawl'' after completing the [[Subspace Emissary]], though it isn't interactable.

After beating [[1P Game]], the credits will slowly pass by. When shooting a staff name, the screen will pause long enough to let the player read the name of the staff member. By pressing [[Start-Pause button|Start]], the credits will speed up and will not pause if the player shoots them. If the player presses the B Button, then the credits will pause; hitting B again on a name will show the staff member's contributions to the game. Pressing the A or Start buttons or pressing B on a blank space will resume the credits.

After beating {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}, [[Adventure Mode]] or [[All-Star Mode]], the credits will appear as they do in ''Super Smash Bros.'' However, the credits go by much faster, have different paths that they can move, and do not pause when shot. The background is also different; whereas the original game had a blank, black background, ''Melee''{{'}}s credits feature what appears to be space, as the player travels around tunnels, a giant ''Smash'' logo, and some types of futuristic architecture. As in the previous game, the player can press Start to speed up the credits, as well as use B to pause the action. The game also displays how many credits they successfully hit at the mode's conclusion, though this score is not saved and has no impact on gameplay.

The amount of shootable names is different in each version: the Japanese-language versions have 191, the NTSC English-language versions have 190, and the PAL version has 192. 18 names and the extra details of 2 names are not immediately available, and only become present when unlocking fighters or trophies. The presence of a score counter in the credits led to the formation of a [[List of rumors#Toad hoax|hoax]] that was later debunked.

Unlike the previous two games, where the completion of the primary 1P modes resulted in the player seeing the end credits, the ending credits in ''Brawl'' only play when the [[Subspace Emissary]] is completed and after [[Tabuu]] is defeated in subsequent playthroughs of the same Subspace Emissary file. The ending credits in ''Brawl'' are drastically different than the ending credits of ''Melee'', and is more similar to ''Smash 64''. The credits scroll in a more traditional manner, from the bottom of the screen to the top on a black background, and some boxes will also appear during the credits that show different short clips of some movies from The Subspace Emissary. Using the [[GameCube controller]]'s [[C-Stick]] or the [[Classic Controller]]'s right [[control stick]], the player can rotate the credits. The shooting minigames from ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'' no longer return in ''Brawl''{{'}}s credits.

At the end of {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} and [[All-Star Mode]], the player instead views the [[Character Roll Call]], which replaces the Ending Credits minigame for these modes.

The credits return to Classic Mode in both the [[Classic Mode (SSB4-3DS)|3DS]] and [[Classic Mode (SSB4-Wii U)|Wii U]] versions and [[All-Star Mode]], where unlike in the previous games, instead of shooting the names, the player can use their fighter to attack the names. In the background there is a large panel with that fighter's [[ending image]]. However, the photo is hidden by a white texture, and must be uncovered. As the player attacks the names, the hit rectangle flies to the background, removing part of the white texture and revealing chunks of the ending image. The player can speed up the credits by pressing the Start button if they wish, but then can not attack the credits while they are fast-forwarded. The player is awarded 1 Gold per 1% of the image. Also, if 99.99% of the image is revealed, the game may choose to automatically round the score up to 100%. Therefore the most a player can receive is 100 Gold.

The credits return after beating {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}. Unlike the previous installments, it is a scrolling shooter that changes perspective as the player progresses. The player controls their fighter equipped with a [[Super Scope]] to fly around and shoot the names. Charged shots can hit multiple names by passing through them. Players can shoot an explosive item which triggers a [[Smart Bomb]]-like explosion to hit nearby names. Along the way, there will be small spaceships which try to either shoot at the player or get in their way; while they do not impede their progress, being hit will temporarily stun them, preventing them from shooting and potentially causing them to miss names. A score is displayed based on names that were hit and a progress bar with rewards is displayed on the bottom left corner. The progress bar will move towards the rewards as the player shoots the names at five different point thresholds: 100,000 points, 300,000 points, 600,000 points, 1,000,000 points and 1,500,000 points. The background is set in space with polygonal landscapes. The camera changes angles when the player progresses in the credits. The player can speed up the credits like in previous ''Smash Bros.'' games, which will likewise render them unable to shoot names (although the player can still fire the Super Scope). After the credits, the fighter's [[Congratulations screen|ending image]] can only appear before the final results screen just like in ''Smash 64''. Like in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', each character has their own separate music based on their own [[universe]].

The credits also appear after completing [[Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]] and it displays the names. It is set in a black background and the shooting credits game is not in the World of Light's credits. The songs used in the credits for World of Light are Main Theme Piano Solo (If either [[Galeem]] or [[Dharkon]] is defeated) and [[Lifelight]] (If both Galeem and Dharkon are defeated). Main Theme Piano Solo will still play after Lifelight ends in the true ending.

*In ''Smash 4'', attacking the company logos causes a unique sound: "[[Bandai Namco|BANDAI NAMCO Games]]" and "BANDAI NAMCO Studios" cause a ''Pac-Man'' eating sound effect, "[[Nintendo]]" causes a Game Boy startup sound effect, and "[[Sora Ltd.|Sora]]" causes a crowd cheer. In ''Ultimate'', only the Game Boy startup sound is heard upon shooting the Nintendo logo at the end.

*In ''Ultimate'', there is a timer starting at 2:33 and counting down throughout the credits. It is purely aesthetic and does not affect anything, stopping exactly at the time the Nintendo logo would finish leaving the screen if not shot.
