From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
This is a list of commercials used to advertise the Super Smash Bros. series. This article does not cover trailers, and instead focuses on short videos that aired either in television breaks or on video-sharing website pre-rolls to advertise the series. Most of these were released by Nintendo with the primary purpose of promoting the latest Smash title, but some are cross-promotions by third parties such as GameStop or Cartoon Network that provided copies of Smash games either in store or through sweepstakes; while others are Nintendo adverts primarily promoting the hardware that hosts the game while using Smash as a selling point.
- The American version of the commercial for Super Smash Bros. has the song "Happy Together" by The Turtles playing in the background.
- The commercial was also filmed in one day at Golden Oak Ranch.[1]
- The costumes seen in this commercial were later used in the Slamfest '99 promotional event.
- In the North American commercials for Super Smash Bros. 4, the announcer's voice (played by Xander Mobus) can be heard saying "Settle it in Smash!".
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the only game in the series to not use music in one of the North American commercials ("More Fighters, More Battles, More Fun").
- The lack of music prompted a set of viral videos that added music to the commercial, one of which amassing over a million views.[2]
- The Japanese version played in reverse, to which a newer version of the trailer was later released with a dash (‘), similar to the Japanese name for Echo Fighters.
- A North American commercial for Ultimate was taken down due to it revealing Stage Builder, which at the time was unavailable and released as free DLC for the game just a week later.
- The AKB48 commercial caused minor controversy upon its release, as the way the trailer presented the group members made some think that they were actual characters in the game. This quickly subsided as the confused were corrected that they were nothing more than Mii Fighters.[3]
