'''Snapshots''' ({{ja|写真|Shashin}}, ''Photos'') are image files used to save certain moments of gameplay. They were introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and the feature was expanded upon in future installments of the series.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
In ''Melee'', taking a snapshot requires use of [[Camera Mode]], using the controller in port 4 to control the camera and capture pictures. Captured snapshots are then saved to the [[GameCube]]'s [[memory card]], which can then be viewed in the appropriate [[Data]] menu option. No efficient method exists for exporting snapshots in ''Melee'' to be saved onto a personal computer, leaving the feature rather limited.

''Melee'' prioritises the Memory Card in Slot B for saving snapshots, however, snapshots can be saved to the Memory Card in Slot A if there is no Memory Card in Slot B, or the game is unable to write to the Memory Card in Slot B (e.g. there is not enough space or the Memory Card is corrupted). ''Melee'' allows players to view snapshots both Memory Cards.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==

''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' improves on the idea, and implements it in a much more useful fashion. Snapshots can be taken in any mode (except [[Stadium]] and [[Wi-Fi Connection]] modes), using the [[pause]] screen's camera. Snapshots can be saved either directly on the [[Wii]] or to an [[SD card]]. The amount of pictures is only limited based on the size of the memory storage location. Prior to the shutdown of the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], it was also possible to send images to registered friends. Snapshot files created by ''Brawl'' are stored as encrypted .BIN files, and as a result, they cannot be immediately be viewed on a computer or even on the Wii's included [[wikipedia:Wii_Menu#Photo_Channel_1.1|Photo Channel]]. Before its shutdown, the [[Brawl Snapshots]] website could be used to convert these files to the .{{Iw|wikipedia|JPG}} format; a tool written by GTCoder has since become the primary way of converting the files into viewable images.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Snapshots return in both versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. In {{for3ds}}, they can be saved to either either the system's memory or to an SD card; in {{forwiiu}}, snapshots can only be saved to an SD card. Snapshots in ''Smash 4'' do not have encryption, and are instead saved as standard .JPG files, with an additional encrypted .BIN file whose presence enables the system to recognize the associated image as a ''Smash 4'' screenshot. Images taken with the 3DS's three-dimensional features  enabled are also saved as an [[wikipedia:JPEG#JPEG_Multi-Picture_Format|.MPO]] file that allows the image to be viewed in 3D on both the 3DS and external software.

Both versions of the game allow snapshots to be [[share]]d with friends and on a dedicated {{b|Miiverse|social network}} community (the latter of which was discontinued). In {{forwiiu}}, players can also draw on saved screenshots using the touchscreen on the [[Wii U GamePad]] and a basic built-in painting tool.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
Snapshots return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.  Rather than in an in-game Album, snapshots taken in this game are saved directly to the [[Nintendo Switch]] system's album, found in the Home menu. Camera mode can be accessed in the pause menu rather than instantly pausing the match. Snapshots in the [[Nintendo Switch]] library can be added in Edited Videos. Snapshots from camera mode will not work with Final Smashes or when certain Assist Trophies are in play.
