The '''announcer''' ({{ja|ナレーション|Narēshon}}, '' | The '''announcer''' ({{ja|ナレーション|Narēshon}}, ''narration''), called '''narration''' in-game until ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', is an unseen character whose voice is heard in all games of the series, exclaiming what has happened in the game. The voice is often heard in menus when selecting [[mode]]s and [[fighter]]s, as well as within a match to announce its start and end and other events like a player losing all of their [[stock]]s or [[Share stock|sharing stock]]. It also announces the winner on the [[Victory pose|victory screen]]. The only move in the series to involve the announcer in any way is [[Konga Beat]], [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Final Smash]] in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', with the announcer saying "Ready? Go!" upon its activation. All of the announcer's voice clips can be heard in the [[sound test]]. | ||
The announcer has been voiced by 14 actors to varying degrees, for each game in the series as well as for different regions and [[language]]s. The English voice actor is considered to be the "primary" one in each game and is used by default in [[NTSC]] versions, as well as in Japanese, albeit with some minor differences in his lines, including character names. The English voice actor for the announcer has also always voiced [[Master Hand]] and [[Crazy Hand]]. | |||
