Notice

Notices (Milestones in Smash 4 onwards) are a feature present in every game of the Super Smash Bros. series. They act somewhat similarly to achievements in other video games, for example showing up to announce that a new character or stage has been unlocked or that a game mode has been cleared for the first time. The number of notices obtainable per game tends to increase with each game in the series; for example, up from only seven notices in the original Super Smash Bros., Wii U has approximately 143.

Super Smash Bros. Melee


Melee has nearly nine times more notices as the previous game, bringing the total up to sixty, not including messages attained from unlocking trophies. If said messages are counted, the total number of notices will be 63.

Two bonuses are also exclusive to the West, for unlocking the Samus Unmasked and Mario and Yoshi trophies; in Japan, the two trophies were only available in giveaways, while in the NTSC and PAL regions, the player had to hack the game to get them.

Japanese notices also include English text above the actual notice box telling players what they have received; trophies, for instance, say "Figure get!!".


 * Not available in the PAL version

Super Smash Bros. Brawl


Note: Pokémon names are all uppercase in the PAL version.

Trivia

 * Ness' notice in Smash 64 claims him to be a "child genius" despite him not showing many signs of notably high intelligence in EarthBound.
 * The notices for playing 4,995 matches in Melee and 4,999 in Brawl are references to the games' official MSRP prices (at launch) in the United States, $49.95 and $49.99 respectively.
 * Brawl has an unused notice for collecting 100 songs ("You now have over 100 songs!"). It isn't used as there are already 125 songs unlocked when starting the game.
 * Oddly, includes a milestone for unlocking all Assist Trophies, but Smash 4 does not feature any unlockable Assist Trophies, unlike Brawl, making the milestone impossible to achieve.
 * In the NTSC version of Super Smash Bros. 4, when the player collects all the custom moves, the game says, "Show me your moves!", directly referencing Captain Falcon's taunt which has become a meme.
