User:Serpent King/List of non-playable Super Smash Bros. series characters

Add spirit/trophy/sticker appearances for characters too if you can.

Fighter variants/Minor bosses
Does not currently include every fighter variant (Melee event match variants, World of Light variants, Spirit Board variants, etc.) Honestly, I don't even know if all (or any) of these should be included, seeing as they are minor texture/size/attribute swaps of preexisting fighters.

As stage hazards
These characters are stage hazards, as they can interact with players or influence the stage, while being part of the stage.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, stage hazards can be turned on or off. If stage hazards are off, most of these characters do not appear, yet some still appear as background characters.

As background
These characters appear in the stage background and have no impact on the battle. If stage hazards are turned off, most of these characters still appear, but some do not as their stages no longer transform.

In addition, some stage hazard characters continue to appear when stage hazards are turned off, but they lose their ability to interact with the battle (at that point becoming background characters).

Characters as items
These characters appear as spawnable items.
