In the first three installments of ''Smash Bros.'', electric attacks always emit very loud sounds on hit.

*In ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'', characters hit by electric attacks will briefly flash black, with their skeleton visible. The exception is Samus, whose suitless shape is seen instead. Non-playable characters do not have this effect. Using AR codes can enable the player to play as a skeleton for an entire game. | *In ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'', characters hit by electric attacks will briefly flash black, with their skeleton visible.

*In ''Melee'', when Pikachu uses its back, up, or down throw on an opponent, it begins to spark immediately, without the "shock" being displayed when the move connects. This was fixed in ''Brawl'', where they were given a neutral effect. This also happens to Pichu, with these attacks also being the only ones that don't cause recoil damage to it (besides dismissed Thunder). | *In ''Melee'', when Pikachu uses its back, up, or down throw on an opponent, it begins to spark immediately, without the "shock" being displayed when the move connects.

*In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', characters use a special animation when hit by an electric attack, which has them continuously tremble in place during freeze frames and before being launched, instead of using a single animation frame, and is the same as their animation when [[paralyze]]d. | |||
