 [[File:UltimateAnnouncerGO!.jpg|thumb|In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, all matches and [[Sudden Death]] officially start when the Announcer says "GO!"]]
-The '''announcer''' (also known as the '''narrator''') is an unseen character that has appeared in all the games of the series, existing to (often but not always) e*****m what is happening in the game or what has happened. Though they have no direct effect on gameplay, the voice does act as an auditory signal for multiple events in the games, both within matches and the various menus (such as saying "Ready? Go!" upon the activation of [[Konga Beat]], [[Donkey Kong]]'s former [[Final Smash]] in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', which is the only attack in all of the series to involve the Announcer in some way). All of the announcer's voice clips can be heard in the [[sound test]].

 The identity of the announcer (real or plot-based alias) has never been revealed within any of the games, and his specific role in the series beyond mechanical has never been clarified, if there is one. The voice actor for the announcer has also always voiced [[Master Hand]] and [[Crazy Hand]], but this relationship has never been elaborated on, if a deliberate relationship between the three even exists.

-{{s|wikipedia|Jeff Manning}} was the first actor for the series, starting many of the trends that would later be followed by the future announcers; in addition to his booming style and various e**********s during gameplay, such as [[Character selection screen|characters being selected]], Jeff Manning started a trend where both the Announcer and Master Hand are voiced by the same person. Manning's voice has a significant filter applied to it, causing his voice to echo, as well as increasing the intensity of his voice; his actual delivery, however, is relatively calm, and he does not generally hold out words for long periods of time.

 Outside of Manning's voice, two other actors provide the announcer's voice in different regions; Frank Wölfen provides his voice in the German [[PAL]] version, and Jean-Marc Delhausse provides his voice in the French PAL version. The Chinese version of the game, released for the {{s|wikipedia|iQue Player}}, reuses Manning's voice.
 ===''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''===
-{{s|wikipedia|Dean Harrington}} is the second announcer in the series. He takes on a different inflection than Manning; Harrington y***s more similarly to an emcee at a boxing match, with his phrasing often lasting for long periods of time, as well as a generally more intense voice than Manning's. Like Manning, Harrington's voice has an echo filter applied to it; other filters applied to his voice, however, cause Harrington's voice to have a more muffled tone compared to the other announcers. With the introduction of [[Crazy Hand]] in the series, Harrington also began a trend where the announcer also voices Crazy Hand.

 In the PAL version, when choosing {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}, two different announcers will say the character's name when the game is set to German or French (the names being "Pummeluff" and "Rondoudou", respectively). The identities of these two announcers are unknown.

 *Carlos Lobo, who provides the Spanish announcer in ''Brawl'', ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', also voices Lucario in the Spanish localizations of the games.

-*''Brawl'' contains unused, empty announcer files for what appears to be the announcer s******g the title's name; in the final game, there are no voice clips for this. Other unused files also feature the [[Match timer#Final countdown timer|countdown at the end of a match]] starting at ten seconds, rather than five.

 *In spite of ''Brawl'' using a Korean announcer, ''Ultimate'' uses the English announcer and translates certain names into Korean, while using the Japanese translations for others.
