 For [[Team Battle]]s in ''Super Smash Bros.'', ''Melee'', and ''Brawl'', there are three teams: red, green, and blue. As such, each character has red, green, and blue costumes that double as team colors. Some characters' default costumes also represent a team color; for example, [[Mario]]'s default costume is red, so he wears his default costume when fighting on a red team. In the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', some costumes are only usable in Team Battles, such as {{SSB|Samus}} and {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}'s blue costumes and {{SSB|Mario}}, {{SSB|Kirby}}, {{SSB|Donkey Kong}}, and {{SSB|Captain Falcon}}'s green costumes. {{SSB|Yoshi}} has six colors; green (default), red, light blue, and yellow are selectable normally, while dark blue and pink are only seen in the [[Yoshi Team]]. In ''Brawl'', {{SSBB|Wario}} has 12 alternate costumes with six color variations of his ''WarioWare'' costume and his classic overalls. Each variation has red, green, and blue colors usable for Team Battles, making Wario the only character in ''Brawl'' with two color choices when on a team.
-If two or or more characters share the same alternate costume in Team Battles or online multiplayer, the second player will have a lighter tint in their appearance. A third player uses a darker tint, and in ''Melee'', a fourth is completely black, while in ''Brawl'', a fourth is a darker tint than the third player. In ''Melee'', data suggests that a fifth player would be completely gray. This aspect was slightly altered in ''Ultimate'', where if multiple players (up to a maximum of four) use the same color through Tourney Mode, their character will have a specific color filter depending on their port number: Player 1 has a red filter, Player 2 has a blue filter, Player 3 has a yellow filter, and Player 4 has a green filter.

A third player uses a darker tint, and in ''Melee'', a fourth is completely black, while in ''Brawl'', a fourth is a darker tint than the third player. In ''Melee'', data suggests that a fifth player would be completely gray. This aspect was slightly altered in ''Smash 4'' as the second player now has a darker tint in their appearance, with subsequent players now sporting a slightly darker tint than the previous player. This aspect remains in ''Ultimate'', although subsequent players following the second player instead will share the same darkened tint. It is important to note that the tint only applies towards others players if they share the same alternate costume as the character being controlled in their own Switch console. If multiple characters share the same alternate costume and are not being controlled by a player on their own console, no tint will be applies to any character. Additionally, in offline Tourney Mode, should multiple players (up to a maximum of four) use the same color, their character will instead have a specific color filter depending on their port number: Player 1 has a red filter, Player 2 has a blue filter, Player 3 has a yellow filter, and Player 4 has a green filter.
 In ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', due to the increased number of possible players with introduction of [[8-Player Smash]], players can choose from four different teams. Teams are indicated by a red, green, blue, or yellow outline around the character (rather than using matching alternate colors for red, yellow, blue, or green), so players can choose whichever alternate costumes they like in Team Battles.

 ==Trivia==
+*{{SSBB|Wario}} (in ''Brawl'') and {{SSB4|Little Mac}} (in ''Smash 4'') are the only characters who have ever had more than 8 alternate costumes.
-*While visually most alternate costumes are simply different textures on the same model, mechanically they are all independent models, even if identical. [[File replacement]]s can exploit this quirk to replace alternate costumes with unique models.
+*[[R.O.B.]] is the only character since ''Smash 4'' whose default costume is switched depending on the selected language.
-*Wario (in ''Brawl'') and Little Mac (in ''SSB4'') are the only characters who have ever had more than 8 alternate costumes.
+*In ''Melee'', each of {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}'s costumes slightly changes the width of his [[environment collision box]], minutely affecting when he collides with stage elements, being the only character in the series with such a quirk.<ref>http://smashboards.com/threads/difference-in-colors.223965/page-2#post-7249732</ref>
-*In ''Ultimate'', the game loads default costume character portraits on the [[character selection screen]] first, and then loads alternate costume portraits in character order. This can result in characters' alternate costume portraits not being displayed for several seconds, as the game is still loading them.
+*[[Yoshi]] is the only character in the series to have an alternate costume based on a then-upcoming game, being his ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Crafted World}}'' alternate costume in ''Ultimate'', which replaces his black palette swap from ''Smash 4''.
-*In ''Melee'', each of Captain Falcon's costumes slightly changes his character model's width, minutely affecting when he collides with stage elements and gameplay.<ref>http://smashboards.com/threads/difference-in-colors.223965/page-2#post-7249732</ref>
+*{{SSBU|Cloud}} in ''Ultimate'' is the only character in the series to have a different [[Omnislash|attack]] depending on their costume.
-*In ''SSB4'', [[Dr. Mario]], [[Dark Pit]], and Lucina were originally intended to be alternate costumes for Mario, [[Pit]], and [[Marth]], respectively. However, they were separated into different characters once they were given differentiating gameplay characteristics.<ref>http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/07/09/i-answer-some-questions-sakurai-famitsu-column-vol-461-464/</ref>
+*In ''Ultimate'', {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Inkling}}, {{SSBU|Ike}}, {{SSBU|Byleth}} and {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}} have alternate costumes with different animations, being the only characters in the series with this distinction. Pokémon Trainer and Byleth's alternate costumes have different idle animations, [[victory pose]]s, and taunts; Inkling has an altered idle animation, victory pose, and [[Screen KO]]; Ike has a different clapping animation, and Wii Fit Trainer has a different hitstun animation.{{fact}}
-*In ''SSB4'', Alph was intended to be a [[clone]] of Olimar, complete with the ability to pluck and command Rock Pikmin. In the final game, however, Alph became a model swap for Olimar.<ref>http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/07/29/plucky-little-guys-olimar-and-alph-in-smash-4/</ref>
-*Yoshi is the only fighter to sport an alternate costume based on a then-upcoming game, being his ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Crafted World}}'' alternate costume in ''Ultimate'', which replaces his black costume from ''SSB4''.
-*Wario in ''Brawl'', and Cloud, Bayonetta, Joker, Sephiroth, Kazuya, and Sora in all of their appearances are the only characters who have different artwork for their alternate costumes, but do not change them into a separate individual.
-*[[Wii Fit Trainer]], [[Inkling]], [[Ike]], [[Byleth]] and [[Pokémon Trainer]] are the only characters to have alternate costumes with different animations. Pokémon Trainer and Byleth's alternate costumes have different idle animations, [[victory pose]]s, and taunts; Inkling has an altered idle animation, victory pose, and [[Screen KO]]; Ike has a different clapping animation, and Wii Fit Trainer has a different hitstun animation.
-*Ike and [[R.O.B.]] are the only characters whose default costume became an alternate costume in a later installment.
-*R.O.B. is the only character whose default and alternate costume are switched depending on the language, although not in ''Brawl'': in Asian languages, his default is based on the Famicom variant and the first alternate on the NES variant, in Western languages, it's the other way around.
-*[[Link]] is the only fighter to sport an alternate costume that inspires a [[Copy Ability|Kirby hat]]: in ''Ultimate'', Link's Hero of the Wild costume is used for Kirby's Link hat rather than the Champion's Tunic. <!--The Hero copy ability hat is based on an item the Luminary can equip in DQXI, not Erdrick.-->
-*Ganondorf and Ike are the only fighters to have their initial design in their debut appearance removed in the next game, only to eventually have their prior designs reverted back to being the default in yet a later game.
-*Cloud is the only fighter to have a different [[Omnislash|attack]] depending on their costume.
-*Discounting Bowser Jr. and Hero (whose alternate costumes consist of different characters), Sora is the only character with more than two poses for his alternate costumes.
