Data

Data is where records are stored for the Super Smash Bros. games. It holds the records for gameplay, the sound test, movies, etc. Although all the data is here, the option to Erase Data is in the Options menu.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

• Snapshots: In this submenu, the player can view any photographs captured in the Camera Mode.
• Archives: Two video clips are available for viewing to the player: A How To Play instructional video meant for newer players, and a "Special Movie", a nearly thirteen minute long video that features various gameplay modes and a roll-call of sorts for the starting fifteen characters.
• Sound Test: Initially locked, it allows the player to listen to all the music and sound effects in the game.
• Melee Records: Gives the player the option to look up multiple records pertaining to their game. Under "Melee Records", the player can view how various characters have performed in the game thus far. "Bonus Records" shows all the bonuses the player has attained. "Misc. Records" shows other, relatively insignificant records, such as how many VS. matches they've played.
• Special: Displays the special messages that the player has attained in the game, and at what time and date.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

• Movies: Similar in function to Melee's "Archives" section, this menu allows players to view five already included videos and any Subspace Emissary cutscenes that they have viewed.
• Records: This menu functions the same in Brawl as it does in Melee. The "Bonus Records" features, however, has been disabled, due to the lack of bonuses in Brawl. Additionally, the Notices have been moved under this menu instead, reprising their role once again.
• Sound Test: Unlike the previous two games, this mode is no longer initially locked; it reprises its role from the previous two games, but the player must unlock some of the music before it is available for listening and the characters before their sound effects are available.
