The [[Records]] menu allows the viewing of separate records for [[knock-out]]s, [[self-destruct]]s, [[damage]] taken, [[pratfall]]s and the like for each name. It is also possible to associate some controller preferences to each name, such as the [[Rumble]] option or - starting with ''Brawl'' - control schemes different from the default; this allows the usage of useful configurations such as [[A-sticking]] and [[Bidou]]. | The [[Records]] menu allows the viewing of separate records for [[knock-out]]s, [[self-destruct]]s, [[damage]] taken, [[pratfall]]s and the like for each name.

In ''Brawl'', names can be transferred to the [[Wii Remote]] and can then be transferred to another [[Wii]] console. [[KO Stars]] are temporarily awarded to a given name profile for scored KOs, lasting until the player exits [[Versus Mode]] or changes their name. | In ''Brawl'', names can be transferred to the [[Wii Remote]] and can then be transferred to another [[Wii]] console.

In ''Ultimate'', a player's name not only appears in the tag floating above their character, but also in their [[damage]] display, replacing the character's name. | |||
In rare cases, names may affect gameplay. For example, in ''[[Melee]]'', name tags remain visible even if they are pointing to an invisible character, making it easier to [[punish]] teleportation special moves such as [[Farore's Wind]] and [[Vanish]]. | In rare cases, names may affect gameplay.
