In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', each character has at least four [[alternate costume]]s, one for each of the C Buttons used to select them. Some characters have an extra costume (or two) to accommodate [[Team Battle]]s if their four selectable costumes lack a red, blue, or green variation; these particular colors cannot be selected outside of Team Battle.

The original [[Smabura-Ken|''Smash 64'' website]] in Japan listed what each specific color was inspired by from previous Nintendo games and media prior to the release of the original game, along with some additional names for specific colors.<ref name="officialSite">[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/Color.html]</ref> These have been translated below and are considered to be official names for each alternate color, although there do exist some inconsistencies between the source material of the costume and the official explanation.

A third player uses a darker tint, which technically means that each character has 4 more costumes for [[Team Battle]]s.

Therefore this is seen as an amalgamation of his old appearances, with only the color tones specifically taken from ''Mario Bros.'', and he did not wear a blue hat, blue shirt and red dungarees in this game. This resembles ''Balloon Fighter'' in the arcade in 1984 game, ''Balloon Fight''. This was similar to 2P mode of Wario's colors in ''Mario Golf''. The blue shirt and red dungarees are also similar to what Mario wore in the ''Super Mario Bros. Super Show'' cartoon.

An icon used in notice templates. NOTE: Every claimed source needs a cross-reference link; claimed sources need to be plausible, not horrendously obscure; default costumes usually don't need descriptions since they are not alternate costumes.

In Super Smash Bros., each character has at least four alternate costumes, one for each of the C Buttons used to select them. Some characters have an extra costume (or two) to accommodate Team Battles if their four selectable costumes lack a red, blue, or green variation; these particular colors cannot be selected outside of Team Battle.

The original Smash 64 website in Japan listed what each specific color was inspired by from previous Nintendo games and media prior to the release of the original game, along with some additional names for specific colors.[1] These have been translated below and are considered to be official names for each alternate color, although there do exist some inconsistencies between the source material of the costume and the official explanation.

In Team Battles, if two identical characters share the same color scheme, the second player will have a lighter tint in their appearance. A third player uses a darker tint, which technically means that each character has 4 more costumes for Team Battles. A fourth player would appear the exact same way as the first player, though it is not possible to have four players on the same team through regular gameplay.

Due to the dark lighting of the tournament-legal Congo Jungle, the Smash 64 Backroom recommends avoiding the use of certain grey or black costumes when the stage is in use. If such a costume is used on the stage, any players in the match can reset the match so that the offending player can select a different costume. In the lists below, these costumes are marked with a black "!" in the team column.
