In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', the character select screen displayed placeholders for not yet unlocked characters. This made all unlockable characters use placeholder slots. In ''Melee'' this was changed. [[Clone]]s didn't use placeholders prior to unlocking, with their portraits simply appearing afterward (since Melee had 11 unlockable characters but only had 5 placeholder slots for unlockables). There were 5 placeholders and clones did not have it. Similarly, as for [[unlockable stage]]s, there were 11 unlockables despite there being 5 placeholder slots. [[Flat Zone]], [[Past Stage]]s, and {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} universe stages did not appear as placeholders. The placeholder slots (for both unlockable characters and unlockable stages) were completely removed | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', the character select screen displayed placeholders for not yet unlocked characters.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', whenever a character is unlocked, a "[Character] Joins the battle!" screen is displayed while playing ''{{SSBMMusicLink|Rare Trophy}}'' from ''Melee'', before archiving their corresponding milestones. This also applies to [[downloadable content]] characters once they are downloaded, or when the game is booted after a character's release date in case of being purchased them via Fighters Pass in the latter game. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros.
