Sound test, now simply titled ''Sounds'', is again unlocked from the start with some tracks hidden until unlocked. It is located in the [[Vault]] and can also be accessed via the sound settings in Options. Sounds is unique among the series in that one version has unique features the other version does not have and vice versa. {{for3ds}} was the first to drop sound effects and [[victory theme]]s, leaving only music and voices viewable. This version was also the first to introduce alternate costumes with different models (such as the [[Koopalings]] or female [[Robin]]) feature separate sections from the default ones. Music tracks are indicated by a blue background, while voice clips are in green. The number system is done away entirely and instead has a list of tracks similar in presentation to an {{s|wikipedia|iPod}} interface . The songs do not loop indefinitely anymore and instead fade out after a certain amount of time. The music selection emphasizes handheld games as a reference to the fact that the 3DS is a handheld console. The copyright owner and/or arrangement supervisor of each music track is now viewable in the info section. The main feature of the 3DS version is that the option exists to keep music playing even when the system is in sleep mode. The [[L button|L]] and [[R button]]s can be used to skip between tracks. The sleep mode functionality can only be used if headphones are inserted.

{{forwiiu}} is mostly similar, with a few key differences. Unlocking hidden tracks is the same, with the additional method of [[CD]]s returning from ''Brawl''. The option to play music in sleep mode has been removed. In its place is a dedicated "favorite" section. The player has the ability to star tracks that will then go into the favorite section, where they can be easily found without searching. There are more music tracks than the 3DS version, and the selection emphasizes home console games as a reference to the fact that the WiiU is a home console. Unique to the Japanese version is the voice tracks crediting the voice actors on the info screen instead of just in the credits. However, notably, {{s|mariowiki|Kazumi Totaka}} and [[Masahiro Sakurai]]—the voice actors for [[Yoshi]] and [[King Dedede]] respectively—are credited here, but not in the actual [[credits]]. This is not present in any other language version of the game, likely due to the use of uncredited union voice actors in the series' English dubs. In both versions, some character voice clips are missing, such as those of {{SSB4|Duck Hunt}}.

*The announcer saying "Win!" isn't present in the English version of ''Ultimate'', despite the fact that he does say it if a plural character (such as the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}) wins. In the Japanese version, he says "Win!" for every character (besides {{SSBU|Joker}}, {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}, and {{SSBU|Kazuya}}, who don't use the normal announcer for their victory screens), and so the clip is present in the Japanese sound test.

***Oddly, this also applies to [[Luma]] and [[Squid Sisters|Callie]], despite their voice actors, Yuya Takezawa and Yuki Kudara (credited as keity.pop), respectively, being Japanese.

*{{SSBU|Bayonetta}} has two nearly identical sections of voice clips in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s Sound Test, due to her original ''Bayonetta'' costume using English voice clips in all regions while her ''Bayonetta 2'' costume uses Japanese voice clips in some regions. The ''Bayonetta 2'' design is missing four voice clips in total when the language is not set to Japanese, three being Japanese (when the language is set to Chinese or Korean), one being English. The missing voice clips do not have a counterpart in the other language.

*In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', Morton and Larry respectively have one less voice clip than Bowser Jr. and the rest of the Koopalings (Morton/Larry has 25/26 while the others have 26/27).
*In ''Smash 4'', both Larry and Morton have one less voice clip than Bowser Jr. and the rest of the Koopalings.
**In ''Ultimate'', this only applies to Larry.
*Oddly, the sorting of series in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s Sound Test is different from the Spirits list and the official website. Normally, {{uv|EarthBound}} is listed first and {{uv|F-Zero}} is listed afterward, and the third-party series are listed in order of their ''Smash'' debut; in the Sound Test, ''EarthBound'' comes after ''F-Zero'', and the third-party universes, as well as {{uv|ARMS}}, are grouped together with each other between the {{uv|Splatoon}} and ''Other'' categories.

*For unknown reasons, Yuki Tsuji is not credited as the {{SSBU|Inkling}}s in the Japanese Sound Test in ''Ultimate'', unlike Kazumi Totaka and Masahiro Sakurai, who are also not credited as voices in the main credits but are in the Sound Test.
