Alternate costume (SSB4)
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
Super Smash Bros. 4 continues to include palette swaps - players can pick a different colour for their character.
Certain characters possess palette swaps with more drastic design differences than simple recolors, similar to Wario in Brawl.
Team matches, at least on the 3DS version, no longer require specific palette swaps, with team colors being indicated by colored outlines around characters instead.
