The character artwork of ''Super Smash Bros.'' is very different from all the games proceeding it, not only because of the 2D artwork but also due having a very unique style from other artwork at the time. Instead of being created in a more realistic and detailed matter, the roster is drawn in a more simplified, cartoony style. Characters that are drawn noticeably different from their original series are {{SSB|Link}} and {{SSB|Fox}}, who have a very different look that is never seen outside of other official artwork. | The character artwork of ''Super Smash Bros.'' is very different from all the games proceeding it, not only because of the 2D artwork but also due having a very unique style from other artwork at the time.

''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' was the first game in the series that started using 3D renders with a semi-realistic artstyle, which will be used for every game proceeding it. However, compared to all other games after ''Melee'', the roster looks noticeably different: due to being released slightly after the launch of the Nintendo GameCube, characters that appeared on the Nintendo 64 retain their early 3D designs, causing the game to look very unique to many other games even outside of the ''Smash Bros.'' series. One example is {{SSBM|Luigi}} who has his design from games such as ''Mario Kart 64'' and ''Mario Party'' | ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Unlike both predecessors, Brawl was the first game in the series to match the characters character select screen art with the official artwork, and all games afterwards will have screens that act in the same way. | Unlike both predecessors, Brawl was the first game in the series to match the characters' character select screen art with the official artwork, and all games afterwards will have screens that act in the same way. | ||
