'''Character customization''', officially '''character creation''' ({{ja|キャラ作り|Kyara Tsukuri}}, ''character building''), referred to as '''Custom Move Sets''' ({{ja|カスタマイズ必殺ワザ|Kasutamaizu Hissatsuwaza}}, ''Customize Special Techniques'') in the Smash Direct, is a feature in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It allows players to alter several fundamental properties of playable characters and [[amiibo]], particularly their [[special move]]s. All non-[[DLC]] characters can replace each of their default special moves with one of two variations unlockable through gameplay, with the exception of {{SSB4|Palutena}} and the {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}s, who instead have a selection of completely different specials, which are all unlocked from the start. Certain characters, such as {{SSB4|Mega Man}}, have moves that appear to function significantly differently as well. In ''Smash 4'', the height and weight of Mii Fighters are customizable as well, affecting their speed and other attributes.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', only [[Mii Fighter (SSBU)|Mii Fighters]] can be customized, with custom equipment and custom moves for other characters removed. Mii Fighters can still be customized with special moves and outfits, and additionally can have their voices adjusted as well, but their height and weight are not customizable. Effects similar to those of custom equipment are present in ''Ultimate'''s [[Spirits (menu)|Spirits]] mode.

Before the [[Super Smash Bros. Direct]] where the feature was officially announced, in June 2013, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] had stated that players will be able to customize characters in the 3DS game and transfer those customizations to the Wii U game. He had also stated that the customizations would not be alternate costumes, with exception of the Mii Fighters, and that they would not have to be unlocked through repeated tasks.<ref>[http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/13/wii-u-and-3ds-smash-bros-will-not-have-cross-platform-play-wil/ Joystiq: "No cross-platform play for Smash Bros on 3DS and Wii U"]</ref>

The options for customizing movesets appear in the form of "Custom parts", which come in multiple types:


*'''[[Equipment]]:''' Collected through the games' numerous game modes, these items can be equipped to characters to boost three potential stats: speed, attack, and defense. Some of these items may be identical in appearance in menus, but offer different stat boosts. They do not affect the appearance of fighters in-game.

*'''[[Alternate costume (SSB4)/Mii Fighter#Headgear|Headgear]]:''' Head accessories for Miis that behave similarly to outfits.

*'''[[Alternate costume (SSB4)/Mii Fighter|Outfits]]:''' Can be used to customize the outfits and accessories of Mii Fighters. Costume parts can be earned from Classic Mode and, in the 3DS game, Smash Run. Some costumes also alter the appearance of the weapon held by Swordfighters and Gunners (such as a leather bodysuit changing a Swordfighter's sword into a beam sword, or a tuxedo giving a Gunner's arm-cannon a smaller, sleeker appearance). Most costumes are exclusive to a particular class of Mii Fighter.

*'''[[Power]]s:''' Assorted powers that only take effect in [[Smash Run]]. A similar system was earlier used in ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}''. All powers have multiple levels; higher levels grant a greater number and/or more effective uses, but take up more of the total weight limit<ref>[https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAABnUYoEaGj7jw Miiverse Director's Room Post August 15th]</ref>. The total weight limit is determined by a character's weight and speed, including equipment affecting their speed; the faster and lighter they are, the lower the weight limit. However, all downloadable characters can carry a total weight of 25. That gives {{SSB4|Roy}} an advantage over {{SSB4|Marth}} and {{SSB4|Lucina}}, who can carry only 23 for example.
