Congratulations screen
The congratulations screen is a static image that is shown after the credits in the international version of Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee, all versions of Super Smash Bros. 4, and after the Character Roll Call in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In Super Smash Bros., the screen depicts a scene relating to the character that was used to to complete the mode, while in Melee, Brawl, and Smash 4, the screen depicts a screenshot of the character in gameplay, which is often humorous. Each character has one Congratulations screen in Super Smash Bros., from the 1P Game; three in Melee (one each for Classic, Adventure, and All-Star modes); two in Brawl (one each for Classic and All-Star modes); and two in each version of SSB4 (one each for Classic and All-Star modes). Additionally, Brawl has five Congratulations screens in Boss Battles, depending on what difficulty is chosen.

Trivia
- Luigi's congratulations screen in Super Smash Bros. is a reference to the EarthBound series, where the text SMAAAASH!! would appear when performing a critical hit.
- In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U the short video cutscene that plays after Peach's congratulation screen makes various references to Princess Daisy. In one scene, Peach in her Daisy color scheme is shown grabbing Luigi, and in another scene, Peach along with another Peach in Daisy's color scheme are shown floating away from a Chain Chomp together.
- In Brawl, there is a different font used for "Congratulations!" depending on the universe.
- In SSB4, four different fonts are used for the word "Congratulations!":
- Characters from the Mario universe and its sub-universes use the font used for large text in newer Mario games.
- Ryu uses a unique serif font in all capital letters, not seen elsewhere in the game.
- More realistic characters use a serif font, used for character names on the character selection screen.
- Less realistic characters use the blocky font used for large text in SSB4 (this same font was used for minor purposes in the previous three games).
- Notably, Palutena uses the "realistic" font while the other Kid Icarus characters do not. This same distinction between realistic and unrealistic characters is used for the sound made when tripping; Meta Knight uses the "unrealistic" font but makes the "realistic" tripping sound, while the opposite is true for R.O.B.
- Some congratulations screens in Smash 4 are references/nods to other media:
- Lucario's Wii U Classic congratulations screen makes a reference to how, in the Gen VI Pokemon games, Mega Evolution causes drastic changes to size and status.
- Lucario's Wii U All-Star congratulations screen is a reference to a scene in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, where Lucario is offered some chocolate by Max.
- Sonic's Wii U All-Star congratulations screen is a reference to Sonic Unleashed, in which nighttime would transform him into Sonic the Werehog.
- Pit's Wii U Classic congratulations screen is a reference to Lord of the Underworld, the twenty-third chapter of Kid Icarus: Uprising, in which he equips the Three Sacred Treasures at the start of the chapter.
- Pit's Wii U All-Star congratulations screen is a reference to Magnus and the Dark Lord, the second chapter of Kid Icarus: Uprising, in which he and Magnus team up to defeat Dark Lord Gaol (the boss of said chapter).
- It is also worth noting that, while Palutena is present in said image, she is absent in the chapter (save for dialogue).
- Dark Pit's Wii U All-Star congratulations screen is probably a reference to the ending of Kid Icarus: Uprising, where he and Pit are shown flying off into the sunset.
- Ike's Wii U All-Star congratulations screen is a reference to Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, in which one conversation reveals he has a large appetite and deeply enjoys steak and ribs.
- Lucina's Wii U Classic Mode congratulations screen is a reference to boxart for Fire Emblem: Awakening.
- Link's Wii U All-Star congratulations screen is a reference to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, as one of the forms he could take in said game was a fairy.
- Mario's 3DS All-Star congratulations screen is a parody of a scene from the 2002 Spider-Man film.
- Zero Suit Samus's Wii U All-Star congratulations screen is a reference to SEGA's Bayonetta series.
- Shulk's Wii U All-Star congratulations screen is a reference to him fighting Metal Face in Xenoblade Chronicles.
- Samus' 3DS All-Star congratulations screen is a reference to the final boss fight of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
- Bowser Jr.'s Wii U Classic congratulations screen is a reference to the Mario Kart series despite the lack of a Koopa Clown Car in those games.
- Bowser Jr.'s Wii U All-Star congratulations screen is possibly a reference to Super Mario Sunshine.
- King Dedede's Wii U Classic congratulations screen is a reference to how the Kirby series appeared monochromatically on the Game Boy before being given color in later titles.
- Diddy Kong's Wii U All-Star congratulations screen is most likely a reference to the minecart levels of the Donkey Kong Country series.
- Ryu's Wii U All-Star congratulations screen is a reference to Akuma from the Street Fighter series.
- Ryu's 3DS U Classic congratulations screen is a reference to Win Quote from the Street Fighter II.
- Samus' Wii U All-Star congratulations screen is a reference to the colored player indicators in all 4 Smash games: red, blue, yellow and green. It is also worth noting that the Samuses are even in perfect unison.
- Mega Man's Wii U All-Star congratulations screen and Mewtwo's Wii U Classic congratulations screen are actually impossible to reenact in-game.
