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.

References
Many congratulations screens reference other media:
- 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.
- 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 both Medusa, Queen of the Underworld, the ninth chapter, and 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 chapters.
- 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 may be a reference to Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, in which Link could use magic to take the form of a fairy.
- Mario's 3DS All-Star congratulations screen is a parody of a scene from the 2002 Spider-Man film.
- Lucas's Wii U Classic congratulations screen is a reference to the ending of Mother 3, in which a brainwashed Claus is seen perishing in his arms.
- Zero Suit Samus's Wii U All-Star congratulations screen is a reference to SEGA's Bayonetta series (Nintendo had then recently funded and published Bayonetta 2).
- Bowser Jr.'s Wii U Classic congratulations screen is a reference to the Mario Kart series.
- Bowser Jr.'s Wii U All-Star congratulations screen references New Super Mario Bros., in which Bowser is killed and turned into Dry Bowser after falling into lava.
- 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, specifically the aftermath of his Shun Goku Satsu attack, with the difference that, rather than the "heaven" kanji, the screen backdrop is the Ultra Combo Finish splash shown when Ryu's Shin Shoryuken connects.
- Ryu's 3DS Classic congratulations screen is a reference to the win screen from Street Fighter II.
- Luigi's All-Star congratulations screen in Melee is possibly a reference to a scene in Disney's 1994 film The Lion King, where Scar pushes Mufasa off a cliff.
Trivia
- 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 (except Yoshi for unknown reasons) use the font used for large text in newer Mario games.
- Ryu uses a unique serif font in all capital letters, used in the characters' names in the Street Fighter II selection screen.
- 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, Pit and Palutena use the "realistic" font while Dark Pit does 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.
- Mega Man's Wii U All-Star congratulations screen and Mewtwo's Wii U Classic congratulations screen are actually impossible to reenact in-game due to the impossibility to assign more than one equal character with the same palette.
- Link and Fox's 1P ending images in Smash 64 are the only ending images not to feature any text.
