An '''unlockable character''' (also referred to as a '''secret character''' or '''hidden character''', and in-game as '''challengers''', or '''newcomers''' in the N64 game's [[Backup Clear]] menu) is one that is not available at the start of the game (unlike a [[starter character]]), but instead must be received in-game (unlike [[downloadable character]]s) through other means.

Unique criteria must be met in order to unlock each character, as outlined below. Once such criteria are met, the challenger will appear the next time the player returns to the menu. If the player self destructs in the subsequent battle, a [[Notice|message]] will appear congratulating them for unlocking the new fighter.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', the character select screen displayed placeholders for not yet unlocked characters. This was changed in ''[[Melee]]'', where the [[clone]]s didn't have placeholders prior to unlocking, with their portraits simply appearing afterward. The placeholder slots were completely removed from ''[[Brawl]]'' onwards.
