Peach executing a Taunt in Super Smash Bros. Melee

Taunt is a move used in the Super Smash Bros. that is typically done as a way to brag after KO-ing another player. Unlike other taunts, Luigi's down taunt (which can meteor smash opponents), Snake's taunts and Greninja's down taunt are the only ones capable of harming an opponent character, though they only do about 1% damage. Kirby's copied ability after using his Inhale will disappear after he taunts. If Samus quickly performs her taunts ↑↓↑ in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, she will turn into Zero Suit Samus instantly. Doing the same thing as Zero Suit Samus will cause her to revert back to normal Samus with her Power Suit back on.

Mario and Donkey Kong taunting with messages in the With Friends mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Wi-Fi mode.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, players are able to taunt once again, but instead of just one taunt in the previous games, nearly every character has three different taunts in this installment, except for Wario, who has four. However, during Wi-Fi mode, the taunt can be used for an even greater use. When players press one of the directions on the Control Pad during Wi-Fi mode, the characters will not only taunt, but a small speech bubble will appear above them, with a quote that the players set. Players can create any quote they want, and they can set four at one time, with each button on the Control Pad activating a different quote. However, this only works in the "With Friends" mode of Wi-Fi; in "With Anyone" mode, the taunt quotes do not work. Starting with this game, depending on the stage, certain characters can use a Smash Taunt that triggers a certain discussion

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, several taunts have been changed. For example, Mario now throws Cappy in his side taunt instead of simply taking off his cap, while the Koopalings use their wands from New Super Mario Bros. Wii in their side taunts, rather than hammers like Bowser Jr. Some returning taunts have been shortened, sped up, or simplified compared to previous installments (for example, Bayonetta's up taunt ends before she finishes the line "If you need to learn how to talk to a lady, ask your mum."), while several characters such as Marth and Zelda now have more voices while taunting.
