Content sharing

Multiple games in the series have features which allow for players to share, view and receive content using the Internet, including Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. 4, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. However, there are variations in the kinds of content shared and how players can interact with such content.
==In Super Smash Bros. Brawl==
The Smash Service was a free feature in Super Smash Bros. Brawl provided by Nintendo via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. 
Each day, a new custom stage, new screenshot, and new replay would be sent to players who had the feature enabled. They were then subsequently deleted at the end of the day. Examples of content sent over the service can be found here.
On June 30th, 2009, Nintendo stopped accepting new submissions, but continued to send out current submissions. The service was later discontinued as part of Nintendo WiFi Connection's closure on May 20th, 2014.
==In Super Smash Bros. 4==
Share was a mode in Super Smash Bros. 4 that allowed users to post photos, replay data, and data to an official server to share with other users around the world. In , players were able to share custom stages. Users were also able to share data with specific users on their 3DS or Wii U Friend List. Data uploaded to the server would be deleted after 30 days. Players could also see a gallery of the most recently uploaded photos, replays, and Mii Fighters. The gallery could be filtered by country of origin, who uploaded it (anyone, friends, or the player), Mii Fighter class, and/or mode created in (for replays).
The discontinuation of the service on November 8, 2017 affected the capabilities of Share mode. This removed the option to upload replays to YouTube, send snapshots, as well as the option to share custom stages. However, sharing replays and Mii Fighters was still possible.
On April 8, 2024, the Nintendo Network officially ceased service, ending the Share mode alongside it.Announcement
==In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate==
Shared Content is an online mode that was added in version 3.0.0 of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This mode acts similarly to Share in Super Smash Bros. 4, allowing users to share, download, and endorse content. Shareable content includes: 
*Stages created in the Stage Builder
* creations
*Replays of matches
**Videos edited from replays
Endorsing content is done by clicking a "Yeah!" button, which acts as a "like" button similar to other community sites. It also has similarities to Miiverse. Content that has recently been getting large amounts of likes is shown in a “Hot!” category, among other categories (Videos, Replays, Spectate, Mii Fighters, and Stages).
Videos have a basic play, pause, fast-forward and rewind options in Shared Content itself. However, holding down the Y button will allow players to transition to YouTube and watch the video there, as uploading videos will automatically upload it to the Nintendo YouTube channel as an unlisted video. The Nintendo Switch YouTube app needs to already be downloaded to perform this task.
Users are able to sort between content by either choosing to sort By Recommended, By Popularity, and By Date.
There are 3 options of searching for specific content: 
*By Keywords: Users type out the keywords of their choice, which will cause the search to list all content with those keywords. This has to match a word in the submission's title or the author's name.
*By Details: Users choose a category (Videos, Replays, Spectate, Mii Fighters, Stages, Creator, Gave a Yeah!), and are then given several other details to further filter their search depending on the category: for example, Replays have a "Fighter", Format" and "Stage" option to limit what characters, modes or stages are shown.
*Enter ID: Users enter the ID tag of a submission, which is shown at the bottom right beside its preview picture.
Shared content appears to feature a moderation system, put in place to disallow users from uploading potentially sensitive content, such as stages shaped in the form of inappropriate poses or prohibited imagery. Users can report other users who upload such content by clicking on the user, then clicking the report button; whether moderation is done automatically is unknown, however.
Some content uploaded to Shared Content also appears in the Smash World app, which functions as a companion to this mode accessible on smart phones and tablets.
