List of taunts (SSBU)

The following is a list of all taunts in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Taunts are unique to every character, but with the exception of Pokémon Trainer and Byleth, do not change when selecting an alternate costume. 
====
*Up taunt: Banjo stretches and Kazooie appears out of his backpack, yawning. Based on an idle animation from Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.
*Side taunt: Kazooie pops out of Banjo's backpack and the duo looks at each other, then Banjo strikes a thumbs up while Kazooie happily opens her wings. Based on their introductory pose in the opening sequence of Banjo-Kazooie.

Identical to the latter half of the animation seen when all ten Jiggies in a level are collected or when a Note Door is unlocked in Banjo-Kazooie.

Snake will hold a pose for a few seconds, then a conversation between Snake and his support team will begin. This can only be done once each round and if the player is hit while Snake is holding his pose before the conversation starts, it is canceled. However, the player can be hit while the conversation is going, though the conversation ends if Snake is KO'd, which, in a nod to the Metal Gear Solid game over screens, causes the character Snake was talking with to shout "SNAAAAAAAAKE!!". It can be done with any number of other players on the screen; if there is more than one opponent, the game will randomly choose one to talk about.
