Series symbol

A series symbol is a distinctive iconography that represents an in-game universe in the Super Smash Bros. series and that is also present in Super Smash Flash 2. These symbols are assigned to playable characters, stages and, to an extent, items, but only if there is a representative of the first two. Within the game, the symbol can be seen next to a characters damage counter being the same color of the player's number. They can also be seen on pages of the Smash Flash DOJO!!!. There were no symbols in the original Super Smash Flash. Below is a list that compiles and explains each symbol's source origin:
