The Super Smash Brothers Announcer parodies stem from the distinct, high-energy vocal performances of the series' announcers, most notably Xander Mobus from Smash 4 and Ultimate. Fans began using the dramatic 'A New Challenger Approaches!' splash screen and the announcer's booming voice to introduce unconventional characters or mundane objects as if they were joining the roster. These parodies often appear in video form with sound effects or as image macros featuring the iconic font and stylized backgrounds. The humor lies in the extreme contrast between the epic presentation and the absurdity of the fighter being introduced, making it a staple of gaming culture memes.
