SmashWiki was created from the merger of two separate wikis. The first wiki, also named SmashWiki, was founded on {{sbw|SmashBoards}} by Gideon; it was created in December 2005 (the earliest known edit being August 12, 2006) and it was officially launched on March 5, 2007. The second wiki, the Super Smash Bros. Wiki, was founded on Wikia by Alexir55 on April 2, 2007. On February 29, 2008, the two wikis merged, taking the name SmashWiki but being hosted on Wikia.

In September 2010, due to disagreements with Wikia, as with many other NIWA members such as [[Pikipedia]], [[Pikmin Fanon]], [[F-Zero Wiki]] and [[Golden Sun Universe]], SmashWiki was moved to its current domain as an independent wiki with the help of [[Super Mario Wiki]] head Porplemontage, with the wiki remaining on Wikia being renamed SmashWikia (later renamed Smashpedia in September 2013).
