And seeing as Smash 64 is the prequel, we can assume, since we aren't given a story for the next two games, that it's the same.
Well, the characters "leave their games."

It was a question not a statement
Still, false until proven true.

There is, but it's a joke character that takes massive damage every time it steps on you.

I think that's just a more unique way to explain the concept of Smash.
In the end it's fact over opinion.

Except it's not fact. It's a website using figurative language to explain what Smash is.
The website says they literally leave their games.

...It doesn't say literally.
I know that, but you don't seem to understand. They leave the games!

Again, I'm pretty sure that's just figurative language.

Just because it's on the website doesn't mean it's canon or Word of God in regards to the actual story or plot. It may as well have just said "We've taken a bunch of Nintendo characters from different games and put them in Smash!" which, while it wouldn't be inaccurate, doesn't really say much of anything about the story.
What does 'leave their games' mean anyways? Alternate universes? Do they hop out of a CD and enter the 'real world'? Even then there's so much room for debate on something that is shaky to begin with.

Leave the games as in "leaving the games for the tournament." The Smash 4 tournament.
I'm almost positive that anyone at Nintendo would tell you that it's up to the player. The game is made for head canon, so I think it should be more a question of "what do you think?" as opposed to "THIS IS FACT. MUST AGREE."
Myself, I think of it as a Dissidia/Mortal Kombat situation where the characters are gathered together in the Smash Realm to compete and such. As such, I come up with all kinds of fun situations of characters adventuring together who would otherwise never interact (RIP, SSE...)

This. I would buy this over any other explanation. They don't even talk in SSE, so what the characters are thinking is often left up to the viewer.

I like to believe there is a door to the SSB Universe that everyone goes through to meet up.
Unfortunately Ridley cannot fit in said door.

So that's what they mean about him being too big.
Personally I go for the "living trophies" theory. The are trophies in an alternate universe that is completely separate from their home games.

Master Hand wants to take over the multiversem so he brings the greatest combatants from each universe together in a "tournament" by shooting invitations out of his fingers into their mailboxes. His plan is to have everyone kill each other for him, so that once they're all gone, the universes won't have anyone to protect them, and they'll all fall into darkness. How was that?
