The already mentioned Brood War would be my pick. It is so coneccted with the original StarCraft that when someone mentions StarCraft they pretty much always mean the full package. Same goes for Lord of Destruction for Diablo 2 and probably even The Frozen throne for Warcraft 3. All from Blizzard at a time when they dropped bomb after bomb of masterpieces onto the gaming world.

What is considered an expansion? is something like the character packs fot Smash ultimate considered expansion packs? Or does it need to be more substantial in the story sense of the game?

I agree, Frozen throne and Starcraft DLC are definitely up there. 

Nah, I don't think packs are expansions, they are add ons, much like TW3 done a load of free side quests after release but they were small. A level DLC is different than an expansion but since we are talking about 90's games expansions it's so hard to define cause they were more about recreating that game and adding to it. I can't tell if something like war of the chosen which recreates the game with added content is easily said to be an expansion. The line is so blurry between games.
