The basic gameplay of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is reprised, with some tweaks to characters' moves and a number of Final Smashes being altered. This game brings back every character from the past games, including the characters who were only available as DLC in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|the previous installment]], and it also adds more characters for a total of 74 playable characters. Out of those, the player starts off with only eight characters to play as (specifically, the same starting roster from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'').

The only characters from previous games to receive that label are [[Lucina]] and [[Dark Pit]]. [[Assist Trophy|Assist Trophies]] also return, and most of them are now more active parts of combat that can be defeated to damage their summoner. Assist Trophies can also appear as enemy fighters in some modes.

Release Date December 7, 2018
Rating ESRB: E 10+

Super Smash Ultimate is a fighting game that was released for the Nintendo Switch in 2018. It is the fifth installment of the Super Smash Bros. series and features every character from the previous games, in addition to newcomers.

Story

In the game's Adventure Mode, "World of Light", a being named Galeem has attacked the Trophy World with many beams of light. These beams wiped away all of the Smash Bros. fighters except for Kirby, who was able to escape. The other fighters are placed under Galeem's control, and he creates copies of them to fight as his puppet fighters while acting as hosts for displaced Spirits. Kirby goes on a quest to rescue the others and oppose Galeem.

Gameplay

The basic gameplay of the Super Smash Bros. series is reprised, with some alterations being made to characters' moves and a number of Final Smashe. This game brings nortably back every character from the past games, including the characters who were only available as DLC in the previous installment, and it also adds more characters for a total of 74 playable characters. Out of those, the player starts off with only eight characters to play as (specifically, the same starting roster from the original Super Smash Bros.). This game adds a classification of Echo Fighters, to describe characters who are nearly identical to other characters in terms of movesets and their statistics. The only characters from previous games to receive that label are Lucina and Dark Pit. Assist Trophies also return, and most of them are now more active parts of combat that can be defeated to earn points.

One new aspect of gameplay is that of Spirits. Spirits replace the collectible trophy system from past Super Smash Bros. games and also act as a successor to the sticker system from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. There are Spirits representing characters and creatures from various video games, and they can be equipped by characters to enhance their abilities. They are divided into Primary Spirits, which make a character stronger, and Support Spirits, which grant a new ability or enhance a specific statistic. There are also Master Spirits, which run different locations within Adventure Mode, and Fighter Spirits, which represent the playable fighters and have no gameplay effect.

The game has standard Super Smash Bros. modes such as Classic Mode, Adventure Mode and Training as well as Smash mode and Tourney for multiplayers. Classic Mode has been altered so that each character has a personalized route where the battles follow some sort of theme that have to do with the character and/or their original series. This game's Adventure Mode is called World of Light, and it involves navigating an overworld map and battling characters possessed by Spirits. Spirit battles involve fighting characters in special conditions that often act as some sort of reference or homage to the Spirit character. In addition to the Adventure Mode, the game also has a Spirit Board, where different potential Spirit battles are displayed, and the Spirits refresh every few minutes. The game is subject to several events where different types of Spirits are featured, and in some cases new Spirits are made available on the board.

One new multiplayer option is Squad Strike, where teams of three fighters take turns opposing each other. The game also has Mob Smash, which is the game's successor to Multi-Man Melee. Mob Smash's modes are divided into Century Smash (for fighting a hundred fighters, similar to 100-Man Melee), All-Star Smash (where all the game's fighters are fought in chronological order, as in the All-Star Mode of precious games, this time in an endless loop) and Cruel Smash (where the player fights incredibly difficult enemies).

The game has a variable-based system for unlocking characters. An unlockable character challenge will appear every time Classic Mode is cleared, or once every ten minutes upon completing matches in Vs. Mode, Mob Smash or the Spirit Board, or upon exiting Adventure Mode. When battles with new characters are lost, they will eventually appear for a rematch in a special menu option called the Challenge's Approach. The order in which unlockable characters appear depends, with different characters appear in set orders depending on which character is being played. Otherwise, characters could be unlocked by awakening them within Adventure Mode. In Adventure Mode, the player starts off with only Kirby and has to unlock the other characters. Characters unlocked within Adventure Mode carry over to the rest of the game, but the reverse is not true.

The game features up to eight players and also has online gameplay for subscribers of the Nintendo Switch Online service. It is also compatible with amiibos, which can unlock spirits and can also be used for the Figure Player system from the previous game. Ultimate will be have at least five DLC sets coming out. DLC will include new characters and stages.

Playable Characters

Only the eight original fighters from Super Smash Bros. (Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Link, Kirby, Samus, Fox and Pikachu) are available at the start of the game.
