'''''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''''' (known in Japan as '''大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ SPECIAL''' ''Great Fray Smash Bros. SPECIAL'') is the fifth entry in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series of platform fighting games, set to release on December 7th, 2018 for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. It was first announced under the pending title '''''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch''''' on March 8th, 2018 during a Nintendo Direct, then revealed on June 12th, 2018 during Nintendo's E3 presentation.

==Fighters==
''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' features every fighter from all older games in the series, including those who appeared only in one title prior.

Currently, a total of 74 fighters have been confirmed for the base game ([[smashwiki:Pokémon Trainer (SSBU)|Pokémon Trainer]] counts as one; number includes [[smashwiki:Echo Fighter|Echo Fighter]]s.) 11 newcomers have been revealed in the base game, and DLC fighters are also in making.

Despite the massive roster, a new game will start {{realMe}} off with only the eight fighters from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', with the rest being unlockable or downloadable. However, the unlocking conditions are going to be easier and faster compared to previous games.

[[File:Kirby SSBU.png|thumb|right|200px|Kirby in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.]]
{{SmashWiki|Kirby (SSBU)}}
[[Kirby]] returns as a series veteran. Being part of the 'Perfect Attendance Crew', Kirby will be among the starter characters. He appears to retain most of his standard moves, along with his [[Final Smash]], [[Ultra Sword]].

Howver, Kirby receives some changes in his moveset:
*He once again has his [[Burning]] dash attack from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]''.
*His neutral B, [[smashwiki:Inhale (Kirby)|Inhale]], can now inhale opponent's projectiles. Then, he can either spit it back as a [[Star Bullet]] or swallow it to restore his health. This is the first time Kirby can inhale non-item projectiles in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].
{{clear}}

====Meta Knight====
[[File:Meta Knight SSBU.png|thumb|right|200px|Meta Knight in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.]]
{{SmashWiki|Meta Knight (SSBU)}}
[[Meta Knight]] returns in this title, as an unlockable fighter. His moveset appears relatively unchanged, but he receives a new [[Final Smash]] in which he obtains another pair of wings and performs a [[smashwiki:Great Aether|Great Aether]]-like aerial slash combo, similar to Upper Calibur from ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

Two of his alternate costumes give him [[Galacta Knight]] and [[Dark Meta Knight]] outfit.
{{clear}}

====King Dedede====
[[File:King Dedede SSBU.png|thumb|right|200px|King Dedede in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.]]
{{SmashWiki|King Dedede (SSBU)}}
[[King Dedede]] returns in this title, as an unlockable fighter. His moveset appears relatively unchanged, but he now has the ability to inhale his [[Gordo]]s after [[smashwiki:Gordo Throw|tossing them]], then spit them back out again. Like [[smashwiki:Kirby (SSBU)|Kirby in ''Ultimate'']], Dedede can [[smashwiki:Inhale (King Dedede)|inhale]] and spit opponent's projectiles.

King Dedede's [[Final Smash]] has changed, now involving tossing his opponent into a boxing ring, then attacking them as [[Masked Dedede]].

==Stages==
''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' has 103 confirmed stages so far, over 90 of which are returning ones from previous titles. [https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/stage/index.html See all stages on the official website list.]

All stages are available from the beginning. In addition, all stages have [[smashwiki:Battlefield form|Battlefield form]] ([[smashwiki:Battlefield|Battlefield]]-like layout) and [[smashwiki:Ω form|Ω form]] ([[smashwiki:Final Destination|Final Destination]]-like layout).

New to the series is a stage option called [[smashwiki:Stage Morph|Stage Morph]]. When this is enabled, two stages can be selected together, and they will automatically switch midbattle after a certain amount of time.

===''Kirby'' stages===
All [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] stages from older titles have been returning. These include the following in chronological order:
*[[smashwiki:Dream Land (SSB)|Dream Land]]

===''Kirby'' Items===
A number of ''Kirby'' series items appear in this title. These are as follows:
====Items====
*[[Bomber]] (new): It walks around the stage and may fall off the ledge like what it does in the ''Kirby'' series. When picked up, it will explode in 1.5 seconds. It deals more damage to fighters at the center of the explosion, but won't damage the fighter who picked it up.
*[[Dragoon]] Parts A, B, C
*[[Maxim Tomato]]
*[[Star Rod]]
*[[Superspicy Curry]]
*[[Warp Star]]

====[[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophies]]====
*[[Chef Kawasaki]] (new): He grabs fighters with his ladle, and if succesful, puts them into his Cook Pot and cooks them. Then, the cooked fighters are launched off the pot along with several food items produced. This resembles [[smashwiki:Cook Kirby|Cook Kirby]], [[smashwiki:Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby]]'s [[smashwiki:Final Smash|Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]''.
*[[Knuckle Joe]]
*[[Nightmare]]

===Spirits===
'''Spirits''' is the new mode in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. In this mode, {{realMe}} can collect '''Spirits''' in the form of their official illustrations and use them in Spirits battles.

Spirits can be equipped to a fighter, which function like [[smashwiki:Sticker|Sticker]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]''. Spirits also replace the collectible [[smashwiki:Trophy|Trophies]] in previous titles. Spirits can be obtained in various ways, including the Adventure Mode, the Spirits Board, summoning, and the Shop.

====Types of Spirits====
There are three kinds of Spirits: '''Primary''', '''Support''' and '''Fighter'''. Their strength and rarity are ranked by Classes, from low to high: '''Novice''' (1 star), '''Advanced''' (2 stars; known as '''Hope''' in the Japanese version), '''Ace''' (3 Stars) and '''Legend''' (4 Stars).

'''Primary Spirits''' enhance the fighter's strength. They are divided into four types: '''{{color|red|Attack}}''', '''{{color|green|Grab}}''', '''{{color|blue|Shield}}''' and '''{{color|purple|Neutral}}'''<sup>[conjectual]</sup>. Types have advantage against one another (except Neutral): Attack>Grab>Shield>Attack. Primary Spirits have 0-3 slots to equip Support Spirits and gain additional skills. Some Primary Spirits have their own skills as well. Primary Spirits can gain experience and level up. Some of them can be '''enhanced''' into new forms when reaching Lv.99 the maximum level. Enhanced forms have increased strength and new skills (if any), but their level will be reset to 1.

'''Support Spirits''' give additional skills to the Primary Spirit. They cost 1 or more slots.

'''Fighter Spirits''' feature the main fighters. They cannot be used in the Spirits Mode. Thus, they serve only as collections.

====Adventure Mode====
{{SmashWiki|Adventure Mode: World of Light}}
{{construction}}
The Adventure Mode of this title is called '''World of Light'''. In this mode, all characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' universe, except [[Kirby]], have been turned into Spirits by '''[[Smashwiki:Galeem|Galeem]]''' the ultimate enemy. {{realMe}} starts the game with Kirby and saves the Spirits and the world.

====Spirits Board====
{{construction}}
'''Spirits Board'''<sup>[conjectual]</sup> is a mode to obtain Spirits outside of the Adventure Mode. It is a bulletin board with 10 random quests. Each quest requires {{realMe}} to defeat a fighter possessed by a Spirit, with special rules like the [[smashwiki:Event match|Event match]]es in previous titles.

After defeating the possessed fighter, {{realMe}} has to play a minigame to shoot the the possessed fighter with a special gun. The possessed fighter has a rotating shield. If the gun hits the fighter, {{realMe}} can obtain the Spirit; if it hits the shield, {{realMe}} loses the minigame. However, broken shields will remain in rematches so {{realMe}} will have a better chance to win next time. In addition, there are items that can destroy part of the shield or slow down its rotation.

Each quest has a time limit to accept (rarer Spirits have longer time limits), and when the time limit is over, they will be replaced by new random quests. When a quest is finished, there will be a timer for respawn as well. There are items that can shuffle the quests or skip the respawn cooldown.

==Trivia==
*This is the second ''Super Smash Bros.'' title with official Chinese support. The first one is the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', localized and released on [[nwiki:iQue Player|iQue Player]] in 2005.
*In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YmIl3jA758 Challenger Approaching Intro Video], [[Meta Knight]] appears together with [[bulbapedia:Mewtwo|Mewtwo]]. This could be a reference to the similar Japanese titles of ''[[Revenge of Meta Knight]]'' ('''メタナイトの<u>逆襲</u>''') and ''[[bulbapedia:M01|Pokemon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' ('''ミュウツーの<u>逆襲</u>'''), both depicting them as the main antagonist.
*In the Japanese and Chinese versions, Echo Fighters are called '''Dash Fighters''' and are labeled with the dash punctuation mark in their number (e.g. 13 [[smashwiki:Peach (SSBU)|Peach]] and 13<nowiki>'</nowiki> [[smashwiki:Daisy (SSBU)|Daisy]]). In the English version, they are labeled <sup>ɛ</sup>, which stands for ''<u>e</u>cho'' (e.g. 13 Peach and 13<sup>ɛ</sup> Daisy).
*[[smashwiki:Pit (SSBU)|Pit]]'s new [[smashwiki:Final Smash|Final Smash]], the [[smashwiki:Lightning Chariot|Lightning Chariot]], is similar to how the [[Dragoon]] is used in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. The Lightning Chariot strikes from the back while the Dragoon strikes from the front.
*Several ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' accessories will also be released:
**Nintendo Switch ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' Set ([[Nintendo Switch]] system + ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' branded Joy-Con controllers and dock + a download code for the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' game)
**''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' Special Edition Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
**''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' Edition [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] Controller
