SPECIAL) is the fifth entry in the Super Smash Bros. series of platform fighting games, set to release on December 7th, 2018 for the Nintendo Switch.

Fighters

This article or section is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it's being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible. No reason has been specified. |
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 72 fighters have been confirmed for the game (Pokémon Trainer counts as one; number includes Echo Fighters.)[1]
Currently, 9 newcomers have been revealed, with more expected to be shown before the release. Unlike previous titles, every new fighter and echo will be revealed before launch day.
Despite the massive roster, a new game will start the unknown reader off with only the fighters from the original Super Smash Bros., although it is currently unknown if it will be the original 8 or the full roster of 12 fighters, with the rest being unlockable.

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.
He also receives some changes in his moveset:
- He once again has his Burning dash attack from Melee.
- His neutral B, 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 projectiles in the Super Smash Bros. series.
Meta Knight

King Dedede returns in this title, as an unlockable fighter. His move-set appears relatively unchanged, but he now has the ability to inhale his Gordos after tossing them, then spit them back out again.
His 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. See all stages on the official website list.
All stages are available from the beginning and available for 8-Player Smash. In addition, all stages have Battlefield form (Battlefield-like layout) and Ω form (Final Destination-like layout).
New to the series is a stage option called 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 stages from older titles have been returning. These include the following in chronological order:
Kirby music
The Kirby series has 39 confirmed stage music tracks so far, which can be played in any stage of the Kirby series too. (This also applies to other series. Stages of a series can now play all tracks from the same series.)
Currently revealed Kirby music includes:
| Track | From | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Green Greens | Kirby's Dream Land | Remix (Melee) |
| Meta Knight's Revenge | Kirby Super Star | Remix (Brawl) |
| King Dedede's Theme | Kirby's Dream Land | Remix (Brawl) |
| City Trial | Kirby Air Ride | Remix (Ultimate) |

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. After being picked up, it will explodes 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
- Maxim Tomato
- Star Rod
- Warp Star
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 Cook Kirby, Kirby's Final Smash in Brawl.
- Knuckle Joe
Trophies
No information is known yet about trophies in this title.
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 iQue Player in 2005.
- In Challenger Approaching Intro Video, Meta Knight appears together with Mewtwo. This could be a reference to the similar Japanese titles of Revenge of Meta Knight (メタナイトの逆襲) and Pokemon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back (ミュウツーの逆襲), 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 Peach and 13' Daisy). In the English version, they are labeled ɛ, which stands for echo (e.g. 13 Peach and 13ɛ Daisy).
- Pit's new Final Smash, the 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 GameCube Controller
