===Smash Ultimate===
===Smash Ultimate===
The ''Smash'' invitation is much more prevalent in promotion for ''Ultimate'' characters, especially the trailers for [[Downloadable content (SSBU)‎|DLC]] characters. It first appeared in [[Isabelle (SSBU)|Isabelle's]] trailer, in which Pete (a pelican mailman from the [[Animal Crossing]] universe) delivers one to her. Later, in [[Joker (SSBU)|Joker's]] first trailer, he is seen running through {{s|wikipedia|The Game Awards 2018}} while his teammates comment on what he may be there for. As it's shortly revealed, he in fact arrived to steal a Smash invitation. It reappears at the beginning of Joker's second trailer. Most recently, it had made an appearance in [[Terry (SSBU)|Terry Bogard's]] reveal trailer, signed with a S (most likely standing for Sakurai). In it, multiple characters from the ''King of Fighters'' series attempt to grab it: Kyo Kusanagi, Ryo Sakazaki, Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi, Geese Howard, Nakoruru via her hawk Mamahaha, and Iori Yagami. It finally lands on the ground, allowing Terry to take it.

**It was even later confirmed by Nintendo that Joker had [https://twitter.com/nintendoamerica/status/1070917067799326720 stolen a Smash invitation potentially for someone else].

*According to Terry's trailer, it is signed with the letter S, presumably standing for [[Masahiro Sakurai]]. The contents of the letter, however, are exclusively seen in Terry's trailer, and are in reference to the opening of ''King of Fighters '94'', so it is unknown if the contents potentially change per invitation.
