The ''Smash'' invitation is much more prevalent in promotion for ''Ultimate'' characters, especially within the trailers for [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|DLC]] characters. It first appeared in {{SSBU|Isabelle}}'s trailer, in which Pete (a pelican mailman from the ''[[Animal Crossing]]'' universe) delivers one to her. Later, in {{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 {{SSBU|Terry}} Bogard's reveal trailer. In it, multiple characters from ''The King of Fighters'' series attempt to grab it as it flies through the air: 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. | The ''Smash'' invitation is much more prevalent in promotion for ''Ultimate'' characters, especially within the trailers for [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|DLC]] characters.

Aside from character reveal trailers, the ''Smash'' invitation has also been used as a general motif for the game's downloadable content. This can be seen in the Japanese download card for the [[Fighters Pass]], which features an image of a ''Smash'' invitation on it's front. It is often used in relation to unrevealed downloadable characters, as can be seen in several ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' presentations and information on the game's website pertaining to downloadable content. It was also used in the September 4, 2019 [[Nintendo Direct]] to represent the confirmation of additional downloadable fighters outside of the Fighters Pass. | |||

**It was even later confirmed by Nintendo that Joker had [https://twitter.com/nintendoamerica/status/1070917067799326720 stolen his Smash invitation, potentially from someone else]. | **It was even later confirmed by Nintendo that Joker had [https://twitter.com/nintendoamerica/status/1070917067799326720 stolen his Smash invitation, potentially from 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. | *According to Terry's trailer, it is signed with the letter S, presumably standing for [[Masahiro Sakurai]].
