[[File:Ridley Trailer.png|thumb|250px|"A Piercing Screech" trailer.]]Ridley's trailer, titled "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-v88jEmkYM A Piercing Screech]" ({{ja|狩猟の魔爪|Shuryō no Matsume}}, ''Demon Claws of the Hunt''), was first shown at the conclusion of Nintendo's E3 2018 video presentation on June 12th. The trailer opens with a dark room with a spaceship aesthetic. In this room, [[Samus]], [[Mega Man]] and Mario are seen walking cautiously on a narrow bridge. Mega Man is grabbed off-screen and then pierced by a tail (and his "lost a life" sound is played), then Mario is snatched and smashed by a claw. Samus turns around, seemingly shocked, but regains her composure and readies her arm cannon, only to find Mario's hat laying on the ground.

Samus turns around, seemingly shocked, but regains her composure and readies her arm cannon, only to find Mario's hat laying on the ground. After a loud stomp, Ridley bursts out of the ground in front of Samus and lets out a screech, striking a pose as the tagline "Ridley Hits the Big Time!" appears on screen. He tauntingly twirls Mario's hat on his finger briefly before the trailer transitions to in-game footage. After Ridley uses his Final Smash on Samus, the ''Ultimate'' logo is shown on screen, and the trailer cuts back to animation. Ridley looks over the destruction before growling as he watches Samus [[Zero Suit Samus|ejecting from her suit]], leaping out from an explosive fire towards Ridley as the trailer concludes. | ||
The pose Samus takes before Ridley is revealed is heavily similar to her pose in the final shot of the ''Metroid'' segment of the ''[[Melee]]'' [[opening movie]], where she is seen fighting against Ridley. | The pose Samus takes before Ridley is revealed is heavily similar to her pose in the final shot of the ''Metroid'' segment of the ''[[Melee]]'' [[opening movie]], where she is seen fighting against Ridley. | ||

This trailer, titled [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82Q2XTJ8jWk The Last Key] ({{ja|最後のカギ|Saigo no Kagi}}, ''The Last Key''), begins with the opening cinematic freezing mid-way through. It then transitions into an image of the burning ''Smash'' insignia from Inkling's trailer, with [[Cloud]], [[Sephiroth]], and nearly every first-party fighter in ''Ultimate'' staring into it from below. The flames forming the insignia dissipate, and all the fighters promptly become [[trophies]]; one flame falls from the insignia as it disappears, which awakens Mario. He slowly approaches the flame before grabbing and throwing it forwards.

He slowly approaches the flame before grabbing and throwing it forwards. The flames dissipate to reveal the [[List of swords#Keyblade|Kingdom Key]] within, which fires a beam of light behind the fighters to reveal a Keyhole, the light from which awakens the fighters. Sora emerges from it and happily flies around the fighters with Pixie Dust; he then lands, grabs the Keyblade, and poses with his tagline, "Sora is Finally Here!", transitioning into a gameplay montage. The montage ends with Sora jumping back to the insignia room (with the flames relit) and shaking hands with Mario as the other fighters from the beginning of the trailer cheer behind him. The montage ends with the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' logo followed by "× ''Kingdom Hearts''". | ||
Sora's reveal trailer contains multiple references to the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. In particular, Mario's role in the trailer pays homage to King Mickey Mouse, who similarly briefly wields the Kingdom Key and summons Sora to save his denizens. Cloud and Sephiroth's prominent appearances in the trailer reference their respective roles in ''Kingdom Hearts'', with the latter appearing as a boss in the series' first two installments. | Sora's reveal trailer contains multiple references to the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series.

All 15 characters of the ''ARMS'' roster as well as Biff were then shown to be possibilities, and their release date was revealed to be sometime in June 2020. These characters were: [[Spring Man]] (who is represented as an [[Assist Trophy]], Mii Costume and [[spirit]] in the base game), [[Ribbon Girl]] (who appears as a Mii Costume and spirit in the base game), Min Min, Twintelle, Ninjara (all of whom are spirits in the base game), Master Mummy, Mechanica, Byte & Barq, Kid Cobra, Helix, Max Brass, Lola Pop, Misango, Springtron and Dr. Coyle. Finally, on June 22, 2020, it was revealed that the ''ARMS'' character is [[Min Min]], likely in part due to popularity and confirmed to be influenced by the request of the ''ARMS'' producer. In her Final Smash, she is joined by Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, [[Master Mummy]], [[Mechanica]], [[Twintelle]], and [[Ninjara]]; Ninjara also appears as a Mii Fighter costume. Master Mummy, Mechanica, Byte & Barq, Kid Cobra, Helix, and Max Brass were added as spirits, while all of the game's fifteen fighters, including Lola Pop, Misango, Springtron, and Dr. Coyle, appear on advertisements in the background of [[Spring Stadium]]. However, Biff does not appear in the game in any capacity. | ||
