PlatinumGames (プラチナゲームズ株式会社) is an independent Japanese video game studio. Formed from the remnants of now-defunct Capcom subsidiary Clover Studio, they have developed a range of action-based titles for other publishers, such as the original Bayonetta for Sega, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance for Konami, NieR: Automata for Square Enix, Ninja Gaiden 4 for Koei Tecmo, and several titles for Nintendo: the Bayonetta sequels, The Wonderful 101, Star Fox Zero, Star Fox Guard, and Astral Chain. The company has since explored initiatives in self-publishing, and acquired The Wonderful 101's trademark from Nintendo.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

In the final Super Smash Bros. video presentation, it was announced that Bayonetta would be a playable character, bringing in a stage based on the iconic opening scene from the first Bayonetta game, several music tracks from both Bayonetta games, and several trophies along with her.

The Wonderful 101 saw two music tracks - "ST01: Roll Out, Wonderful 100!" and "Jergingha - Planet Destruction Form" - and trophies of each Wonder One from the game in the base version of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Bayonetta returns as a playable character, as do Umbra Clock Tower and its stage music. Rodin also appears as an Assist Trophy along with several spirits from the Bayonetta series.

"ST01: Roll Out, Wonderful 100!" and "Jergingha - Planet Destruction Form" return from The Wonderful 101, along with Wonder-Red and Wonder-Blue appearing as Spirits.

Four additional spirits from Astral Chain debuted in Ultimate through a Spirit Board event.

Star Fox series content in Ultimate draws largely from Star Fox Zero, including directly ported music, spirit artwork, and updated designs for Star Fox series characters and stages.

Raiden's spirit uses his design from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, while Gray Fox's spirit artwork uses artwork from its DLC content.

In-house composer Hiroshi Yamaguchi was brought in to do the "Map Page/Bonus Level (Remix)" arrangement and the former composer of PlatinumGames, Masami Ueda, arranged "Dance of Gold", "Theme of Solid Snake", and "Banquet of Nature - SAMURAI SHODOWN".
