Byleth's male and female alternate costumes
A lineup of
Sora's alternate costumes
Each character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has a set of alternate costumes that feature different colors or designs. Due to the presence of 8-Player Smash, all characters have eight costumes except for the 3 Mii Fighters, which have a variety of costume options.
Some characters possess certain alternate costumes with more drastic design differences, and are not merely recolors of their standard outfits. Mario, Piranha Plant, Wario, Link, Zero Suit Samus, Ridley, Ike, Isabelle, Little Mac, Shulk, Cloud, Bayonetta, Joker, Sephiroth, Kazuya and Sora have different outfits available; Hero's costumes represent different protagonists across the Dragon Quest series; Pikachu, Pokémon Trainer, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Robin, Corrin, Inkling, and Byleth all have male and female variants; and Olimar, Bowser Jr., and Steve have model swaps that change them into different characters with different names, complete with corresponding voice and announcer clips, though like all other alternate costumes, they bear no gameplay differences.
In Ultimate, the game loads default costume character portraits on the character selection screen first, and then loads alternate costume portraits in fighter number order, with the exceptions of transformation characters, who are loaded first. This can result in characters' alternate costume portraits not being displayed for several seconds, as the game is still loading them. This issue is alleviated on Nintendo Switch 2 due to the game leveraging the more powerful GPU to load data faster.

The red fur and blue clothing also cause him to bear a resemblance to Conker from Conker's Pocket Tales, another Rare Ltd. character. Kazooie resembles one of her four possible colors in Banjo-Tooie's Squawkmatch. She also resembles a chained breegull from Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge.

This is the only skin that changes the color of Banjo and Kazooie's eyes and Banjo's necklace, as well as changing the color pattern of his shorts.

Half of Bayonetta's costumes are based on her design from Bayonetta 2, while the other half are based on her design from Bayonetta. For the former half, she wields Love is Blue, which has blue attack trails. For the latter half, she wields Scarborough Fair, which has red attack trails, and speaks English even in the Japanese version (referencing how the original release of Bayonetta for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 did not have a Japanese dub). Her Bullet Climax has slightly different sound effects for the two different costume types.[1]
Instead of alternate color schemes, Bowser Jr.'s alternate costumes consist of the Koopalings. Bowser Jr.'s Junior Clown Car is the only one with black eyes and horizontal orange "eye paint", while the Koopalings' mass-produced Clown Cars have yellow mechanical eyes with vertical black "eye paint". Aside from Roy and Morton, whose positions are swapped, the Koopalings are listed by the order they are fought in Super Mario Bros. 3.

Half of Cloud's costumes are based on his appearance in Final Fantasy VII, while the other half are based on his "Cloudy Wolf" design from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.[6] In two of his Advent Childen costumes, his Geostigma-infected arm is covered by a sleeve, while it is exposed in the other two, revealing the red ribbon he wrapped around it in memory of Aerith Gainsborough.
As of Sephiroth's official release, Advent Children Cloud uses Omnislash Ver. 5 as his Final Smash rather than the standard Omnislash, which is mostly a cosmetic difference; however, the explosion resulting from the move's final hit has slightly different properties regarding the direction in which it launches enemies who were not caught by the rest of the move, thus technically making Cloud the only character in the game with a gameplay difference between his costumes.
Half of Corrin's costumes are male, while the other half are female.
