[[File:Codec Brawl.png|thumb|200px|Snake's codec regarding the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}} begins in ''Ultimate''.]]

In ''Ultimate'', the Codec Conversations from ''Brawl'' return alongside {{SSBU|Snake}} and Shadow Moses Island. Unlike Palutena's Guidance, no new Codec Conversations were created for characters not present in ''Brawl'' and no existing ones aside from Link's were changed or updated. {{s|wikipedia|Takeshi Aono}}, Roy Campbell's Japanese voice actor, passed away in 2012 from a stroke, so, out of respect for Aono, future ''Metal Gear'' titles do not feature the character.<ref>http://www.twitlonger.com/show/gu57f6</ref> This is likely why no new Codecs were recorded, instead simply reusing the conversations already present in ''Brawl''; however, an official reason has yet to be provided.

If he tries to perform the Smash Taunt in a match where no other participants were playable in ''Brawl'', Snakee will simply perform his regular taunt. It cannot be performed on the [[Ω form]] nor [[Battlefield form]] of Shadow Moses Island, either. If [[Stage Morph]] is on and a codec is activated, the morph will be delayed until the conversation ends.

Note: While what exactly King Dedede is supposed to be has never been stated, the common assumption among fans is that he is some sort of penguin, hence Snake's asking about the subject. (Coincidentally, in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', King Dedede is given a black alternate costume that makes him resemble a great penguin.)

:'''Colonel:''' Mario made his [[Donkey Kong (arcade game)|first appearance]] in 1981, and since then, he's become a worldwide phenomenon. There's probably not a single person who doesn't know Mario. He's that famous.

:'''Colonel:''' Exactly. He can use teleportation, levitation, [[PK Fire|pyrokinesis]], and [[PK|psychokinesis]].

Note: Psycho Mantis, a Russian renegade FOXHOUND member, appears in ''Metal Gear Solid'' as a boss. Like Ness, Psycho Mantis uses psychic powers to create devastating attacks. Snake's enquiry about mind reading refers to Psycho Mantis' main ability, which involves using telepathy to predict his opponent's attacks. In the game, his "mind reading" had the game read the player's memory card, and reference games the player has played before fighting him (in the original version, these games are ''{{s|wikipedia|Azure Dreams}}'', ''{{iw|wikipedia|Suikoden|video game}}'', ''{{s|wikipedia|Castlevania: Symphony of the Night}}'', ''{{s|wikipedia|Vandal Hearts}}'', and, in the Japanese version of the game, ''{{s|wikipedia|Policenauts}}'' and ''{{s|wikipedia|Tokimeki Memorial}}'' - notably, all games published by Konami like ''Metal Gear Solid''; in the GameCube remake, the game list is changed to ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Sunshine}}'', ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}'', ''[[wikipedia:Eternal Darkness|Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem]]'', and, notably, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''). He also used his telepathy to predict the player's move inputs on their controller. To prevent this, the player will need to plug their controller into the player 2 slot.  

:'''Mei Ling:''' Snake, have you heard of the ancient Chinese story, "The Vain Ocean of Wealth and Splendor" from the Zhen Zhong Ji?

Note: Snake's comment about Pit's "Game Overs" could be poking fun at ''Kid Icarus''{{'}} somewhat infamous difficulty.

In ''Ultimate'', like Jigglypuff's, this codec remains unchanged, which causes Otacon to still refer to the game as "''Brawl''". However, the "the" in "Sonic the Hedgehog" is no longer capitalised.

Note: Snake's comment "kind of strange for a wolf to have friends" seems a bit odd, since wolves are famous for hunting in packs, although some species do keep to themselves. It's most likely a reference to Sniper Wolf, a ''Metal Gear Solid'' villian who, unlike other snipers, could shoot at Snake without help from a spotter. He could also be thinking of him as a "lone wolf".

**The {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}'s codec works regardless of gender, though the conversation uses masculine pronouns even regarding the female trainer.

**The codec for {{SSBU|Olimar}} will still activate even if the selected costume is [[Alph]], despite the two being entirely separate characters. The conversation still refers to Olimar by name.
