In the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' [[Nintendo Direct]] on November 1st, 2018, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] confirmed that paid DLC would be available for ''Ultimate''. The initial wave of content comes in the form of five '''Challenger Pack''' bundles, each containing one entirely unique fighter, one stage, and several [[music]] tracks. These bundles, which are also available through a complete pack known as the '''Fighters Pass''', had the release deadline of February 29, 2020. Additionally, {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} was available for free as a limited time early purchase bonus, and is currently available for purchase separate from the Fighters Pass. On November 6th, 2018, Sakurai announced on his Twitter account that the initial DLC line-up was finalized, and that potential fighters were proposed by Nintendo, with Sakurai passing final approval on them.<ref>https://twitter.com/Sora_Sakurai/status/1059958604818657282</ref>

===Mii Fighter costumes===

*According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Fighters Pass Vol. 2 was originally going to have five Challenger Packs as with the first Pass, but Sora's inclusion was secured after the other five fighters were already determined, resulting in an "extra" Challenger Pack.<ref>https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1450855082203901954</ref>

*Following most DLC fighter reveals, the [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site]] was mistakenly updated to add fighter slots for recently revealed fighters without removing corresponding "mystery fighter" slots, resulting in extra empty slots that never corresponded to actual unrevealed fighters.

*Banjo, Kazooie, Min Min, and Sora are the only DLC characters whose voice clips are recycled from their own games rather than recorded specifically for ''Smash'', while Piranha Plant and Steve are the only DLC fighters to not have any voice clips.

*In North America, when trailers for new Mii Fighter costumes are shown off, costumes of characters that are from a franchise that typically have M-rated installments from the ESRB only show the name of the character alongside the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' logo, rather than the logo of the franchise the character is from. This has occurred with [[Altaïr]] (''Assassin's Creed''), [[Vault Boy]] (''Fallout''), [[Travis Touchdown]] (''No More Heroes''), [[Dragonborn]] (''The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim''), [[Dante]] (''Devil May Cry''), and [[Doom Slayer]] (''Doom'').

**Four of the Mii Fighter costume reveals would additionally gain a "rated TEEN by the ESRB" notice when the character's respective logo for a series that typically has T-rated installments from the ESRB appeared, those being the [[Monster Hunter|Hunter's Mail]] and [[Rathalos#As_a_Costume|Rathalos Mail]] (both from ''Monster Hunter''), [[Lloyd Irving|Lloyd]] (''Tales of Symphonia''), and [[Shantae]] (the series of the same name, possibly referring to the games ''Shantae and the Pirate's Curse'', ''Shantae: Half-Genie Hero'' and ''Shantae and the Seven Sirens'', as the first two installments are not T-rated).

**This may be due to rating issues, which can be evidenced by how Sephiroth's page on the North American website includes a "''FINAL FANTASY VII'' RATED TEEN BY THE ESRB" message, which also applies to Pyra/Mythra and Kazuya's pages with their respective games.

**Despite that, the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' × ''Final Fantasy'' screen still appears during the [[Chocobo]] reveal, though this is likely due to the fact that the character is not tied to any specific installment.
