'''Downloadable content''', usually abbreviated as '''DLC''', is additional content available to download after the games' launch. DLC was first confirmed for ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' in the {{forwiiu}} 50-Fact Extravaganza [[Nintendo Direct]]. Downloadable content for the game includes new playable [[characters]], [[stages]], and even new features. Paid content can be found for purchase on the Nintendo eShop in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', and in an in-game DLC shop in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS''.

DLC that has not been purchased in an updated version is still technically installed but locked, and thus can be played with indirectly. "[[With Anyone]]", "[[With Friends]]", in local ''3DS'' [[Versus]], and using [[amiibo]] as FPs are examples of this. [[Replays]] with unpurchased content can be viewed as normal.
