'''DLC Spirits''' is a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' mode added in update {{SSBU|3.0.0}} where players can collect [[Spirits]] based on each respectable [[Downloadable_content_(SSBU)#Challenger_Packs|Challenger Pack]], with the background and music of the menu of each DLC Spirit board being themed after it.

'''DLC Spirits''' is a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' mode added in [[List of updates (SSBU)#3.0.0|Version 3.0.0]] where players can collect [[spirit]]s based on each respective [[Downloadable_content_(SSBU)#Challenger_Packs|Challenger Pack]], with the background and music of the menu of each DLC Spirit Board being themed after it.


Unlike the [[Spirit Board]], Spirit battles in this mode can be played as many times as the player wants, and if the player defeats a spirit, then they get it right away instead of trying to shoot it. These boards can also have multiple pages if there are more than eight spirits from a given board (excluding the [[Enhanceable Spirit|Enhanced Spirits]]).  
Unlike the [[Spirit Board]], Spirit Battles in this mode can be played as many times as the player wants, and if the player defeats a spirit, they get it right away instead of having to shoot it, much like in [[World of Light]]. These boards can also have multiple pages if there are more than eight spirits in a given board (excluding [[Enhanceable spirit|enhanced spirits]]).


In 3.0.0, the DLC Spirits button originally went straight to the ''Persona 5'''s Spirit Board, but starting with update 4.0.0, the selection was changed to a menu containing the various Spirit Boards for each Challenger Pack of Fighters Pass Vol. 1, with the options for the unreleased boards being labeled as "COMING SOON". The only way to access spirits on the DLC boards without the DLC being purchased is by spending gold on them in the Vault [[Shop]]. Furthermore, it is impossible to play these spirit battles elsewhere.
In 3.0.0, the DLC Spirits button originally went straight to ''Persona'''s Spirit Board, but starting with [[List of updates (SSBU)#4.0.0|Version 4.0.0]], the selection was changed to a menu containing the various Spirit Boards for each Challenger Pack of Fighters Pass Vol. 1 & 2, with the options for the unreleased boards being labeled as "COMING SOON". Starting with [[List of updates (SSBU)#8.0.0|Version 8.0.0]], the menu was expanded to two columns with content from Fighters Pass Vol. 1 appearing on the left column and Vol. 2 appearing on the right column. The only way to access spirits exclusive to the DLC boards without the DLC being purchased is by spending Gold on them in the [[Vault]] [[Shop]] or finishing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with any fighter, although their Spirit Battles cannot be [[rematch]]ed in the {{h2|Inventory|Spirit List}}.


Completing all the spirit battles on a board will reward the player with 10,000 Gold.
Completing all the Spirit Battles on a board will reward the player with 10,000 {{b|Gold|collectible}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Every DLC Spirit board contains one Support Spirit of the Legend-class.  
*''Tekken'' is the only DLC spirit board that does not contain a support spirit of the Legend-class.
**Each of these Spirits contains a unique ability not featured on any other Spirit in the game.
**Each of these spirits contains a unique ability not featured on any other spirit in the game including Heihachi Mishima's Primary spirit trait.
*''Dragon Quest'' is the only DLC Spirit board to have had a Spirit added to its board after its release (Tockles).
*''Xenoblade Chronicles'' is the only DLC Spirit Board to contain more than one spirit of the Legend-class; Malos and Pneuma.
*''Banjo-Kazooie'' is the only DLC Spirit board:
**It is also the only DLC Spirit Board that doesn't use a song from its corresponding Challenger Pack as its menu music.
**Where the menu’s music is a remix.
*''Persona'' is the only DLC Spirit Board which contains recycled artwork, with Morgana appearing in both the Morgana and Phantom Thieves of Heart Spirit Battle.
**That contains no Primary Attack type Spirits.
*''Dragon Quest'' is the only DLC Spirit Board to have had a spirit added to its board after its release (Tockles).
**To have Spirit artwork specifically created for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', similar to a handful of the [[List of spirits (Castlevania series)|''Castlevania'' spirits]].
*''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards to have spirit artwork specifically created for ''[[Ultimate]]'', similar to a handful of the [[List of spirits (Castlevania series)|''Castlevania'' spirits]].
*''Fatal Fury'' is the only DLC Spirit board:
**However, Pneuma's spirit artwork was made by Masatsugu Saito due to Pneuma herself lacking a full-size portrait in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'', while the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' DLC Spirit board spirits (minus Mumbo Jumbo and Jiggy) used renders based on their models from [[Spiral Mountain]].
*''Fatal Fury'' is the only DLC Spirit Board:
**To feature spirits outside of its universe.
**To feature spirits outside of its universe.
**To have no two spirit battles share the same music, including the menu music.
**Whose background and music are themed around the corresponding fighter rather than a series or game.
**Whose corresponding character is not fought in any Spirit Battle.
*''ARMS'' and ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards to contain pre-existing spirits, with the spirits in question being:
**In which the Legend spirit is not the last one on the list (not counting Tockles being added after the DLC Spirit Board itself).
**Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara, and Twintelle for ''ARMS''.
***However, Geese Howard, the Spirit board's Legend spirit, is the last ''Fatal Fury'' spirit in order, as all other spirits after him are considered "Others" spirits.
**Rex, Nia, Tora, Poppi α, Mòrag, and Zeke for ''Xenoblade Chronicles''.
*''Fire Emblem'' is the only DLC Spirit board:
**Min Min, Pyra, and Mythra were left out due to already being fighters.
**Where none of the spirit battles feature {{SSBU|King Dedede}} as a puppet fighter.
**Some of these spirits may still appear on the regular Spirit Board. Of note, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara and Poppi α did not have Spirit Battles before the release of their corresponding DLC Spirit Boards, and could only be obtained via summoning.
**Based on a pre-existing primary [[universe]].
*''Dragon Quest'', ''Banjo-Kazooie'', and ''Kingdom Hearts'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards to have only one page of spirits, given they have no more than eight spirits on the board.
**Which does not contain any unique background artwork, simply displaying an image of the Cathedral of [[Garreg Mach Monastery]].
*''Fatal Fury'' and ''ARMS'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards to not feature the Challenger Pack's corresponding stage as the background, instead featuring West Albuquerque from ''Fatal Fury 2'' and a poster containing multiple ARMS respectively.
*''ARMS'' is the only DLC Spirit board to contain pre-existing Spirits, with the Spirits in question being Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara and Twintelle.
*''Fatal Fury'' and ''Final Fantasy'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards whose respective fighters do not take part in any Spirit Battles therein.
*''Fatal Fury'', ''ARMS'', ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' and ''Tekken'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards to have no two Spirit Battles share the same music, including the menu music.
**Conversely, the ''Persona'' Spirit Board has six Spirit Battles that use ''Last Surprise'' as their music, the most of any DLC Spirit Board.
*The art representing the ''Fatal Fury'' Spirit Board on the DLC Spirits selection screen repurposes the fireball from Mario's ''SSB4'' render.
*The ''Minecraft'' Spirit Board's background shows a rotating panorama of a ''Minecraft'' map, reminiscent of ''Minecraft''{{'}}s title screen as of the 2019 Village & Pillage update.
*While most of the contents of Challenger Pack 8 were available via the [[Sephiroth Challenge]] starting from December 17, 2020, its corresponding spirits were not released until Challenger Pack 8's official release on December 22, 2020.
