The icons for Fighters Pass Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.

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, 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.[1]

During the Nintendo Direct on September 4th, 2019, Nintendo revealed that more DLC fighters were set to be in production after the first Fighters Pass, due to Ultimate's strong sales.[2] As with before, Nintendo proposed the potential fighters and Sakurai passed final approval.[3] On January 16th, 2020, Fighters Pass Vol. 2 was announced alongside Byleth, with the previous Fighters Pass retroactively being dubbed Vol. 1.[4] The Pass includes six Challenger Packs; just like in Vol. 1, each pack contains one fighter, one stage, and several music tracks.[5][6] Both Byleth and Vol. 2 were made available for purchase on January 28th, 2020. These six packs had the release deadline of December 31st, 2021. According to Sakurai, this is planned to be the last DLC released for Ultimate.[7] He also expressed caution that the DLC characters for the Fighters Pass Vol. 2 could face delay or that development could be stopped indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic; although development continued through remote working[8][9] and ultimately went smoothly, without problems[10] and concluded on October 18th, 2021. Fighters Pass Vol. 2 was originally planned to have five fighters, like the first pass, but was increased to six when Sora's inclusion was successfully negotiated for.[11]

Updates

Updates to the game are downloadable at no extra cost. In order to use DLC and access online modes, the game must be updated to the latest version, which can be done automatically by starting the game from the system's Home Menu, or manually triggered from the Switch's Home Menu. Most updates also adjust game balance and mechanics, while fixing glitches and other errors as well. Changelogs for all updates are available at the links above.

As with any other game, DLC data is added via free updates. Completing a transaction to receive DLC is merely a "ticket" to grant access to said content. What this means is that DLC not purchased in an updated version is still technically installed but locked, and thus is accessible indirectly. Content that is locked can be seen and played against with opponents connecting via a system that has paid for the DLC (within Wireless and Online modes). Aside from this, locked content can also be seen using amiibo as Figure Players, and saving uploaded or shared replays.

Fighters

As every veteran is in the base game and none were cut, all DLC characters are newcomers.

After awakening 10 fighters in Adventure Mode: World of Light, all downloaded DLC fighters are unlocked for use as well.

The tenth wave of Mii Fighter costumes released alongside Challenger Pack 10 on June 29, 2021 and features costumes from the The Elder Scrolls, Devil May Cry, and Shantae series, in addition to the Lloyd costume from Tales of Symphonia returning from Smash 4, making him the final third-party costume from Smash 4 to return in Ultimate. Much like Sans and Cuphead in Rounds 3 and 5 respectively, purchasing the Shantae costume includes the music track, Burning Town from Shantae: Half-Genie Hero.

Spirits

While most spirits are available for free, usually launched during Spirit Board events or with the release of a new Challenger Pack DLC, DLC fighter spirits cannot be obtained without owning their corresponding Challenger Pack. Fighter spirits can be unlocked through Classic Mode or purchased from the Shop for 300 coins. Spirits associated with an owned Challenger Pack can be fought and obtained through a special DLC Spirit Board that does not have spirits expire or use the Puppet fighter scene; otherwise, they may appear for purchase in the Vault Shop whether their corresponding Challenger Pack is owned or not. Spirits introduced in Spirit Board events are initially obtainable only for the duration of that event, and become permanently available at a later date.

During the development of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, several spirits received changes due to updates, Challenger Packs, or purchasable Mii Costumes.

Challenger Packs

Every fighter, with the exception of Piranha Plant, is bundled with a stage, music tracks, and spirits related to the fighter on a DLC Spirit Board. With the exception of fighter spirits, these DLC spirits can also be purchased from the Vault Shop even if their respective Challenger Packs are not purchased. There are five Challenger Packs in total in the Fighters Pass Vol. 1, and six in Fighters Pass Vol. 2. Compared to purchasing Challenger Packs individually, both Passes are priced at an approximately 17% discount.

Trivia

  • Piranha Plant is the only DLC character with a unique Palutena's Guidance conversation.
  • With the sole exception of Piranha Plant (referred to by its Japanese name "packun"), every downloadable fighter’s name in the code differs from that of their actual names. Joker's code name is "jack" (Arsène's code name is "doyle"), Hero's is "brave," Banjo & Kazooie's is "buddy" (with Kazooie specifically sometimes referred to as "partner"), Terry's is "dolly," Byleth's is "master," Min Min's is "tantan," Steve's is "pickel" (Creeper’s codename is "scarier"), Sephiroth's is "edge," Pyra's is "eflame," Mythra's is "elight," as a pair Pyra & Mythra's is "element" (Rex's codename is "diver"), Kazuya's is "demon" and Sora's is "trail."
  • 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.[12]
  • 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.
  • Challenger Pack 1 is the only Challenger Pack to not have a Mr. Sakurai Presents presentation, instead having a presentation similar to a traditional Nintendo Direct.
  • Challenger Packs 2 and 11 are the only Challenger Packs that do not contain any Smash remixes (excluding the victory theme in the latter).
  • Challenger Pack 4 currently holds the most music added as downloadable content in both Ultimate and SSB4's history, with a total of 50 tracks.
  • Challenger Packs 5 and 11 are the only Challenger Packs to have none of their contents revealed prior to their Mr. Sakurai Presents presentations, with all of their contents being saved for their respective Presentations. Coincidentally, they are the final Challenger Packs of their respective Fighters Passes.
    • While Challenger Packs 1 and 6 also did not reveal their contents, their fighters, Joker and a character from ARMS (later revealed to be Min Min during her presentation), were revealed prior to their presentations (at the Game Awards 2018 and a March 2020 Nintendo Direct Mini respectively).
    • Additionally, while the short presentation that contained Steve's reveal trailer was considered part of a Mr. Sakurai Presents, the longer in-depth video was released a few days after.
  • Challenger Packs 5, 8, and 9 are the only ones to include music tracks that can play in multiple stages (as their characters are from pre-existing universes that already had stages in the base game), not including Battlefield, Small Battlefield, Big Battlefield, and Final Destination.
  • Piranha Plant is the only DLC character without a cinematic Final Smash (though Pyra, Mythra, and Kazuya's start out as cinematics before ending off in normal gameplay).
  • Spring Stadium, Northern Cave, and Hollow Bastion are the only DLC stages without any visible Background characters (excluding the jumbotron in the first and the Stations of Awakening in the last).
  • 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.
  • With the exceptions of Joker, Banjo & Kazooie, and Byleth (in Japanese), all vocal DLC fighters (including Byleth in English) use their heavy knockback scream rather than their standard KO scream when KO'd by reaching 0 HP during their final stock in Stamina Mode, a trait shared with Mario and Dr. Mario from the base roster.
    • The three exceptions have a unique scream when KO'd in Stamina Mode which is not either of the aforementioned screams.
  • 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 Hunter's Mail and Rathalos Mail (both from Monster Hunter), 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).
    • Oddly, even though Altair, Vault Boy, and Travis' game logos were shown in the European versions of their trailers, this did not happen with Dragonborn, Dante or Doom Slayer, as their game logos are only shown in the Japanese versions of their trailers.
    • Persona, another series that typically has M-rated installments, did not originally follow this pattern. However, starting with Byleth's presentation, the North American versions of the Mr. Sakurai Presents presentations removed the logos of the games each of the DLC fighters hail from when showing an overview of the Fighters Passes, possibly due to Persona 5's rating.
      • Later in 2022, an article on Nintendo's website detailing Ultimate's reveal trailers refers to Persona 5 as "Joker's original game".
    • In a similar vein, the UK version of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate website shows Kazuya's series as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate × Kazuya rather than Super Smash Bros. Ultimate × Tekken like in other regions. The logos for other franchises in the "Display by Series" option of the Fighters page would later be removed from the European websites due to this.
  • Oddly, when the Mii Fighter costumes for Barret and Tifa were shown, the trailer in Sephiroth's Mr. Sakurai Presents video as well as the separately-uploaded trailer with the Wave 8 Mii costumes uploaded the same day shows the logo of Final Fantasy VII next to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate logo. However, the separate video was taken down and reuploaded on January 11, 2021, and the Final Fantasy VII logo was changed to just Final Fantasy.
    • 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.
  • At the end of October 2019, on the North American English-language official site only, Piranha Plant's purchase cost was incorrectly changed from US$4.99/CA$6.29 to US$5.99/CA$7.55 to match all of the other fighters. This error remains as of September 2022. The actual eShop price charged remains the correct (lower) price. This error does not appear to be present in any other languages or regions.
