Super Smash Bros. X Universe (pronounced Cross Universe) is a crossover platform fighting game developed by Purity Studios and released for the Nintendo Switch. The game is the sixth entry in the Super Smash Bros. series, following Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and is the first game in the series since Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U to not be developed by Bandai Namco. X Universe is also notable for being the first game in the entire series to not be directed by series creator Masahiro Sakurai, as well as being the first time that a Super Smash Bros. game was released on the same console as its predecessor.
The game is heavily built off of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, with it reusing that game's engine and many of its assets. Because of this, X Universe could be viewed as an expanded and enhanced version of Ultimate, although it is still considered a separate entry in the series. The game as a whole was developed to be a soft reboot of sorts for the Super Smash Bros. series, with many of the characters from previous installments being completely redesigned, in addition to new mechanics and game modes being added in order to freshen up the gameplay, and make it stand out due to the fact that the Nintendo Switch already had a Super Smash Bros. game on it. X Universe takes inspiration from several other games in the genre, such as Dan Fornace's Rivals of Aether, and Capcom's Marvel vs Capcom series.
The gameplay of X Universe is very similar to that of previous Super Smash Bros. games, with the general feel of the game being closest to Ultimate. Unlike traditional fighting games where players must lower their opponent's health bar in order to win, X Universe is a platform fighting game where attacks will deal a certain amount of damage, which is labeled as a percentage and displayed near the bottom of the screen. The higher a player's percentage is, the farther they will fly when hit by an opponent's attacks. The goal of the game is to rack up your opponent's percentage, then send them flying off-screen and into the Blast Zone, resulting in a KO.
Characters have a wide variety of attacks to use during battle, such as Tilt Attacks that change depending on which direction the control stick is held in, Smash Attacks that can be charged to deal more damage and also change depending on the direction held, and Aerial Attacks that are used in midair. Some attacks have special effects to them, which include being able to bury opponents, where they must mash the attack button in order to escape, sending opponents straight downwards, which is known as a "meteor smash" or "spike", as well as "armor", which allows the user to take damage without interrupting the animation of certain attacks, among others. Players can use four different Special Moves, having their own button dedicated to them, which vary in utility and function. Additionally, characters have access to a Grab, which also has a dedicated button for it. Once an opponent is grabbed, they can be pummeled or thrown into one of four directions, although it is possible to escape the grab by mashing the attack button.
Finally, characters have a Shield that can be put up in order to protect them from attacks, with some exceptions such as Grabs or any move that functions like one. While shielding, players can perform a Spot Dodge, where the character will stand in place but lean or move into the background in order to avoid an attack. Players can also dash forward or backward, which grants them temporary invulnerability, although the effect will gradually last a shorter amount of time if this is done too often. If the shield button is pressed while in midair, the player will perform an Air Dodge, which can be done while stationary or while holding down on the control stick, causing the character to move in the given direction. While holding out a Shield, it will begin to shrink, and will eventually break if it gets too small, leaving the player temporarily dizzy. The Shield will slowly return to its normal size when not in use.
New Mechanics[]
X Universe introduces several new techniques and moves that were not featured in previous games, as well as changes to how previous mechanics worked.
Gliding: Returning from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, several characters have the ability to glide by holding up on the control stick after their final midair jump. During this, up and down on the control stick can be used to change their flight pattern, though they are vulnerable until they use an attack or land. Some attacks will automatically put the user into a gliding state.
Custom Moves: Custom Moves are also returning from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Every character has two Custom Moves for each of their Special Moves, all of which are available right from the beginning of the game. Most Custom Moves are simple variations of the default move, although there are some that are completely different from the original.
Perfect Shielding: Perfect Shielding can now be done by using a shield right as an attack hits the user like in previous Super Smash Bros. games or by letting go of a shield just as an attack hits like in Ultimate. Both variants allow the user to parry the attack and use any move like in Ultimate.
Guard Specials: Guard Specials are Special Moves used by pressing the special button while shielding. This mechanic was present in Ultimate, but it was only used by Inkling. Now, several characters have Guard Specials, which are usually connected to a certain move or the character's gimmick.
Counters: Counters, which were previously exclusive to certain characters, can now be utilized by the entire roster with a new input dedicated to them. The user enters a defensive state, and if attacked during this time, they will dodge and counterattack. Most Counters only counter physical attacks and deal 1.5x the damage and knockback, although some have special effects to them.
Bash Attacks: Bash Attacks are aerial versions of Smash Attacks. They cannot be charged for as long as Smash Attacks, and while the player's falling speed is stalled, this does not stop their horizontal momentum.
Final Forms: After grabbing a Smash Ball or filling the Final Smash Meter, the player can press the Counter Button instead of the Special Button to activate their Final Form, where the character transforms into a more powerful version of themselves, though they aren't invincible and can still suffer damage and knockback. They keep this state indefinitely until they are KOd.
Character Selection[]
Fighter Info: By pressing a certain while a character is selected, you can read a brief description of their moveset, and any gimmicks that they character may have, similarly to Rivals of Aether.
Crash Test: You can play test the fighter by pressing a certain button while they are selected similarly to Rivals of Aether. This will place you into a small confined area with a Sandbag for you to test their moves on.
Organization: The placement and order of characters on the character select screen can be completely customized.
Stage Selection[]
Organization: The game's stages are separated into different tabs by the title that they debuted in.
Hazard Toggle: You are now able to toggle the Stage Hazards on or off from the stage select screen, unlike in Ultimate.
Alpha Stages: The Battlefield forms of stages are now referred to as Alpha Stages, to match with the naming of the Omega Stages.
Stage Skins: Some stages such as Battlefield, Final Destination, and the stages from the original Super Smash Bros., have alternate skins that can be used. These include both modern and retro versions of the original N64 stages, as well as every past incarnation of Battlefield and Final Destination. These skins can be accessed by holding one of the trigger buttons while selecting the stage, which will bring up a small menu where you can select the version that you wish to play on.
Miscellaneous[]
Battle Damage: Certain characters will show visible damage on themselves as the fight progresses, however, this is only cosmetic. Examples include Meta Knight's mask cracking, Little Mac's face being bruised and bandaged, and Dark Matter bleeding.
Combo Counter: Once you've landed at least four moves in succession, a number will appear next to your character's portrait that keeps track of how many hits you've done in a single combo, with the announcer shouting phrases such as "Amazing!" and "Insane!" depending on how big the combo is when it ends.
Characters[]
X Universe features the largest roster out of any game in the series, with the majority of fighters from the past games returning. Many of the veteran characters have had their movesets tweaked or completely remade to better represent their abilities and personalities, as well as generally being more faithful to the source material.
While the majority of the roster originates from Nintendo's own franchise, there is also a wide variety of characters from third party companies, including but not limited to: SEGA, Konami, Capcom, Bandai Namco, Square Enix, Microsoft, and several indie studios. This is also the very game in the series to include characters who haven't originated from video games.
The concept of Echo Fighters returns from Ultimate, albeit with some changes. These fighters, which are marked by an Epsilon (ϵ) symbol, are heavily based on another character, to the point of sharing some moves with them, and can either be displayed separate from their source characters, or combined with them into one slot on the character select screen. Several of the Echoes from the previous game have been turned into unique fighters, and the brand new Echoes generally have more differences from their characters of origin than past ones.
Additionally, X Universe introduces a brand new type of character known as Cross Fighters, marked by a Chi (χ) symbol. As their name suggests, these fighters are a cross between two or more characters, combining their moves and traits to form a new moveset. Unlike Echo Fighters, Cross Fighters cannot be combined with their source characters on the character select screen.
Characters are organized by franchise. Click on one to skip to their moveset. Darkened characters are not yet finished
Mario is the main protagonist of the Super Mario series, as well as the mascot of Nintendo. Mario has appeared in over 200 games, ranging from platformers, RPGs, sports games, racing games, party games, and many more. He has gone on countless adventures alongside his brother Luigi, protecting the world and saving Princess Peach from whatever evil decides to show up that day, most commonly Bowser, the King of the Koopas. He has made many friends and enemies along the way, such as Cappy, a being that resides inside of Mario's hat.
Mario is a middleweight fighter with average stats who is designed to be beginner friendly while still having a lot of depth for more experienced players. He has several different tools at his disposal that allow him to take many approaches to any given situation, as well as a plethora of combo starters. Many of Mario's attacks are directly based on moves featured in games such as Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Odyssey.
Jab: Mario throws a one-two punch combo followed by a kick, taken directly from his attack combo in Super Mario 64.
Forward Tilt: Mario grabs Cappy off of his head and throws him forward, spinning in place before returning back to Mario and damaging opponents multiple times before launching them.
Forward Smash: Mario lifts a large hammer over his head before slamming it on the ground in front of him, based on the hammer moves featured in the Mario & Luigi series. This move can bury opponents while fully charged.
Up Tilt: Mario jumps while rapidly spinning, damaging opponents multiple times before launching them. This is based on the Spin Jump from Super Mario World and the New Super Mario Bros. series.
Up Smash: Mario takes out a large hammer and swings it overhead.
Down Tilt: Mario rolls along the ground, which can be jumped out of and is based on a move from Super Mario Odyssey. If the attack button is pressed again during the roll, Mario will perform a long jump, which covers great distance and grants him armor. This move originated in Super Mario 64.
Down Smash: Mario performs a breakdance sweep, based on the same move that can be done in Super Mario 64.
Dash Attack: Mario dives forward and slides along the ground, a move that has appeared in several Super Mario games. If the attack button is pressed again during the slide, Mario will hop forward afterward, which can be cancelled into any move.
Counter: Mario thrusts his palm forward as flames burst from it, based on the Firebrand ability from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.
Neutral Aerial: Mario spins around with his arms outstretched while Baby Luma appears from underneath his hat, based on the same move that can be performed in the Super Mario Galaxy games. This move causes Mario to slightly rise upward, and is capable of reflecting projectiles at the start of it.
Forward Aerial: Mario takes out a large hammer and swings it downward.
Forward Bash: Mario throws a flaming overhead punch, which can spike opponents.
Back Aerial: Mario takes out a large hammer and swings it behind him.
Back Bash: Mario throws a drop kick.
Up Aerial: Mario grabs Cappy and swings him overhead.
Up Bash: Mario throws a bicycle kick.
Down Aerial: Mario throws a spinning drill kick, damaging opponents multiple times before launching them.
Down Bash: Mario performs a stall-then-fall ground pound, which can spike opponents.
Grab: Mario grabs Cappy and throws him forward, capturing any opponent he touches. Once an opponent is captured, they will don Mario's hat and mustache. This is based on Cappy's signature ability to let Mario possess enemies in Super Mario Odyssey.
Pummel: Mario forces the opponent to slam their own face on the ground.
Forward Throw: Mario jumps out of the opponent and kicks them forward.
Back Throw: Mario jumps out of the opponent and grabs them by the legs before spinning around and throwing them behind him.

Neutral Special - Fireball: Mario throws out a fireball that bounces along the ground before disappearing. Up to two fireballs can be thrown in succession.
Custom 1 - Iceball: Mario throws out an iceball that is slower, but has a chance to freeze opponents.
Custom 2 - Goldball: Mario throws out a ball of solid gold that can only be used once in succession, but explodes into coins on impact, damaging opponents multiple times before launching them.
Side Special - Cap Throw: Mario grabs Cappy and throws him forward, dealing damage to anyone he hits before returning back to him. If the special button is held down, Cappy will spin in place for a bit before he comes back. If Mario touches Cappy at all during the move, he will bounce off of him and into the air before falling into a helpless state. This is based on the way Cappy functions as a projectile/spring in Super Mario Odyssey.
Custom 1 - Ricochet Cap Throw: Mario cannot bounce on Cappy. However, when thrown, Cappy will immediately target a nearby opponent and hit them. If another is close by, he travels to them afterward. This continues until no opponents are in range, and Cappy returns to Mario.
Custom 2 - Cape: Mario powers up using the Cape Feather, donning a large yellow cape, and rapidly spins. This move can turn opponents around on contact, reflect projectiles, and briefly halt Mario's descent when used in midair.
Up Special - Super Jump Punch: Mario throws a jumping uppercut, damaging opponents multiple times before launching them. During this, coins will pop out of them.
Custom 1 - Red Jump Punch: The move doesn't go as high, and it only hits opponents once, but the move is generally stronger and causes a Red Coin to come out the opponent.
Custom 2 - Rocket Nozzle: Instead of an uppercut, Mario blasts upward using F.L.U.D.D.'s Rocket Nozzle. The move can be charged to increase its height.
Down Special - F.L.U.D.D.: Mario summons F.L.U.D.D., who squirts water at opponents to push them away. He can continue squirting water if the special button is held. Directional inputs can also be used to aim the stream up and down. The stream will eventually get weaker until F.L.U.D.D. can no longer squirt water. The move will recharge itself when not in use, and can be cancelled into any other attack.
Custom 1 - F.L.U.D.D. Burst: Mario equips F.L.U.D.D. and shoots out a single burst of water that deals non-flinching damage to opponents. This move can be somewhat spammed.
Custom 2 - Mario Tornado: Mario begins to rapidly spin with his arms outstretched, damaging opponents multiple times before launching them. Mario can move left or right during this, and will rise into the air if the special button is repeatedly pressed.
Final Form - White Tanooki Mario: Mario uses a White Tanooki Leaf to become White Tanooki Mario. In this state, Mario can jump much higher and falls slower, in addition to being faster and receiving less knockback from attacks.
Final Smash - Superstar Slam: Mario rushes forward using F.L.U.D.D.'s Turbo Nozzle to deliver an uppercut. If he hits an opponent, they are locked in a cinematic where Mario repeatedly strikes them with a large hammer as Cappy slams into them from all angles. The move ends with Mario leaping high into the air and stomping on the opponent's head, launching them or instantly KOing them if they've accumulated over 100% damage before the end of the attack.

Luigi is one of the main characters in the Super Mario series, as well as the star of his own series, Luigi's Mansion. Originally being nothing more than just a green version of Mario that served the role of Player 2, Luigi has slowly received his own identity, personality, and abilities over the years. Years of living in his brother's shadow has made Luigi awkward, shy, and cowardly, but despite that, he has tagged along with Mario on several of his adventures, and even has to rescue him every now and again. His own series of adventures see him using the various Poltergust inventions, created by Professor E. Gadd, to hunt down ghosts and thwart the plans of the evil King Boo.
Luigi is a middleweight fighter with above average speed and a floaty jump, but poor air mobility. He also has the unique property of sliding across the ground when trying to turn around. Luigi's attacks mostly consist of him using the Poltergust G-00 and its various abilities, such as the Burst, Suction Shot, and Slam from Luigi's Mansion 3, as well as the Elemental Medals from the first game. His moveset is designed around waiting for opponents to create openings and capitalizing on their mistakes with plenty of range on his attacks, but also a lot of endlag.
Jab: Luigi swings the head of the Poltergust G-00 in front of him before performing an uppercut-like swing. If the attack button is repeatedly pressed, Luigi will spin the vacuum in front of him like a propeller, damaging opponents multiple times before launching them with a final swing.
Forward Tilt: Polterpup appears from underneath Luigi's hat and lunges forward to bite.
Forward Smash: Luigi attaches the Strobulb to the Poltergust G-00 and unleashes a large flash of light that stuns opponents the longer the move is charged for.
Up Tilt: Polterpup jumps up from underneath Luigi's hat, hitting opponents above him.
Up Smash: Luigi swings a large hammer upwards, with its weight causing him to fall back and slam it on the ground behind him.

Down Bash: Luigi throws an electrified corkscrew stomp, which can spike opponents.
Grab: Luigi fires a plunger from the Poltergust G-00, pulling opponents towards him. This can also be used in midair as a tether recovery.

Forward Throw: Luigi lifts the opponent up before launching them away with a blast of fire.
Back Throw: Luigi swings the opponent around and launches them behind him with a blast of ice.
Up Throw: Luigi swings the opponent overhead before launching them upward with a blast of water.
Down Throw: Polterpup jumps out from underneath Luigi's hat and tackles the opponent, licking them several times before launching them with a final lick.
Neutral Special - Thunderhand: Luigi fires an orb of electricity from his palm that flies forward, stunning opponents on contact. This move is based on the Thunderhand ability from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.
Custom 1 - Fireball: Luigi fires a green fireball from his finger that travels forward in a circular motion, dealing more damage but moving slower. The fireballs are based on the green ones that appear in Mario Bros.
Custom 2 - Boo Shot: Luigi launches a Boo out of the Poltergust G-00, which bounces along the ground and puts a poison effect on opponents.
Side Special - Suction Surge: Luigi activates the vacuum attachment of the Poltergust G-00 to pull in opponents with a very far and wide-ranged tornado-like effect. While Luigi cannot move, he can aim the vacuum forward or diagonally upwards. If an opponent is too close to Luigi, a bright green surge of electricity pulls them into the vacuum, before he launches the opponent outwards, upwards, or backwards.
Custom 1 - Suck Up: The move doesn't have as much range and is overall smaller, on top of not being able to suck in opponents. However, the move will suck in any projectiles and fire them back out, with them dealing more damage than normal.
Custom 2 - Green Missile: Luigi climbs atop the Poltergust G-00 as it blasts forward like a rocket, causing opponents to be hit by Luigi's head. The move can be charged to cover more distance and deal more damage. There is a 1/4 chance that the move will fly faster, farther, and deal more damage than its fully charged form, known as a Misfire.
Up Special - Burst: Luigi releases air pressure from the Poltergust G-00, causing him to be launched upward. Luigi does not fall into a helpless state after this, and the move also creates windboxes that can push opponents away.
Custom 1 - Balloon Berry: Luigi attaches a Balloon Berry from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon to the Poltergust G-00 and inflates it, causing him to be lifted into the air. Luigi will rise higher if the special button is repeatedly pressed, before the balloon deflates and he falls into a helpless state. The balloon can also be popped by opponents' attacks.
Custom 2 - Super Jump Punch: Luigi throws a jumping uppercut before falling into a helpless state. If an opponent is hit at the very start of the move, they will be dealt massive damage and knockback, however, if they are hit at any other point of the attack, they will be dealt light damage and no knockback.
Down Special - Elemental Medals: Luigi releases a stream of flames from the Poltergust G-00 that deals multiple hits of light damage to opponents standing in it. The stream can be angled up and down, but will gradually decrease in size as time goes on, and will need time to recharge before returning to full size. By using his Guard Special, Luigi can switch out the fire for water that pushes opponents away, or ice that has a chance to freeze opponents, with the one he has currently selected being displayed near his portrait.
Custom 1 - Blown Away: Luigi begins blowing air out of the Poltergust G-00, creating a windbox that will push opponents away, as well as nullify any physical projectiles.
Custom 2 - Luigi Cyclone: Luigi spins rapidly with his arms outstretched, damaging opponents multiple times before launching them. Luigi can move left and right during this, and will rise into the air if the special button is repeatedly pressed.
Final Form - Negative Luigi: Luigi dances, causing him to gain a negative color scheme. In this state, he has much faster air speed and much slower air speed. His moves also deal more damage, and most of them are darkness-empowered as well.
Final Smash - Ghost Portrificationizer: Luigi readies the Poltergust G-00 as the vacuum attachment on it goes haywire and starts sucking in anything nearby. If any opponents are caught, the scene will transition to show the Ghost Portrificationizer from the first Luigi's Mansion, as the fighters pass through as flattened versions of themselves. Their flat forms are pressed out, zapped, put through a machine, and, finally, onto a portrait. Luigi holds the portrait victoriously, before it bursts in a puff of smoke, launching the opponents. This move will instantly KO any fighters who had accumulated over 100% damage before the move ended.
Entrance: Luigi digitizes onto the stage in a burst of pixels, based on how he enters areas in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
Up Taunt: Luigi does five quick poses, one after the other. These include him flashing a peace sign, him pointing both his fingers in the direction he is facing while looking frightened, him holding his finger under his nose and looking at the player, him crouching down to the floor with his back turned to the player, and assuming a fearful position with his hands on his cheeks, mimicking his pose on the boxart of Luigi's Mansion.
Side Taunt: Luigi planks on the ground. If the taunt button is held Luigi will continue to repeat the action, alternating between left and right.
Down Taunt: Luigi bashfully kicks the ground while sighing, knocking anyone close to it into the air. If an opponent is hanging onto the ledge, this taunt will result in a spike
Victory Animation 1: Luigi turns around and makes gun motions with his fingers, saying "Bang, bang." Afterwards, he alternates between pointing his fingers and nose to the right and left.
Victory Animation 2: Luigi twirls around before he flashes a peace sign at the camera with his right hand and a wide grin while nodding, a reference to when Luigi finds a key in a chest during the events of Luigi's Mansion.
Victory Animation 3: Luigi is seen in the middle of trying to catch a Boo, being dragged around the screen before he finally catches the ghost and wipes the sweat off his forehead.
Can Crawl: Yes.
Can Wall Jump: No.
Can Wall Cling: No.
Footstool: Luigi's footstool does 10% damage, as well as spiking opponents.
Princess Peach is one of the main characters in the Super Mario series, and more often than not serves as the damsel in distress that must be rescued in each game. She is the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom and all of it's inhabitants, which makes her a primary target for Bowser, who wishes to marry her and have the kingdom to himself. Despite frequent kidnappings, Peach has tagged along with Mario and Luigi from time to time, with her most notable appearances being in Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario 3D World. Peach even starred in her own game, Super Princess Peach, where the tables were turned and she had to rescue the Mario Bros. after they were captured., with the help of a living parasol named Perry, who also joins her this time around in Super Smash Bros. X Universe. With all of this, you would think that she'd be more than capable of defending herself and not getting kidnapped, but I guess old habits die hard.
Peach is a slow but powerful middleweight fighter, whose movesets pokes fun at the fact that she doesn't do much fighting despite her being perfectly capable of doing so. The majority of her attacks aren't actually fighting moves, but rather Peach accidentally hitting her opponents without meaning to.

Toad is a recurring character in the Super Mario series. He is actually a singular character among an entire species of look-alikes also named Toad, which can lead to some confusion over which Toad is the main one. He is the loyal servant of Princess Peach, and sometimes joins Mario and Luigi on their adventures to help using his surprising strength. Although he is somewhat cowardly, he is always willing to help the Mario Bros. should they need it. Toad has even starred in his own game, in the form of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. Previously, he appeared in the Super Smash Bros. games as Peach's Neutral Special.
Toad is just a tad shorter than Mario and is one of the fastest characters in the game, a callback to his high speed in Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario 3D World, but this comes at the cost of him being very light and having a low jump, another trait taken from those two games. Toad has the unique ability to carry heavy objects like Crates and Barrels, without Toad's movement being hindered at all. He can run, jump, double jump, and crouch, all while holding a big item over his head. Toad's moveset consists of him using his large head and pickaxe, his ability to create spores, and a variety of powerups featured in the Super Mario series, mostly ones that take the form of a Mushroom of some kind.

Despite his villainous status, he has teamed up with Mario on more than one occasion, to take on greater evils like Smithy and Fawful. His immense strength, large fireballs, and a flying machine known as the Koopa Clown Car, make him a formidable foe.
Bowser is the single heaviest character in the game, with slow movement speed and powerful attacks. He has an ability known as "Tough Guy", which is a universal super armor that allows him to power through attacks that deal 5% or less without flinching.

Only two minions can be out at a time. The minions that Bowser can use include:
Goomba: The Goomba will slowly waddle forward until it is KOd or falls off of the stage. If an opponent is near, the Goomba will charge towards them, dealing moderate damage and knockback. The Goomba can be defeated by attacking it or jumping on its head.
Koopa Troopa: The Koopa Troopa will trot forward until it is KOd or falls off of the stage. If an opponent is near, the Koopa Troopa will lunge forward and attack. If the Koopa Troopa is attacked, it will retreat into its shell, which can then be picked up and thrown.

In this state, the Red Koopa Troopa will walk forward, turning around once it reaches the edge of a platform or the stage. If an opponent is nearby, the Red Koopa Troopa will lunge forward and attack. If they are attacked in this state, they will retreat into their shell, which can then be picked up and thrown.
Buzzy Beetle: The Buzzy Beetle will walk forward until it is KOd or falls off of the stage. Due to its hard shell, the Buzzy Beetle is immune to all projectiles, and can only be KOd using physical attacks or throws. If the Buzzy Beetle is jumped on, it will retreat into its shell, which can then be picked up and thrown.
Spiny: The Spiny is initially thrown in an arc, which can damage opponents, before beginning to walk forward until it is KOd or falls off of the stage. The Spiny cannot be jumped on or grabbed due to the spikes on its shell, so it must be dealt with using physical attacks.

Wart is the main antagonist of Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, which was retooled into Super Mario Bros. 2 for its western release. He is a large frog who invaded the dream world of Subcon and took control of their Dream Machine, which resulted in the natives, known as Subcons, having to contact Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad in order to help them stop Wart. Eventually he was defeated by the quartet, who took advantage of his weakness to vegetables, and he has not been seen since, except for, oddly enough, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and its remake on the Nintendo Switch.

They don't deal much knockback, but combined they can deal a good chunk of damage. The charge can also be cancelled and stored by pressing the special button.
Custom 1 - Boiled Egg Shot: Wart can only ever spit one egg, and it travels much less distance. However, it will explode on impact and deals much more damage, especially the closer the opponent is to Wart. These eggs can still be used as platforms, however, they cannot be grabbed and thrown.

The Koopalings are a group of recurring villains throughout the Super Mario series. They are the seven siblings that all work for Bowser, and frequently attempt to stop Mario in his tracks. All seven of them are named after a famous musician, and contrary to popular belief, they are not Bowser's children, but are simply servants to him. They first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3, and went on to reappear in Super Mario World. For a while after that, they were missing in action, before finally making their return in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and since then they have begun to appear in spinoffs such as the Mario Kart series. The group consists of Larry; the youngest as well as the leader, Morton; the strong and grouchy one, Wendy; the female Koopaling who is very tomboyish and bratty, Iggy; the hyperactive and crazy one, Roy; the bully of the group, Lemmy; the naive and innocent one, and Ludwig; the eldest and most intelligent of the Koopalings.
The Koopalings are heavyweight fighters who battle within the confines of the Jr. Clown Car, using a wide array of gadgets as well as various moves seen in their boss fights throughout the Super Mario series. The Koopalings can also temporarily float in midair by holding up on the control stick after jumping. Additionally, they have a unique attribute where attacks that hit the Jr. Clown Car will deal 0.5x the damage, as well as universal super armor; attacks that deal 20 units or less of knockback that hit the Jr. Clown Car will not make the Koopalings flinch.

She soon faded into obscurity, until Mario Tennis on the N64, when the developers at Camelot decided to bring her back as Peach's tennis partner, and since then she has been a mainstay in almost every Super Mario spinoff game.

To do this, the player must match multi-colored Megavitamins with viruses of the same color, in order to eliminate them. Do to him being a separate character from Mario, many have speculated whether Dr. Mario and Mario are even the same person, with some even claiming that the doctor is the third long lost Mario Brother.
In past Super Smash Bros. games, Dr. Mario was simply a slower but more powerful version of Mario, who had a couple of different moves but was mostly the same.

Geno is a glass canon character, with strong attack power at the cost of being lightweight and easy to launch. He has a unique mechanic based on Timed Hits from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars where, after landing an attack, the attack button can be pressed again for it to deal more damage and knockback. Geno's moves make reference to his various attacks and special moves from the game, utilizing his arm cannon and various types of magic.

Waluigi is a recurring character in the Super Mario series, first appearing in Mario Tennis on the N64. He is considered Luigi's equivalent to Wario, and as such the two have a fierce rivalry, with hints that Waluigi is jealous of Luigi's close relationship with Daisy. Wario and Waluigi have always been seen as partners in crime, although their exact relationship is unknown. Waluigi is portrayed as mischievous, and a very sore loser, often claiming that other characters are cheating, despite him himself cheating quite a fair bit. Since his first appearance, he has showcased various odd and sometimes reality breaking abilities, such as defying the laws of gravity.
Much like how Wario has exaggerated versions of Mario's traits, Waluigi is a more extreme version of Luigi. He has the single highest jump in the game, and has little to no traction on the ground. In terms of his moveset, Waluigi will do whatever he can to win, including ripping off the moves of other characters or his attacks having strange properties that they shouldn't. He is also able to glide by swimming through the air. Additionally, Waluigi also has a unique mechanic where he will become more aggressive as he takes damage, angered at the thought of losing. Once he reaches over 120% damage, he will become faster and stronger, at the cost of his attacks taking longer to come out.

If the button is held, however, he will pull out a tennis ball and serve it. The ball will bounce off of opponents and the stage, and can even be reflected by Waluigi if he uses the move again to simply swing the racket forward, with the ball becoming more powerful the more times he successfully hits it. If Waluigi is holding a throwable item and uses this move, he will actually serve the item instead of a tennis ball. It won't bounce, but the item will still retain its original properties, such as the Beastball teleporting behind the opponent, Bob-ombs exploding on contact, or Capsules breaking to reveal another item.
Custom 1 - Power Serve: The tennis ball is stronger and will pass through opponents, allowing it to hit multiple targets.
Custom 2 - Reflecting Serve: Waluigi can only use the tapped version of the move, however, projectiles reflected by him will be twice as strong.
Side Special - Purple Missile: Waluigi charges up before blasting forward like a rocket while spinning. This move automatically hones in on the nearest opponent, and can be charged to increase the distance and power of the move.

King Boo, despite being a heavyweight character, is floaty in the air with three additional jumps, the ability to float by holding up on the control stick after jumping, and air mobility that rivals Jigglypuff's. In battle, he will float slightly above the ground, meaning that some attacks could pass right under him. He uses various attacks from his boss fights in his moveset, as well as having a unique gimmick utilizing the Boos. For every 30% he deals, one of the many varieties of Boo will appear in the background of the stage to watch him fight, which will increase his mobility and attack power.

If the special button is held down, King Boo will hold on to any caught projectiles, only throwing them when the special button is released. He cannot move during this, but can turn around.

Up to five can be held at once, the number increasing by one for ever Boo that appears.
Custom 2 - Paranormal Strike: King Boo casts a bolt of lightning on a close enough opponent with his crown. If King Boo has more Boos with him, the range he can strike opponents will increase. With all five Boos, he can strike an opponent from anywhere on the stage.

During the fight, Petey will spit up brown goop that can damage Mario as well as summon enemies. He was defeated by Mario spraying water into his mouth and then ground pounding his belly button.
He returned in a later mission, now with the ability to fly and throw tornadoes towards Mario, but he was defeated once again. Petey Piranha has not appeared in another mainline Super Mario game after his debut, although he frequently shows up in spinoffs such as Mario Kart: Double Dash, and Mario Tennis: Aces. He even appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a boss during the Subspace Emissary mode, where he trapped Peach and Zelda in cages and had to be defeated by Kirby. He then returned as Piranha Plant's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate where he once again used the cages to trap opponents.

Dry Bowser is the skeletal form of Bowser that first appeared in New Super Mario Bros. after he was dunked in lava by Mario, causing his skin to melt off. After being resurrected by Bowser Jr, Dry Bowser retained the strength of his regular counterpart, on top of having the abilities of a Dry Bones, such as being immune to fireballs, and being able to put himself back together after being dismantled by Mario's stomps. Since then, Dry Bowser has appeared in several Super Mario spinoff games, usually as a separate entity from Bowser.
Dry Bowser shares some moves with Bowser, but also has plenty of his own attacks. Due to him only being a skeleton, he is lighter than his flesh counterpart, on top of lacking the "Tough Guy" attribute and the invincibility that some of his attacks grant him. To make up for this, Dry Bowser is more mobile, and his attacks have more range than Bowser's, due to his bones being able to disconnect and reconnect, allowing Dry Bowser's moves to reach opponents than Bowser's could not.

Up Throw: Dry Bowser jumps into the air and performs a piledriver.
Down Throw: Dry Bowser slams the opponent on the ground.

Final Smash - Giga Dry Bowser: Dry Bowser runs forward while slashing. Any opponents hit will then appear in the middle of the courtyard to Bowser's Castle, from which the towering Giga Dry Bowser crashes out of and unleashes a massive blue fireball the size of his body at the caught opponents, causing a massive explosion that launches them, and instantly KOing if they are over 100% damage.

Luma will remain at the place it stopped until it is called back to Rosalina by tapping the special button again. Luma will eventually float back to Rosalina's position if it is not recalled after a long enough time and as long as it is above ground.

Custom 1 - Launch Comet: The move doesn't travel as far, but Rosalina will damage opponents multiple times before launching them if they come into contact with her.
Custom 2 - Launch Meteor: Rosalina has less control over the angle she is launched in, but an explosion occurs at the beginning and end of the move.
Down Special - Gravitational Pull: Rosalina waves her wand around herself, using the Star Cursor to make nearby items or projectiles gravitate toward her. Gravitating items and projectiles come under Rosalina's ownership, which can result in projectiles damaging opponents who get too close.
Custom 1 - Gravitational Force: The move will cause opponents to gravitate towards Rosalina rather than items and projectiles.
Custom 2 - Gravitational Repel: The move will repel items instead of pulling them in.
Final Form - Big Luma: Rosalina feeds Luma several Star Bits, causing him to grow larger. In this state, he is slower and heavier, but his attacks deal more damage and knockback. It also takes less time for Luma to respawn when he is KOd.
Final Smash - Black Hole: Rosalina summons a large black hole, as several Lumas fly into it, the black hole slowly growing bigger, before exploding. The black hole sucks opponents in, and the Lumas can damage them while flying into it.

Victory Animation 3: Luma jumps around before jumping into Rosalina's arms while she giggles.
The Maker is not an actual character, but rather a representation of someone playing Super Mario Maker. Ingame, the player looks like they're controlling a sprite of Mario, but in reality they are controlling the hand that places down objects. The Maker controls differently compared to other fighters, as Mario has a momentum based mechanic to him. The longer Mario runs for, the more speed he builds up, and he keeps this momentum when he jumps.
Additionally, when The Maker reaches over 150% damage, Mario will shrink down to around half his size, making him faster, as well as causing attacks to come out quicker, at the cost of him being much lighter and easier to KO. All of The Maker's attacks involve placing down objects or giving Mario various items from Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2. Additionally, The Maker is unique for being the only fighter in the game to not have any Custom Moves, due to all of his Special Moves having different variants by default.

Forward Tilt: The Maker places down a Koopa Shell, which Mario kicks forward.

Counter: Mario jumps on the opponent's head.
Neutral Aerial: The Maker places down a Fire Bar that spins in place, damaging opponents multiple times before launching them.

Forward Bash: The Maker places down a Burner, which shoots out a stream of flames that damage opponents multiple times before launching them.
Back Aerial: The Maker places a Canon in midair, which proceeds to shoot a cannonball backwards, launching opponents it hits. The cannonball can be "killed" though, should the opponent jump on it at the right time.

Neutral Special - Powerups: The Maker gives Mario one of five different powerups that can be selected from a menu, which transform him into a new form and replace the Neutral Special with a new move. Mario will keep the powerup until he takes 50%, where he will then lose it and return to normal. The five different powerups include:
Superball Flower: Mario takes on his appearance from Super Mario Land and gains the ability to throw Superballs. These Superballs will bounce off of platforms, opponents, and even the edges of the screen before disappearing. Only one can be thrown at a time.
SMB2 Mushroom: Mario takes on his appearance from Super Mario Bros. 2 and gains the ability to pull turnips from the ground and throw them at opponents. Additionally, Mario is able to stand on the heads of opponents and ride them like a platform, where he can then pick them up and throw them.

Super Hammer: Mario transforms into Builder Mario and gains the ability to swing his hammer as well as create Builder Boxes. These boxes are treated just like normal Crates are, meaning that anyone can pick them up and throw them. Builder Mario can have up to three boxes on the stage at a time, and they can stack on top of each other, forming a wall in front of Builder Mario.
Cannon Box: Mario has a Cannon Box placed on his head, allowing him to fire cannonballs forward. The move can be charged to increase its speed and the distance it travels.

Blooper: The Blooper will move erratically towards the closest opponent, damaging them on contact. They can be defeated fairly easily, with attacks or by jumping on their head.
Cheep Cheep: The Cheep Cheep will bounce along the ground, following opponents and jumping up to attack them. They cannot be jumped on and must be defeated by attacks.
Spike: The Spike will stand still and throw Spike Balls at the opponents, which fly forward in a straight line. The Spike can be attacked or jumped on to defeat it.
Pokey: The Pokey will slowly walk forward and damage opponents on contact. Their height is random, with them consisting of between two and six segments not including the head. Opponents must attack the Pokey's head in order to defeat it.
Bully: The Bully will charge forward and ram into opponents, not dealing damage but pushing them back and stunning them. The Bully cannot be defeated, but they can also be pushed back by attacks, eventually falling off of the stage.
Up Special - Recovery: The Maker places down one of five different items that can be selected from a menu, all of which cause Mario to rise upward in some way. The five different items include:
Power Balloon: Mario inflates like a balloon, and by pressing the special button, he will gain a burst of momentum forwards into whatever direction he is facing. This can be done up to three times before Mario returns to normal.
Super Acorn: Mario transforms into Flying Squirrel Mario and gains a burst of upwards momentum. If the special button is held down, Mario will enter a gliding state at the apex of his jump.
Propeller Box: Mario has a Propeller Box placed on his head as he rapidly spins, causing him to rise high into the air before falling down slowly.
Lakitu's Cloud: The Maker places Mario into a Lakitu's Cloud, where he then has free movement and can fly anywhere for three seconds before the cloud disappears.
Fast Lava Lift: The Maker places down a Lava Lift, which travels upwards in an arc with Mario on top of it.

Twister: The Twister will propel opponents, including Mario, upward through the use of tornadoes, before disappearing after three seconds.
POW Block: The POW Block appears above Mario and will cause a stage-wide tremor when hit that causes all grounded opponents to be damaged. The POW Block can then be hit or attacked up to three times before it disappears. Opponents can also use the POW Block for themselves. Only one POW Block can be at play at a time.
Grinder: The Grinder will remain stationary for five seconds before disappearing, dealing a lot of damage to opponents who touch it.
Bumper: The Bumper will bounce opponents away should they touch it. It can also be used as a trampoline if jumped on top of. The Bumper will disappear after five seconds.
Final Form - Big Mario: The Maker gives Mario a Big Mushroom, transforming him into Big Mario. In this state, his attacks cover more range and deal more damage. He can also bury opponents by jumping on them, and he creates small shockwaves upon landing that cause nearby opponents to trip.
Final Smash - Kaizo Madness: The Maker taps on the screen in an attempt to grab an opponent. If they succeed, the opponent will be pulled into a cutscene where the screen goes black, before transporting The Maker, Mario, and the opponent into one of the many "Don't Move" levels that have been created in Super Mario Maker. Mario will be standing on top of a moving platform, following along at the bottom of the screen while the opponent is bombarded with various enemies, hazards, and other things that some evil creator has placed in this level. The Final Smash ends with several images of cat paws striking the opponent rapidly while the rave music from Super Mario Maker plays in the background, before they are held in place as The Maker erases the opponent using Mr. Eraser, which will instantly KO them if they are over 100% damage.

Gooigi is a clone of Luigi who appears in the Nintendo 3DS remake of Luigi's Mansion and again in Luigi's Mansion 3, with him serving as the second player character in both instances. He appears in Luigi's image but is entirely composed of green goo, hence his name, and wields a gooey version of the Poltergust G-00. He was created by Professor E. Gadd during the events of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, after accidentally spilling his coffee onto a strange liquid he was experimenting on, which caused it to take a green goop-like form. After this, Gooigi was sent back in time to the events of the original Luigi's Mansion, outsourcing E. Gadd's testing to his and Luigi's past selves. Gooigi then went on to reappear in Luigi's Mansion 3, where the player can use him to reach certain areas that Luigi cannot, such as behind bars, past spikes, or through grates.
In this game, Gooigi appears as Luigi's Echo Fighter, using mostly the same moveset as him, but with a few different attacks. Gooigi is lighter and faster than Luigi, however, this comes at the cost of him being easier to KO. Gooigi also has weaker attacks overall, but they deal more knockback than Luigi's.
Jab: Gooigi swings the head of the Poltergust G-00 in front of him before performing an uppercut-like swing. If the attack button is repeatedly pressed, Gooigi will spin the vacuum in front of him like a propeller, damaging opponents multiple times before launching them with a final swing.

Forward Smash: Gooigi attaches the Strobulb to the Poltergust G-00 and unleashes a large flash of light that stuns opponents the longer the move is charged for.

Side Special - Suction Surge: Gooigi activates the vacuum attachment of the Poltergust G-00 to pull in opponents with a very far and wide-ranged tornado-like effect. While Gooigi cannot move, he can aim the vacuum forward or diagonally upwards. If an opponent is too close to Gooigi, a bright green surge of electricity pulls them into the vacuum, before he launches the opponent outwards, upwards, or backwards.
Custom 1 - Suck Up: The move doesn't have as much range and is overall smaller, on top of not being able to suck in opponents. However, the move will suck in any projectiles and fire them back out, with them dealing more damage than normal.
Custom 2 - Green Bullet: Gooigi climbs atop the Poltergust G-00 as it blasts forward like a rocket, causing opponents to be hit by Gooigi's head. The move can be charged to cover more distance and deal more damage. There is a 1/4 chance that the move will fly faster, farther, and deal more damage than its fully charged form, known as a Misfire. Compared to Luigi's version, Gooigi deals less damage, but he travels much farther and faster, and he also travels through opponents, allowing him to damage more than one.
Up Special - Burst: Gooigi releases air pressure from the Poltergust G-00, causing him to be launching upward. Gooigi does not fall into a helpless state after this, and the move also creates windboxes that can push opponents away.
Custom 1 - Balloon Berry: Gooigi attaches a Balloon Berry from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon to the Poltergust G-00 and inflates it, causing him to be lifted into the air. Gooigi will rise higher if the special button is repeatedly pressed, before the balloon deflates and he falls into a helpless state. The balloon can also be popped by opponents.
Custom 2 - Rising Jump Punch: Gooigi throws a jumping uppercut, damaging opponents multiple times before launching them and falling into a helpless state.
Down Special - Elemental Medals: Gooigi releases a stream of flames from the Poltergust G-00 that deals multiple hits of light damage to opponents standing in it. The stream can be angled up and down, but will gradually decrease in size as time goes on, and will need time to recharge before returning to full size. By using his Guard Special, Gooigi can switch out the fire for water that pushes opponents away, or ice that has a chance to freeze opponents, with the one he has currently selected being displayed near his portrait.
Custom 1 - Blown Away: Gooigi begins blowing air out of the Poltergust G-00, creating a windbox that will push opponents away, as well as nullify any physical projectiles.
Custom 2 - Gooigi Whirlwind: Gooigi spins rapidly with his arms outstretched, damaging opponents multiple times before launching them. Gooigi can move left and right during this. Compared to Luigi's version, Gooigi spins for longer and deals more damage as a result, but he cannot rise into the air.
Final Form - Sticky Gooigi: Gooigi begins to melt, causing him to become sticky. In this state, Gooigi's movement is more slippery, and he is faster. Additionally, all of his attacks will send out green goo that can stick to opponents and slow them down temporarily.
Final Smash - Boolossus: Gooigi readies the Poltergust G-00 as the vacuum attachment on it goes haywire and starts sucking in anything nearby. If any opponents are caught, the scene will transition to show them on atop the roof of the mansion from the original Luigi's Mansion. Suddenly, a swarm of Boos begin circling and surrounding the opponents before combining together and forming Boolossus, who jumps up and slams down on the opponents, sending them back to the stage and launching them.
Entrance: Gooigi emerges from a puddle of green goo lying on the ground.
Up Taunt: Gooigi does five quick poses, one after the other. These include him flashing a peace sign, him pointing both his fingers in the direction he is facing while looking frightened, him holding his finger under his nose and looking at the player, him crouching down to the floor with his back turned to the player, and assuming a fearful position with his hands on his cheeks, mimicking Luigi's pose on the boxart of Luigi's Mansion.
Side Taunt: Gooigi pulls out a random gem and observes it before putting it back where it got it.
Down Taunt: Gooigi melts into a puddle of goo before reforming himself.

Victory Animation 3: Gooigi is seen in the middle of trying to catch a Boo, being dragged around the screen before he finally catches the ghost and wipes the sweat off his forehead.
Yoshi is a dinosaur-like creature that has appeared several times in the Super Mario series, and has gone on to star in his own series of games as well. Yoshi first appeared in Super Mario World, where the Mario Bros. could ride on top of him and use his abilities to their advantage. Yoshi's first solo adventure was in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, where he had to go on a quest to reunite the baby Mario Bros. This was also where he gained the ability to eat enemies and turn them into eggs, a move that would reappear in several games.
Yoshi is a fast heavyweight fighter who primarily uses his large head and tail to attack. He has a unique double jump where he uses his Flutter Jump; this is higher than most double jumps and provides super armor. Yoshi also has a unique shield where he hides inside of a Yoshi Egg.

If Yoshi uses his grab to eat a physical projectile, it will automatically be turned into an egg.
Custom 1 - Eggdozer: Yoshi lays larger Yoshi Eggs. He can only have three at a time, but they deal more damage.
Custom 2 - Bouncing Eggs: The Yoshi Eggs deal less damage, but they can rebound off of surfaces and blast zones more times.
Side Special - Egg Throw: Yoshi grabs one of the Yoshi Eggs following him and throws it. This move can only be used if there is at least one Yoshi Egg following him.

Thrown Yoshi Eggs will travel at quick speeds across the stage, ricocheting off of surfaces and blast zones several times before breaking.
Custom 1 - Auto Egg Throw: Instead of having to hold the special button to aim, the special button can be pressed a second time to throw the Yoshi Egg in the specified direction. The cursor moves somewhat slower.
Custom 2 - Lock-On Egg Throw: The cursor automatically locks onto the nearest opponent instead of aiming up and down gradually.

Custom 2 - Helicopter Yoshi: Yoshi transforms into a helicopter and flies upward, damaging opponents with his propellers multiple times before launching them.

Wario is a recurring character in the Super Mario series, as well as the star of his own two series, Wario Land and WarioWare. He is a money obsessed treasure hunter, as well as a game developer, and serves as a rival to Mario, being his opposite in almost every way. Wario first appeared as the main antagonist in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, and has since been a mainstay in various Super Mario spinoffs such as Mario Kart and Mario Party. In the Wario Land series, he got his own set of unique abilities, as well as a variety of transformations that alter his body and skills. In the WarioWare series, Wario resides in Diamond City, and runs a microgame business with some of his "friends" to make quick cash.
Wario is a heavyweight but also very mobile fighter, with incredible movement in the air. His moveset leans more towards the Wario Land series rather than WarioWare, with a lot of his attacks utilizing his various forms and transformations, including a third jump where he transforms into Bat Wario.

After this he can either pummel by shaking the opponent, causing coins to pop out of them, or throw them in three different directions:
Forward Throw: Wario reels the enemy back and then throws them forward. This throw can be charged to increase damage and knockback.

Diddy Kong is one of the main protagonists of the Donkey Kong series, and often serves as Donkey Kong's equivalent to Luigi from the Super Mario series. He is a small chimpanzee, with a red shirt and hat with the Nintendo logo on it. He often accompanies Donkey Kong on his adventures to take back their stolen hoard of bananas. He also starred in his own games in the form of Diddy Kong Racing and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Diddy Kong is very quick and agile, but also lightweight. He comes equipped with his Rocketbarrel Pack, allowing him to fly through the air, as well as his Peanut Popguns.
Diddy Kong doesn’t fight alone, however, as throughout the match he will be followed around by Dixie Kong. She is Diddy Kong's partner who was first introduced in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. In that game her and Diddy Kong traveled to defeat Kaptain K. Rool and rescue Donkey Kong. Eventually, she even starred in her own game, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie's Double Trouble. Dixie Kong's signature ability is her hair, which she can use to glide in the air, or pick up objects.
Unlike similar characters like Ice Climbers or Rosalina & Luma, Dixie Kong cannot be damaged while she is following behind Diddy Kong. By using his Down Special or Guard Special, Diddy can switch places with Dixie, with the player now controlling her and Diddy following behind. Because of this, neither of their Down Specials have Custom Move variants. Each Kong has their own percentages and separate stocks, with them being split between the two. Dixie Kong shares a lot of moves with Diddy Kong, but also has her own distinct attacks that set her apart, utilizing her long hair to give her a lot of range. By holding up on the control stick while in midair, Dixie will begin to spin, using her ponytail to slow her descent.

Link is the name given to the protagonists of The Legend of Zelda series. While there have been many different incarnations of Link throughout the series, all of them wielding the Master Sword and Triforce of Courage, the version that appears in Super Smash Bros. X Universe is based on his appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild and its sequel. This Link, referred to as the Hero of the Wild, served as Princess Zelda's personal bodyguard, but was heavily wounded during a battle against the powerful Calamity Ganon, and had to be put to sleep for a century in order to recover. When he woke up, he had no memory, and had to journey across the ruined kingdom of Hyrule in order to defeat Calamity Ganon as well as reclaim his lost memories.
Link is a middleweight fighter who mostly fights using the Master Sword, although he also makes use of other weapons such as spears, clubs, and axes. Uniquely, moves that use the Master Sword are capable of firing out a small energy beam projectile, though this will only work if Link is at 0% damage, as he will lose the ability if he takes damage. On top of his weapons, Link also wields a bow, which can fire a variety of different arrows, the various Rune and Champion Abilities from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild, as well as being able to glide using his Paraglider.
Additionally, Link's Hylian Shield is capable of blocking projectiles, no matter their strength, as long as Link is standing still or crouching when they hit. Also, Link has the unique ability to climb up walls; if Link touches a wall/the side of the stage, he can climb up it by holding up on the control stick, though he can only do this for a few seconds before getting tired and falling. He is able to jump out of the wall climb as well.
Jab: Link does an outwards slash, followed by a downward stab, and ending with a forward stab. The final stab can send a sword beam forward if Link is at 0%.
Forward Tilt: Link thrusts a spear forward. The stab can be repeated twice for a total of three hits in the move.

Upon hitting the ground or a wall, the arrows also linger for a while before disappearing, during which they can be picked up and thrown as items. If Link uses this move with an arrow picked up, he will fire the two arrows at once, greatly increasing the damage dealt to opponents. By using his Guard Special, a menu will appear where he can change the type of arrow that is fired, meaning that this move does not have any Custom Move variants. Each type of arrow other than the normal ones can only be shot 5 times and will be restored once Link dies. The types of arrows that can be shot along with the standard arrow include:

Custom 2 - Spin Slash: Link launches opponents he hits instead of damaging them multiple times, but he cannot open his Paraglider to float down.
Down Special - Remote Bomb: Link pulls out a Remote Bomb, which can be thrown as an item. After throwing it, using the move again has Link detonate the Remote Bomb with his Sheikah Slate, creating a large blue explosion. The Remote Bomb has a maximum duration of about 30 seconds before detonating automatically, and can be knocked around by attacks, which also causes it to damage opponents in range.

Throughout his battles with Samus, he has been killed several times, but always finds a way to come back.

Side Special - Space Pirate Rush: Ridley rushes forward to grab the opponent. If successful, he slams them into the ground and flies forward while dragging them across it, dealing continuous damage before throwing them at an edge or if the Special Button is pressed again.

This move is an instant KO on opponents at 100% damage or higher before the cutscene ends.

The Animal Friends are a trio of characters that appear in the Kirby series. The group consists of Rick the Hamster, Kine the Sunfish, and Coo the Owl. They debuted in Kirby's Dream Land 2, helping Kirby on his adventure, and would later team up as a singular character in Kirby Star Allies. They each have their own abilities, such as Rick being able to withstand treacherous terrain, Kine being a strong swimmer but rather useless on land, and Coo being able to carry Kirby through the air with his talons.
Rick, Kine, and Coo work together throughout their moveset, often changing into one another for their attacks. The player mainly controls Rick or Kine on the ground, while they transform into Coo when jumping. Because of Coo's wings, they have five midair jumps and the ability to glide. Kine and Coo are middleweight fighters while Rick is a heavyweight. They are also unique in that, since Rick is controlled when walking or running, they cannot slip on ice. When swimming, the player will control Kine, who can move really fast in the water and will never drown.
Their moveset is derived from their appearance as a Dream Friend in Kirby Star Allies, swapping between each other for the entirety of their moveset. Rick attacks with kicks and body slams, Coo with his wings and talons, and Kine by flopping around. Some of their moves also utilize the Animal Friends that appeared in Kirby's Dream Land 3, those being Pitch the Bird, Nago the Cat, and ChuChu the Squid.

Finally, if the special button is held, he will charge up for a massive laser that he shoots forward, damaging opponents multiple times before launching them.

Marx is the main antagonist of Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra. He appeared in the Milky Way Wishes subgame, where he caused the Sun and Moon to fight, and tricked Kirby into awakening the wish granting Galactic Nova to stop it. He then tried to use it's power to take over the universe, but was defeated by Kirby. He later appeared in Kirby Star Allies as a Dream Friend, having seemingly changed his villainous ways and coming to Kirby's aid, despite their past history, in order to stop the threat looming over the galaxy.
Marx is a floaty lightweight character with a total of six jumps, utilizing his wings to gain extra height. These wings also allow him to glide through the air. Marx's moveset consists of attacks from his appearance as a Dream Friend in Kirby Star Allies as well as his boss fights in Kirby Super Star, Kirby Super Star Ultra, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Custom 2 - White Hole: Instead of sucking in opponents, the black hole creates windboxes that violently push opponents backward.

Adeleine & Ribbon Kirby's Dream Land 3 (1997) / Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (2000)
Adeleine & Ribbon are two recurring characters from the Kirby series. Adeleine is a human that came to Dream Land in order to practice her art, and first appeared as a boss in Kirby's Dream Land 3, where she was being possessed by Dark Matter. In her fight, she would paint enemies on her canvas, which would then come to life and attack Kirby. She then reappeared in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, where she would appear in the background of certain stages and paint Kirby a healing item. Also introduced in that game was Ribbon, a small fairy from Ripple Star, that has recently been paired with Adeleine in Kirby Star Allies to form a duo.
Adeleine & Ribbon are middleweight fighters, with players taking control of Adeleine while Ribbon follows behind her at all times, floating above the ground. They have three midair jumps and the ability to glide using Ribbon's wings, as well as being able to summon various enemies from the Kirby series to attack. These enemies can vary in function, and provide more utility to their moveset and are usually their strongest moves. These enemies also act on their own startup and endlag, allowing Adeleine & Ribbon to move almost instantly after they are summoned. However, most of them can be attacked by opponents as well, defeating them early before the attack ends. Their attacks also cover the stage, as well as opponents, in paint, although this is only cosmetic.

Custom 1 - Explosive Wheelie: The Wheelie explodes after hitting an opponent, dealing more damage. However, it moves slower and cannot be cancelled if Adeleine is riding it.
Custom 2 - Monster Wheelie: The Wheelie will bury opponents instead of launching them, but it deals less damage.
Up Special - Bronto Burt: Adeleine brings out her canvas and creates a painting of a Bronto Burt. She grabs onto its legs as it flies upward. She can drift left and right while flying, and falls into a helpless state when she reaches peak height.

If the special button is held, Ice Dragon will create a block of ice and push it forward. If the special button is held while in midair, Ice Dragon will slam down, causing four icicles to fall, two on each side.
Waiu: If the special button is tapped, Waiu will throw out a purple crescent-shaped projectile. If the special button is held, Waiu will vanish before reappearing a short distance away. If the special button is held while in midair, Waiu will stomp down on the ground, creating a purple star that bounces along the ground three times before traveling upwards.

Custom 2 - Ado's Sculptor: The transformations are stronger, but don't last as long.
Final Form - Invincibility Candy: Adeleine pulls out her canvas and paints an Invincibility Candy before eating it, causing her and Ribbon to become rainbow-colored. In this state, Adeleine is faster and stronger. The summoned enemies are also much more difficult to defeat.
Final Smash - 0²: Adeleine pulls out her canvas and begins to draw on it while Ribbon watches, worryingly.

Dark Meta Knight Kirby & the Amazing Mirror (2004)
Dark Meta Knight is the Mirror World version of Meta Knight, appearing as a boss in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror and Kirby: Triple Deluxe, as well as a playable character in Kirby Star Allies. Despite looking nearly identical to Meta Knight, he has a much more vicious and darker personality, lacking the honor his lighter counterpart has. He has a much more aggressive fighting style, and has abilities not even the normal Meta Knight can achieve.
Obviously, Dark Meta Knight is very similar to Meta Knight, with five midair jumps and the ability to glide. However, his moveset is entirely different, taking inspiration from his attacks in Kirby Star Allies. A lot of his moves create large mirrors that allow Dark Meta Knight to summon giant versions of his sword. Uniquely, several of his moves are capable of reflecting projectiles.

Custom 2 - Pursuing Shot: The projectiles home in on opponents, but they travel slower.
Side Special - Wall of Mirrors: Dark Meta Knight creates a wall of mirrors in front of himself before making them disappear shortly after. This wall will reflect projectiles and serves as a wall that prevents opponents from walking past it. If the special button is held, the wall can remain held up, though he is left vulnerable. The wall can also be destroyed if it has taken 15% damage; when this happens, it cannot be used again for 15 seconds.
Custom 1 - Mirror Sword: Dark Meta Knight summons a massive sword that lunges out of a mirror that appears in front of him. Using directional inputs, the sword can be aimed up or down. It deals heavy damage, but cannot reflect projectiles.

Daroach is a recurring character in the Kirby series, first appearing as the main antagonist of Kirby: Squeak Squad. He is the leader of the Squeak Squad, a gang of mouse-like thieves that steal treasure.

It turns out to be Dark Nebula that hides within the chest, and it possesses Daroach. After being saved, he would later appear in Kirby Mass Attack and Kirby Star Allies, as an ally to Kirby.
Daroach is a fast and nimble middleweight, possessing great ground and air speed. He also has three midair jumps, and is in general a great aerial fighter.

When used for the third time, he summons Storo, who will perform three consecutive body slams, which heavily damage opponents, the last of which being able to spike and bury them. If the move is used again when a member of the Squeak Squad has already been summoned, Daroach instead summons a Squeaker, who hops around and deals little damage and knockback to opponents. Up to three Squeakers can be at play at once, and all Squeak Squad members can be defeated by opponents' attacks.
Custom 1 - Burly Squeaks: Spinni, Doc, and Storo can take more damage before being defeated, but they are slower and deal less damage.
Custom 2 - Sneaky Squeaks: Spinni's claw slashes will always launch opponents toward Daroach, Doc flies his UFO in an orbit around Daroach instead of around him horizontally, and Storo doesn't move forward, but his body slams can create shockwaves.
Final Form - Dark Daroach: Dark Nebula possesses Daroach, causing him to take on a much darker, fiery appearance. In this state, Daroach is much faster and his attacks deal more damage. Ice Laser and Daroach Bomb also don't need to be charged, as he will immediately use their fully-charged variants. He can also summon the Squeak Squad more quickly.

Susie, full name Susanna Patrya Haltmann, is a recurring character in the Kirby series, first appearing in Kirby: Planet Robobot. She is the executive assistant of the Haltmann Works Company, who comes to Popstar in order to exploit their natural resources. After Kirby defeats the owner of the company, President Haltmann, Susie takes the opportunity to attempt to steal the Mother Computer, Star Dream from him.

She helps Kirby defeat the machine, and as of Kirby Star Allies she is aiming to rebuild the company.
Susie has two very different movesets that she can switch between using her Guard Special. She can fight on foot where she is fast and lightweight, using various weapons and machines to attack such as the H.W.C Blaster and Transporter. Additionally, Susie has an extra midair jump while in this form. She can also fight while piloting her Business Suit (a large pink mech with a drill in place of legs). This turns her into a slow but powerful heavyweight fighter, losing the extra jump but gaining a mechanic where attacks that hit the mech will deal 0.5x the damage, as well as universal super armor; attacks that deal 20 units or less of knockback that hit the mech will not make the Susie flinch.

When Lucario lands an attack on his opponents, he will gain an amount of aura that is equal to the amount of damage that the move dealt. The amount of aura he has is displayed above his damage icon. Once he has accumulated 50 Aura, he will begin to emit aura from his hands. Lucario can have up to 150 aura, with the intensity of the aura on his hands growing every 50 he gets. He retains his aura even after being KOd, and can use this aura to power up his Special Moves by pressing the special and attacks buttons at the same time, costing 50 aura each time he does it.

Custom 2 - Feint Force: The move is enhanced by aura, dealing more damage. However, Lucario cannot dash during it.
Final Form - Mega Lucario: Lucario Mega Evolves into Mega Lucario. In this state, its aura-based attacks are faster, and deal more damage and knockback. Its aura is also permanently charged up, allowing it to use its stronger special move variants at any point.

Ness is the main protagonist of EarthBound, the second game in the MOTHER series. He is a young boy hailing from Onett, with the ability to utilize PSI moves, granting him strong psychic powers. One night, he wakes up from a meteor crash and investigates it. Here, he finds an alien named Buzz Buzz, who says Ness is the one destined to save the world from being known as Giygas. To accomplish this, he must travel the world to find other heroes and collect the Eight Melodies before it's too late.
Ness is a middleweight fighter who boasts powerful attacks using his baseball bat and PSI abilities, and can take quite a bit of damage before being KOd. He has a high jump and slow fall speed, and his throws are some of the strongest on the roster. He also has a unique mechanic where, upon being hit, his damage percentage will scroll up rather than automatically change to a new amount like other fighters. This replicates the battle system of EarthBound, where the character's HP would scroll down upon taking damage, meaning that even if you suffered a fatal blow you could still attack and potentially win the battle before your HP reaches 0.

There, Ness, accompanied by Paula, Jeff, and Poo, use their strongest attack on the enemy. Ness using PK Rockin' Omega, Jeff using a Big Bottle Rocket, Paula using PK Freeze Omega, and Poo using PK Starstorm Omega, finishing off the opponent and instantly KOing them if they are at over 100% damage. If Paula is one of the opponents in the match, her appearance in the cinematic will be replaced by a stuffed bear that does absolutely nothing, referencing the purchasable teddy bear item in EarthBound that acts as a temporary party member. The attack will deal the same amount of damage regardless, however.

Paula is a girl from Twoson, and is one of the main playable characters in EarthBound, being the first to join Ness, and the only female member of the team. She has advanced psychic powers, mainly wielding elemental PSI, and is shown to use telepathy as well. Ness is made aware of her existence when she contacts him through her telepathy in a dream, after being kidnapped by Pokey Minch, and brought to Peaceful Rest Valley to become the high priestess for the Happy Happyism cult. She gifts the Franklin Badge to Ness so that he may challenge and defeat the cult's leader, get the key to where she is imprisoned, and free her. Paula is one of the heroes destined to defeat Giygas, and is heavily implied to be Ness' love interest by the end of the game.
Paula is a floaty middleweight character who is fast, but easy to launch, and uses various PSI moves along with a frying pan to attack. She has a high jump height and slow falling speed, and possesses several projectiles that can deal heavy damage to opponents. However, she suffers from poor mobility. Additionally, Paula is unique in that her percentage will scroll up when hit rather than automatically changing to a new value.

Custom 1 - Telegraphed Prayer: The effects aren't as strong, but Paula will have an icon next to her percentage that shows what the next effect will be.
Custom 2 - Safety Prayer: Paula has super armor while praying, and can cancel the move into any attack.
Side Special - PK Fire: Paula fires a yellow, lightning-bolt shaped projectile that travels in a straight line until it hits an opponent or surface, at which point it explodes into a gradually fading pillar of fire, damaging opponents multiple times. If used in midair, Paula fires the bolt diagonally downward.
Custom 1 - PK Fire Burst: The bolt explodes on impact, launching opponents instead of damaging them multiple times.

Up Special - PK Thunder: Paula creates an orb of electricity that can be controlled with directional inputs, and will pass through surfaces. The orb damages opponents it hits, making them paralyzed. Hitting Paula with the orb allows her to use PK Thunder 2, where she launches in the opposite direction she was hit in, damaging opponents she hits. If she hits an opponent, she can use the move again. Otherwise, she enters a helpless state.
Custom 1 - Lasting PK Thunder: The orb lasts longer and can pass through opponents. It is harder to control, however.
Custom 2 - Automatic PK Thunder: The orb travels in a set path around Paula and hits her from behind, having her use PK Thunder 2 in a diagonally upwards angle. She travels less distance, deals less damage, and it cannot use it a second time regardless if she hits an opponent or not.
Down Special - PSI Magnet: Paula creates a blue PSI field around herself. She can keep the field up if the special button is held. In this state, projectiles that touch the field will be absorbed, healing Paula slightly. If the control stick is held forward during this move, Paula will thrust her arm forward to emit a glowing orb of PSI energy around her outstretched hand instead, which can damage opponents on top of absorbing projectiles, but leaves her vulnerable to being attacked with projectiles from behind.
Custom 1 - Damaging PSI Magnet: Instead of healing herself from projectiles, Paula damages opponents from inside the field.
Custom 2 - Reflecting PSI Magnet: The field reflects projectiles instead of absorbing them.

Lucas is the main protagonist of the Japan-exclusive MOTHER 3. Lucas once lived happily with his parents and twin brother, Claus, in Tazmily Village, only for his mother to be killed by a chimera known as a Mecha-Drago, with Claus going missing shortly after. After a struggle with the Pigmask Army, he learns the ability to use PSI powers, and goes on an adventure with his newfound allies to pull the Seven Needles to awaken the Dark Dragon under Nowhere Islands.
Lucas is a very floaty middleweight with unique gravity and falling speed that give him a strong aerial presence. He isn't very mobile on the ground, but his grab game is excellent and his attacks are quick. Lucas' moveset is mostly comprised of punches and kicks, enhanced with his PSI powers to deal more damage and knockback. He is also armed with his Rope Snake and a stick to use as weapons. Additionally, Lucas is unique in that his percentage will scroll up when hit rather than automatically changing to a new value.

Back Throw: Lucas telekinetically throws the opponent behind himself.
Up Throw: Lucas telekinetically whirls the opponent around himself before throwing them upward.
Down Throw: Lucas telekinetically slams the opponent into the ground, burying them.
Neutral Special - Offense Up: Lucas begins channeling PSI through his body, and can continue doing so by holding the special button. While doing so, he produces weak windboxes that push nearby opponents away. After five seconds, Lucas' hands will begin glowing red, significantly strengthening his Smash or Bash Attacks. If the move is used again in this state, Lucas emits a blast of PSI around himself, damaging opponents in the radius. Lucas can stay in this state indefinitely, but when he misses a Smash Attack, Crash Attack, or the spark, the charge will go away.
Custom 1 - Defense Up: Instead of powering up his attacks, Lucas increases his launch resistance, as well as increasing the size of his shield. He remains in this state for 12 seconds before he reverts to normal. Subsequent uses of the move increase the charge time.
Custom 2 - PK Spark: Lucas can only perform the spark attack, though it deals more damage and knockback.
Side Special - PK Flash: Lucas creates a green PSI projectile from his eyes that travels a short distance forwards, which can be charged. With no charge, the move simply makes opponents flinch, with some charge, it launches them, and at full charge, it will temporarily stun them.

Custom 2 - PK Blast: The projectile simply damages opponents, and can travel farther.
Up Special - PK Thunder: Lucas creates an orb of electricity that can be controlled with directional inputs, and will pass through surfaces. The orb damages opponents it hits, making them paralyzed. Hitting Lucas with the orb allows him to use PK Thunder 2, where he launches in the opposite direction he was hit in, damaging opponents he hits. If he hits an opponent, he can use the move again. Otherwise, he enters a helpless state.
Custom 1 - Lasting PK Thunder: The orb lasts longer and can pass through opponents. It is harder to control, however.
Custom 2 - Automatic PK Thunder: The orb travels in a set path around Lucas and hits him from behind, having him use PK Thunder 2 in a diagonally upwards angle. He travels less distance, deals less damage, and it cannot use it a second time regardless if he hits an opponent or not.
Down Special - Counter: Lucas takes a defensive stance. If hit during this, Lucas will negate all damage and knockback from the attack and begin to glow yellow. In this state, the next three attacks that hit Lucas will deal half the damage they normally do. After Lucas is hit a third time, he will release a burst of PSI that deals damage equal to the combined total of the last three attacks that hit him. After this, Lucas returns to normal.
Custom 1 - Deflect: Lucas will use the PSI attack immediately after being hit, but it deals less damage.
Custom 2 - Rebound: Lucas will use the PSI attack after being hit five times, but he will still take the normal damage and knockback from them.
Final Form - Lifeup: Lucas begins channeling PSI energy within himself, causing him to glow green aura. In this state, he attacks much faster and can launch opponents farther. His projectiles also travel more distance and he can jump higher. His falling speed is also slightly slower.
Final Smash - PK Love: Lucas raises his arm into the air as blue bursts of PSI surround him. Any opponents hit will be trapped in a cutscene where Lucas approaches one of the Seven Needles embedded in the ground, and pulls it out, causing the Dark Dragon to awaken and roar before it shoots a powerful PSI beam down towards the opponents, dealing massive damage and instantly KOing them if they are over 100% damage.
Entrance: Lucas rides in on a Mr. Saturn-styled coffee table, then hops off.
Up Taunt: Lucas trips, falls on his rear, and shakes his head before getting back up. Holding the taunt button will actually make Lucas trip, giving him the option to roll or do a floor attack.
Side Taunt: Duster's Rope Snake comes out of Lucas's pocket and has a brief conversation with him, as Lucas shrugs at it.
Down Taunt: Lucas Performs the Osohe Dance done by Wess in MOTHER 3. This taunt lasts for an incredibly long time (around sixteen seconds to be exact), but whenever the dance is successfully performed without any interruption, the ending pose produces a shockwave that deals a ton of damage, shocking opponents with paralysis before launching them, being capable on landing a one-hit KO on any character, regardless of damage.
Victory Animation 1: Lucas forcefully pulls one of the Seven Needles out of the ground, sending it flying off-screen while looking toward the screen in a battle-ready pose.
Victory Animation 2: With his back toward the screen, Lucas crouches while poking at something on the ground with a large stick. After the camera zooms in, he then turns his head around to face the screen and says "Huh?" while briefly sporting a surprised expression.
Victory Animation 3: Lucas bends down on one knee and waves his right arm in from himself while releasing blasts of PSI energy from his index and middle fingers.
Min Min is one of the playable fighters in the fighting game ARMS. Like the other fighters, she competes in the ARMS Grand Prix and uses her long, extendable arms to battle opponents. She works at the Mintendo Noodle House, her family's ramen restaurant, and fights in the ARMS Grand Prix to promote it.

Solo[]
Games & More has been renamed to simply Solo.
Classic Mode: Classic Mode returns and once again sees each character going through a unique route, now with 10 rounds instead of 8, including the round of Race to the Finish, which replaces Ultimate's bonus game, and a boss battle at the very end. All the bosses from Ultimate make their return, along with all new ones.
All-Star Mode: All-Star Mode is now a separate mode once again, where you take on each member of the cast. Characters are fought in order of when they first debuted, and characters from the same series are all fought within the same match.
Boss Rush: Players must go against all of the bosses that can be found in the game, featuring three healing items between each fight much like All-Star Mode.
Stadium Mode: Stadium Mode makes its grand return after being scrapped from Ultimate, where you can play Home Run Contest, and Multi-Man Smash, as well as character specific rounds of Break the Targets, and Board the Platforms.
Multi-Man Smash: Multi-Man Smash includes 100 Man Smash, 10 Minute Smash, Endless Smash, and Cruel Smash. In addition, the opponents you face in Multi-Man Smash will alternate between the Fighting Polygon Team from the original Super Smash Bros., the Fighting Wire Frame Team from Super Smash Bros. Melee, the Fighting Alloy Team from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and the Fighting Mii Team from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Smash Run: Smash Run returns from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, and now you're able to interact with the other players on the map, as well as choose what kind of match is played at the end, and how long the game lasts. Defeating another player gives you half the stat boosts that the other player lost. The different matches that can be played at the end of Smash Run include:
Free-For-All: A basic four stock match between all the players.
Race to the Finish: A race to see who can reach the end of an obstacle course first.
Climb to the Top: A vertical race where you must climb up to the finish line.
Enemy Rush: A group of 30 enemies appear and you must defeat them as quickly as possible.
Boss Battle: A random boss will appear and you must defeat them as quickly as possible.
Stage Builder: Stage Builder also returns and it is identical to the form it took in Ultimate, and includes new parts and set pieces. In addition, the background of the stage can be set to that of any official stage in the game, along with some extras.
Trophies[]
Trophies return as the replacement to Spirits, although they have the same function as Spirits. The Spirit Board returns, now named the Trophy Board. Each trophy has a unique description, detailing information about the character or item featured in the trophy. The only thing to not return is World of Light, which has been replaced with a new story campaign.
Vault[]
The Vault returns from Ultimate, including all the features from the original such as Sounds, Replays, Tips, Challenges, Records, Movies, and the Shop. Players now have the ability to record footage of the game just like other Switch titles, which can be viewed in the Vault and edited just like in Ultimate. Additionally, the Masterpieces from past games return, allowing you to play demos of the games that the various fighters originated from.
The Paint Studio is also located in the vault, and allows you to recolor certain parts of characters, to create your own palette swaps. A character’s default appearance, as well as their alternate costumes, can be recolored. Players can create as many custom colors as they please, and they can even be used online. Each fighter has 12 palette swaps/alternate costumes by default.
Stages[]
Every stage from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate returns, along with all of the past stages that didn't make it into that game. The only stages to not return in this game are Flat Zone 1 and 2, as well as Pictochat 1 and 2. This is because they were replaced with Flat Zone X and Pictochat X respectively.
All stages that appeared in the original Super Smash Bros. have the option to be played using either the original look from the N64 or a new, "Modern" version of the stage, by using the L and R buttons to cycle between them.
Battlefield
Super Smash Bros. (1999)
Battlefield is a classic stage that has appeared in every single Smash game, although it could not be played on in the original Super Smash Bros. through normal means. The stage is a simple strip of land with three floating platforms.
Final Destination
Super Smash Bros. (1999)
Final Destination is another classic stage that has appeared in every single Smash game, although it could not be played on in the original Super Smash Bros. through normal means. The stage is a simple flat piece of land floating in space.
Big Battlefield
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (2014)
Big Battlefield is simply a larger version of the regular Battlefield stage, that features six platforms instead of three. Just like Battlefield, you are able to play on all previous incarnations of the stage by using the L and R buttons to cycle through them..
Bowser's Castle
Super Mario Bros. (1985)
Bowser's Castle is a location that has appeared in almost every single game in the Super Mario series, and is usually where the final boss fight against Bowser takes place. This version of Bowser's Castle takes inspiration from both Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario World, and includes several elements from the series in the background such as Thwomps, Lava Bubbles, and the chain walls from Super Mario World with a Koopa hanging on.
The stage features a flat ground with three floating platforms above, the middle one being slightly higher than the other two. On the ground there is an axe that, when attacked, will fall down and cause the bridge to fall apart, forcing the fighters to battle on the top platforms until Kamek arrives to fix the bridge.
Wart's Throne Room
Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic (1987) / Super Mario Bros. 2 (1988)
Wart's Throne Room is the setting of the final boss fight against Wart in Super Mario Bros. 2/Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic. The floor is made of multi-colored blocks, and the Dream Machine sits in the middle of it. There are two floating purple platforms that the players can stand on, and occasionally the Dream Machine will shoot out vegetables that can be grabbed by players and thrown.
Doctor's Office
Dr. Mario (1990)
Doctor's Office is a simple flat stage, with graphics from Dr. Mario on the NES in the background. Megavitamins will fall onto the stage, being either red, blue, yellow, or a mix of two. The Megavitamins can land flat down, or standing upright, and they will deal damage to opponent's that are standing beneath them when they land.
Occasionally, the Viruses will appear on the stage, dealing damage to any players who come into contact with them. The players cannot defeat the viruses, however they will be destroyed if a matching colored Megavitamin lands right next to them, or on top of them.
Meta Crystal
Super Mario 64 (1996)
Meta Crystal is a stage from the original Super Smash Bros. that is finally making it's first official playable appearance in this game. The stage was originally exclusive to the Metal Mario boss fight in Classic Mode, but it can now be played in Multiplayer, just like any other stage.
The stage is based on Super Mario 64's Cavern of the Metal Cap, a cave that, once completed, allows you to unlock access to the Metal Cap powerup. The entrance is located in Hazy Maze Cave, behind a set of double doors in the underground lake area. The cave is decorated with large glittering crystals and has a stream of water running through the middle.
The stage's layout consists of a platform that is slightly raised to the right and lower to the left. Above the middle of the bottom platform is a flat floating platform.
Hyrule Castle
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)
Hyrule Castle is a recurring location in The Legend of Zelda series, however this stage is specifically based on the Hyrule Castle from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Death Mountain, another recurring area in the series, appears in the background. In the Modern version of the stage, Kaepora Gaebora will be perched on the left tower where he will occasionally fly away, and can be seen in the background, before returning to the tower.
The stage has a large main platform in the center. Three platforms float about midway across the main platform, with the middle to the right of the top and bottom ones. Connected to the left of the main platform is a slightly lower, slanted platform. To the right of the main platform is a lower, connected platform with a dark green gazebo-like structure in the middle of it. Players can stand on top of it, but can not fall through it.
Sometimes, a tornado will randomly spawn in one of four different locations on the stage: The middle platform, near the gazebo, on the left platform, and on the center platform. They last around 10-20 seconds, and move randomly in a direction, although they may suddenly speed up and home in on a character. If caught, a fighter is held for about two seconds before being dealt 14% and thrown upward.
Bridge of Eldin
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (2006)
The Bridge of Eldin is a location that appears in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It is situated over a large canyon with Zora's River running through it, and it connects the northern part of the Eldin Province to the large field in the southern part. After Link traverses the bridge for the first time, a large section of it is teleported away by Twilit Messengers. Later in the game, Link and Midna find the missing piece in the Gerudo Mesa and teleport it back via a Twilight Portal.
The stage itself is completely flat, reaching both of the side blastzones. Occasionally, a horn can be heard, where King Bulbin will then ride across the stage (sometimes followed by a Bulbin, which can be KOed by the fighters) and deal damage to any fighters in the way. He can be attacked, and if he takes enough damage he will simply ride by without doing anything, otherwise he will drop a bomb in the middle of the stage.
Shortly after, the bomb will explode, dealing damage and massive knockback to nearby fighters, as well as destroying the middle part of the bridge, creating a bottomless pit with grabbable ledges. Eventually, a Twilight Portal appears in the sky and fixes the stage, returning it to it's normal state.
The Great Fox
Star Fox (1993)/Star Fox 64 (1997)
The Great Fox is a fusion between the Sector Z stage from Super Smash Bros, and the Corneria stage from Super Smash Bros. Melee. This was done because the two stages are nearly identical except for Sector Z being much larger than Corneria.
The stage's size is comparable to Sector Z. Arwings and Wolfens will fly in from the right hand side or from up above to fire lasers at players. The lasers can damage players, but they will only make characters flinch and do no knockback. They may come in and lock on from the background, flying past the Great Fox. They also serve as moving platforms when they come, though they can carry characters past the blast zones.
The Great Fox also has two laser cannons in the front. Players can stand on these laser cannons, but they will charge and fire on occasion. Characters caught in the crossfire can very easily be KOed. The laser cannons can also be destroyed, which stops them from being used as platforms.
Lylat Cruise
Star Fox series.
Lylat Cruise is a stage that is based on different events in Star Fox games, most of which are from Star Fox: Assault. The stage takes place on an original spacecraft called the Pleiades as it flies around various areas of the Lylat System. The layout features a flat ground that slightly points downward at the ledges, as well as three platforms. The Pleiades tilts side-to-side as it makes turns and avoids shots from other ships.
During the battle, various different scenarios will occur in the background, including a space battle between the Cornerian army and Andross' army, a hazardous Star Fox flight through Meteo the asteroid belt, a dogfight between Star Fox and Star Wolf, a peaceful flight through the atmosphere of Corneria, and a cruise through space where the dogfight happens.
Yggdrasil's Altar
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (2017)
Yggdrasil, the world tree of Norse legend, is a recurring location in the Dragon Quest series, first introduced in Dragon Quest II.
At the start of a match, the stage is rooted to the ground, before rising into the air. The stage then travels over the world of Erdrea, showcasing many locations from Dragon Quest XI. The stage features many cameos from the Dragon Quest series, including Slimes, Spirits of Lost Time, and Cetacea.
Very rarely, a Metal Slime will appear in the background of the stage. The stage also features additional platforms that fly onto the playing field periodically. Treasure Chests may occupy one of these platforms, yielding an item to the player who attacks it. However, these chests may also be Mimics in disguise. Defeating the Mimic will also yield an item.
Mementos
Persona 5 (2016)
Mementos is one of the palaces featured in Persona 5. The layout of Mementos resembles Final Destination, but with a small slope in the middle of it, as well as two floating platforms on the left and center of the stage.
Sometimes a train will speed by underneath the stage, launching any opponents that touch it upward. A wall can also appear from the ceiling and sides of the stage that opponents will bounce off of. Occasionally a third platform will also appear on the right side of the stage.
In the background, the Morgana Car will appear and drop off a random member of the Phantom Thieves, who will observe the battle and cheer.
The color of the stage and background will change depending on which Persona game the background music comes from. Persona 5 songs make the stage red, Persona 4 songs make the stage yellow, and Persona 3 songs make the stage blue.
Items[]
Capsule
Super Smash Bros. (1999)
The Capsule is an item that can be picked up and thrown as a projectile. More often than not the Capsule will contain another item, however there is a small chance that it will explode instead.
Crate
Super Smash Bros. (1999)
The Crate is an item that can be picked up and thrown as a projectile. The player's movement speed will be decreased while holding a Crate, and they cannot jump while holding it. Donkey Kong and Toad are the only characters whose movement is not altered when holding a Crate. When the Crate is thrown or attacked, it will break and release several other items from within it. However there is also a chance that the Crate will explode. Sometimes the Crate will take on a different appearance based on the stage.
Barrel
Super Smash Bros. (1999)
The Barrel is an item that can be picked up and thrown as a projectile. The player's movement speed will be decreased while holding a Barrel, and they cannot jump while holding it. Donkey Kong and Toad are the only characters whose movement is not altered when holding a Barrel. When the Barrel is thrown or attacked, it will roll across the stage, and will break and release several other items from within it when it hits a wall or an opponent. However there is also a chance that the Barrel will explode. Sometimes the Barrel will take on a different appearance based on the stage.
Music Tracks[]
Super Smash Bros. X Universe has a wide variety of music tracks, including some from series that may not have a playable character in the roster. All menu themes from past Super Smash Bros. games are available, however, they are not listed here. Some songs have both the original rendition along with a remix available.
The "Other" category, represented by a generic music note, includes songs that either come from a series with no playable character, or a series that doesn't have enough music to warrant its own category.
Click on one of the franchise logos to be taken to that series' tracklist.
The name X Universe was inspired by Super Smash Bros. Universe, the rumored name for Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U before the game was officially revealed in 2013.
