Appearances[]

Super Smash Bros. Discord[]

Ring Fit Trainee appears as a unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. Discord, featuring a completely unique moveset that utilizes unique ranged attacks that hit characters mostly over their head or under them, allowing for completely unique projectile play that has to be guarded against with shields. S/he can also blow back opponents or pull them in with her ring. Her/him shield is also massively different, allowing her to take less damage and immunity to stun in lieu of the traditional rules of shielding, which guard against attacks and prevent damage entirely. Additionally, her/him body glows aflame when moving around, which powers up her attacks. As such, consistently moving around is encouraged to play best.

Ring Fit Trainee is unlocked when the player plays through every single minigame mode offered in the game or through X Marks the Spot. She has a special team-up name with Wii Fit Trainer which names the duo as "Exercise Masters".

Trivia[]

Ring Fit Trainee also has a male version which can be seen in this video by Ars Technica. Interestingly, he has been absent from almost all promotional material.
The character's skin and hair color can be altered during character creation but this appears to be the only customization beyond clothing that Ring Fit Adventure allows, as this video by Gamexplain talks about. (14:10 mark)
