<!--The Nintendo Switch family of systems, including the Nintendo Switch Lite, is marketed as a home console by Nintendo. So please do not add that Ultimate is the second installment in the Super Smash Bros. series to be released on a handheld after Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Also, do not add blatantly obvious trivia like Ultimate being the second installment in the series to have DLC. See SW:TRIV for what else not to add.-->
