| '''Conditions''' ({{ja|ヒント|Hinto}}, ''Hint'') are a mechanic in the {{b|Spirits|menu}} mode and [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Each [[Spirit]] Battle contains one or more special conditions themed around the opposing spirit that the player is facing. There are many different conditions, such as the opponent only using [[taunt]]s, or favoring certain attacks. In addition to conditions, battles may also have "rules" ({{ja|ルール|Rūru}}, ''Rules''), which behave similarly and are shown on the left of the screen. Up to three rules and conditions can be displayed on screen, but battles may have more that aren't shown. Certain [[spirit]]s have abilities specifically designed to counter or negate certain conditions, and these are usually selected if a player creates a random spirit team. | | '''Conditions''' are a mechanic in the {{b|Spirits|menu}} mode and [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

| ===Fighter variants===

| Some fighters have prefixes (or postfix in the case of "Team") attached to their name to indicate they are under the effect of a particular transformation during battle. Occasionally they also appear in the list of conditions, but not always. In some cases, these effects apply only to the main fighter, while minions may or may not be under the same effect. While Giant and Tiny enemies are comparable to the effects of their respective Mushrooms, their sizes do not always translate to the item's effect, meaning that they may be larger or smaller than a normal-sized fighter under those effects.

| ==Trivia ==
| |
| *The conditions that affect the floors do not always affect the stage entirely and is inconsistent between battles. For example, even though both battles use a [[Battlefield form]] stage with a Lava Floor hazard, {{h2|List of spirits (Sonic the Hedgehog series)|Blaze the Cat}}'s spirit battle features the hazard affecting the main platform, while {{h2|List of spirits (Fire Emblem series)|Edelgard}}'s condition affects only the three soft platforms.
| |
| *The "The Legend of Zelda" items category includes 3 items which are not from ''The Legend of Zelda'', but oddly does not include several items that actually are from ''The Legend of Zelda'', such as Bunny Hood, Deku Nut and Bombchu, which would make a good substitute for Bob-omb.
| |
| *The condition "Only certain Pokémon will emerge from Poké Balls" is technically inaccurate, as only the Poké Ball the opponent starts with is predetermined, and subsequent Poké Balls are random.
| |
| *{{SSBU|Lucario}} is the only fighter who is mentioned by name in a condition, being '''"Lucario's [[Aura]] has increased power"'''. Though as with the corresponding [[Spirit#Attack skills|Spirit effect]], this would presumably also affect {{SSBU|Richter}}'s [[Holy Water]].
| |
| *While a few opponents do start their battles with a {{b|Boomerang|item}}, the condition "The enemy starts the battle with a Boomerang" is never specifically listed, even when there are less than three conditions on-screen.
