[[File:DLC Spirits Selection Menu.jpg|thumb|The main selection menu for the mode, allowing players to select the Spirit Board of a specific Challenger Pack from Fighters Pass Vol. 1 & 2.]]
'''DLC Spirits''' is a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' mode added in [[List of updates (SSBU)#3.0.0|Version 3.0.0]] where players can collect [[spirit]]s based on each respective [[Downloadable_content_(SSBU)#Challenger_Packs|Challenger Pack]], with the background and music of the menu of each DLC Spirit Board being themed after it.

Unlike the [[Spirit Board]], Spirit Battles in this mode can be played as many times as the player wants, and if the player defeats a spirit, they get it right away instead of having to shoot it, much like in [[World of Light]]. These boards can also have multiple pages if there are more than eight spirits in a given board (excluding [[Enhanceable spirit|enhanced spirits]]).

In 3.0.0, the DLC Spirits button originally went straight to ''Persona'''s Spirit Board, but starting with [[List of updates (SSBU)#4.0.0|Version 4.0.0]], the selection was changed to a menu containing the various Spirit Boards for each Challenger Pack of Fighters Pass Vol. 1 & 2, with the options for the unreleased boards being labeled as "COMING SOON". Starting with [[List of updates (SSBU)#8.0.0|Version 8.0.0]], the menu was expanded to two columns with content from Fighters Pass Vol. 1 appearing on the left column and Vol. 2 appearing on the right column. The only way to access spirits exclusive to the DLC boards without the DLC being purchased is by spending Gold on them in the [[Vault]] [[Shop]] or finishing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with any fighter, although their Spirit Battles cannot be [[rematch]]ed in the {{h2|Inventory|Spirit List}}.

Completing all the Spirit Battles on a board will reward the player with 10,000 {{b|Gold|collectible}}.

==Trivia==
*''Tekken'' is the only DLC spirit board that does not contain a support spirit of the Legend-class.
**Each of these spirits contains a unique ability not featured on any other spirit in the game including Heihachi Mishima's Primary spirit trait.
*''Xenoblade Chronicles'' is the only DLC Spirit Board to contain more than one spirit of the Legend-class; Malos and Pneuma.
**It is also the only DLC Spirit Board that doesn't use a song from its corresponding Challenger Pack as its menu music.
*''Persona'' is the only DLC Spirit Board which contains recycled artwork, with Morgana appearing in both the Morgana and Phantom Thieves of Heart Spirit Battle.
*''Dragon Quest'' is the only DLC Spirit Board to have had a spirit added to its board after its release (Tockles).
*''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards to have spirit artwork specifically created for ''[[Ultimate]]'', similar to a handful of the [[List of spirits (Castlevania series)|''Castlevania'' spirits]].
**However, Pneuma's spirit artwork was made by Masatsugu Saito due to Pneuma herself lacking a full-size portrait in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'', while the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' DLC Spirit board spirits (minus Mumbo Jumbo and Jiggy) used renders based on their models from [[Spiral Mountain]].
*''Fatal Fury'' is the only DLC Spirit Board:
**To feature spirits outside of its universe.
**Whose background and music are themed around the corresponding fighter rather than a series or game.
*''ARMS'' and ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards to contain pre-existing spirits, with the spirits in question being:
**Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara, and Twintelle for ''ARMS''.
**Rex, Nia, Tora, Poppi α, Mòrag, and Zeke for ''Xenoblade Chronicles''.
**Min Min, Pyra, and Mythra were left out due to already being fighters.
**Some of these spirits may still appear on the regular Spirit Board. Of note, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara and Poppi α did not have Spirit Battles before the release of their corresponding DLC Spirit Boards, and could only be obtained via summoning.
*''Dragon Quest'', ''Banjo-Kazooie'', and ''Kingdom Hearts'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards to have only one page of spirits, given they have no more than eight spirits on the board.
*''Fatal Fury'' and ''ARMS'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards to not feature the Challenger Pack's corresponding stage as the background, instead featuring West Albuquerque from ''Fatal Fury 2'' and a poster containing multiple ARMS respectively.
*''Fatal Fury'' and ''Final Fantasy'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards whose respective fighters do not take part in any Spirit Battles therein.
*''Fatal Fury'', ''ARMS'', ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' and ''Tekken'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards to have no two Spirit Battles share the same music, including the menu music.
**Conversely, the ''Persona'' Spirit Board has six Spirit Battles that use ''Last Surprise'' as their music, the most of any DLC Spirit Board.
*''Fire Emblem'', ''Final Fantasy'' and ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards:
**That are based on pre-existing [[Universe#Primary universes|primary universes]].
**Which do not contain any unique background artwork, simply displaying images of their respective stages.
*The art representing the ''Fatal Fury'' Spirit Board on the DLC Spirits selection screen repurposes the fireball from Mario's ''SSB4'' render.
*The ''Minecraft'' Spirit Board's background shows a rotating panorama of a ''Minecraft'' map, reminiscent of ''Minecraft''{{'}}s title screen as of the 2019 Village & Pillage update.
*While most of the contents of Challenger Pack 8 were available via the [[Sephiroth Challenge]] starting from December 17, 2020, its corresponding spirits were not released until Challenger Pack 8's official release on December 22, 2020.
