Editing DLC Spirits (mode)

{{ArticleIcons|ssbu=y}}
[[File:DLC Spirits Selection Menu.jpg|thumb|right|The main selection menu for the mode as of Version 9.0.0, 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 update {{SSBU|3.0.0}} where players can collect [[spirits]] based on each respectable [[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, then they get it right away instead of trying to shoot it, much like in the [[World of Light]]. These boards can also have multiple pages if there are more than eight spirits from a given board (excluding the [[Enhanceable spirit|enhanced spirits]]).

In 3.0.0, the DLC Spirits button originally went straight to the ''Persona 5'''s Spirit Board, but starting with update 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". The only way to access spirits on the DLC boards without the DLC being purchased is by spending Gold on them in the Vault [[Shop]].

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

==Trivia==
*Every DLC Spirit board contains one support spirit of the Legend-class.
**Each of these spirits contains a unique ability not featured on any other spirit in the game.
*''Persona'' and ''Dragon Quest'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards that contain no primary Neutral type spirits.
*''Persona'' and ''Fatal Fury'' are the only DLC Spirit Boards that each contain two primary Grab type spirits and two primary Attack type spirits.
*''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'' is the only DLC Spirit Board:
**That contains no primary Attack type spirits.
**To have spirit artwork specifically created for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', similar to a handful of the [[List of spirits (Castlevania series)|''Castlevania'' spirits]].
*''Fatal Fury'' is the only DLC Spirit Board:
**To feature spirits outside of its universe.
**Whose corresponding character is not fought in any Spirit Battle.
**In which the Legend spirit is not the last one on the list (not counting Tockles being added after the DLC Spirit Board itself).
***However, Geese Howard, the Spirit board's Legend-class spirit, is the last ''Fatal Fury'' spirit in order, as all other spirits after him are considered "Others" spirits.
**Whose background and music are themed around the corresponding fighter rather than a series or game.
*''Fire Emblem'' is the only DLC Spirit Board:
**Based on a pre-existing [[Universe#Primary universes|primary universe]].
**Which does not contain any unique background artwork, simply displaying an image of the Cathedral of {{SSBU|Byleth}}'s home stage, [[Garreg Mach Monastery]].
*''ARMS'' is the only DLC Spirit Board:
**To contain pre-existing spirits, with the spirits in question being Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara, and Twintelle.
**To contain two primary Neutral type spirits.
*''Minecraft'' is the only DLC Spirit Board:
**That contains no primary Shield type spirits.
*''Dragon Quest'' and ''Banjo-Kazooie'' are currently 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 currently the only DLC Spirit Boards to have no two Spirit Battles share the same music, including the menu music.
*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 Bedrock Edition's title screen.
