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 10.1.0, 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 [[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 is 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]], 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==
*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.
*''Xenoblade Chronicles'' is the only DLC Spirit Board to contain more than one spirit of the Legend-class; Malos and Pneuma.
*''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 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 background and music are themed around the corresponding fighter rather than a series or game.
*''Fire Emblem'' is the only DLC Spirit Board which does not contain any unique background artwork, simply displaying an image of the Cathedral of {{SSBU|Byleth}}'s home stage, [[Garreg Mach Monastery]].
*''Xenoblade Chronicles'' is the only Spirit Board to contain Legend class Primary spirits as well as multiple Legend class spirits.
*''ARMS'' and ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' are currently 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''.
*''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.
*''Fire Emblem'', ''Final Fantasy'' and ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' are currently the only DLC Spirit Boards based on pre-existing primary universes.
*''Dragon Quest'', ''Banjo-Kazooie'', ''Fire Emblem'', and ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' are currently the only DLC Spirit Boards that contain enhanceable spirits.
*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.
*While most of the contents of Challenger Pack 8 were available via early access starting from December 17, 2020, its corresponding spirits were not released until Challenger Pack 8's official release on December 22, 2020.
