While most [[spirit]]s are available for free, usually launched during [[Spirit Board]] events or with the release of a new Challenger Pack DLC, DLC [[fighter spirit]]s cannot be obtained without owning their corresponding Challenger Pack. Fighter spirits can be unlocked through {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} or purchased from the [[Shop]] for 300 coins. Spirits associated with an owned Challenger Pack can be fought and obtained through a special [[DLC Spirits (mode)|DLC Spirit Board]] that does not have spirits expire or use the [[Puppet fighter]] scene; otherwise, they may appear for purchase in the Vault Shop whether their corresponding Challenger Pack is owned or not. Spirits introduced in Spirit Board events are initially obtainable only for the duration of that event, and become permanently available at a later date.

Every fighter, with the exception of {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}}, is bundled with a stage, music tracks, and [[spirit]]s related to the fighter on a [[DLC Spirits (mode)|DLC Spirit Board]]. With the exception of fighter spirits, these DLC spirits can also be purchased from the Vault Shop even if their respective Challenger Packs are not purchased. There are five Challenger Packs in total in the Fighters Pass Vol. 1, and six in Fighters Pass Vol. 2. Compared to purchasing Challenger Packs individually, both Passes are priced at an approximately 17% discount.

Fighters Pass Vol. 2 Fighters.jpg| Complete Fighters Pass Vol. 2.

*{{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} is the only DLC character with a unique Palutena's Guidance conversation.

*With the sole exception of Piranha Plant (referred to by its Japanese name "packun"), every downloadable fighter’s name in the code differs from that of their actual names. {{SSBU|Joker}}'s code name is "jack" ([[Arsène]]'s code name is "doyle"), {{SSBU|Hero}}'s is "brave," {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s is "buddy" (with Kazooie specifically sometimes referred to as "partner"), {{SSBU|Terry}}'s is "dolly," {{SSBU|Byleth}}'s is "master," {{SSBU|Min Min}}'s is "tantan," Steve's is "pickel" ([[Creeper]]’s codename is "scarier"), Sephiroth's is "edge," {{SSBU|Pyra}}'s is "eflame," {{SSBU|Mythra}}'s is "elight," as a pair Pyra & Mythra's is "element" ([[Rex]]'s codename is "diver"), {{SSBU|Kazuya}}'s is "demon" and {{SSBU|Sora}}'s is "trail."

*Following most DLC fighter reveals, the [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site]] was mistakenly updated to add fighter slots for recently revealed fighters without removing corresponding "mystery fighter" slots, resulting in extra empty slots that never corresponded to actual unrevealed fighters.

*Banjo, Kazooie, Min Min, and Sora are the only DLC characters whose voice clips are recycled from their own games rather than recorded specifically for ''Smash'', while Piranha Plant and Steve are the only DLC fighters to not have any voice clips.

*In North America, when trailers for new Mii Fighter costumes are shown off, costumes of characters that are from a franchise that typically have M-rated installments from the ESRB only show the name of the character alongside the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' logo, rather than the logo of the franchise the character is from. This has occurred with [[Altaïr]] (''Assassin's Creed''), [[Vault Boy]] (''Fallout''), [[Travis Touchdown]] (''No More Heroes''), [[Dragonborn]] (''The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim''), [[Dante]] (''Devil May Cry''), and [[Doom Slayer]] (''Doom'').

**Four of the Mii Fighter costume reveals would additionally gain a "rated TEEN by the ESRB" notice when the character's respective logo for a series that typically has T-rated installments from the ESRB appeared, those being the [[Monster Hunter|Hunter's Mail]] and [[Rathalos#As_a_Costume|Rathalos Mail]] (both from ''Monster Hunter''), [[Lloyd Irving|Lloyd]] (''Tales of Symphonia''), and [[Shantae]] (the series of the same name, possibly referring to the games ''Shantae and the Pirate's Curse'', ''Shantae: Half-Genie Hero'' and ''Shantae and the Seven Sirens'', as the first two installments are not T-rated).

**Oddly, even though Altair, Vault Boy, and Travis' game logos were shown in the European versions of their trailers, this did not happen with Dragonborn, Dante or Doom Slayer, as their game logos are only shown in the Japanese versions of their trailers.

**''Persona'', another series that typically has M-rated installments, did not originally follow this pattern. However, starting with Byleth's presentation, the North American versions of the ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'' presentations removed the logos of the games each of the DLC fighters hail from when showing an overview of the Fighters Passes, possibly due to ''Persona 5'''s rating.

***Later in 2022, an [https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/take-a-look-back-at-super-smash-bros-fighter-reveals-with-masahiro-sakurai-part-2/ article] on Nintendo's website detailing ''Ultimate''{{'}}s reveal trailers refers to ''Persona 5'' as "Joker's original game".

**In a similar vein, the UK version of the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' website shows Kazuya's series as ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' × ''Kazuya'' rather than ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' × ''Tekken'' like in other regions. The logos for other franchises in the "Display by Series" option of the Fighters page would later be removed from the European websites due to this.

*Oddly, when the Mii Fighter costumes for [[Barret]] and [[Tifa]] were shown, the trailer in Sephiroth's ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'' video as well as the separately-uploaded trailer with the Wave 8 Mii costumes uploaded the same day shows the logo of ''Final Fantasy VII'' next to the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' logo. However, the separate video was taken down and reuploaded on January 11, 2021, and the ''Final Fantasy VII'' logo was changed to just ''Final Fantasy''.

**This may be due to rating issues, which can be evidenced by how Sephiroth's page on the North American website includes a "''FINAL FANTASY VII'' RATED TEEN BY THE ESRB" message, which also applies to Pyra/Mythra and Kazuya's pages with their respective games.

**Despite that, the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' × ''Final Fantasy'' screen still appears during the [[Chocobo]] reveal, though this is likely due to the fact that the character is not tied to any specific installment.

*At the end of October 2019, on the North American English-language official site only, Piranha Plant's purchase cost was incorrectly changed from US$4.99/CA$6.29 to US$5.99/CA$7.55 to match all of the other fighters. This error remains as of October, 2023.<ref>[https://smashbros.nintendo.com/buy/dlc/]</ref> The actual eShop price charged remains the correct (lower) price. This error does not appear to be present in any other languages or regions.
