As in ''Smash 4'', further "characters" exist as alternate costumes for preexisting characters. In this game, | As in ''Smash 4'', further "characters" exist as alternate costumes for preexisting characters. In this game, eighteen characters have such costumes: [[Alph]] is accessible as a playable character via [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]]'s [[alternate costume]]s; the seven [[Koopalings]] are available as playable characters via [[Bowser Jr.]]'s alternate costumes; one of [[Pichu]]'s costumes depicts the specific "Spiky-eared" variant; [[Alex]], a [[Zombie]] and an [[Enderman]] appear as Steve's alternate costumes; Pokémon Trainer, [[Wii Fit Trainer]], [[Robin]], [[Corrin]] and Byleth each have opposite-gendered variants as alternate costumes; [[Pikachu]] possesses both an opposite-gendered variant and a costume depicting the specific "Cosplay" Pikachu variant; each of [[Villager]]'s and Inkling's costumes represent different customization options for the character, including gender; the Hero has three other protagonists from across the ''Dragon Quest'' series as palette swaps; the [[Ice Climbers]] swap the playable Ice Climber from Popo to Nana in half of their alternate costumes; [[Dark Link]] is available as an alternate for [[Link]], [[Young Link]], and [[Toon Link]]; and [[Galacta Knight]] and [[Dark Meta Knight]] appear as alternates for [[Meta Knight]]. Additionally, the [[Mii Fighter]]s have alternate gender options depending on the created Mii used for them. However, none of these characters are treated separately in-game. | ||
Only the [[Fighter#"Perfect-attendance crew"|Original 8]] characters from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and any DLC fighters that have been purchased are available from the start. Like in ''Smash 4'', the Mii Fighters are also available via customization without needing to be unlocked traditionally but are still technically locked upon initial startup of the game. The rest of the cast must be unlocked; however, the unlocking process and conditions are much simpler than in past games. Fighters will challenge the player in ten-minute intervals after completing a basic activity, such as a battle or by clearing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} with a prerequisite character, and can also be unlocked by being rescued in [[World of Light]], rather than having unique unlock criteria for each character. | Only the [[Fighter#"Perfect-attendance crew"|Original 8]] characters from ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and any DLC fighters that have been purchased are available from the start.
