The language selection offered by the site | The language selection offered by the site includes English, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Russian, like its predecessor, but also includes Chinese and Korean translations, the former in both Traditional and Simplified. Portuguese is no longer available; instead, there is a link to a Facebook page. | ||
The ''Home'' page has the looping panoramic artwork of all revealed playable characters (including DLC), scrolling horizontally; below are the recent videos and the recent Smash Blog posts. The ''About'' page gives a brief overview of the game's content, with links to the subpages within the site regarding characters, stages, items, and music. There is also a ''How to Smash'' page, detailing how to play the game in a similar manner to the in-game [[How to Play]] videos in past installments, the advanced techniques such as Perfect Shield, and other elements such as [[ | The ''Home'' page has the looping panoramic artwork of all revealed playable characters (including DLC), scrolling horizontally; below are the recent videos and the recent Smash Blog posts.

The ''Fighters'' page has a list of playable characters confirmed for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', which can be sorted in ascending or descending order. This page can also be displayed by universe (in the order of each universe's first fighter). Each character has their own character page. These pages can be accessed by clicking on the picture displaying the fighter on the website's Fighter page. Each character page contains the characters' official render in front of a background with a number, being larger depending on how late into the series they were introduced, and a stage in the game. After the game's launch, an option was added to change the character's palette by clicking on the characters on desktop versions and shaking the user's device on mobile. Lower on the page, a small 20-second video can be seen showing off the character's appearance in-game, with six additional screenshots, and links to other characters from the same universe (if the universe has multiple characters). The background color of the page changes according to character. However, the character showcase lack voice clips, presumably to make them easier to translate. | The ''Fighters'' page has a list of playable characters confirmed for ''Super Smash Bros.

The ''Music'' page updated every week until the game's launch with a new theme for viewers to listen to; a list can be found [[/Music|here]].

Finally, there is a ''Super Smash Blog'' page, similar to the daily updates on the DOJO!! and the ''Pics of the Day'' section on the ''Smash 4'' site, where series director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] posts about information regarding the game, discussing playable characters, stages, Assist Trophies, music, and items. The Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) sites receive an additional post for some playable characters, labelled as "memories", where Sakurai discusses the origins of the character in question; however, on October 3, 2018, the American site received one as well.
