'''Wii Fit Trainer''' ({{ja|Wii Fit トレーナー|Wii Fit Torēnā}}, ''Wii Fit Trainer'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018. Wii Fit Trainer is classified as fighter #47. As in Smash 4, both the female and male versions of Wii Fit Trainer are playable.

October Moore and Steve Heinke's portrayal of the female and male Wii Fit Trainers from ''SSB4'' was repurposed for the American English versions of ''Ultimate''. Tania Emery and Luke Smith's portrayal of the female and male Wii Fit Trainers from ''SSB4'' was repurposed for the British English versions of ''Ultimate''. Hitomi Hirose and Tomoyuki Higuchi's portrayal of the female and male Wii Fit Trainers from ''SSB4'' was repurposed for the Japanese version of ''Ultimate''.

*The Dutch and Russian versions of ''Ultimate'' also use Wii Fit Trainer's British English voices.

*The Korean and simplified/traditional Chinese versions of ''Ultimate'' also use Wii Fit Trainer's Japanese voices.

With the exception of the third method, Wii Fit Trainer must then be defeated on [[Wii Fit Studio]].

Wii Fit Trainer is a somewhat tall middleweight. She possesses a fast [[walking]] speed (the 24th highest), slightly above average [[dash]]ing speed, a fast initial dash, average [[air speed]], high [[air acceleration]] (tied for the 21st highest), high [[jump]]s, average [[gravity]], has the 11th highest [[traction]] and is tied with Isabelle and the Ice Climbers for the 7th-9th slowest [[falling speed]]. In addition, she has one of the longest tech rolls and ledge rolls in the game, which can make her hard to punish even if a roll is expected. These attributes give her overall good mobility, although, similarly to Luigi and Pit, Wii Fit Trainer is somewhat floaty for her weight class, and is one of the floatiest characters in the game. She can also [[wall jump]] and [[crawl]], with the latter being one of the shortest in terms of hurtbox height, making it useful defensively.

Wii Fit Trainer possesses a great damage racking game, possessing several attacks that deal high damage and/or have KO potential, and her [[Deep Breathing]] makes her faster and stronger for a few seconds as well as causing her to take less damage. Her attacks also have unusual hitbox placements or properties, since for some of her attacks they can hit on both sides. For example, with her forward tilt, it can hit in front of her with her arm and behind with her leg; this also applies to forward smash, forward aerial, and the first hit of her jab, while the third hit of the jab has a sweet spot that buries opponents.

Wii Fit Trainer also has two strong projectiles, [[Sun Salutation]] and [[Header]]. The former can be charged, with the fully charged version dealing high damage, good knockback, and healing her by 2%. The latter is very versatile, with several different common uses. Not only can it combo into many of her attacks, but it can also be used as a long-lasting meteor smash if the opponent is directly in front of them, a way to both enter advantage and exit disadvantage, a virtually infinite pool of mixups and setups with header cancels, and even a recovery tool since it gives Wii Fit Trainer slight upward momentum when used in the air which can allow for stalling and greater horizontal movement.

Wii Fit Trainer also possesses a great air game. With the exception of her back aerial, she can autocancel all of her aerials in a short hop, with neutral aerial and forward aerial even being fast enough to squeeze a back aerial in before landing. Neutral aerial consists of two hits, with the first one having hitboxes on her arms and legs which lead into the second hit, dealing a total of 14% if both hits connect. This is one of her best combo starters and extenders due to its low lag, low knockback, and 90° launch angle. Because of this, a well placed neutral aerial can easily lead to 70% combos or even extremely early kills with setups such as neutral air 1 to up smash. Forward aerial has good power, fast startup, and very little ending lag, with extremely favorable autocancel windows. It also has a hitbox on Wii Fit Trainer's foot which serves as a weak but quick meteor smash, being one of the fastest in the game at frame 9. Back aerial is her fastest aerial in terms of the startup, coming out on frame 5, but is also the strongest, possessing a small sweet spot on her feet on the first active frame with very high power. Up aerial has decent knockback and is good for juggling, with a surprisingly large disjoint that can often beat out opponents landing aggressively. Down aerial is a powerful meteor smash with exceptional hitboxes; the sweet spot covers more than half of the Wii Fit Trainer's body with no initial sour spot. In addition, down aerial has a fairly low ending and landing lag, making it fairly safe on shield along with neutral and forward aerial.

Wii Fit Trainer generally fights well in both long-range and close-quarters combat due to her useful projectiles and hard-hitting normals, but struggles at mid-range as a result of her lack of range on her tilts and aerials. As such, the character may sometimes have trouble approaching, and typically relies on Header to do so. Wii Fit Trainer has some of the most punishing combos in the game when it comes to damage, but getting close enough to the opponent to start a powerful combo can sometimes prove difficult.

Wii Fit Trainer notably excels both offstage and on the [[ledge]]. While neither of these areas is where she wants to be necessarily, she has several tools that give her more options than the average character in these scenarios. The most important of these tools is Header, as it can cover Wii Fit Trainer's recovery, as well as stall her in the air or cover ledge options. Due to the character's below-average airspeed and slow fall speed (without Deep Breathing), she can sometimes struggle to land safely. She also possesses three different meteor smashes: Header, down aerial and forward aerial's foot hitbox, and they support Wii Fit Trainer's very good edgeguarding ability.

Her grab game is serviceable, with both [[forward throw]] at low percents and especially [[up throw]] at mid percents offering some combo potential. [[Down throw]] is often used at low percents as well, however, the throw has no true followups on the majority of the cast. Despite several options for combo throws, Wii Fit Trainer lacks a solid kill throw; back throw, her strongest throw, typically doesn't KO until well past 140%. This can be remedied somewhat with Deep Breathing.

Wii Fit Trainer's smash attacks are all rather volatile, as they possess a high risk for high reward. All three moves are far above average in strength, especially [[up smash]], which is one of the strongest up smashes in the game when connecting the sweet spot on her hands even without Deep Breathing. The move's solid vertical range, quick startup, and 4 frames of full-body intangibility also make it a good anti-air tool. Forward smash is a solid punishing tool since it hits on both sides of Wii Fit Trainer with a large horizontal range, which can also be used to catch landings. The move's main weakness is the notable blindspot directly below Wii Fit Trainer's arms. Down smash is a [[semi-spike]] that hits on both sides of Wii Fit Trainer simultaneously, and is her only smash attack that can consistently cover the area close to the ground. Despite her smash attacks' strengths, these moves also come with the downside of large amounts of [[ending lag]], making them extremely punishable when missed. Although Wii Fit Trainer has several strong attacks, she sometimes has trouble taking stocks, as many of her KO moves are hard to land or are inconsistent, such as [[forward tilt]] and [[back air]]'s poor hitboxes, with the former's large blind spots on both the front and back hits and the latter's sweetspot only lasting for one frame. In addition, forward aerial typically cannot cover the space directly in front of or behind the Wii Fit Trainer. All these inconsistencies add up, leaving Wii Fit Trainer with few truly reliable kills moves, although this weakness was somewhat remedied in update {{SSBU|8.0.0}}.

Due to her unorthodox moveset, relatively steep learning curve, and lack of the mass appeal that many ''Smash Bros.'' characters possess, Wii Fit Trainer has a fairly small player base, although she has received much more attention than in ''Smash 4'' since her overall viability has been greatly improved. It remains to be seen how she will fare in the long run of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s competitive scene.

Wii Fit Trainer has been significantly buffed from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate''. Many of her moves have received various improvements, be it to their [[hitbox]] durations and/or placements, overall lag, mobility, projectiles, kill power, or damage output, making Wii Fit Trainer's moveset function more effectively overall.

Many of Wii Fit Trainer's notoriously inconsistent attacks have been improved: [[forward tilt|forward]] and [[up tilt]] both last longer, with the latter having [[intangibility]] on the attacking arm and reaching farther upward than before, making it better for contesting aerials. Up tilt, [[dash attack]], [[forward smash]], [[down smash]] and [[forward aerial]] have lower ending lag, while [[up smash]] and [[down aerial]] come out faster. Up smash also has a larger [[sourspot]], making it less likely to whiff. Many of Wii Fit Trainer's aerials' hitboxes have been improved so they connect more consistently, including forward aerial (which now has a small but useful body hitbox) and down aerial (whose spike hitbox is now much larger and lasts slightly longer). In addition, dash attack and [[down tilt]] deal more damage, [[up throw|up]], [[down throw]], and [[forward throw]] all possess combo potential, and [[neutral attack]]'s finisher [[buries]] much more consistently thanks to the universal changes to neutral attack angles as well as a larger [[sweetspot]] on the final hit. All these changes greatly improve her damage racking potential, while making it less likely for her moves to whiff. Down tilt has also received a lower launch angle, greatly increasing its [[KO]] ability.

Wii Fit Trainer's special moveset has been noticeably buffed as well. [[Sun Salutation]] deals significantly more damage and knockback when fully charged and can be [[charge-cancel]]ed with a jump, much like other storable chargable moves. [[Header]] functions significantly better as a projectile, as the ball is bigger, deals more damage, bounces faster and lower, has more variable angles if headbutted, and almost always keeps its hitbox while active, making ball setups much more viable. [[Super Hoop]] now deals multiple hits, which improves its damage if all hits land. Finally, [[Deep Breathing]] has been dramatically improved: it can be activated more easily and faster, has a lower recharge penalty if failed, and lasts a few seconds longer. It also grants faster [[fall speed]], [[gravity]], [[air speed]], [[traction]], [[initial dash]] speed and [[dash]] speed alongside the move's original buffs to [[walk]] speed, damage output, and reduction of damage taken. This overall mobility increase, coupled with both Deep Breathing's improved x1.25 damage increase and Wii Fit Trainer's already hard hitting attacks, allows her to deal massive damage during each Deep Breathing use, heavily improving its utility.

Finally, Wii Fit Trainer benefits from the game's universal changes. The universal increase to mobility helps her close out the distance between the opponent more easily, and this is complemented by the ability to use any attack out of a run, somewhat alleviating her short range. The streamlined [[jumpsquat]] allows her to use aerials more effectively, while the increased [[shieldstun]] and slower shield drop speed improves the safety of her projectiles and certain attacks such as down tilt. The limit to a single [[air dodge]] also allows her projectiles to cover options better and catch landings with her high mobility, while the reintroduction of directional air dodges slightly improves her horizontal recovery and makes it easier to mix up. The generally lower landing lag on aerials makes all of Wii Fit Trainer's aerials safer to use as well, making neutral and forward air particularly safe on shield.

In spite of all this, Wii Fit Trainer is not without a few nerfs. The biggest nerf was to Super Hoop, which travels a shorter max distance even when mashed, making her recovery less flexible (although it is also easier to reach maximum height). In terms of her standard moveset, the back hit of forward tilt has less horizontal range, neutral aerial links into its second hit less consistently, and neutral attack's second hit can now make opponents [[trip]] or slide out of the full combo, which can cause the third hit's bury to still miss. Wii Fit Trainer also retains most of her weaknesses from ''Smash 4''. While her overall moveset has been heavily improved, her neutral game is still somewhat lacking due to her lack of options at mid-range, and her disadvantage state is still extremely lackluster due to very few ways to escape pressure, deal with projectiles, or get back onstage, which is further harmed by the nerfs to dodging and dodge intangibility. Additionally, some of her moves such as forward tilt still have large blindspots, making small characters such as {{SSBU|Olimar}} and {{SSBU|Pichu}} a struggle to deal with.

Overall, Wii Fit Trainer's strengths and weaknesses have been further defined. While her moveset hasn't changed much in terms of functionality, its significant improvements now let her properly function as a unique, projectile-based bait-and-punish character who relies on her unorthodox setups and options to pressure the opponent into making poor decisions, and then using her speed and massive damage output to capitalize. However, her weaknesses in approaching and landing consistent hits remain, making it important for her to keep opponents from rushing her down or camping her out, and her worse recovery distance has made her offstage disadvantage state harder to endure. Regardless, Wii Fit Trainer's buffs considerably outweigh the nerfs she received, and she has had surprising success in early competitive play, with notable players such as {{Sm|John Numbers}}, {{Sm|varun}} (both of who use her as a main), and {{Sm|WaDi}} (who has used her as a secondary) placing well at high-level tournaments. However, Wii Fit Trainer still has a relatively small playerbase, making it difficult to determine how well she will fare competitively in the long run, though she is generally agreed to be a solid upper-mid or even low-high tier character, in comparison to her low-mid to low tier status in ''Smash 4''.

Wii Fit Trainer has received a mix of buffs and nerfs via game updates, but has been notably buffed overall. While update {{SSBU|1.1.0}} offered a few small buffs, update {{SSBU|3.0.0}} improved Wii Fit Trainer greatly both by making neutral attack a much more consistent option and increasing the potency of [[Deep Breathing]], which was already one of Wii Fit Trainer's most useful moves to begin with. In addition, update {{SSBU|3.1.0}} further improved neutral attack's consistency and opened up new [[jab lock]] options, allowing for greater capitalization in certain scenarios. Most recently, update {{SSBU|8.0.0}} introduced several meaningful buffs which generally improved the consistency of Wii Fit Trainer's killpower. This was accomplished through buffs to down tilt and [[Sun Salutation]] that made both moves kill significantly earlier, as well as up smash coming out more quickly and consequently becoming a more widely usable option. More minor buffs include making forward air and down smash less laggy, with the former of which becoming even more safe on shield and a more consistent kill setup option as well.

Wii Fit Trainer has seen very few nerfs thus far aside from the near-universal projectile nerf in update 3.0.0. [[Header]]'s ability to phase the soccer ball through stages was removed in 3.0.0, which was likely intended to be more of a bug fix than a direct nerf. Header received a hidden change in 3.0.0 as well, as it was altered to send the ball at a less steep angle, making it less useful at close and mid ranges as well as during recovery.

*Wii Fit Trainer can increase overall damage output by x1.25 with [[Deep Breathing]], consequently affecting knockback as well. The following moveset list details the properties of all attacks when Deep Breathing has not been used.

|neutralname=Lunge

|neutraldesc=Performs a Sideways Leg Lift, Single Leg Twist, and Lunge to attack with an outstretched arm, knee strike, and kneeling stomp, respectively. The first hit also has a rear hitbox on Wii Fit Trainer's leg. The third hit is able to [[bury]] grounded opponents, which can easily follow up into a tilt attack or a smash attack. However, Wii Fit Trainer can also wait for the opponent to wriggle out of being buried and catch them with an aerial attack. The first two attacks are able to jab lock, and the second hit has a chance to trip the opponent.

|ftiltname=Dancer

|utiltname=Triangle

|utiltdesc=Assumes the Triangle pose to attack with an outstretched arm. The hitbox covers Wii Fit Trainer's arm and body while stepping back to assume a triangle pose. The rising arm is intangible. The arm hitbox launches the opponent straight up and is reliable for combos, particularly into itself and up smash, or as a follow-up from a short-hopped up aerial. The body hitbox sends the opponent away at a diagonal angle.

|dtiltname=Bridge

|dtiltdesc=Assumes the Bridge pose to attack with both knees. It has fairly quick start-up and deals both respectable damage and high hitstun, but lacks knockback for its power and has high ending lag. Useful for retaliating after dodging with a notable low crouch, hitting opponents on the ledge, or applying relatively safe shield pressure due to the pushback the move has.

|dashname=Gate

|fsmashname=Warrior

|usmashname=Tree

|usmashdesc=Assumes the Tree pose to attack with outstretched clasped hands. Hits around Wii Fit Trainer with a weaker body hitbox. It has good vertical range and it grants [[intangibility]] from start-up, making it useful for aerial protection. The uncharged body hitbox KOs Mario around 103% off the top of Final Destination, and the uncharged early hands KOs Mario at 90%, so it's one of the strongest up smashes in the game if sweetspotted.

|dsmashname=Arm & Leg Lift

|dsmashdesc=Performs an Arm & Leg Lift to attack with an outstretched arm and outstretched leg. It is a very strong [[semi-spike]]. The uncharged down smash KOs Mario around 86% at the edge of Final Destination, and its low trajectory launch angle results in KOs at lower percentages against characters with poor vertical recoveries like {{SSBU|Ike}} and {{SSBU|Chrom}}.

|nairname=Jackknife

|nairdesc=Assumes the Jackknife pose to attack with both arms and legs. It deals impressive damage when both of its hits connect, it can connect much easier compared to most attacks thanks to its fairly large hitbox, has minimal ending and landing lag and auto-cancels in a short hop. Altogether, these traits make it a very useful combo starter when [[Short hop fast fall L-cancel#Short hop fast fall|SHFF]]'d, and is Wii Fit Trainer’s overall best combo starter.  

|fairname=Single-Leg Extension

|bairname=Cobra

|bairdesc=Assumes the Cobra pose to perform a double-footed back kick. It comes out on frame 5, making it Wii Fit Trainer's fastest aerial, and a fast attack in general. When coupled with its high knockback growth, its clean feet hitbox enables it to KO Mario at 91% while near the edge of Final Destination. It's her only aerial that can't auto-cancel in a short hop.  

|uairname=Half-Moon

|uairdesc=Assumes the Half-Moon pose to attack with outstretched clasped hands. It comes out on frame 6, making it Wii Fit Trainer's second-fastest aerial in terms of the startup, and a fast attack in general. In addition to having wide range compared to the Trainer's other aerials, it has good juggling potential, auto-cancels from a short hop. Decent knockback, KOing Mario at 150% off the top of Final Destination.

|dairname=Chair

|dairdesc=Assumes the Chair pose to perform a [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Double foot stomp|double foot stomp]]. It can meteor smash aerial opponents, but not grounded ones. Despite this, it is still fairly powerful against grounded opponents, as it KOs middleweights at 144% while near the edge. It comes out on frame 15, which makes it Wii Fit Trainer's slowest aerial in terms of the startup, but has low ending lag and auto-cancels in a short hop.

|grabname=Rowing Squat

|pummelname=&nbsp;

|pummeldesc=Squeezes the opponent. It is an average speed pummel.

|fthrowname=Jump Serve

|fthrowdesc=A jump serve, a technique used in volleyball.

|bthrowname=Dropkick

|uthrowname=Jump Set

|uthrowdesc=A jump set, a technique used in volleyball. Has combo potential.  

|dthrowname=&nbsp;

|dthrowdesc=Slams the opponent onto the ground between both legs. It can be used to start combos.  

|nsdesc=Assumes the Sun Worship pose and charges a yellow energy ball in the air. Like [[Charge Shot]], the energy ball grows in size as it charges. A fully charged Sun Salutation is quite strong, KOing Mario near the edge of Final Destination at 110%. Firing a fully charged Sun Salutation also heals Wii Fit Trainer by 2%. Charging a Sun Salutation also causes a weak [[push]] effect during the charge.

|ssdesc=[[wikipedia:Header (association football)|Heads]] a soccer ball. It has impressive mind-game potential overall, due to its manipulable nature and hitboxes. The ball can be hit early if the special button is pressed, which launches the ball at different angles. Wii Fit Trainer can also air dodge upon initiating it, which drops the ball and allows Wii Fit Trainer to subsequently launch it with any other attack. However, air dodging while using Header renders [[helpless]]ness. After canceling Header, Wii Fit Trainer can hit the ball with any move to send it to the opponent. Aside from hitting the ball, the headbutt itself can be used as an attack and is able to meteor smash. In addition to its offensive potential, it has recovery potential: using it after a jump grants a slight boost upward, whereas using it while descending will briefly stall, similarly to [[Cape]]. However, it cannot be used again until Wii Fit Trainer either falls on a platform or stage or gets hit.  

|usdesc={{s|wikipedia|Hula hoop}}s twirl around Wii Fit Trainer’s body in order to ascend. Button mashing or rhythmic tapping will make Wii Fit Trainer ascend higher and faster, which greatly improves its ascent. The hoops hit multiple times but do not have hitboxes on the top, only the sides.

|dsdesc=[[wikipedia:Diaphragmatic breathing|Takes a deep breath]]. When used correctly, it heals 2%, increases [[walk]]ing speed, run speed, initial dash speed, ground traction, fall speed, air speed, and gravity, while also increasing overall damage output by 20% (consequently improving knockback as well) for 12.2 seconds. However, it has a fairly long refresh time of 40 seconds. Subsequent uses before the 40-second refresh are complete yield smaller buffs and a shorter duration (~9 seconds), regardless of whether or not the initial use was successful.  

|fsdmg=2%/2.2%/2.5%/3% (medium silhouettes; based on position)</br>12% (large silhouette)

*Wii Fit Trainer appears performing a Tree Pose while standing on a {{iw|wikipedia|Wii Balance Board}}, then steps off of the balance board, which jumps up and gives a cheer before disappearing.

When a Smash attack is used, there's a chance that the Wii Fit Trainer will say a voice line. In addition, they will always say a voice line at the start of their Final Smash. These voice lines vary depending on the move used and the gender of the Wii Fit Trainer.

==In competitive play==

Wii Fit Trainer was generally considered to be a mid tier character upon ''Ultimate''{{'}}s release, but public opinion of the character has gradually improved as the character has received notable buffs in multiple balance patches, particularly Updates {{SSBU|3.0.0}} and {{SSBU|8.0.0}}. Additionally, the character has performed relatively well at the regional level as players such as {{Sm|varun}}, {{Sm|John Numbers}}, {{Sm|Evy}}, and more have ranked highly on their respective Power Rankings throughout ''Ultimate''{{'}}s lifetime. There have also been several breakout performances on the international stage; multiple Wii Fit Trainer players have placed 33rd at S-tier tournaments, and a number of top players have lost to Wii Fit Trainer players in bracket. Because of this combination of relatively consistent buffs and ever improving tournament results, public opinion of Wii Fit Trainer's viability has steadily risen over time, and many now consider the character to be a fringe high tier. Despite this, some are still dubious of the character's potential, as Wii Fit Trainer still has a few glaring weaknesses that sometimes result in extremely polarizing matchups. Nonetheless, the character is expected to see a higher level of success once regular tournaments return after the current [[COVID-19]] pandemic.

Female Wii Fit Trainer's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing [[Classic Mode]]. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Wii Fit Trainer in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Male Wii Fit Trainer also has a Fighter Spirit of his own, available through the shop. Unlike most fighters, the Spirits for Wii Fit Trainer only use their artwork from ''Ultimate'' due to not having official artwork from the ''Wii Fit'' games.

Additionally, the Wii Fit Trainers makes an appearance in various Support Spirits.

===Character Showcase Video===

*In French, Spanish, and German, the voice clip from the announcer on the victory screen is slightly different from the one used on the character select screen, instead featuring a noticeable translation of "the" ("'''l'''{{'}}Entraîneuse Wii Fit"/"'''l'''{{'}}Entraîneur Wii Fit", "'''la''' Entrenadora de Wii Fit"/"'''el''' Entrenador de Wii Fit", and "'''die''' Wii Fit-Trainerin"/"'''der''' Wii Fit-Trainer"). This trait is shared with {{SSBU|Inkling}}, {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Villager}}, {{SSBU|Hero}}, the {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}, and the {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s.

**Interestingly enough, if a battle is quit or won while Wii Fit Trainer is speaking, such as during one of her taunts or smash attacks, she can still be heard even over the announcer. This trait is shared with {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}.

*Wii Fit Trainer, {{SSBU|Pit}}, {{SSBU|Dark Pit}}, and {{SSBU|Ivysaur}} are considered to be the most average weight fighters.

*Wii Fit Trainer, {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}, and {{SSBU|Mega Man}} (while using his [[Forward smash|Mega Buster]]) are the only characters in ''SSBU'' to have different [[Charge|charging]] sound effects for their smash attacks, with Wii Fit Trainer's smash attacks charging with the blow of a whistle. This is a reference to how strength training repetitions in ''Wii Fit'' were signaled with a whistle blow.

**Despite this, Wii Fit Trainer's [[down smash]] is her only smash attack that takes the form of a strength training exercise from ''Wii Fit'', with the other two being yoga poses.

*Wii Fit Trainer, {{SSBU|Wario}} and {{SSBU|Hero}} are the only characters who can heal themselves without the help of another character and/or when [[Item Switch|items are not made available]]; Wii Fit Trainer does so through [[Sun Salutation]] and [[Deep Breathing]], Wario through [[Chomp]], and Hero through the Heal spell in [[Command Selection]].

**However, hitting the soccer ball does stale the spike of Header, which in turn can unstale other moves without ever having to hit the opponent.

*None of Wii Fit Trainer's attacks have any sort of motion-trail visual effects. This trait is only shared with {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}, and the choice to omit these effects was presumably made in order to emphasize the yoga poses the moves are based on.

*Wii Fit Trainer, like {{SSBU|Ike}}, {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Inkling}}, and {{SSBU|Byleth}}, is one of the few characters to have {{SSBU|alternate costume}}s with different animations: The male and female Wii Fit Trainers have different animations when getting hit by extremely weak attacks, with their animations after getting defeated during [[All-Out Attack]] in particular being notably different as a result.

**The reason behind this would be because while the female Wii Fit Trainer has received new hitstun animations, the male Wii Fit Trainer reuses his hitsun animations from ''Smash 4''.

*In [[World of Light]], Wii Fit Trainer is one of the few fighters who is not affiliated with [[Dharkon]] in any way, as all of her encounters as herself or as a puppet fighter are all in association with [[Galeem]]. Pokémon Trainer, Ivysaur, {{SSBU|Roy}}, {{SSBU|Olimar}}, {{SSBU|Toon Link}}, and {{SSBU|Little Mac}} all share this distinction as well.
