Little Mac (リトル・マック, Little Mac) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Little Mac's model features a more subdued color scheme. His clothing now features simple detailing and his muscles are slightly more pronounced. His model and textures otherwise appear unchanged.
• Little Mac no longer has sixteen alternate costumes, only eight. Of the cut costumes, Wire-Frame Mac has notably been reduced to just two.
• The KO Punch meter physically drains to the lowest level after the attack has been used, rather than cutting to the lowest level.

Special Moves

• Straight Lunge can now be canceled by shielding.
• Like with most non-storeable charge moves, Straight Lunge can be unleashed at the opposite direction upon releasing the move.
• KO Uppercut has a new animation. Little Mac now performs a jumping uppercut, making it appear more identical to the Star Punch from Punch-Out!! on the NES.
• Once KO Uppercut is used or lost, the Power Meter now shows the meter dropping from full to zero, instead of emptying immediately.
• KO Uppercut's new animation gives the move more vertical range, and also grants recovery distance if used in midair.
• KO Uppercut now disappears if it is not used within 15 seconds.
• Grounded Jolt Haymaker travels a shorter distance on the ground, but Little Mac spends less time in the air. He also lands with significantly more traction.
• Aerial Jolt Haymaker keeps more forward momentum, thus granting more distance. It also no longer renders Little Mac helpless.
• His Final Smash Giga Mac is no longer a transformation, and its now similar to Donkey Kong's new Final Smash.

Trivia

• Little Mac's video on the official website has him follow Wario's bike while wearing his pink sweater. This is a reference to the Punch-Out!! series, where Little Mac runs alongside Doc Louis on his bike.
