-'''World of Light''' ({{ja|灯火の星|Tomoshibi no Hoshi}}, ''The Star of Light'') is a single-player mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Similar to the adventure modes in [[Adventure Mode|''Melee'']] and [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|''Brawl'']], it revolves around the fighters teaming up with [[Spirits (characters)|Spirits]] to defeat an "ultimate enemy" named [[Galeem]]. The mode will feature characters from various series, as well as bosses from previous Smash games, such as [[Galleom]] from The Subspace Emissary.
+'''World of Light''' ({{ja|灯火の星|Tomoshibi no Hoshi}}, ''The Star of Light'') is a single-player mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', and the successor to the Adventure Modes in [[Adventure Mode|''Melee'']] and [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|''Brawl'']]. It revolves around the fighters teaming up with [[Spirits (characters)|Spirits]] to defeat an "ultimate enemy" named [[Galeem]]. In addition to the fighters and spirits from various series, [[boss]]es are also confirmed to appear, including [[Galleom]], [[Master Hand]], and [[Rathalos]].
+==Elements==
+* Similar to The Subspace Emissary, the mode features a world map that may be navigated. However, unlike The Subspace Emissary, the player character (rather than the player) navigates between map locations themselves, and they appear able to interact with characters and various obstacles on the map.
+** Both spirits and fighters appear on the map, with distinct icons for each. At least one treasure chest also seems to appear.
+** The player may zoom out to view the full map by pressing L. Galeem appears at the top center of the full map, and areas not yet visited are obscured with dark smoke.
+** At least one sub-map may exist (Galleom's location), as one screen shows the Back and Menu options but no Full Map option. (In every other scene, all three options slide off and on the screen together.)
+** In one brief gameplay scene, the [[Great Fox]] is seen navigating the map instead of any player character. No further details regarding this are known.
+* Unlike the Adventure Modes in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', no side-scrolling stages appear to be present.
+===Unconfirmed elements===
+* The status of cutscenes in this mode (compared to ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''{{'}}s Adventure Modes) is unknown. While the trailer for this mode features both ''Brawl''-style cutscenes (more elaborate pre-rendered cinematics) and ''Melee''-style cutscenes (in-engine short snippets), it is unknown whether any of these are actually included in the game, are for the trailer alone, or if any other cutscenes exist at all.
+** Interestingly, in the [[Nintendo Direct]] that announced this mode, [[Sakurai]]'s original Japanese speech and the various language translations occasionally say slightly different things:
+*** In the North American version of the Direct, Sakurai mentions that the mode "is more about fun than story". Additionally, when the trailer is introduced, Sakurai specifically states to "leave the rest to your imagination", strongly implying that no additional cutscenes or story beyond the trailer will exist.
+*** In the European version of the Direct, Sakurai mentions that the mode "is nothing like" The Subspace Emissary, though it is ambiguous whether this refers to cutscenes or (possibly) the lack of side-scrolling stages. There is no caveat regarding "imagination".
+*** In Sakurai's original Japanese speech, he mentions that "there is no mode that tells a story". There is no caveat regarding "imagination", implying that no story beyond the trailer will exist but leaving the status of cutscenes ambiguous.

 ==Trivia==
-* The inverse of World of Light's Japanese name can be read as {{ja|星の火灯|Hoshi no Kabi}}, which is pronounced similarly to {{ja|星のカービィ|Hoshi no Kābi}} (''Kirby of the Stars''), the Japanese name of the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]].
+* If World of Light's Japanese name has its characters reversed, it can be read as {{ja|星の火灯|Hoshi no Kabi}}, which is pronounced very similarly to {{ja|星のカービィ|Hoshi no Kābi}} (''Kirby of the Stars''), the Japanese name of the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]].
-** Coincidentally, Kirby is the only one who survived Galeem's fatal attack (via Warp Star teleport), making him the starting playable character in this mode.
+** In the trailer, Kirby is the only fighter to survive Galeem's fatal attack (via Warp Star teleport), making him the starting playable character in this mode.
-* Unlike the cutscenes in The Subspace Emissary where characters interacted with each other without dialogue, many characters are shown to speak directly to each other in this mode's opening scene. It is unknown if this will be repeated in subsequent scenes, if it is exclusive to the intro, or if any other cutscenes exist at all.
