All 63 characters (65 if counting the [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s Pokémon as three fighters<!--Mii FIGHTERS ARE ALWAYS COUNTED SEPARATELY. DISCUSS BEFORE CHANGING!-->) from all previous ''Smash Bros.'' games return as playable fighters. In addition to the returning cast, the game features 23 newcomers (24 if counting [[Pyra]] and [[Mythra]] as two fighters). 11 of these characters are available in the base game, with the remaining 12 (13) characters available as {{SSBU|downloadable content}}.

Each character is [[Fighter number|numbered]] based on the order in which they first joined the series, with the exception of [[Echo Fighters]] (who share a number with the character they are based on) and Pokémon Trainer (whose Pokémon are numbered instead).
