Most spirits can be obtained via Spirit Battles, which appear similar to the thematic missions seen in [[Event Matches]] and {{forwiiu}}{{'}}s [[Special Orders]]. Battles can be selected from the Spirit Board, containing up to ten spirits to challenge. The Spirit Board will cycle out new spirits after a short period of time (5 minutes for most spirits and 15 minutes for Legend-class spirits; if a Legend-class spirit is part of a weekend event, it can stay on the Spirit Board for up to an hour). Each Spirit Battle contains unique challenges and rules. The spirits that are battled against will be paired with puppet fighters of a similar personality and/or appearance, with the battle's rules, conditions, stage and music track often being reflective of the spirit itself. During all battles against spirits, the Final Smash Meter will be active, and certain spirits can make the gauge fill up faster or slow the rate the enemy's gauge fills at. If there are more than one opponent, then the battle will either be a [[team battle]] with [[team attack]] turned off, or a horde battle similar to the ones seen in {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}. Occasionally, a CPU ally will engage the battle with the player as well. Like in Classic Mode, the player is always given only one stock, unlike with aforementioned game modes in previous games. A spirit can be acquired by defeating its respective puppet fighter, then attacking the fighter in a shooting-style minigame, except when fighting in World of Light or the DLC Spirit Board, which automatically reward the player with the spirit upon victory. There is a shield that prevents the spirit from being acquired; however, the damage to the shield carries over to the next time that spirit is encountered and Spirit Points can be spent for one additional attempt per battle. There are also usable items that can slow the speed the shield rotates at or remove part of the shield. | Most spirits can be obtained via Spirit Battles, which appear similar to the thematic missions seen in [[Event Matches]] and {{forwiiu}}{{'}}s [[Special Orders]].

Before each Spirit Battle, the two sides' strengths will be compared. The higher the player's advantage over the spirit, the easier the battle will be, but fewer rewards will be earned if the player's strength is significantly greater than the spirit's. The player's strength is dictated by the spirit team the player has the option to use. This team can include one primary spirit and 0 to 3 support spirits depending on the number of slots the primary spirit possesses and the number of slots each support spirit fills. The player can manually choose the spirits for a team, or they can press they [[Y button]] for the game to automatically create what it calculates to be the most optimal spirit team for the specific battle. Factors for spirit selection include the rules and strength of the spirit battle, the fighter the player uses, the amount of slots the primary spirit possesses, and the | Before each Spirit Battle, the two sides' strengths will be compared.

One can also battle other players locally in versus matches with spirits equipped, working in a similar manner to [[character customization]] from ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. As of version 2.0.0, up to four players can engage in a Spirit Board battle at once, and both the difficulty of the fight and the rewards for completion will be scaled accordingly; however, the battle will end in failure if any human player is KO'd. | One can also battle other players locally in versus matches with spirits equipped, working in a similar manner to [[character customization]] from ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.
