The Western-language versions tend to use characters' English voices, while the Asian versions typically use their Japanese voices. Exceptions in the Asian versions include {{SSBU|Snake}}, {{SSBU|Ryu}} and {{SSBU|Ken}} being voiced in English in the Chinese and Korean versions, and {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}} being voiced in English in the Korean version. [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]] joins {{SSBU|Sonic}}, [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]], {{SSBU|Lucario}}, {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, and {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}} in being able to speak French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Meanwhile, [[Takamaru]], the [[Prince of Sablé]], {{SSBU|Cloud}}, [[Yuri Kozukata]], [[Akira Yuki]], {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}, and {{SSBU|Kazuya}} only speak Japanese in every version. Newcomer {{SSBU|Hero}} is similar to {{SSBU|Mewtwo}} in that they speak Japanese in the Japanese version, but don't speak in other versions. The English/Japanese announcer, [[Xander Mobus]], provides unique voice clips for the Korean version, while a mixture of his voice clips from both the English and Japanese versions are reused for both Chinese languages. New announcers also provide voice clips for the Dutch and Russian languages. | The Western-language versions tend to use characters' English voices, while the Asian versions typically use their Japanese voices.

English, French and Spanish each have two different variants: an NTSC variant (American English, Canadian French, and Latin American Spanish) and a PAL variant (Commonwealth English, European French, and Castilian Spanish). The difference is affected by the system's region and language. The NTSC variants are used if the system's region is set to "the Americas", "Japan", or "Hong Kong/Taiwan/South Korea", or if the system's language is set to Japanese, Korean, or Chinese; the PAL variants are used if the system's region is set to "Europe" or "Australia/New Zealand", or if the system's language is set | English, French and Spanish each have two different variants: an NTSC variant (American English, Canadian French, and Latin American Spanish) and a PAL variant (Commonwealth English, European French, and Castilian Spanish).

In these cases, the system's language takes priority over its region. This effectively gives ''Ultimate'' a total of 14 language choices compared to the 11 selectable in the menu. Players can change the region in the Switch system settings to access these regional variants. In English, unlike in the previous game, only a few regional differences are still present, such as the name "Duck Hunt Duo" for {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}} in PAL languages, the voices of {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}} depending on the region, [[tips]] describing characters' first appearances being accurate to the release date in the region, the [[Super Scope]] item being called the ”Nintendo Scope", some slightly different music track names, [[Find Mii]] being called "StreetPass Quest", some spirit names being different, and games mentioned in the names of certain [[spirit]]s and music tracks being named differently based on the region (such as "Wandering Samurai (Rhythm Heaven Fever)" in the NTSC version differing from "Wandering Samurai (Beat the Beat)" in the PAL version). Other former differences, such as [[Boxing Ring]] character titles, spellings (such as color/colour and armor/armour), move names (such as [[Hammer Flip]] and [[Duck Jump]]), and text differing drastically have been standardized between English regional versions. The two Spanish and French versions, however, continue to exhibit significant text and character name differences, in addition to the Spanish voices for Wii Fit Trainer still differing between regions similarly to the English ones. | ||
Unlike previous games, changing language settings in ''Ultimate'' reboots the game. As such, changing the language can be used as an alternate method (besides closing and reopening the game) to [[Unlockable character|unlock characters]] in [[Versus Mode|Smash]] battles more quickly by bypassing the 10-minute cooldown timer between challengers, particularly when using controllers that lack a [[Home button|HOME button]]. | Unlike previous games, changing language settings in ''Ultimate'' reboots the game.
