Background characters are cameo characters that appear in a stage that corresponds to their home universe (e.g. King Dedede appears in the Super Smash Bros. stage Dream Land). Note that background characters should not be confused with stage hazards, since background characters do not directly affect gameplay.

When the stage stops rotating and Gruntilda's Lair is visible, Gruntilda rides her broomstick around the mountain while cackling.

Two of a randomly selected farm animal will appear as soon as the stage starts. These include cows, sheep, and chickens. Some biomes may feature Villagers that perform farmwork during the day.

The selected pair can be in one of three locations, being either to the left, the front or on top of Rex's house, either standing together in one spot or apart in multiple spots. They will perform various actions taken from their idle animations in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Additionally, several Titans will appear in the background, which includes Goldmouth (the Argentum Titan) with the Maelstrom following behind, Gormott, Uraya, Mor Ardain, Genbu, and Indol. All six Titans will appear in a random preselected order; after all have appeared the cycle repeats for the rest of the match.

Mishima Dojo[edit]

Main article: Mishima Dojo

Heihachi Mishima, in his older appearance, makes a cameo in the background of the Mishima Dojo. He initially sits down with his back turned to the fight, and will stand up once a fighter is KO'd, and later react to following KOs.

Heihachi in Ultimate.

Trivia[edit]

Northern Cave and Hollow Bastion are the only non-Smash original new stages in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that do not feature at least one background character.
