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.

Spiral Mountain[edit]
Randomly-selected flocks of 1-5 Jinjos fly around the mountain in circular patterns. Bottles pops out of various molehills around the mountain or on its summit, scratching himself often as he did in Banjo-Kazooie, as well as waving at the fighters. Mumbo Jumbo magically appears in various locations (including the mountain's summit, the entrance to Gruntilda's Lair, or the cliffs in the background), and juggles his eyeballs much like he did in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. When the stage stops rotating and Gruntilda's Lair is visible, Gruntilda rides her broomstick around the mountain while cackling. Tooty constantly runs along the path going through the Mountain's various landmarks (occasionally stopping to wave at the fighters above). Numerous Buzzbombs fly around as well. Unlike other characters, Tooty and Buzzbombs can be seen even while the camera is rotating. With the exception of Mumbo Jumbo, all Spiral Mountain background characters received new original artwork for their Ultimate Spirits.

King of Fighters Stadium[edit]
A number of characters from various SNK franchises appear in the background watching the fight, akin to how selected fighters would "wait for their turn" in The King of Fighters '94-'98. It is random which characters will appear, but selecting specific music to play will sometimes guarantee the appearance of a character. For example, selecting the "Pasta - FATAL FURY 2" song will guarantee that Andy Bogard appears on the stage. A total of 20 different characters may appear in the stage, from several series such as Fatal Fury, The King of Fighters, Art of Fighting, Psycho Soldier and Ikari Warriors.

Numerous fans can be seen on the stands of Spring Stadium, similarly to how they appear in ARMS.

Minecraft World[edit]
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. They can be seen occasionally turning to fighters and watch the battle when close. At nighttime, Villagers retire to their homes and two different types of monsters will appear. These include a Zombie, an Enderman, a Skeleton, and a Spider; they do not affect gameplay. When morning starts, the monsters will either catch fire and burn up or simply retreat depending on the monster, repeating the cycle.

Cloud Sea of Alrest[edit]
One pair of characters will randomly be selected to appear during the match, appearing as a Driver and Blade pair. These pairs include Nia and Dromarch, Tora and Poppi α, Mòrag and Brighid, and Zeke and Pandoria. 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.
