Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

• Players can customize the Mii Fighter's voice clips. Up to 12 voices are selectable.
• Mii Gunners have had their body proportions adjusted.
• While still based off the "Guest F" Mii, the default Mii Gunner has an altered appearance. She now has a smile on their face instead of a neutral expression, and her hair appears to be longer and more detailed.
• The default outfits for the Mii Gunners have significantly more detail, now being a bodysuit with a character-colored jacket, boots, and gloves with white accents. They no longer wear an ammo backpack, and their arm cannon has a different appearance.
• The Mii Gunner has a new idle animation involving them standing with their arms spread.

Attributes

• Like all characters, the Mii Gunner's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete (down from 6).
• Mii Gunner dashes faster.
• Mii Gunner's size can no longer be customised.
  • This includes a set weight of 104, on par with Link, Captain Falcon and Yoshi, making the Mii Gunner the heaviest Mii Fighter.

Ground attacks

• Neutral attack:
  • Neutral attack's hits are now a jab with the left hand, followed by a kick, then an explosion from their arm cannon for the final hit.
  • Neutral attack's explosive hits now have less of a pause, making it connect more fluidly.
• Forward tilt:
  • Forward tilt has reduced startup and ending lag.
• Down tilt:
  • Down tilt has reduced startup and greatly reduced ending lag.
• Forward smash:
  • Forward smash has had slightly reduced startup and ending lag.
• Up smash:
  • Up smash has had its ending lag greatly reduced.
• Down smash:
  • Down smash has had its range reduced on the first hit.
  • The first hit of its down smash no longer drags opponents in behind Mii Gunner.
    • This hinders the move's usability in situations it previously excelled in, such as by the ledge.
    • To compensate, the first hit's damage has been increased to nearly match of the second hit's, making the damage output overall more consistent.
• Dash attack
  • Dash attack has more knockback, increasing its kill power.

Aerial attacks

• Neutral aerial:
  • Neutral aerial has increased range and reduced landing lag. It can now lead into followups upon landing.
• Forward aerial:
  • Forward aerial has decreased range and slightly more landing lag.
• Back aerial:
  • Back aerial has less landing lag.
• Up aerial:
  • Up aerial has a new animation. Mii Gunner now "stands" upright while performing the move, rather than laying on her back.
    • The move itself has reduced startup and landing lag.
    • The move's duration has been shortened, making it less effective at trapping opponents air dodges.
• Down aerial:
  • Down aerial has decreased startup and landing lag.

Throws/other attacks

• The Mii Gunner's pummel is now a knee strike, rather than an arm cannon bash.
• All of Mii Gunner's throws have been buffed, each dealing much more damage, whereas previously each only did 5%.
• Up throw now fires two lasers instead of one.

Special Moves

• Charge Blast:
  • Like Samus's Charge Shot, Charge Blast can be now charged while in mid-air.
• Laser Blaze:
  • Laser Blaze now makes opponents flinch, similar to Falco's lasers.
• Grenade Launch:
  • Can no longer be charged, and now launches for a fixed distance after a brief pause, vastly reducing both its range and its flexibility for limiting approaches.
• Flame Pillar:
  • Flame Pillar has reduced startup and ending lag. The projectile itself now hits multiple times, similar to Robin's Arcfire, making it better for pressuring shields and allowing for better follow-ups on-stage.
• Gunner Missile
  • The regular missiles in Gunner Missile travel faster.
    • The increased speed lowers the missile's ability to home opponents.
• Stealth Burst:
  • Stealth Burst no longer makes the Mii Gunner helpless.
• Lunar Launch:
  • Lunar Launch travels a much greater distance, making it better for recovering with.
  • Mii Gunner's aerial drift after using Lunar Launch has been reduced, making it worse for drifting back on stage after the move is over.
• Cannon Uppercut:
  • Cannon Uppercut has been reworked into Cannon Jump Kick, which still features a launch with Mii Gunner's arm cannon but uses a kick instead of a punch to deal damage while moving up.
• Arm Rocket:
  • Arm Rocket can now be tilted left or right to adjust the Mii's flight angle.
• Echo Reflector:
  • Echo Reflector has been redesigned; it is now two yellow hexagons that rotate around Mii Gunner.
• Bomb Drop:
  • Bomb Drop can now be triggered manually.
    • The bombs have a longer fuse.
• Full Blast
  • The laser now has a more greenish hue.
  • The laser beam is now noticeably larger in width, making it easier to hit opponents.

Role in World of Light

Although the Mii Gunner does not appear in the World of Light opening cutscene, they were vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (except for Kirby) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light.

In the mode itself, Mii Gunner can be fought on Tortimer Island.

Defeating Mii Gunner automatically adds the default Mii Gunner under the name Mii with a default 1111 moveset to the list of Mii Fighters for all modes where Mii Fighters are usable.
