The Spirit Board (スピリッツボード, Spirit Board) is a sub-menu within the Spirits single-player mode of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It contains a random, periodically refreshed collection of Spirit Battles, which pit the player against Spirit-possessed fighters under special conditions. Spirits ranked Novice, Advance, and Ace will remain on the spirit board for five minutes, but Legend spirits will stay for fifteen minutes. The board starts off with six available choices but more slots are unlocked as the mode is played up to a maximum of ten. Many of these Spirits can also be obtained through World of Light.
After completing the Spirit Battle, a scene ensues where the player must shoot the possessed fighter with a special gun to obtain the Spirit. The shot must be correctly timed to avoid hitting a rotating shield protecting the Puppet Fighter; the stronger the Spirit, the faster the shield will rotate and the smaller the gap. If the player hits the shield, they can spend Spirit Points (proportional to the Spirit's rank) to take a second shot; if they fail this shot as well or decline to pay, they will be returned to the Spirit Board without obtaining the Spirit. However, hitting the shield will destroy part of it, and this damage will be retained when the player finds the Spirit again. There are items that can make the timing of the shot easier by greatening the gap in the shield or slowing its rotation, as well as items that can be used to gain an advantage in the Spirit Battle such as by making the enemy slowly take damage or weaken their minions. Other items will alter the Spirits present on the board such as by rotating spirits or by making primary or support spirits appear exclusively.
Aside from Fighter Spirits, Master Spirits, and Spirits of Bosses, all Spirits can be obtained from the Spirit Board, including those found in World of Light; however, Spirits that can be found via summoning will not appear unless they have been previously summoned. Spirits that are obtained from a challenge will not appear on the Spirit Board until their challenges are completed. Additionally, spirits that must be summoned via evolution of another spirit do not have a spirit battle. Numerous Spirits can only be obtained exclusively from the Spirit Board. Spirits seem to be more common if the player doesn't have them.[citation needed]
As of Ver. 2.0.0, up to four players can participate in Spirit Battles offline. The number of players can be changed after selecting a challenge from the Spirit Board. However, if any of the players are KO'd, it counts as a defeat. Opponents will also have limited super armor.
Also, as of Ver. 3.0.0., a Spirit Board with DLC spirits was added. Unlike the original one, winning a Spirit Battle always awards the player with a Spirit without requiring the player to free it first, and all Spirits corresponding to the selected DLC will be present. These Spirits won't temporarily be removed from the board after a certain time passes or if the player wins or loses, and obtaining all Spirits from the DLC Spirit Board will grant bonus Gold. Spirits in this section can be obtained via regular means (e.g. as Classic Mode prizes or in the Shop) even if the corresponding DLC has not been purchased.
List of Spirit Board events
Occasionally (each week or so), special events involving Spirits fitting a specific theme will occur. When this happens, certain spirits who fit the theme will spawn at scripted time periods and defeating spirits that match the theme will grant bonus rewards.

Trivia
- The possessed fighters encountered on the Spirit Board have their normal appearances, as opposed to the Puppet Fighters in World of Light that have red or purple eyes (depending on whether they are controlled by Galeem or Dharkon, respectively).
