As was the case in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', further "characters" exist as alternate costumes for other preexisting characters. In this game, there are 19: [[Alph]] is accessible as a playable character via {{SSBU|Olimar}}'s [[alternate costume|palette swaps]]; the seven [[Koopalings]] are available as playable characters via {{SSBU|Bowser Jr.}}'s palette swaps; {{SSBU|Pikachu}}, {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Villager}}, {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Robin}}, {{SSBU|Corrin}}, {{SSBU|Inkling}}, and {{SSBU|Byleth}} each have opposite gendered variants as palette swaps; and the [[Hero]] has three other protagonists from across the ''Dragon Quest'' series as palette swaps. However, these characters are not treated as separate characters in-game. | As was the case in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', further "characters" exist as alternate costumes for other preexisting characters.
