The seven DLC fighters in SSB4 on Suzaku Castle.
For downloadable content available in this game's successor, see Downloadable content (SSBU). For general info, see Downloadable content.

DLC was first confirmed for Super Smash Bros. 4 in the "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza" video presentation on October 23rd, 2014. Downloadable content for the game includes playable fighters, stages, and even additional features. Paid content in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is found for purchase in the Nintendo eShop, and in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is found within a game-based DLC shop.

The DLC shop as it appeared in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS after Mewtwo's release.

Updates

Main article: List of updates (SSB4-Wii U)

Updates to the game are downloadable at no extra cost. The game must be updated to the latest version to purchase DLC, which is done automatically after starting the game from the system's main menu. Most updates also adjust game balance and mechanics, while fixing glitches and other errors as well. Change-logs for all updates are available at the links above. Nintendo did not released any detailed information as official announcements.

As with any other game, DLC data gets added via free updates. Completing a transaction to receive DLC is merely a "ticket" to grant access to said content. What this means is that DLC not purchased in an updated version is still technically installed but locked, and thus is accessible indirectly. Content that is locked can be seen and played against with opponents connecting via a system that has DLC paid for (in "With Anyone," "With Friends," and local Nintendo 3DS Versus modes). Without another person with DLC, locked content can still be seen via using amiibo as Figure Players, and saving uploaded or shared replays.

Fighters

Pokémon (universe) Mewtwo (SSB4) Mewtwo (April 15th, 2015)
Melee veteran Mewtwo was announced as the very first DLC character in the Super Smash Bros. series during the 50-Fact Extravaganza on October 23rd, 2014. Mewtwo's release date was revealed on April 1st, 2015 during a Nintendo Direct. On April 15th, 2015, Mewtwo became available as a free download to players who registered both versions of SSB4 on Club Nintendo before March 31st, 2015. As of April 28th, 2015, Mewtwo is available for anyone to purchase.
EarthBound (universe) Lucas (SSB4) Lucas (June 14th, 2015)
Brawl veteran Lucas was first confirmed to reappear in Super Smash Bros. 4 as a downloadable character alongside the reveal of Mewtwo's release date, during a Nintendo Direct held on April 1st, 2015. He was released on June 14th, 2015. The Smash Ballot, which gave people an opportunity to vote for a new character, was also announced.
Fire Emblem (universe) Roy (SSB4) Roy (June 14th, 2015)
Melee veteran Roy was leaked as DLC in data-mining of the 1.0.6 and 1.0.8 updates. He was officially revealed by Masahiro Sakurai during a Nintendo Direct on June 14th, 2015, and released shortly after on the same day.
Street Fighter (universe) Ryu (SSB4) Ryu (June 14th, 2015)
Newcomer Ryu from Capcom's Street Fighter series was leaked alongside Roy. Similarly, he was officially revealed by Masahiro Sakurai during a Nintendo Direct on June 14th, 2015 and released shortly after on the same day. Ryu comes as a set with the stage Suzaku Castle.
Final Fantasy (universe) Cloud (SSB4) Cloud (December 15th, 2015)
Newcomer Cloud Strife from Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII was announced during a Nintendo Direct on November 12th, 2015 and released on December 15th, 2015. Cloud comes as a set with the stage Midgar.
Fire Emblem (universe) Corrin (SSB4) Corrin (February 3rd, 2016)
Newcomer Corrin from Fire Emblem Fates was announced during a Nintendo Direct on December 15th, 2015 and released on February 3rd, 2016. Corrin does not have an exclusive stage, but comes as a set with a music track in both versions; Corrin also comes with exclusive trophies in the 3DS version and two additional music tracks in the Wii U version.
Bayonetta (universe) Bayonetta (SSB4) Bayonetta (February 3rd, 2016)
Newcomer Bayonetta from SEGA and PlatinumGames' Bayonetta series was announced during a Nintendo Direct on December 15th, 2015 as the Smash Ballot winner, and released on February 3rd, 2016. Bayonetta comes as a set with the stage Umbra Clock Tower.

Similar to clone characters, DLC characters are recognized by being placed in a particular area on the character selection screen, regardless of which franchise from which they hail. When more than four DLC characters are on the 3DS version, and all other characters are unlocked, the DLC characters are labeled "Extra Fighters" on a separate page.

DLC characters also lack custom moves, and all have a generic, previously unused Palutena's Guidance scene. While there are no official reasons for this, the former is presumably due to time and budget constraints, and the latter is presumably due to repeatedly bringing back voice actors each time a character is released.

Stages

Miiverse (universe) Miiverse Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (June 14th, 2015)
A stage based on the Miiverse application found on Wii U and 3DS consoles, which was confirmed during the 50-Fact Extravaganza that it would be added to the Wii U version of SSB4 in an update after release. It was made available for free on June 14th, 2015.

Modes

  • amiibo support Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (February 9th, 2015)
The Wii U version of SSB4 supported amiibo at launch, but the 3DS version had the feature added via patch on February 9th.
The 50-Fact Extravaganza confirmed that the Wii U version of SSB4 would contain a special mode that allows players to compete in and host tourneys online, in a similar vein to Mario Kart 8 tournaments, though it would not be ready at release. Another part of this mode is an elimination style tournament mode that bears a close resemblance to that of past Smash games. This type of tourney only begins at set (albeit frequent) times. The mode was later discontinued due to the shutdown of Miiverse.
