Wii Fit Trainer (Wii Fit トレーナー, Wii Fit Trainer) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, officially confirmed on June 12th, 2018.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4
Aesthetics
- As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Wii Fit Trainer's model features a more subdued color scheme. Her clothing and hair now features simple detailing.
- Wii Fit Trainer's face is clearer and has more detailed eyes, approximating her design to Wii Fit U's trainer. According to Sakurai, this was a requested change from the Wii Fit development team.
- Wii Fit Trainer's body faces the screen more compared to the previous entry; however, her stance is not mirrored.
- Much like other fighters, Wii Fit Trainer is more expressive. In particular, she smiles while taunting and using Header, and appears angry while using smash attacks.
Attributes
- Like all characters, Wii Fit Trainer's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.
- Wii Fit Trainer's initial dash and speed are improved.
Ground attacks
- The first hit of neutral attack, when hitting opponents behind the Wii Fit Trainer, now hits opponents backwards, making successful cross-ups more rewarding.
- Up tilt now reaches far further upwards, as Wii Fit Trainer's pose is slightly extended and lifted off the ground, and now combos into itself at low percents.
- Forward tilt is slightly weaker.
Grabs/throws/other moves
- Back throw deals more knockback.
- Up throw deals far less knockback.
Special moves
- Sun Salutation is now orange in color instead of bright yellow, and no longer has a "lens glare" effect when charging.
- Sun Salutation's projectile moves faster and stays onscreen longer.
- Sun Salutation's projectile does more knockback.
- Deep Breathing's initial speed appears to be faster.
- Deep Breathing's buff duration now lasts around 10 seconds, longer than previously.
- Super Hoop travels higher and requires less mashing for increased height.
- Super Hoop is now a multi-hit attack.
- Header has almost all of its lag decreased.
- Wii Fit's silhouettes now have a limited travel distance.
- Wii Fit now launches a large, slow-moving image at the end of the move. This image has KO potential, increasing the Final Smash's overall reliability.
Role in World of Light
Wii Fit Trainer was among the fighters that were summoned to fight against the army of Master Hands.
Wii Fit Trainer was present when Galeem unleashed its beams of light. She was seen alongside a panicking Duck Hunt and Villager. She seems to accept her fate, and performs the Tree yoga pose as she is hit by a beam of light. She was transformed into a spirit along with the rest of the fighters, excluding Kirby.

Trivia
- Wii Fit Trainer and Ryu are the only two characters whose full renders are not on the official website. In this case, the picture stops just below the thighs.
- In the World of Light trailer, Wii Fit Trainer performs the Tree yoga pose just before she is hit by a beam of light. This may reference the fact that her up smash, which uses the same pose, grants her invincibility for a brief moment.
