DLC Spirits (mode)
DLC Spirits is a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate mode added in update 3.0.0 where players can collect Spirits based on downloadable content. The background and the music of the menu is themed after the respective series. Unlike the Spirit Board, if the player defeats the spirit, then they get it right away instead of trying to shoot it. Spirit battles in this mode can be played as many times as the player wants, as they have unlimited tries and will not vanish once cleared. This mode also has multiple pages if there are more than eight spirits from a given board, which is not found on the Spirit Board. In 3.0.0, the DLC Spirits button went straight to Persona 5's Spirit Board, but starting with update 4.0.0, the selection was changed to a menu containing the different Spirit Boards for each Challenger Pack DLC, with unreleased options labeled as "COMING SOON". The only way to access spirits on the DLC boards without the DLC being purchased is by spending gold on them in the Vault Shop. Furthermore, it is impossible to play the spirit battles elsewhere.
Completing all the spirit battles in a series will reward the player with 10,000 Gold.
