An icon used in notice templates.

Inkling male and female alternate costumes

Each character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has a set of alternate costumes. Due to the presence of 8-Player Smash, all characters have eight costumes.

Mario wearing his Wedding and Builder alternate costumes

Some characters possess certain alternate costumes with more drastic design differences, and are not merely recolors of their standard outfits. Mario, Wario, Link, Zero Suit Samus, Ike, Little Mac, Shulk, Cloud, Bayonetta, and Ridley have different outfits available; Pokémon Trainer, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Robin, Corrin, and Inkling all have male and female variants; and Olimar and Bowser Jr. have model swaps that change them into new characters, complete with corresponding voice and Announcer clips, though like all other alternate costumes, they bear no gameplay differences.
