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 (down from 5).
- Wii Fit Trainer dashes much faster (1.696 → 1.866). Her initial dash speed is also improved.
- Wii Fit Trainer walks faster (1.166 → 1.224).
- Wii Fit Trainer's air speed is slightly faster (0.97 → 1.019).
Ground attacks
- Neutral attack:
- The first hit of neutral attack, when hitting opponents behind the Wii Fit Trainer, now hits opponents backwards, making successful cross-ups more rewarding.
- Jab 3 has less startup.
- Forward tilt:
- Forward tilt has less endlag.
- Forward tilt is slightly weaker.
- Up tilt:
- 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.
- Up tilt has less startup and endlag.
- Up smash:
- Up smash has a bigger hitbox on the sourspot.
Aerial attacks
- All aerials have less landing lag.
- All aerials also have less startup, most notably down aerial.
Throws/other attacks
- Dash grab has slightly less startup.
- Pummel is faster.
- Back throw:
- Back throw deals more knockback.
- Up throw:
- Up throw deals far less knockback.
- Down throw:

Special Moves
- Sun Salutation:
- Sun Salutation is now orange in color instead of bright yellow, and no longer has a "lens glare" effect when charging.
- Sun Salutation has less startup lag.
- Sun Salutation's projectile moves faster and stays onscreen longer.
- Sun Salutation's projectile does more knockback.
- Header:
- Header's soccer ball is around 50% bigger.
- Header has almost all of its lag decreased.
- Header's soccer ball has adjusted physics. It now bounces faster and lower, and now always keeps its hitbox after being hit. The ball's lower launch angle now allows a fully delayed Header to hit grounded opponents at a close range.
- Super Hoop:

- Deep Breathing:
- Deep Breathing's initial speed is faster.

- Successfully using Deep Breathing now increases Wii Fit Trainer's fall speed and run speed.
- Wii Fit:
- Wii Fit's silhouettes now have a limited travel distance.

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 his beams of light. She was seen alongside a panicking Duck Hunt and Villager. She seemed to accept her fate, and performed the Tree yoga pose as she was hit by a beam of light. She was then placed under Galeem's imprisonment along with the rest of the fighters, excluding Kirby.
In the mode itself, she can be found by choosing to save Sheik instead of Villager or Marth.

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 intangibility for a brief moment.
