Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4
Previously a near bottom tier character, Wii Fit Trainer has been heavily buffed in nearly every aspect, with better grounded and air speed, better hitboxes and more practical special moves.
Aesthetics
- As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Wii Fit Trainer's model features a more subdued color scheme. Both genders’ clothing and hair now features simple detailing.
- Wii Fit Trainer's face is clearer and has more detailed eyes, similarly 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, the stance is not mirrored.
- Much like other fighters, Wii Fit Trainer is more expressive. In particular, Wii Fit Trainer 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). The 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.
- All aerials have improved hitboxes, though some are still hard to land and use for approaches.
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:
- Down throw has less endlag, making it a better combo starter.
Special Moves
- Sun Salutation:
- Sun Salutation is now orange in color instead of bright yellow, and no longer has a "lens flare" 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 significantly decreased lag.
- 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.
- Header's ball keeps its hitbox even after hitting a shield, allowing for some new niche setups.[1]
- Super Hoop:
- Super Hoop travels higher and requires less mashing for increased height.
- Super Hoop's overall horizontal distance has been reduced significantly. It is not possible to travel as far as in "Smash 4", even after reaching the maximum amount of button-mashing possible.
- Super Hoop is now a multi-hit attack.
- Deep Breathing:
- Deep Breathing's initial speed is faster.
- There is now a wider window for Deep Breathing to successfully activate.
- There is a significantly lower duration penalty for failing a Deep Breathing.
- Deep Breathing's buff duration now lasts around 10 seconds, longer than previously.

- Wii Fit:
- Wii Fit's silhouettes now have a limited travel distance.
- Wii Fit now launches a large, slow-moving Dancer pose image at the end of the move. This image has KO potential, increasing the Final Smash's overall reliability.

Role in World of Light
The female Wii Fit Trainer was among the fighters that were summoned to fight against the army of Master Hands. She was also 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 in a city area. In the battle, you fight her on an Omega version of Wii Fit Studio. In the battle, she is a shield spirit with 3300 power.
Spirits
Wii Fit Trainer's Fighter Spirits can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. They are also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Wii Fit Trainer in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As Fighter Spirits, they cannot be used in Spirit Battles and are purely aesthetic. Unlike most fighters, the Spirits for Wii Fit Trainer only use their artwork from Ultimate, rather than also having alternative artwork from a previous appearance.
Additionally, the Wii Fit Trainers makes an appearance in various Support Spirits.

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, the female 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.
- In French, Spanish, and German, the voice clip from the announcer on the victory screen is slightly different from the one used on the character select screen, instead featuring a noticeable translation of "the" ("l'Entraîneuse Wii Fit"/"l'Entraîneur Wii Fit", "la Entrenadora de Wii Fit"/"el Entrenador de Wii Fit", and "die Wii Fit-Trainerin"/"der Wii Fit-Trainer"). She shares this trait with Inkling, Pokémon Trainer, Villager, and the Mii Fighters.
