Mementos is a DLC stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is bundled with Joker in Challenger Pack 1, which is also part of the Fighter Pass.

Stage Overview

Mementos appears to have one main platform with a slant in the middle similar to Meta Crystal, with one platform over the center and another over the left side. Trains periodically appear in the background, the set below the stage being able to damage fighters. Occasionally, a large triangle-shaped object appears at the top of the stage.

If a song from Persona 3 or Persona 4 is playing during a match, the color scheme of Mementos will change from red to blue or yellow respectively, the respective primary colors for each game. If Joker wins a match with the alternate music, the victory pose screen and subsequent music change accordingly to the ones found in the home series.

Appearing in the background are the other Phantom Thieves of Hearts:

  • Ryuji Sakamoto, code named Skull.
  • Ann Takamaki, code named Panther.
  • Yusuke Kitagawa, code named Fox.
  • Makoto Niijima, code named Queen.
  • Haru Okumura, code named Noir.

Origin

Exploring Mementos in Persona 5. Unlike the game's dungeon crawling in Palaces, the player traverses mostly by driving inside the "Morganamobile".
Overview of Mementos in Persona 5.

Mementos is a location that is visited several times throughout Persona 5. Part of the mysterious Metaverse, it is the Palace of the collective unconscious. Located under the subway tunnels of Shibuya, it is lined with train tracks and train platforms that Shadows, the game's enemies, actually use to traverse the dungeon. As it would be infeasible to traverse the dungeon by foot, the shapeshifting Morgana transforms into a car and has the protagonist drive him when exploring it.

The Phantom Thieves are able to visit Mementos in order to take requests to change the hearts of people whose distortions are not bad enough to cause their own individual Palace to manifest. Exploring Mementos' randomly generated floors also offers the opportunity to gain money and EXP, as well as capture Personas that the player may have missed in a previous Palace. An entrance to the Velvet Room is conveniently located at the entrance to Mementos, allowing a player to summon or fuse new Personas.

As the Phantom Thieves' notoriety increases, they are able to explore more and more of Mementos. Mementos serves as the final dungeon of the game, as they team sets out to change the heart of society at large. They manage to reach the deepest depths of Mementos where they find the Holy Grail, an incarnation of Yaldabaoth, the God of Control. Yaldabaoth easily defeats the Phantom Thieves and merges Mementos with reality before being defeated by the Phantom Thieves for good.
