The icon for the Fighters Pass Vol. 1.

In the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Nintendo Direct on November 1st, 2018, Masahiro Sakurai confirmed that paid DLC would be available for Ultimate. The initial wave of content comes in the form of five Challenger Pack bundles, each containing one entirely unique fighter, one stage, and several music tracks. These bundles, which are also available through a complete pack known as the Fighters Pass, were released periodically through January 28th, 2020. Additionally, Piranha Plant was available for free as a limited time early purchase bonus, and is currently available for purchase separate from the Fighters Pass. On November 6th, 2018, Sakurai announced on his Twitter account that the initial DLC line-up was finalized, and that potential fighters were proposed by Nintendo, with Sakurai passing final approval on them.

The icon for Fighters Pass Vol. 2.

During the Nintendo Direct on September 4th, 2019, Nintendo revealed that more DLC fighters were set to be in production after the first Fighters Pass, due to Ultimate's strong sales. As with before, Nintendo proposed the potential fighters and Sakurai passed final approval. On January 16th, 2020, Fighters Pass Vol. 2 was announced, with the previous Fighters Pass retroactively being dubbed Vol. 1. The Pass will include six Challenger Packs; just like in Vol. 1, each pack contains one fighter, one stage, and several music tracks. Vol. 2 was made available for purchase alongside Byleth on January 28th, 2020. These six packs are planned to be released by December 31st, 2021. According to Sakurai, this will be the last DLC released for Ultimate. He also said that the DLC characters for the Fighters Pass Vol. 2 may face delay or that development may be stopped indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of lockdowns in various cities in Japan, development will continue through remote working. Despite this, development for the Fighter Pass Vol. 2 is going smoothly without problems as of April 2020.

Updates

Updates to the game are downloadable at no extra cost. In order to use DLC, the game must be updated to the latest version, which can be done automatically by starting the game from the system's Home Menu, or manually triggered from the Switch's Home Menu. Most updates also adjust game balance and mechanics, while fixing glitches and other errors as well. Changelogs for all updates are available at the links above.

As with any other game, DLC data is added via free updates. Completing a transaction to receive DLC is merely a "ticket" to grant access to said content. What this means is that DLC not purchased in an updated version is still technically installed but locked, and thus is accessible indirectly. Content that is locked can be seen and played against with opponents connecting via a system that has paid for the DLC (within Wireless and Online modes). Aside from this, locked content can also be seen using amiibo as Figure Players, and saving uploaded or shared replays.

Fighters

As every veteran is in the base game and none were cut, all DLC characters are newcomers.

Each DLC character is unlocked in Adventure Mode: World of Light after awakening 10 fighters.

Standalone Fighter

While Piranha Plant is not part of any Fighters Pass or any Challenger Pack (and thus does not come with a stage, music, or spirits), it was made available for purchase separately on February 1st, 2019.

Stages

Standalone Stage

Small Battlefield (August 4th, 2020)

Small Battlefield was added as a standalone stage as part of the 8.1.0 update. The stage is identical to Battlefield with the exception of the removal of the top platform, and the remaining two floating platforms being slightly closer to each other.

Fighters Pass Vol. 1

Mementos (April 17th, 2019)

Mementos comes as a set with Joker as part of Challenger Pack 1. Mementos has 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 wall appears at the top or on the sides of the stage. The trains and the walls will never appear at the same time.

• 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. The decoration in the background also changes to either a moon or the streaks found in Persona 4's UI. 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.

Yggdrasil's Altar (July 30th, 2019)

Yggdrasil's Altar comes as a set with the Hero as part of Challenger Pack 2. It consists of a flat main platform that travels over the world of Erdrea, with smaller platforms appearing on occasion. Treasure chests may appear on one of these platforms. Usually, opening them will release an item, but these chests may sometimes be Mimics that can damage fighters; defeating them will cause them to drop an item.

Spiral Mountain (September 4th, 2019)

Spiral Mountain comes as a set with Banjo & Kazooie as part of Challenger Pack 3. The fight takes place on the peak of the titular mountain. The stage will rotate every so often, which determines whether or not fighters can stand on the slope of the mountain. Floating platforms and a bridge to Gruntilda's Lair will also appear on occasion.

King of Fighters Stadium (November 6th, 2019)

King of Fighters Stadium comes as a set with Terry as part of Challenger Pack 4. It is a stadium based on "The King of Fighters" tournament. The stage is completely flat, and there are no bottom blast zones. The blast zones on the sides are blocked off by an invisible wall that can be broken when opponents are dealt enough knockback.

Garreg Mach Monastery (January 28th, 2020)

Garreg Mach Monastery comes as a set with Byleth as part of Challenger Pack 5. It is a traveling stage taking place in the primary location of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, stopping specifically at the Marketplace, the Reception Hall, the Bridge, and the Cathedral. All locations have walk-off blastlines, with the Marketplace featuring destructible booths, the Reception Hall having chandeliers that can be dropped, and the Cathedral making use of semi-solid platforms.

Fighters Pass Vol. 2

Spring Stadium (June 29th, 2020)

Spring Stadium comes as a set with Min Min as part of Challenger Pack 6. It consists of a single floating platform with periodically-activating bounce platforms on both edges as well as on a soft platform hovering above. Periodically-appearing small bounce platforms may appear beneath and to either side of the main platform as well. Stadium arches are located near the upper blast zone, and can be used to break an otherwise KO-inducing fall.

Minecraft World (October 13th, 2020)

Minecraft World comes as a set with Steve as part of Challenger Pack 7. It has six different biomes, each with a slightly different layout. Each biome has blocks that can be destroyed and platforms above the stage.

These spirits (excluding Fighter spirits, which can be unlocked through Classic Mode or purchased from the shop for 300 coins) can be accessed through a special DLC-exclusive Spirit Board that does not have spirits expire or use the Puppet fighter scene.

A handful of other spirits are also updated when certain Mii Costumes are purchased and downloaded. These spirits can either come from the base game or can be DLC exclusive, but will change to include new costumes or songs that are related to the spirits.

Trivia

• Following the announcement of the Hero and Banjo & Kazooie, the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site went from listing six DLC characters (Piranha Plant, Joker, and four "unknown"/empty slots) to listing eight (adding the Hero and Banjo & Kazooie without removing any of the empty slots). As there was no corresponding announcement of additional downloadable characters, this was likely an error, and it was later fixed. A similar mistake was later made with Sephiroth's addition, maintaining four empty slots instead of replacing one. This was also fixed.
• Every DLC stage has featured other characters making cameos on the stage (in the case of Spring Stadium, the characters only make cameos on the jumbotrons in the background).
• Challenger Pack 4 currently holds the most music added as downloadable content in both Ultimate and SSB4's history, with a total of 50 tracks.
  • Similarly, Fatal Fury has the highest music count out of any third party series across both games, due to the various tracks from multiple series.
• Challenger Pack 5 is currently the only Challenger Pack to have none of its contents revealed prior to its Mr. Sakurai Presents presentation, only them be revealed during it. While Challenger Packs 1 and 6 also did not reveal their contents, their fighters, Joker and a character from ARMS, were revealed prior to its presentation (at the Game Awards 2018 and a March 2020 Nintendo Direct Mini respectively).
• Challenger Packs 5 and 9 are also the only ones so far to include music tracks that can play in multiple stages.
• With the exceptions of Terry and Sephiroth, every DLC character has at least one other character to assist them in their Final Smash.
  • Piranha Plant summons Petey Piranha.
  • Joker summons the Phantom Thieves in one of two groups of three.
  • Hero summons the seven other Heroes not represented as costumes.
  • Banjo & Kazooie summon a group of Jinjos and The Mighty Jinjonator.
  • Byleth is powered up by Sothis in his Final Smash.
  • Min Min's involves six characters from ARMS.
  • Steve's features a bunch of Zombies and Creepers.
    • Thus far, every DLC fighter that is part of a Fighters Pass has had a cinematic Final Smash.
• With the sole exception of Piranha Plant (referred to by its Japanese name "packun"), every downloadable fighter’s name in the code differs from that of their actual names.
  • Joker's code name is "jack", referencing Jack Frost, a recurring character from the Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series.
  • Hero's is "brave", which is a direct translation of his Japanese name, Yusha.
  • Banjo & Kazooie's is "buddy", referencing their two-in-one nature.
  • Terry's is "dolly", a pun based on the Japanese pronunciation of the last syllables of his surname and first name, respectively (Bogādo Terī).
  • Byleth's is "master", referencing his status as a teacher in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
  • Min Min's is "tantan", which is a type of ramen noodles, referencing her love for the food.
  • Steve's is "pickel", which is the Japanese word for ice axes, deriving from the German word "Eispickel".
• Banjo, Kazooie and Min Min are currently the only DLC characters whose voice clips are recycled from their own games rather than recorded specifically for Smash, while Piranha Plant and Steve are the only DLC fighters thus far to not have any voice clips.
• In North America, when trailers for new Mii Fighter costumes are shown off, costumes of characters that are from an ESRB M-rated franchise only show the name of the character alongside the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate logo, rather than the logo of the franchise the character is from. So far, this has occurred with Altaïr (Assassin's Creed), Vault Boy (Fallout), and Travis (No More Heroes). Persona, another M-rated series, does not follow this pattern however due to Persona having a playable character.
  • Other regions show the logo of the game regardless of the game's age rating.
• Erdrick, Banjo, and Kazooie are currently the only DLC characters to appear in an animated trailer other than their own. In this case, they appeared in Sephiroth's trailer.
