Main article: Downloadable content (SSBU) on Smash Bros. Wiki

Following the trend set by Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, DLC Characters have been added to the game since its launch, with twelve available for purchase in total.

The first DLC character, Piranha Plant from the Super Mario series, was initially available for free to anyone who purchased the game and registered it before January 31, 2019; after this date, it is available for purchase (as a single fighter, not part of a bundle).

All other DLC characters are each included in their own Challenger Pack bundle, which includes the fighter, a stage, and music tracks. Two Fighters Passes are also available, a season pass that entitles the purchaser to a set of Challenger Packs as they are released. Five characters are included in the first Fighters pass, and six characters are included in the second. Each wave has been accompanied by a set of costumes for Mii Fighters, sold separately from the full characters and the Fighters Pass. Note that while outfits are locked to specific playstyles (Brawler, Swordfighter, or Gunner), wigs and hats can be worn by all three.
