Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Japanese: 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ SPECIAL Great Fray Smash Brothers Special) is the sixth installment in the Super Smash Bros. series. It was first teased March 8, 2018, and was then revealed in full on a Nintendo Direct on June 12, during E3. It released worldwide on the Nintendo Switch on December 7, 2018. The game brings together all fighters from previous installments together in one game, as well as some new fighters.

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 eight currently released and more announced for future release.

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).

The next five DLC characters are each included in their own Challenger Pack bundle, which includes the fighter, a stage, and music tracks. A Fighters Pass is also available, a season pass that entitles the purchaser to all five of these Challenger Packs as they are released. 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, and Gunner, wigs and hats can be worn by all three.

Additionally, further DLC characters have been confirmed to be in a second Fighter's Pass.
