Following the trend set by Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, DLC fighters were 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 got released. Five characters are included in the first Fighters pass, and six characters are included in the second. Each wave is 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.

Bonus character

Fighters Pass 1

The Team Rocket Hat and Outfit released alongside Wave 3 of Fighters Pass 1

Pokémon stages

Pokémon music

Unlike in previous games, in which each stage had its own individual selection of music tracks, all music tracks from the Pokémon series can now be played on any Pokémon series stage.

Poké Balls can contain any of the above Pokémon, while Master Balls can only contain Legendary Pokémon, Mythical Pokémon, Zoroark, and Goldeen. The Pokémon contained in a Poké Ball or Master Ball is randomly selected (though some are more common than others) and is determined when the item is spawned. Certain Pokémon cannot appear on certain stages; for example, Lunala's attack has it flying into the background, so it never appears on stages with moving or obstructive backgrounds.

Trivia

Unused Dragonite model
  • This is the first Super Smash Bros. game to:
    • Have a worldwide simultaneous release.
    • Not introduce a new Pokémon stage.
    • Not introduce a new type in a playable Pokémon.
    • Introduce a playable Pokémon character from an odd-numbered generation after Generation I.
    • Have more Assist Trophies than Pokémon that come out of Poké Balls.
    • Not remove any Poké Ball Pokémon from the previous installment.
  • In order to make room for the USK rating symbol on the German cover of the game, Yoshi was removed and Pikachu was moved further up, as it was thought that Pikachu had more popularity than Yoshi.[10]
  • All of the new Pokémon that come out of Poké Balls are from Generations I or VII. However, Scizor appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon for the first time in the series since Super Smash Bros. Melee.
  • The game's files contain an unused model for Dragonite as a Poké Ball Pokémon. Although Dragonite does not appear as a Poké Ball Pokémon in the final game, it is seen in the background of the Kalos Pokémon League stage.
  • The second arrangement of the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl "Battle! (Wild Pokémon)" theme, which debuted in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, is the only Pokémon music track previously featured in a Super Smash Bros. game to not return in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
  • Poké Floats is the only Pokémon stage from a previous Super Smash Bros. game to not return in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
