Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a fighting game and the fifth installment in the Super Smash Bros. series, released for Nintendo Switch in December 2018.
Contents
Blurb
Story
As with Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate features a story-based Adventure Mode, entitled "World of Light". In this mode, a being known as Galeem engulfs the universe in its light, defeating all of the fighters and reducing the bodies of all other characters into wandering Spirits that are used to control Galeem's army of puppet fighters. However, one fighter, Kirby, survives the attack, and must venture through the new world to free the captive fighters and Spirits and defeat Galeem.
Gameplay
As with the previous entries, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a 2D platform fighting game in which the goal for players is to KO each other by hitting them off of the stage. Returning from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the game supports up to eight players simultaneously, making this a standard feature rather than a standalone mode and allowing up to eight players to play on all stages. Notably, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate features all 63 playable characters that have appeared across all entries in the franchise alongside a set of new fighters.
A new mechanic introduced in this game are Spirits, a power-boosting collectable based upon the characters of various games and franchises. Spirits come in two main types: Primary Spirits, which grant fighters special buffs and abilities and can be leveled up to increase their strength; and Support Spirits, which can be equipped to a Primary Spirit that has slots for a Support Spirit and grant their own power boosts and abilities. Spirits are primarily obtained through Spirit Battles, a battle with unique conditions themed around the particular character, though there are other methods to obtain them, such as the in-game shop or as rewards for other modes. While Spirits can be used in standard Smash matches, they are most prominently featured in the game's Adventure Mode, World of Light, in which players must battle through an army of Spirits and traverse the mode's world to eventually defeat Galeem. Spirits can also be obtained through the Spirit Board, which rotates through a random set of Spirits, as well as through other means, such as shops and as rewards in other modes.
The game also features an Online mode, allowing players to battle against other players across the world. Quickplay mode allows a player to be randomly matched against other players based upon their preferred rulesets; winning matches in Quickplay allows the player to increase their Global Smash Power, a rating mechanic that returns from previous titles, and once a character's GSP is high enough, that character can be used in "Elite Smash", a version of Quickplay in which only high-GSP players are matched together. Also available are Battle Arenas, which allow players to create a dedicated room to battle other players; and Online Tourneys, which allow players to compete against one another in a tournament. Finally available is Shared Content, which allows players to post Mii Fighters, custom stages, and battle replays and videos for other players to view and download.
Other modes include Classic Mode, in which players must complete a sequence of themed battles unique to each character; Stage Builder, which allows players to design and create their own stages; Mob Smash, in which players must battle a horde of opponents; Home-Run Contest (added in Ver. 5.0.0), in which players must launch a Sandbag as far as possible; VR (added in Ver. 3.1.0), which allows players to use the Nintendo Labo Toy-Con VR Goggles to battle in virtual reality; and Training, which allows players to practice by controlling various aspects of gameplay.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is also compatible with amiibo; as with for Nintendo 3DS and for Wii U, players are able to create a "Figure Player" (FP) that they can train and level up, learning from the player as they battle and grow stronger; data from the previous entries can be transferred to Ultimate, which allows the amiibo to become stronger. amiibo can also be given Spirits to level up, increase their power, and grant them those abilities.
Development
A Nintendo Switch installment in the Super Smash Bros. series was initially revealed with a teaser trailer during the Nintendo Direct on March 8, 2018.[3] Series creator and director Masahiro Sakurai confirmed that he was working on the game soon after the trailer premiered.[1] The game was finally unveiled during Nintendo's E3 2018 presentation.[2]
The initial proposal for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was completed in December 2015, while the team was still working on DLC for the previous games.[4] Development for the new title officially started in February 2016.[5] Bandai Namco was once again contracted to develop the game, with much of the staff that worked on Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U returning.[4] For this installment, the team chose to use the previous title as a base to build off of rather than redevelop the game's systems entirely.[4]
