To back up the new Spirits feature and give it narrative context, a new single-player mode was announced, titled "World of Light".

To learn more about this (fairly complex) new feature, check out the full presentation. There will be "thousands of combinations" of spirits available. Spirits can also be levelled up, improving the bonuses they give to characters, and will grant extra abilities like speed and strength to fighters in battle. Like Trophies, Spirits take the form of characters from the fighters' franchises and histories, but unlike Trophies, they can be assigned to characters in order to power them up and change their stats in various ways. Spirits replace the previous games' unlockable Trophies. Ultimate Nintendo Direct was a new feature named Spirits. Each one can be bought separately for $5.99, or the Fighters Pass (which unlocks all 5 as and when they come out) can be purchased for $24.99.Īlso announced during the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate already contains the series' entire prior roster, the new characters will be designed from scratch as Sakurai explicitly stated they will not be echo fighters. Details aren't yet clear on who these fighters will be, but since Super Smash Bros. Piranha Plant doesn't appear to be part of this line-up instead, it's an extra bonus for early purchases. In addition, Sakurai also unveiled that the Smash Bros team is working on five upcoming DLC packs, each of which will incorporate a fighter, a stage, and several music themes. Pre-ordering the game now will guarantee you access to Piranha Plant when the character is released in February next year. The character won't be available until around February 2019, and those who didn't pre-order the game can still purchase this character (plus an extra stage and music tracks) in the future. In order to get this character, players must purchase the digital version of the game before January 31st, 2019, or register their physical copy of the game on their Nintendo Switch.
