What is Super Smash Bros?

Super Smash Bros. is a popular fighting game series developed by Nintendo. The series began in 1999 with the release of the original Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64. Since then, it has been released on several other Nintendo consoles, including the GameCube, Wii, and Nintendo Switch.

It is known for its fast-paced, frenetic gameplay, and its ability to accommodate players of all skill levels. It features several different game modes, including Classic mode, where players battle through a series of opponents to reach the final boss, and All-Star mode, where players battle against every character in the game. Players can also engage in matches with friends or compete against other players online.

The game has a vast and diverse roster of characters, each with their unique move set, abilities and play style. From the iconic and classic characters like Mario, Donkey Kong and Link, to the newer and less known characters like Inkling and Ridley, to the third party characters like Sonic, Mega Man and Pac-Man - each one of them brings a different approach to the game, making it even more fun and challenging.

How to unlock characters in Super Smash Bros?

There are numerous ways to unlock characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, depending on which mode you prefer to play in.

  • With VS. Mode, you can unlock characters by playing through multiple matches and periodically checking the Games and More hub for a small door icon called the Challenger’s Approach. When it appears, one or more opponents will challenge you to a battle. If you win the match, you will unlock the character.

  • In Classic Mode, you can unlock characters by completing a full round of Classic Mode with any Fighter. This will guarantee a challenger who, if you win against, will unlock the character.

  • In World of Light, you can unlock characters by freeing their Captive Spirits in the Adventure Mode. You must travel around the world, complete specific tasks and defeat a variety of opponents in order to free the spirit of the character you wish to unlock.

No matter which mode you choose, you will be able to unlock nearly every character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Just remember to keep playing and check back periodically to see if any challengers have come your way.
