''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is the eighth ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]''-related game to receive a {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}} 12+ rating in Europe, being preceded by the five prior ''Super Smash Bros.'' installments and the [[Virtual Console]] releases of ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''
''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is the sixth (fifth if ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' are counted as one game) ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-related game to receive a {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}} 12+ rating in Europe, being preceded by the previous three ''Super Smash Bros.'' installments (''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'') and the [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]] releases of ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''

==Gameplay==
''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' retains the series' basic gameplay elements, with several new mechanics and changes. As with previous installments, the objective of the game is to launch opponents off the stage. Players build each other's damage percentage through attacks, and the higher the percentage, the farther they fly when they are hit. This time, the damage display is in decimal notation, adding a tenth to the number. Decimals have always been used for damage calculations since ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', but the damage percentages were always displayed as an integer on-screen. ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is the first time that decimal notations are shown in-game. Additionally, when an opponent is launched, their launch speed is the fastest at the start, unlike in previous games in the series. During 1-on-1 battles, all fighters' attacks deal 1.2x their regular damage, which is done to "increase gameplay speed."<ref name=E32018Direct> Nintendo. (June 13, 2018). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akohTFyGu88 Nintendo Direct: E3 2018] ''YouTube''. Retrieved June 13, 2018.</ref> Additionally, characters can use any ground attack out of a run (e.g. standard attacks, tilt attacks, [[Smash attack (move)|smash attacks]]), while any aerial attack can be used while climbing a ladder, officially known as a "ladder attack".

Three techniques are also introduced in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'': the Directional [[smashwiki:air dodge|Air Dodge]], Short-Hop Attack, and a new version of the Perfect [[smashwiki:shield|Shield]]. The Directional Air Dodge, a technique carried over from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', allows the player to dodge while moving in the direction they tilt {{button|switch|leftstick}}, which can also be used for recovery. However, if a player dodges excessively—whether in the air or on the ground—they become more vulnerable to attacks, with less intangibility and lower dodge speed. The Short-Hop Attack is performed by pressing the attack and jump buttons at the same time, allowing the player to hop a short distance off the ground while performing an air attack; however, all short-hopped aerial attacks deal 0.85x their regular damage (excluding special moves, and certain states such as Peach and Daisy's [[Floating Jump]] attacks and the [[Super Leaf]] item). The Perfect Shield can be used to block attacks without depleting the user's shield. However, unlike in past installments, where it is activated by pressing the shield button before an attack connects, the Perfect Shield is instead performed by releasing the shield button just as an opponent's attack lands, nullifying the attack.

*'''Activities:''' There are many activities for spirits to do, but the corresponding master spirit must first be unlocked in World of Light. When the player gives away spirits to these facilities, they cannot be used, and the player will wait a period before they are done with their activity. However, they can be pulled out at any time. There are three types of activities: the Gym, run by Doc Louis, allows players to place spirits there and they will level up on their own. The Dojos allows spirits to gain specific strengths in their stats, but also weaknesses as well. Explore allows spirits to go out and find various items.

Uniquely, seven characters (two veterans and five newcomers) are given a special category known as Echo Fighters, which are characters whose movesets are heavily derived from those of other characters. While some Echo Fighters have distinct differences, such as Chrom and Ken, others, like Daisy and Richter, may be completely identical to the fighter they are based on. However, while their movesets may be similar to their base character, they have unique visual differences such as Final Smashes, taunts, victory animations, and, in some cases, victory themes.

The number beside each playable character (excluding Echo Fighters) signifies the order in which they were announced to be playable in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series; in the case of the unlockable characters from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', their order is based on the number of Smash matches required to unlock them in that game. Instead of having their own number, Echo Fighters are given the same number as their base counterpart with a lower-case epsilon symbol (ε) being placed next to the number. (This also affects their location on the character selection screen.) This numerical order is similar to the character order in the previous game's Sound Test, with exceptions such as third-party characters and previously unlockable characters being mixed in with other characters, and Echo Fighters being placed next to the characters they are based on. As Sheik was announced for ''Melee'' before Zelda, their order is also swapped.

''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' contains the most unlockable characters out of any ''Super Smash Bros.'' game. The starting roster consists of the eight starting fighters from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', as well as the ability to create a [[Mii]] to include them as starter characters; the rest of the roster needs to be unlocked. There are three ways for a character to be unlocked:
Of the playable character roster, if excluding [[Mii Fighter]]s, [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]], and Banjo & Kazooie, fourteen originate from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] and its spin-off series (twenty-one if counting each of the [[Koopalings]]), with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Bowser]], [[Dr. Mario]], [[Rosalina]] & [[Luma]], [[Bowser Jr.]], Daisy, Piranha Plant, [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], King K. Rool, [[Yoshi]], and [[Wario]] being playable.
