Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Cheats and Tips

This feature becomes unlocked when you have reached the True Ending in World of Light. You will then be able to enter New Game+ on your save file. All spirits and bosses return, making it a good way to earn more copies of spirits, and earning more skill spheres.

The only way that you are able to unlock new characters is by winning the Challenger Fights. If you fail in a Challenger Fight you can always retry by going to the 'Games and More' section and looking out for a glowing door in the bottom righthand corner. This door will give you the opportunity to rematch and unlock the character you previously lost against.

Final Smash moves are powerful finshers that are granted after breaking a Smash Ball. To unleash your characters Final Smash you must break a Smash Ball and then hit the 'Special' button (without tilting the left stick in any direction).

If you press 'Jump' and 'Attack' at the same time your character will perform a short-hop attack. This manoeuvre will push you off of the ground for a short distance while performing an aerial attack at the same time. Short-hop attacks can be vital to countering an aggressive opponent.

There are two different boxing ring designs, one is the generic version which has a Smash Bros. Motif which the game selects by default and the other is based on World Circuit from Punch Out! Which is selected on the stage screen by holding down the L button when selecting the generic version.

If you would rather unlock default Mii Fighters than create your own you can do this by finding them at specific locations in World of Light. Once you have unlocked a default Mii Fighter they can be used in every mode except Classic.

Mii Brawer:

World of Dark - Sacred Realm, after setting the red and blue torches to a 4:40 clock.

Mii Gunner:

World of Light - Island Area

Mii Swordfighter:
