One of the things that distinguishes Super Smash Bros. Ultimate from its predecessors is its use of Spirits, which are in-game power-ups and collectibles that boost a character's stats or give them a unique ability. Since its release in December 2018, the Nintendo Switch exclusive developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Sora Ltd. has managed to amass more than 1,500 Spirits, and that list is expected to expand within just a couple of days.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's introduction of new Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Princess Peach: Showtime! Spirits is part of a special campaign that commemorates the fighting game's fifth anniversary, and this latest batch will be the last in the celebration. Prior to this, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate received Spirits from the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet series, with Ninth Generation Legendary Pokemon Koraidon and Miraidon being the first to make their way to the game in February. They were followed by Ogerpon, Terapagos, and the Paldea starters, Fuecoco, Quaxly, and Sprigatito.
