Upcoming Spirit Event In Smash Bros. Ultimate Celebrates The NES And Famicom

I haven’t tried spirit mode yet but I’m glad that they’re having these events.

is there any word if there are event exclusive ones like the mario one?

I'm sorry but I just cannot with spirit mode and world of light in this game. I played one hour of world of light before growing bored. The rest of the game? Phenomenal

World of light and the whole spirit system is so much fun. I have put a lot more time into World of light than I have playing regular Smash. Just adds a totally new twist to make you feel like you are almost playing a different game at some points but it still always feels like Smash.

Currently sitting at 1289 of the 1302 available Spirits collected! Just waiting for a few that I need for fusion to rotate through the Spirit Board (why are Octoroks so rare!?), and whenever they decide to make the Partner Pikachu & Eevee public.

I am seriously addicted to Spirits, and these events make me keep constantly checking back on the Spirit Board every couple of hours... so I can spend the next hour doing every single battle that pops up....

I might have a problem. I consider my Spirits stats under Records more important than every single other aspect of this game and can't seem to bring myself to even try to play any of my other games in the meantime.

And all this is AFTER I 100%ed my very first run of World of Light and then proceeded to start a New Game + just to unlock the 2 challenges that you need to do that for, stop in the middle of New Game + once I had done so, and then proceeded to set up camp on the Spirit Board.

@DickeyWord you win the Internet for best profile picture.

That's funny I think I have all of the spirits in the picture lol

I find the Spirit Board really fun to keep trying to beat different challenges. I’ve spent more time there than in the World of Light mode itself.

Wow...another so soon. So is this the second event or have I missed some already?

Of course it’s during the Splatfest

@GeeEmm So far, they've done events based on "characters wearing glasses", Fire Emblem, and the current Mario-themed one.

Kid Dracula?! Konami remembered him?

I just started with this game and went straight to the spirit board. I hate it when they make you play on specific days because of the limited time only rewards.

And I haven't been able to get the golden mushroom, that fight is too difficult to me.

@Geviper This one just alters what Spirits rotate through the board more frequently; no new Spirits are in this particular event. But it could still be useful for, say, farming Diskuns to summon Yellow Devil Spirits if you wanted, for instance.

@GeeEmm as stated by someone else, it’s the fourth event.

I’m slowly making my way through the Spirit board. Though I did snag the limited time Mario Party spirits!

Collecting Spirits is a blast! Having potentially missable spirits bothers me a little. Hopefully any event exclusive spirits become available at later times.

Also, I just feel like I need to say it, I wish each Spirit had a little write up about the character like the trophies did in the previous games. I loved reading about all the different games and characters. Just a minor complaint though since I am thoroughly addicted to the game.

Collecting Spirits does indeed give me a reason to keep playing beyond unlocking all the characters. Sometimes the challenges are really fun and I love the flavor.

Other times they are rage inducing BS that tempt me to whip my controller at the wall.

Ok wow. I hope there werent any exclusive ones in those events like the 3 in the Mario event. Otherwise the OCD in me is gonna have a field day.

Missed out on the Golden Mushroom from the previous event, hopefully it will come back around.
Spirit board has now taken over my life after completing World of Light.
Will give it about a month and then go back there for New Game+

@emaan Haven't seen anything official, but I doubt it if it's only going to be a three-dayer. Also, their picture shows only spirits that are already out (unlike the Mario Party one).

No exclusive spirits, so I'll stick to going through World of light. I'll get all of these spirits eventually.

I didn't expect Spirit Board to be good - but it's just so much fun. I got the exclusive Mario Party ones yesterday (just in time!). Sitting at around 300 spirits - so much more to find.

@VHSGLITCH thanks to you I looked at @DickeyWord avatar and I got a good chuckle after realising it was super nintendo chalmers.

I love every bit of smash.
even regular mode is so much fun playing with 4 or more.
whats also fun just beat the crap out of eachother and the winner can challenge a new fighter. Loved that part so much, felt like winning a prize.

@gokev13 Me too. I love to see retro references, but I don't know every one of them, and would like to see some museum like information. I was hoping there was one and I just hadn't found it yet. Too bad.

And I thought Mario Party spirits lasted a little longer, I thought it was until January 2 or 3. Now I see I missed them for good.

Some spirits are hardly a help, though.

Loving this, so addictive

Huh... During the Splatfest? Weird choice. Guess I'll have to divide my time between them.

@Moroboshi876
I managed to get the Mario Spirits. I thought I read that this new event had exclusive Spirits too but no one seemed to mention that hear so maybe I was mistaken.

I am kind of a completionist so I don't mind if they want to add Spirits but I don't really want the risk of having an empty slot on the collection screen. If you miss a Spirit it isn't necessarily a big deal because the abilities repeat and stuff, and there doesn't seem to be any write ups associated with them, but that empty slot would still bother me a bit.

Nintendo sure does love their regular NES stuff. I want spirits from newer things. Still, I'm surprised it wasn't a FE event to start it off

@darkswabber lololololol

I know having all the spirits as trophies would have been a huge pain but I don't see why the spirits couldn't have the history text like the trophies did.
