The day is finally here, folks! Joker is arriving in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character today.
A star of Persona 5, Joker is arguably one of the flashiest fighters on the Smash scene. We're completely down for the red and black theme presented in his main costume and stage, but there are plenty more costumes available, too. As such, we thought it'd be a good idea to present a full gallery of every Joker costume.
We've gathered all eight of Joker's alternate costumes for you below, and we've even tracked down the Mii outfits based on the Persona series and a quick look at Kirby's appearance after swallowing Joker whole. Video games are weird.
So, let's kick things off with these four alternate costumes below. Straight colour swaps from Joker's main outfit (which you can see in the main image above), these costumes each resemble past entries into the Persona series. The purple represents the colour scheme of Revelations: Persona; the blue resembles Persona 3; yellow for Persona 4; and red serves as a reversal of Joker's usual appearance.
We also have this white outfit, which kind of resembles Persona 5's Crow.
Next up are these two school-based outfits. Because Joker loses his mask for this outfit, you'll notice that he actually takes off his glasses when summoning Arsene instead.
Next up, Kirby. That hair is fantastic.
And finally, the four Mii Fighter costumes. Arriving as paid DLC, we have the Morgana Hat (Persona 5), Persona 4 Protagonist and Teddie Hat (Persona 4) and Persona 3 Protagonist (Persona 3). Each of these are also available to purchase from today for $0.75 each.
So, there we have it. Make sure to let us know if you'll be checking out Joker in the full game today with a comment below.

Welp, it's official......they gave Kirby a gun. May god have mercy on our souls.
Does anyone actually buy the Mii costumes?
@Bunkerneath They apparently sold well in the Wiiu game. Which they did release a bunch of neat ones like Geno and Megaman X. So I guess it all depends on what the costumes are based on.
@Bunkerneath I’m sure it’s not just Mii
This reminds me that Persona 5 has still not been officialy annoucned for Switch D: . That's one of the two non-switch games I am waiting for (second being NieR: Automata). Sony's store had some sweet deals on it already, but I need to be able to play it on the go, if I am ever to play this game.
If there was a match where everyone was playing as Joker, I wonder what Reyn from Xenoblade Chronicles would say about it...
It just occurred to me that Kirby's Joker copy ability is a gun.
Kirby gets a gun.
Actually, I think they represented the other Phantom Thieves, Haru/Noir, Ryuji/Skull, Yusuke/Fox, and Ann/Panther.
Woah major spoilers on the Akechi thing btw
@RupeeClock
Kirby's had a gun since he copied Bayonetta in 2016.
I bet some fans are fainting from the sight of that Goro Akechi' recolour. It's easily the best-looking alternate colour from the lot.
Meh not interested in joker at all... Are we getting all these persona games??? if not, why in god's name is he in Smash?
@RushDawg
Yeah, but like a proper hand gun.
@NintyNate People are speculating they're gonna port Persona 5 to the Switch. There's an upcoming announcement next week from the Persona creators about a new project called "P5S".
It's not 100% confirmed, but it's a big rumor at the moment.
Am I the only person who has no clue who this joker is??
@patbacknitro18 You mean they gave Kirby a gun again, right? He uses them when he copies Bayonetta, too.
The funny thing about Joker is not that Kirby gets a gun from him.
It's the fact that Joker gets a kinda realistic gun, while Snake still has no firearms. What's the excuse?
You know Kirby has had a gun since Super Smash Bros 64 if you count Fox's blaster.
So what if Snake doesn't have a handgun. He still has a badass arsenal.
@RupeeClock Get ready for Delete This memes.
@Sebas Who needs a gun when you have an RPG, Nikita Missles, C4 explosives, Hand Grenades, mortar shells and CQC skills?
Oh wait, Joker has a Grappling Hook as well. Snake is screwed no matter what.
@thesilverbrick There's a difference between silly Gun Heels, and Kirby holding an actual freaking handgun.
@RupeeClock @patbacknitro18 Bayonetta Kirby already has a gun.
@patbacknitro18 No, not just heels, he uses regular guns as well.
Also, Kirby had a regular gun in the Quick Draw minigame in Kirby's Adventure: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/kirby/images/a/aa/Quick_Draw.gif/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/180?cb=20081208170915&path-prefix=en
@nessisonett How is it a spoiler
He looks pretty cool. Wish I knew who he was. Also, what's up with the cat? And Kirby gets a firearm?!
@NintyNate I agree. Don't know why Joker is in this. The accompanying hype and this very article seems to be scraping the barrel. Guess this all has been generated by the rumour of an RPG possibly coming to Switch, or I am missing something.
i see fighter pass 2 being announced at E3
Kirby got a gun,
Kirby got a gun,
his dog days just begun,
now everybody is on the run
What did Pikachu do?
It's Kirby last IOU
@Shellcore I don't like persona personally, but there are load of better Ninty fighters out there
@Zerocritic The whole Akechi business is so much better going in completely blind. Revealing that he has a Persona might be slightly too much information. Some people might not be bothered but the twists in the story are great without knowing anything.
@Torakaka why not both
@hanp01 He's from the currently PlayStation Exclusive game, Persona 5. There is a lot of rumors going around though that the game will be ported to Switch.
@patbacknitro18 He alternates between holding Bayo’s guns and firing with his feet.
@hanp01 He is from Persona 5, which is a PS4 exclusive but there have been heavy rumors pointing to a Switch port (frankly it's only a matter of time). The Persona games are basically spin offs of the Shin Megami Tensei series of RPGs and those have a long history with Nintendo all the way back to Super Famicom, with SMT V announced as Switch exclusive.
Also, I'd like to point out Joker's red color scheme represents both Persona 2 Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment games. Also, Kirby looks fabulous with that hairstyle!
@RupeeClock
Which is what Bayonetta uses...
@NintyNate
Bait
@The_Keywork don't understand that lol
@NintyNate
That doesn't surprise me.
@NintyNate
Don't worry, he's taking dissenting opinions and calling it bait in an attempt to bait people into an argument.
@shaneoh yeah I sorta guessed, cheers 👍🙂
@NintyNate
No need to get emotional. Babies cry when they don't get what they want because that's all they know. Try and be more than a baby.

"When you can't deal with life's problems on your own, just throw them on sometime else "
I see you're speaking from experience
@shaneoh obviously
