Nintendo has revealed the theme for the next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Spirit event, and this time it's doubling up as a celebration for Mother's Day.
Called 'Mum's the Word!', the event will kick off this Friday and lasts for three days as always. The Spirit board will be littered with motherly characters for you to win, and you'll earn triple the usual SP for adding one to your collection.
If, like us, you happen to live in the UK and are confused about the event being Mother's Day-themed, worry not. In most places, Mother's Day is taking place on 12th May (consider this your reminder to pick up a last-minute gift if you celebrate the day).
Are you missing any of these Spirits? Would you rather Smash received a new kind of event to enjoy? Let us know in the usual place.

Mother's Day happens on a different date in UK?
"Smash Bros Ultimate. Instead of being with your Mum this Mothers Day, play our game"
some good spoilers there
Okay, who censored my comment? I didn't even swear.
Soo.. where was our Mother's day event? Very odd that Nintendo would ostracize an entire country of mothers. </sarcasm>
At least we all celebrate Father's day the same? (Probably somewhere doesn't).
@Bobb We celebrate it last Sunday of March.
Mothering sunday was created in order for people to return to their 'Mother' church. It is a Christian religious thing and nothing to do with mothers, just another religious 'thing' now marketed for profit.
My mum taught me that.
If you love your mum (mom, whatever) just buy her a gift or give her a call at some random time of the year, she'll appreciate it more.
Oh and play more Smash
@XenoShaun Thank you for the info 😃
The more you know, right?
Still not a fan of these but I like that they're celebrating Mother's Day through this, it's pretty nice!
I totally thought Mother’s Day was 21 for some reason. That’s Memorial Day (US). Mom just wanted a radio, so guess I’ll be shopping Friday.
So Mother 3 then, eh Nintendo? Ahh nevermind...
Isnt that the mom from WarioWare? Hope shes not as popular as Gardevoir on the Internet.
.. i searched. Humans never stops surprising me.
Pfftt it was Mother’s Day in March. Guess they forgot.
Eh, been there done that in like March. Bit odd the States have a different day.
@nessisonett not that odd considering they also call taps “faucets”, football “soccer” and rugby (in body armour) “football”.
As British humour is somewhat confusing to them too... this is just a joke. Keep your hair on.
No Mama Luigi doh...
Awww. Seeing Hinawa for a Mother's Day event makes me sad
What if we get mother 3 for mothers day.
What confusion will unfold after this.
Yeah, I'm from the UK and although I don't like to participate in this I did hang out with my mum and baby mum in the march date... I doubt I would have caught this one anyway, still doing the very past of WoL for the first time.
