Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is this week hosting a Super Mario themed tournament. It's called "Who is the Superstar" and will be limited to a selection of Mario fighters and stages. The more wins you have, the better the spirits you'll get.
As you can see in the above image, it's the usual cast of characters including Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Bowser. Even Bowser Jr. and Piranha Plant are getting in on the action! The tournament starts later this week on 20th September and will run over the entire weekend.
Will you be participating in this event? Still enjoying Smash on a regular basis? Tell us below.

Love smash but too busy with other stuff, sadly.
Man, this weekend is going to be busy. I gotta get that Kirby skin for Tetris 99, then i still need to unlock Gnasty Norc in Crash Team Racing, gonna start Zelda: Link’s Awakening and now this too?!? What a time to be alive.
Wickedy boom.
Enjoying these. Very simple ideas, but work well.
As I've suggested before, just wish there was some kind of follow up, akin to Splatoon 2, then it would be even better.
Are these like the normal type Spirit board events, or do you actually have to be a Nintendo Switch online subscriber for these?
What about Yoshi, Dr. Mario, Daisy, Rosalina, Wario, DK? Those are all Mario characters... Diddy was even in Super Mario Party
@Liam_Doolan You may also want to report that the regular online tournament rulesets for 1v1 and Free-for-All formats got changed for the first time last night. 1v1 is now 1 stock instead of 2.

...and it's complete garbage sadly. Ruined my favorite online mode. I also hate the themed tourneys because they only ever do FFA (which gets really laggy), never any 1v1. It's unfortunate, I like the concept otherwise.
Mario Party music playing in my head, yup.
I would, but 1, I don't have NSO (and never will) and 2, I'm raiding Area 51 this Friday. /s
@KingBowser it’s an online Tourney, so the NSO sub is required to take part.
Daisy, Dr.Mario, and Rosalina & Luma are also included.
@gaga64 Great. Thanks.
But I don't have NSO. Are these spirits exclusive to NSO or can you find them in regular gameplay?
@KingBowser regular gameplay. There are exclusive spirits that come up in some (not all) of the timed Spirit Board events or tied into having a save file for another game, but they tend to eventually get added to the regular rotation (though not in any sensible order). And don’t need an online sub.
@gaga64 Okay. Thanks for clearing it up.
