The Spirits themselves also allow you to get creative ahead of fights. It is so much fun seeing how things are pieced together to try and foster a connection between the Spirit that is supposedly possessing the character. Fatal Frame II’s Mio & Mayu Amakura fight has a Daisy and Peach in matching outfits constantly running away from you on the Luigi’s Mansion stage. Getting the Kaitlin & Katie Spirit has you fight a normal-sized Isabelle and tiny Isabelle. The Lon’qu Spirit fight has you face a Chrom in a dark outfit who is also wielding a Killing Edge and has more powerful slash and stab attacks. For example, there is a fight to get an Ashley Spirit that pits you against a Mii Swordfighter dressed Ashley and a miniature Ridley that is supposed to remind people of Ashley’s demon minion Red on the WarioWare stage.

Each battle has matches that try to grasp the feel of a character, if not the actual person. In Super Smash Bros Ultimate World of Light, players take a growing party of characters around a worldmap that gradually opens up and unlocks as you face new fights.
