Palette Swap (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)

Palette Swaps in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate remain the same for the majority of the cast returning from the previous title, with each character receiving eight total. However, characters such as Mario and Cloud possess different costumes, characters such as Robin and Corrin have male and female variants, while characters such as Bowser Jr. and Olimar change them into different characters that change their voicelines and name, though in-game they remain the same.

Unlike previous installments, palette swaps are now notated by "Color #." In addition, by selecting the character on the character slot, an additional menu can be brought up to display all the colors immediately, though the traditional method of selecting a palette swap via the left and right shoulder buttons is still retained. Palette swaps are loaded up by order of the character's placement in the roster, meaning the characters from Smash 64 will have their palettes shown earlier than characters that are DLC.

Piranha Plant
For each costume, the container Piranha Plant sits in alternates between a pot and a pipe.

Shulk
With the exception of his first and last alternate costumes, all of Shulk's alternate costumes are based on the color schemes of his traveling companions from Xenoblade Chronicles. His hair colors now also match these characters.

Villager
Villager's appearance varies greatly between costumes, with their eyes, hair, gender and clothing all changing. All of Villager's alternate costumes, with the exception of the yellow costume, are based on how the player may look at the start of a new game depending on how they answer questions asked by Kapp'n or Rover in Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk respectively. The shirts/dresses worn are named below.

Wario
Wario alternates between wearing his biker outfit from WarioWare and his classic overalls from the Mario and Wario Land games.

Stats

 * There is a total of (as of the release of Version 6.0 and Terry) 608 alternate costumes.
 * Like with 3DS/Wii U, the average number of costumes per character is 8.
 * However unlike both Brawl and 3DS/Wii U, there is currently no fighter that has more than 8 color palettes specifically for an alternate costume like with Wario in Brawl or Little Mac in 3DS/Wii U, meaning that the number eight is standardized.
