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 outfits, while characters such as Pokémon Trainer, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Robin, Corrin, Inkling, and Byleth have male and female variants, and characters such as Bowser Jr., Olimar, Hero, and Steve swap them into different characters that change their voice lines and name, though gameplay-wise they remain the same.

Unlike previous installments, palette swaps are now notated by Color number. 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 (except for the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon and Pyra/Mythra, who will be loaded first), meaning the characters from the original Super Smash Bros. will have their palettes shown earlier than characters that are DLC.

N/A: Color that is original to Smash and doesn't have any particular reference.

Mii Fighters

Trivia

• There is a total of 688 palette swaps (discounting Mii Fighter Costumes).
• Like with Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, the average number of costumes per character is 8.
  • However unlike both Super Smash Bros. Brawl and 3DS/Wii U, there is no fighter that has more or less 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.
    • This marks the first time all fighters have the same number of color palettes.
• Link, Yoshi, Pikachu, Wario, Ike, Olimar, Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, Ridley, Isabelle, Piranha Plant, and Steve are the only characters who have alternate designs but lack a unique render pose for them.
• The artwork for Ganondorf's 4th costume displays the lining around his armor colored gold, despite it actually being colored white in-game.
