'''Palette Swaps in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''''' remain the same for the majority of the cast returning from the previous title, but characters such as Mario and Ike received new alternate costumes, while characters such as Peach and Samus received new palette swaps due to the addition of their Echo Fighters.

'''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.

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.

Her [[Bullet Climax]] has slighty different sound effects for the two different costume types.

Revision as of 16:36, 16 January 2020

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 #."

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.
