SpiritBoard

Spirit Board is a game mode featured in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The Spirit Board allows 1-4 players to select from a selection of Spirits that rotate on a timely basis. The player or team will then enter the Spirit battle with the same conditions and fighters the spirit usually has in Adventure. If any player in the team gets KO'd, the battle ends in defeat. After losing the fight, the players will return to the Spirit Board. If they lose to the same spirit battle three times, the spirit will disappear from the board.

After winning the battle, the player is then put into a minigame called "Free Spirit", where the player is found in front of the defeated fighter using a gun that somewhat resembles one of Samus's arms with the Spirit logo on it. The defeated fighter will have a shield rotating around them in the shape of a circle with a segment missing. If the player presses A, the gun will instantly shoot a beam that travels immediately to its destination in a straight line. If the beam hits the defeated fighter, the fighter will get KO'd and the spirit is freed. The spirit will then immediately go to the owner's collection where they can use it or dismiss it freely. However, if the beam hits the shield, the defeated fighter can run away with the spirit still in its posession unless if the player pays Spirit Points to try again. Every time the gun hits the shield, the shield will become smaller and will stay that size in all the next fights until the spirit is freed, when it will reset. During this phase, the Sluggish Shield and Shield Spacer items can be used to make freeing the Spirit easier. If the spirit is freed or if the player fails in the Free Spirit phase, the spirit will also disappear from the board.

Every week, events are held on the Spirit Board that will affect the spirits on the spirit board. Each event has a certain theme, with its own set of spirits appearing randomly and spirits that periodically appear, meaning these spirits appear at certain hours and disappear when the hour ends.
