Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a crossover fighting game developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Sora Ltd. and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It is the fifth installment in the Super Smash Bros. series, succeeding Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. The game follows the series' traditional style of gameplay: controlling one of various characters, players must use differing attacks to weaken their opponents and knock them out of an arena. It features a wide variety of game modes, including a campaign for a single-player and multiplayer versus modes. Ultimate includes every playable character from previous Super Smash Bros. games—ranging from Nintendo's mascots to characters from third-party franchises—and several newcomers.

The game's pre-production phase began in December 2015, following the development of 3DS/Wii U's downloadable content (DLC). Series creator and director Masahiro Sakurai returned along with Bandai Namco Studios and Sora, the studios that developed the previous game; the studios' return sped up the preparation process. Sakurai's goal with Ultimate was to include every character from previous games despite the various development and licensing problems this would cause. The game was announced at E3 2018, and was released worldwide on December 7, 2018. The game will be supported with a number of post-release downloadable content, including new characters, stages, music, ect.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a fighting game for up to 8 players in which characters from Nintendo games and from other third-party franchises must try to knock each other out of an arena. Each player has a percentage meter which raises when they take damage, making them easier to launch in the air and out of the arena. Standard battles use one of three victory conditions: Timed, where players aim to win the most points by defeating opponents within a time limit, Stock, where players have a set number of lives and must aim to be the last player standing, and Stamina, where players must simple reduce their opponent's health down to zero to defeat them. Players can adjust the rules to their liking and save them as presets for future matches.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as with other games in the Super Smash Bros. series, features a crossover cast of fighters from several different Nintendo franchises, as well as fighters from series by third-party developers such as Sega, Konami, Capcom, Bandai Namco Entertainment and Square Enix. The base game features 74 playable fighters, consisting of all 63 previous fighters from past entries and 11 new fighters; the Inklings from Splatoon, Princess Daisy from the Mario series, Ridley and Dark Samus from the Metroid series, Simon and Richter Belmont from the Castlevania series, Chrom from Fire Emblem: Awakening, King K. Rool from the Donkey Kong series, Isabelle from the Animal Crossing series, Ken Masters from the Street Fighter series, and Incineroar from Pokémon Sun and Moon. When starting the game, players only have access to the eight starter characters of the original N64 game, and unlock the rest by completing various challenges.
