Features like Spirits Mode make Ultimate into what may be the most indulgent thing that the endlessly indulgent franchise has ever given us, embracing and stretching the absurdity to the endless reaches of gaming fandom. There are 74 playable characters, a bizarre mix that pits Kirby against Castlevania’s Simon Belmont, among others there are hundreds of other faces that appear, which means that Otakon from Metal Gear Solid gets to appear right next to the paper cut-outs from Snipperclips.
Ultimate looks to be the quintessential form of the series’ inherently fan service-y heart. With four games behind it, Super Smash Bros. Nintendo has given us a ludicrous crossover that only players would dare dream up, and it’s made something amazing out of it. has given birth to so much fan fiction: It’s a work of fan fiction in itself, jettisoning the canon of each fighter’s franchise so that they can square off against characters they have no business being near.
