Donkey KongĪs he should be, DK is just hanging out in the forest. Again, you’ll need Hal Emmerich to open the doors. Mega Man is right outside of the military base portal that Snake is in. Hal is in the large city, right next to Inkling’s fighter. To even get to the military base, you will need a spirit of Hal Emmerich to get you in. Snake is deep inside of a military base! You have to enter a portal and interact with some computers to get to him. You can purchase Kamek from the shop, if you’re lucky. Lip is found above the DK Island portal and Kammy Koopa is on the mountain path directly above the mushroom area. Olimar is sitting in the bottom right part of the mushroom area, but you will need a Kamek, Lip or Kammy Koopa spirit to get to him. No need for any spirits or special things to unlock him. Pac-Man is just sitting and chillin’ in the northwest region of the mushroom area. You can find him to the northeast of the airport, near where Pikachu’s fighter is sitting around a waterfall. You will need the Kapp’n spirit to cross the water to get to the portal. Head north and you’ll find a portal to the World Tour area. Keep going south and toward the west, and you’ll hit a body of water. Heading south immediately after getting Marth, you should encounter a mushroom area. Sora Ltd., Bandai Namco Studios/Nintendo via Polygon Ryu We recommend picking the fighter that may have your favorites along their path. You’ll be able to get them all as you finish exploring the map. The route you take not only impacts which of these fighters you’ll get first, but also which fighters you’ll be able to unlock soon after. You will be given a choice to unlock one of the three: Marth, Sheik or Villager. Right past him, you’ll be forced to make a decision. Immediately after starting, you’ll run into Mario. But where are they? Which way do you go? Why are they blocked off by a rock or a running stream? In this guide, we’ve compiled the characters and created maps of their locations, so you can find them. That all being said, sometimes you just want to hurry up and unlock your favorite character. (And unlocking them in World of Light unlocks them in the rest of Smash Ultimate, if you haven’t gotten them already.) They’re the same as approaching the fighter in the “Challenger approaching!” method - you just have to kill them once to get them. The fights against the playable fighters are straightforward and don’t have any special rules. However, the game will only start you off with Kirby unlocked, which means you’ll have to seek out any other characters you want to play as and beat them to unlock each.
You’ll run around on a map and play special fights with specific rulesets to emulate fighting against a character who isn’t quite playable in the game. Ultimate’s story mode, World of Light, is simple.
It was NOVEMBER 29th - DECEMBER Smash Bros. I can only accept screenshots taken **immediately** after the unlock occurred, as things like Stark Tech and Red Stars can change the power values even if you have not touched the characters since the unlock.ĮDIT: I put the wrong months for Magneto's Event Premiere.
