Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Every Confirmed Character (And How They've Changed)

36. Diddy Kong

Diddy Kong SSBU
Nintendo

He's back again, and about time too, and this time he's in the mood. He can fly real high with his jetpack on, with his pistols out, he's one tough Kong! And a dreadful character.

37. Lucas

Lucas SSBU
Nintendo

Nintendo still haven't localised Mother 3, but that hasn't stopped Lucas reappearing. His friends Kumatora and Boney aid in his Final Smash, but you probably don't know who they are. Localise Mother 3, you rotters!

38. Sonic

Sonic SSBU
Nintendo

Sadly, SEGA's spiny speedster still looks decidedly Sonic '06 in Smash Ultimate. God willing, there'll be some Sonic Mania-themed content to go with him this time around.

39. King Dedede

King Dedede SSBU
Nintendo

Penguins come in three forms: cute but hapless, chocolate bar salespeople, and evil kings. King Dedede falls in the latter category. In addition to a cage-match themed Final Smash, the Dream Land ruffian can now inhale and spit Gordos at opponents. Yuck.

40. Olimar

Olimar SSBU
Nintendo

The Hocotate homewrecker's helmet now begins to crack open as he takes damage. Good. Serves him right.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
