Smash Ultimate Banjo-Kazooie: List of Spirits

There are so many fun activities in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate that even just trying them out will take quite a lot of time. What to say about achieving every goal in this amazing game and reaching the level of mastery with the character of your choice?

One of such activities is collecting spirits. They have replaced trophies in the previous Super Smash. Bros games. Do you like this feature? Let’s take a look at the spirits from the world of Banjo & Kazooie!

Spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Probably, the biggest promise of this game has been made with the slogan “Everyone is here!” And the developers kept their promise and added all the fighters from the earlier games (such as Captain Falcon) and a lot of new characters (such as Joker). 

Is the community satisfied with this? Not really! People want “everyone from everywhere”, asking to add lots of other personalities from every imaginable gaming franchise. This is absolutely impossible, but Mr. Sakurai with the development team came up with a brilliant idea - they expanded the variety of game characters by adding their spirits (and Mii fighters).

Of course, it’s not the same as having those guys and girls actually competing in the multiplayer matches. Still, it’s a great solution, and you can see many familiar faces.

How to use spirits in SSBU?

They give some advantages during fights Adventure Mode (World of Light) or Versus mode with enabled spirits. All the spirits are divided into four types:

• Attack
• Shield
• Grab
• Neutral

They have the rock-paper-scissors type of interactions.

Also, spirits have classes - from one to four stars. The higher class means the bigger strength of the spirit.

How to obtain Super Smash Bros. Ultimate spirits?

After the update 8.0.0, the game has 1424 spirits, and this number will definitely be increased.

The primary way to collect spirit is to complete story missions of the World of Light mode. Also, you can get them in the Spirit Board and from special events.
