>Working Title is Super Smash Bros. Rivalry
>The visuals look a lot more stylized compared to previous entries, like Mario's more recent games
>Numerous roster cuts, many because of expired contracts, rating issues, or redundance beyond Ultimate's purpose
>A lot of veterans get changes both big and small
>Characters like Donkey Kong and Inkling get design updates based on later appearances
>Some like Samus and even Villager get moveset updates based on their latest games
>Not as many stages as Ult, but a lot more new ones this time
>Trophies are back
>No story mode, but a new mode sort of like Smash Run is introduced
>It's called Final Man Smash, where 50 players are dropped into an expansive stage and have to fight both enemies and each other along the way until there's one player left
>Items and temporary powerups can be used to any player's advantage, and teams of up to four can be assembled
>Teams can be formed locally with other players, online with friends and other players, and in general with CPU
>4 players max can play this mode locally
>They intend to have more newcomers than Ult did in base game, and they showed a handful they had planned
>Pauline is this game's flagship newcomer
>Uses her design from Odyssesy, but she has her abilities from Bananza too
>The dog from Pikmin 4 also joins, with the player character riding its back
>While they use Olimar's pikmin gimmick, they have new pikmin and unique mechanics
>A second Pokemon Trainer joins, with the 9th gen starters playable
>The trainer isn't the player character, but instead the rival
>The crawling robot from Metroid Dread
>Magalor from Kirby
>The player character from Fire Emblem Engage
>The only third party shown was Crash Bandicoot
>He didn't make it into Ult due to complications with Activision back then
>Game planned to release around Q3 of 2026 at earliest
