The Spirits of Super Mario Bros Wonder and Princess Peach Showtime take to the stage for a truly “Ultimate” grand finale on Smash
You didn't read it wrong: on the occasion of today's launch of Princess Peach Showtimethe latter and Super Mario Bros Wonder they bring two Spirits each in the colossal “sticker album” of Smash Ultimate. The last time we talked about Masahiro Sakurai's magnum opus we dedicated ourselves to the Pokémon of Paldea, but apparently they are not the ones who bring the curtain down. In fact, this honor goes to the Wonder Flower, the Talking Flower and the elephantine form of the mustache from his latest spectacular adventure, as well as Swordswoman Peach and her basic form complete with Star from the latest addition to the Big N. We will go in order of difficulty, because each of the four classes will have a Spirit to face. Starting from…

Let's start from the Spirit of Beginner class: We'll be returning to Princess Peach Showtime shortly, but for now we'll see how Smash Ultimate has adapted the Wonder flower and the Talking flower from Super Mario Bros Wonder. There are twenty-one little Kirbys to beat up: to be precise, one blue and twenty yellow. As you can imagine, the latter will limit themselves to provocations, leaving you to deal with the blue one, the only one you really have to defeat to win. The Skull Kid from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask will be the adversary assistant who will put a spoke in your wheels in the Mushroom Kingdom U, but not much more. We don't even know if there are others: we won first!

It goes to Peach spadaccina, which surprisingly won't star a sword-wielding Peach. In fact, she will be a very normal Lucina who will oppose you, on the roof of Hyrule Castle, in an Energy mode encounter. There's not much else to report, beyond the fact that swords will be the only tool to make an appearance. You have two options: one is the defensive game, if you have characters with ranged attacks. The other is aggressive swordplay, which is also the fighting style Lucina took from Marth. Not that you need to worry: he is a more than manageable opponent, given that he is a Rising Star. The Ace, on the other hand, is…
Elephant Mario | Super Smash Bros Ultimate: Spirits from Princess Peach Showtime and Mario Wonder
In this case yes, the plumber himself will interpret Elephant Mario. The battle will be with a giant Mario at the Fountain of Dreams, where the Super Armor that distinguished the Kirbys in the first battle will prove to be a much more difficult problem (Asso). This is where overwhelming your opponent with Akuma Spirit will start to prove a winning strategy. In line with the original game, Mario will give priority to the Splac 3000 (↓+B) to fill you with water, but don't be fooled: at the first opportunity, you will get a Smash attack in face. Avoid beatings on the snout and, if you have characters like Sora who allow you, risk an aggressive game even outside the arena from time to time.

Closing the ball is the Legend on duty. We understand very well that this time the princess “is not here to be saved”, but Peach e Stella they could have gone slower! You will see the monarch in pink accompanied by a small yellow Kirby, but unlike the first battle we talked about you will have to defeat them both at Louis' Palace. As if that wasn't enough, he Assistants they will come to put a spoke in your wheels, appearing in order: they will come first Lyn from Fire Emblem with a difficult blow to dodge (Swordswoman Peach), then it will be the turn of the Cook Kawasaki from Kirby who will try to put you in the pan (Peach Custard) and will finally arrive Akira da Virtua Fighter per malmenarvi (Peach kung fu). Beware of the latter: will be a thorn in your side even after defeating one of the two characters.
And now?
Featuring Spirits from Princess Peach Showtime and Super Mario Bros Wonder, Smash Ultimate's count it closes at 1528. And we say “it closes” because, from what we have understood from the Japanese account of the game, these will be the latest unpublished content to be added. The event will be held until eight in the morning Monday 25 March, but in case you miss some Spirits along the way, nothing stops you from checking after a couple of months to see if the Spirits have been included in the regular rotation. As far as we're concerned, though, our coverage of extra content it ends here. Thanks for following us all this time!
