Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Bonus Character Unlock Order | The Complete List

December 7, 2018 by Kevin Thielenhaus

The unlock order for all 68 non-starter characters isn’t actually random in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Here’s when you’ll be able to get your favorites.

If you’re looking to unlock your favorite character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it was assumed that the challenges would appear at total random. That actually isn’t the case — characters unlock in a specific order, if you’re playing regular Smash versus matches, or fighting through Classic Mode. They appear in the same order every time, and I can confirm it.

Everyone has a favorite character, and even if you’re planning on unlocking every single character in the game — like I totally am — it is nice knowing when you’ll be able to pick-up your old main and continue the smashing without holding anything back. There are a grand total of sixty-eight (68!) unlockable characters, making this a truly insane roster of characters from tons of different franchises. Find out when you’ll get old favorites like Captain Falcon, or new fighters like King K. Rool. Check out the full roster below.

Bonus haracter Unlock Order | The Complete List

Characters can be unlocked in the following order — these characters will appear as “A New Challenger Approaches!” matches after completing Smash matches or Classic Mode.

They will always appear in this order. If you lose a match, you’ll fight the next character on the last. You can fight the lost fighter in a rematch in “Games & More” –> “Challenger’s Approach”.
