Since its release,Super Smash Bros. Ultimatehas seen a host of interesting additions, like Joker fromPersona 5, Banjo and Kazooie, and eventhe out of left field Steve fromMinecraft. Not only has this iteration of the mascot brawler seen some highly requested characters join the fray, but the additions are still incoming with at least four more characters coming before the end of Fighters Pass 2. To saySuper Smash Bros. Ultimateis the most ambitious title in the series to date is a fairly undeniable fact.
One of the ways Nintendo has added longevity toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate’s life cycle isthe addition of online tournaments that typically revolve around a certain theme. While there is usually a tournament that hosts the classic rules of a competitive match, Nintendo also makes sure to please their casual fans with some oddball tournament entries and the newest addition is going to be a chaotic mess. The Mushroom Tournament boasts the exclusive inclusion of the game’s mushroom items. These are the Super Mushroom and Poison Mushroom fromSuper Mario Bros.and the Ramblin' Evil Mushroom fromEarthbound.
Players will have to be quick to grab the Super Mushroom’s size boosting bonus while avoiding the shrinking and control swapping nerfs the other mushrooms threaten them with.These legendary gaming power-upswill be sure to add tons of action to the battles.
Super Smash Bros.has been a source of controversy lately, withNintendo’s cancellation of The Big House tournamentafter the tournament’s use of a modded version ofSuper Smash Bros. Melee. Seeing something positive come to the series is a much welcome addition that players can enjoy when the tournament launches this Friday, December 11th.
