Additionally, the ver. 13.0.1 update introduces support for the Metroid Dread Samus and EMMI Amiibo figures. You can receive their corresponding Spirits by scanning the figures while playing the game. The update has also made several unspecified fixes "to improve gameplay experience." You can read the full patch notes, taken from Nintendo's support website, below.
This balance patch arrives just a few weeks after the game's twelfth and final DLC character, Sora from Kingdom Hearts, who was added alongside the last batch of Mii Fighter costumes in October's 13.0 update. Along with the fighter, a new stage -- Hollow Bastion -- and several music tracks taken from the Kingdom Hearts series were added.
Each of Smash Bros. Ultimate's DLC characters can be purchased individually for $6. Sora is also included in the $30 Fighters Pass Vol. 2 along with five other characters: Min Min from Arms, Steve from Minecraft, Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7, Pyra/Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Kazuya from Tekken.
