In this collaboration, in the form of paid downloadable content, has Spyro the Dragon as a playable fighter along with his stage, it also includes numerous characters and items as spirits, music from the series, and cameos.
==Franchise Overview==
Spyro the Dragon is a platforming franchise created by Insomniac Games and originally owned by Universal Interactive before being aquired by Activision. The first game in the series was released on the Playstation 1 in 1998 following the company's first game Distruptor two years earlier. It takes place on a medieval-like fantasy world where dragons live in a place called the Dragon Realms, Spyro, the small purple dragon, has to rescue the fellow dragons, who are turned into crystals by the evil Gnasty Gnorc that are scattered all over the world. Following the success the of the first game, a sequel was made a year later, called Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage (Gateway to Glimmer in Europe), which continues the adventures of the purple dragon, who now has to go to all worlds to get the orbs so he can relax in the Dragon Shores, all while stopping Ripto and his minions. The final game made by the original developer was Year of the Dragon in 2000, this time, Spyro has to not only rescue all the stolen dragon eggs ordered by the Sorceress, but also the companions held captive by her. After the third game, the franchise saw numerous sequels, most of them met with negative reviews, with Enter the Dragonfly considered to be the worst entry by many people. It was eventually rebooted with The Legend of Spyro in 2006, taking the franchise to a darker, more Lord of the Rings-style tone involving the purple dragon being the chosen one to stop Malefor and his plan to engulf the world with darkness, while accompanied by his adopted brother Sparx, and later Cynder in his adventures. After the series' conclusion, the Skylanders franchise was created in 2011, which became a major hit that spawned sequels, merchandise, comics, and a TV show on Netflix, before the developer Toys for Bob made a remaster of three original games in the form of the Reignited Trilogy in 2018.
The series is known for its 3D platforming, collectable items (notably gems), fun gameplay, challenging minigames, and so on. It is often comparable to its rival Crash Bandicoot in some ways, to the point that they had a crossover for the Game Boy Advance in 2004.

Spyro is the main protagonist of the series. He is courageous, headstrong, eager, and arrogant with a sense of heroism and friendliness with other creatures. In his first adventure, he was mischievous, bratty, and somewhat of an upstart, but still wants to defeat Gnasty Gnorc, but as his next adventures goes on, he became less cocky and more friendly to others. He is also accompanied by his best friend dragonfly Sparx, who helps him collecting the gems and others.
==Gameplay==
Spyro is a playable fighter added into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, based on his appearance from the Reignited Trilogy, labelled as Fighter ??? of the Third Party DLC Pack.
Spyro is a little faster on his attacks, which he can rack up alot of damage on his combos. He is one the fighters with a third mid-air jump. While he is smaller than Charizard, he runs much faster than him, somewhere between Mewtwo and Greninja.
== Moveset ==
===Fighter Abilities===
*Sparx - Like in the games, if Spyro gets hit, Sparx will change color, which was reflected in Ultimate, as getting damage leaves less knockback and more defense. He will start at yellow, then blue, then green, and in the last hit he dissapears, reducing Spyro's defense and raises knockback hit by the opponent. The only way to get him back is by using his Down Taunt, which is explained down below.

==Stage: Artisans==
The stage is based on the realm from the original game. The area is a one single platform, with basic Gnorcs appearing background characters, and they can be interacted with the fighter. When using a fire attack, the Gnorcs will simply run away. Other characters like Nestor, Sgt. Byrd, and Elora will appear cheering the player. A few seconds passed an a portal will take the platform to another realm, which it can be either Stone Hill, Glimmer, or Sunny Villa, with the background characters changed during the match. For Stone Hill, it will have the Egg Thief, Delbin, Bubba, and Gavin. Glimmer will have an Indigo Lizard, the Professor, a Gemcutter and Zoe. And Sunny Villa will have a Soldier Rhynoc, Mayor Leo, Bentley, and Greta. However, the portal will always take you at random.
