===Fighter: Adeleine and Ribbon.===
===Reveal Trailer: Artistic.===
"Kirby is relaxing beside a tree with Meta Knight and Daisy. The pink puffball looks hungrily at an apple Daisy is about to eat, then inhales it. She isn't too pleased about this and slaps Kirby. Another apple rolls to the princess's feet, and she picks it up as if to inspect it."
"Suddenly Meta Knight stirs, noticing something in the ferns beyond. He then goes to inspect it, with the other two just staring at him, confused. Meta Knight suddenly barrels out of the ferns, dizzy and slightly coated in paint..."
"Kirby then glares at the ferns as a girl in a green smock comes out of it, holding an invitation in her right hand. Kirby and Meta Knight almost instantly recognize her and wave, while Daisy just stares, confused. The camera then turns to Adeleine, now in full view. Ribbon pops out from behind her, and the two waves at them (and the camera)."
-"Insert Adeleine and Ribbon's splash text here."-
Nintendo Employee: (Over Adeleine and Ribbon brief showcase) "Super Smash Bros Ultimate welcomes the series' fourth rep for the Kirby series: Adeleine and Ribbon, a faithful duo from the old days of the N64. These two friends of Kirby have been highly requested for the Smash ring, and today that dream becomes reality."
"Right off the bat, any fans of this duo should know that Adeleine is still carrying her burden of low durability, even into the ring. In fact, here she takes 2x more than any other fighter! This can make her gameplay a tad annoying, especially in stamina battles, where she needs to be extra careful."
"However, it's not all sad news for the duo, as they have some crazy new movesets. Adeleine can still paint things to help her get an edge on her opponents, and use her brush as an effective weapon. Ribbon meanwhile can control crystal pieces in varying ways to deal some real quick hits. But to put the cherry on top of this strawberry shortcake, the duo use abilities from their home game! Adeleine can freeze opponents with Melting Ice Cube, torch them with Match, or pull off one of the game's best recoveries with Fireworks! She also has some Star Allies gameplay mixed in as well."
"Adeleine has also taken some new fashion advice from some of her friends. Two of her alts are based on other female friends (God that sounds wrong) of Kirby. One alt resembles Haltmann Work's own Susie, and the other turns her into the Fairy Queen from Ripple Star. On top of that, she also has a clothes change resembling Ado from Dream Land 3."
"Adeleine and Ribbon join the battle on ??/??/??!"
-"Super Smash Bros Ultimate X Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards poster."-
"Adeleine and Ribbon sit alongside Kirby, Daisy and Meta Knight, snacking on fruit watching the sunset."
===Fighter Splash Text: Adeleine and Ribbon Collect their Courage!===
Adeleine and Ribbon are two friends of Kirby that were introduced in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. In their debut game, Ribbon's homeworld of Ripple Star was under attack from Dark Matter, likely after the crystal the planet's ruler kept safe. Ribbon fled from the dark-devoured planet with the crystal but was followed by three small Dark Matter orbs. These attacked her, causing her to fall on to Planet Popstar and the crystal to break into several pieces across several planets. Shortly after landing the fairy meets Kirby and asks him for help to free Ripple Star and collect the shards to remake (or fix) the crystal, to which the pink puffball accepts.
Along the way, the duo makes three allies to assist in their quest (after having to fight them after Dark Matter possessed them when they found a crystal piece). One of these is Adeleine, an human(?) artist who's special power is painting objects which then come to life, after which Adeleine can control (or eat) them. Adeleine is the second victim of Dark Matter's mind control, but she turned out a poor choice for it due to her (and her creations) relatively low HP. After a long adventure, Kirby and Co. defeat Dark Matter and it's high command and are praised as heroes.
In Smash, Adeleine and Ribbon are a lightweight character, about as heavy as Fox. Their trademark gimmick is that the duo takes double the damage as most fighters, and are easier to K.O or just knock around. Aside from that, the characters boast fast, strong attacks, excellent recovery, and decent speed. Most of their moves do knock other fighters pretty far though, so they can't really combo all that well.
Adeleine and Ribbon can wall jump and have three jumps.
===Moveset.===
The duo's moveset is based around either their abilities in both their Crystal Shards and Star Allies versions or around general aspects of their debut game.
Move. 	Description.
Jab. 	A three-hit jab. Adeleine swings her paintbrush in front of her horizontally twice, then vertically for the last hit. Deals around 10% of damage.
Dash attack. 	Adeleine does a slide kick. Low hitting, decent at killing, but has some endlag.
Forward Tilt. 	Adeleine swings her brush in a diagonal line in front of her. Deals 5%.
Down Tilt. 	Adeleine swings her brush behind her on the ground. Deals 2% and can trip opponents.
Up Tilt. 	Adeleine uses the Melting Ice Cube ability from Kirby 64. Adeleine freezes herself, then quickly thaws. The move hits when she's frozen. The move juggles fine but can freeze fighters at high percents.
Forward Smash. 	Ribbon charges out from behind Adeleine and swings a crystal piece in front of her before flying back. The distance she travels and how hard she hits can be charged for 7 seconds.
Down Smash. 	Adeleine crouches on the floor and does a sweeping kick. The move's damage can be changed by charging it for up to 8 seconds. Can hit ledges, trip opponents and can weakly spike airborne foes.
Up Smash. 	Adeleine crouches down while Ribbon makes a crystal piece fly over them in an arc. Can be charged for 8 seconds.
Grab/Pummel. 	Ribbon grabs the opponent by the shoulders. Adeleine pummels the grabbed fighter by punching them in the stomach.
Forward Throw. 	Ribbon spins three times, then throws the fighter.
Back Throw. 	Adeleine swings her brush into the side of the grabbed fighter, launching them backwards.
Up Throw. 	Ribbon carries the fighter up slightly, then drops them. Adeleine then dropkicks the falling opponent, launching them upwards.
Down Throw. 	Adeleine directs Ribbon to put the fighter on the ground, afterwards the artist plants her easel on her opponent, burying them.
Neutral Air. 	Adeleine and Ribbon preform the Fairy Dance move from Kirby Star Allies. The move hits on the Y-axis.
Forward Air. 	Adeleine uses the Crystal Gun to shoot a crystal shard. She can have two shards on screen at a time. The move deals tiny damage and makes grounded opponents flinch. Her worst aireal, and possibly the worst in the game.
Up Air. 	Adeleine uses the Match ability from Kirby 64. Adeleine briefly lights her head on fire. The move launches hit opponents upwards, deals fire damage, and the fire lasts for a bit after landing. The move automatically ends after using Up Tilt, otherwise lasts for 12 seconds or contact is made with ice or water.
Down Air. 	Adeleine stomps downwards with both feet. The move hits hard, meteor smashes and can kill even on the ground. Also destroys shields.
Back Air. 	Adeleine simply swings her brush behind her.
Neutral Special: Art. 	Adeleine pulls out her canvas and paints any random item in the game. Powerful items, like Smash Balls or Assist Trophies, are extremely rare. The canvas can also damage opponents. However, whatever item Adeleine makes can also be used by her enemies. She's more likely to paint food items or Bombers.
Side Special: Brush Force.	Adeleine swings her brush forwards as long as the player keeps using it. While using it, she can't be grabbed or grounded from in front. The move rapid hits and can be used to suicide. However, Adeleine is unable to jump or turn around while using the move, and she's vulnerable from behind.
Up Special: Fireworks. 	Adeleine uses the Fireworks ability from Kirby 64. She puts herself in the middle of a large firework explosion, launching her very high upwards. The move deals tons of damage (30%) and meteor smashes opponents that are under her. However, the move does have start lag, put Adeleine into freefall, and damages her (11%).
Down Special: Copy. 	Adeleine pulls out her canvas and ducks behind it. Any move that hits it will be turned into an item for Adeleine (and opponents) to use. The move also counts taunts. To use a copied move, do its default input (A for jab, for example).
Final Smash: Friend Star. 	Adeleine hops on the Friend Star from Star Allies, then dashes forwards. Any opponents hit by her will be put into a cinematic in which Adeleine will bombard the opponents with Friend Star projectiles, before then hitting them with a Milky Way attack. Can hit up to four opponents, and deals 90% in damage.

===Stage: Popstar.===
Popstar is a stage in the Kirby series. The stage is an auto scroller with several hazards generated at random. These include Whispy Woods, Shotzos, large hills that need to be jumped over, and Tacs. If Adeleine and Ribbon are not present, the former will sometimes be found painting on her canvas while standing on a large stump, as a reference to Kirby 64's cutscene before you fight her. If she is present, a Waddle Dee will take her place. If stage hazards are disabled, the match is always held next to a large hill, with Adeleine's log always viewable. The map's default theme is Planet Popstar.

==Trivia.==
*Adeleine and Ribbon were considered to paint a giant Ice Dragon as their Final Smash, but that was cut for feeling too plain.
*Jambastoin was considered to be the DLC stage, however, that was a Star Allies location, rather than a Crystal Shards one.
*Adeleine and Ribbon's final alt. was at first considered for a rainbow palate, but that was replaced by the Susie alt.
