On it’s very first teaser on the June 30th, 2024 Nintendo Direct, it showcased Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandana Waddle Dee fighting together for 20 seconds. Afterwards, they look into the sky and see the Smash Bros. Symbol, with zoom ins on Mario and Link, who still retains his design from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This also confirmed Bandana Waddle Dee’s inclusion into the game. On it’s reveal, it was also showcasing Darkrai as Mewtwo’s Echo Fighter, before ultimately revealing Kamek at the end. On the first Super Smash Bros. Legends Direct on May 3rd, 2025, it started with the reveal trailer for the Hylian Champions (Mipha, Daruk, Revali, Urbosa), which involves them saving Link and Zelda (who now has a design from a Link Between Worlds) from a fierce battle with Ganondorf (who retains his design from Ocarina of Time). It also revealed most of the returning modes from past games, then revealing Scream Tail and Dry Bowser as the Echo Fighters for Jigglypuff and Bowser respectively. and then, they go on to reveal Raiden and Senator Armstrong from the Metal Gear Rising: Revengance game. On it’s second direct on July 7th, 2025, it starts out with a reveal trailer for Magolor, where he protects the other four Kirby characters from an intense clash with Kazuya (who was also confirmed by the trailer), before he starts losing the upper hand, then Gooey is revealed as he barely saves Magolor from a Devil Beam from Kazuya. After Magolor and Gooey’s reveal trailer, Sakurai goes on to reveal some of the returning characters (Sephiroth, Little Mac, Bowser Jr. Pokémon Trainer, Ken, Robin, and Mr. Game and Watch). Afterwards, there is then a showcase trailer for Lord Fredrik, who is King K. Rool’s Echo Fighter. The direct ultimately ends with the reveal trailer for Peppino Spaghetti from Pizza Tower.
