Undertale’s Sans Joins the Smash Ultimate Party (Kind of)
Nintendo’s popular fighting game, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, is known for its vast roster of characters from various gaming universes. And now, a surprise addition is about to join the already impressive lineup. Sans, the iconic skeleton from the indie game Undertale, will be making his way onto the Smash Ultimate stage. Well, sort of.
Sans won’t be a playable fighter in the game, unfortunately. However, creator of the character, Toby Fox, has included a Sans costume for the Mii Gunner character. This means that players will be able to dress up their Mii characters as Sans and utilize his unique moveset while battling it out in Smash Ultimate.
The Sans Mii costume comes complete with its own music track, Megalovania, which is another popular element from Undertale. This track will play during battles when the Sans costume is selected. As fans of the game know, Megalovania is a catchy and intense track that perfectly aligns with Sans’ energetic and relentless personality.
This exciting crossover collaboration was announced during the Nintendo Direct livestream, alongside the reveal of several other Mii costumes from different gaming franchises. While some fans may have been hoping for a full-fledged Sans character with his own moveset, the inclusion of the Mii Gunner costume is still a thrilling addition for Undertale enthusiasts.
Sans’ inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate demonstrates the popularity and impact that the indie game has had on the gaming community. Undertale, with its clever storytelling and memorable characters, has amassed a dedicated fanbase since its release in 2015. Toby Fox’s decision to include Sans in Smash Ultimate is a testament to the game’s enduring appeal and recognition within the esports world.
This crossover event serves as a reminder of the ongoing effort to incorporate diverse gaming universes into the Smash Bros. series, providing players with the opportunity to express their love for their favorite characters in exciting and unexpected ways. So, while Sans may not be a fully playable character, players can still enjoy a taste of Undertale’s charm and brilliance in the world of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
