Super Smash Bros. Ultimate features a whopping 74 playable characters in the base game, with a handful of others coming down the line as DLC. However, players who purchase the title soon after launch will be treated to one additional character for free, and it's a very unexpected one: Piranha Plant.
The potted Mario enemy will be added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a full playable character. It is able spit poison, fire a spiked ball at opponents, and even extend its neck (stem?) to perform a long-range attack. For its Final Smash, Piranha Plant summons Petey Piranha onto the battlefield to attack other players.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai says that Piranha Plant isn't yet finished, but it will be available a few months after launch. In order to receive it for free, you'll need to register Super Smash Bros. Ultimate via your My Nintendo account by January 31, 2019. This will be done automatically if you purchase the game digitally from either the Switch Eshop or Nintendo's website. If you opt for a physical copy, you'll need to press the plus button while on the game's icon in the Switch menu and select the My Nintendo Rewards option.
If you register your copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate before the cutoff date, you'll receive a download code for the character via email. You'll need to redeem this code by 11:59 PM PT on June 30, 2019. Piranha Plant will also be offered as a paid DLC character separate from those included in the Fighter Pass.
