Alright, I have a limited time to write this and, showing how much I have "degraded", I want to make sure I write this so I don't end up forgetting it. I have been having short-term memory loss and I am currently getting evaluated for the reason. It's not.... bad but it's unpleasant. I am thankfully begun seeking help and perhaps why it's happening.
Here are my plans moving on. If I forget them, please kindly inform me about it and I will seek to rectify it. I do apologize for forgetting things so easily.
4-5 Seasons planned
Festival of Fright
- Newcomer

- New Dungeons
- SmashSpace Returning
- Involves purchasing a plot of land in the SmashHub and being able to add in content which includes farming land and even keeping a pet.
Year 3 Festival Plan
Character newcomers will not be affected by the 4 mains festivals but, rather, will be grafted into the Season 3 story.
- Winter Festival (Festival of Frost Retired)
- Spring Festival (Cherry Blossom Festival Retired)
- Newcomer: Company-related
- Summer Festival (Fun Sun Festival Retired)
- Fall Festival (Festival of Fright Retired)
Two additional Festivals will be included that will have a minimal impact on the Season 3 storyline
- First Party Franchise Celebration Festival plus Newcomer
- TBD and will depend on what we have submitted thus far
In addition, we will retroactively how trailers and announcements are planned and it will require some input from you all:
You can view announcements:
Traditionally via Nintendo's Youtube account
Via the SmashHub upon booting on Infinite Beyond
Announcements usually happen a few days to a week prior to the festival happening and indicates the name of the festival and the content that is being included in it with the newcomer announcement happening later. The main area of the Smash Hub can be an area where people gather to "react" to the announcement in realtime. In order to do this, you must not be viewing the announcement via game device.
Now, leading up to the announcement, various Easter Eggs and hints will be placed in the Smash Hub. Some of these will be small and hard to spot while others will be changing the entirery of the Smash Hub.
Not right now but after the Festvial of Fright, we will be managing these "easter eggs". I already did 3 of them for us to show us what I mean. Please note that all characters do not get this "easter egg" reveal but may get a standard reveal per usual. One such example are the Mii Mage and Mii Athelete as well as Toad.
- Shantae's Reveal
- Prior to the Fun Sun Day Festival, a Pirate Ship will be "crashed" into the Training Area of the Hub which various "Option and Settings" modes can be accessed as well as Amiibo features. This place also has a large amount of treasure to be found which makes sense for the Pirate Ship to appear. Players can board the pirate ship between the moment it appears to the end of the festival for various treasure. The ship will arrive unannounced and will herald in Shantae.
- Squid Sisters Reveal
- The Squid Sisters will hold a concert following the reveal of the Year 1 Festival. No characters are revealed during it's announcement and subsequent information drop but, following the reveal, the Squid Sisters will hold an in game concert with tickets needing to be purchased in order to enter said event. Tickets can either be purchased with gold or earned through playing online matches. Squid Sisters will be unveiled at the start of the festival a week alter.
- San's Reveal:
- If players have yet to purchase the San's costume in the Mii Costume vault, it will be listed as free prior to the Undertale-themed Festival and subsequent reveal.
You can expect us to conduct these submissions following the festival of fright but also one more: character codewords. This is something we forget to add with additional content.
