It has every fighter that has ever appeared in a Smash game, as well as some brand new fighters.

In this Super Smash Bros Ultimate Jigglypuff Character Guide, we’ll take a look at the sleep-inducing pink pokemon Jigglypuff, including the Jigglypuff moveset, variant outfits, and final smash attack.

How to Unlock Jigglypuff in Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Unlike previous Smash games, fighters are unlocked in the same way for all, rather than character-specific challenges. This means that while it can be a bit of a grind, all you need to do is play the game naturally and you’ll eventually unlock all of the characters in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. We’ve listed the three ways you can unlock characters in Super Smash Bros Ultimate below:
- Playing the World of Light single-player mode.
- Completing Classic Mode with a character.
- Playing the ‘Challenger Approaches’ fights that appear regularly, you will need to win them.
The fastest method involves triggering the Challenger Fights by reloading the game regularly. We’ve listed the method below:
- Quit to the home screen and Restart the game.
- Create a match with a custom rule set.
- Make sure the match is 1 minute long, or 1 stock if you'd prefer.
- After finishing the match (you can win or lose) you will offered a new Challenger Fight.
- You'll need to win the Challenger fight
- Repeat.

Jigglypuff Changes in Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Jigglypuff has mostly received minor changes for the new Smash Bros game. Mostly it’s just tweaks to animation, and some damage balancing. We’ve listed all of the changes below. Here’s all of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Jigglypuff changes:
- Faster Side Taunt
- Slow-motion effect applied to Rest move
- Jigglypuff now only rolls once during Rollout, making it faster to execute
- Up aerial attack has less lag on landing
Jigglypuff Alternate Costumes in Super Smash Bros Ultimate

There have been no official reveals for Jigglypuff’s alternate costumes just yet, but many of the characters revealed so far have simply continued using the same variants they did in the last game. If anything substantial gets announced, we’ll be sure to update this guide, but for now, it’s safe to assume it’ll use the same selection of hats and bows that it did in SSB4.

Jigglypuff Final Smash in Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Jigglypuff is still using the Puff Up Final Smash. Its animation has changed slightly however, which you can check out in the video embedded above. Jigglypuff blows itself up to a huge size, then pops like a balloon, with a brand new animation as it deflates and sinks.
That’s all the info we have on Jigglypuff in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. We’ll be adding more info as we get it, so keep checking back for more updates. In the meantime, you can learn more about Super Smash Bros Ultimate by visiting our Super Smash Bros Ultimate Guides Hub. It’s got info on the new Ridley amiibo, modes, and more.
