The Nintendo Switch game has an incredibly active modding community that continually expands its boundaries.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a game that combines 2D fighting with stunning 3D graphics. Certain stages even incorporate platforming elements, altering the objective of winning to knocking opponents off the stage rather than depleting their health. Unlike other 2D fighting games like Street Fighter, which impose limitations on movement and attacks, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate allows players to freely attack, move, and jump in a 2D plane. Despite this 2D gameplay, the game features detailed 3D graphics, with numerous small intricacies found in the background and foreground. With the introduction of this new mod, fighters can now break into the Z-axis, resulting in a visually captivating 3D fighting game experience.
This mod, known as "3D Smash Ultimate," was developed by C# or CSharp, a prolific modder of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Among their previous creations is the addition of Castlevania's Alucard to the Ultimate roster. They initially shared a preview video showcasing the mod's functionality, featuring Ridley maneuvering in a three-dimensional fashion to evade Min-Min's attacks. As stated on the mod's GameBanana page, this implementation of 3D movement is simulated, which entails several limitations and challenges. Nonetheless, it offers a visually impressive overhaul of the game.
The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate mod offers unique opportunities for capturing screenshots with its enhanced character movements. Now, players can walk into the foreground or background, as well as rotate to specific directions. Additionally, the latest update introduces new moves like dash attacks and slides, enabling characters to move on the Z-axis. For a comprehensive list of restrictions and peculiarities, refer to the mod's GameBanana page.
Modders have praised CSharp for this particular change in the mod, as it significantly alters the gameplay experience, even in its early stage. The simulated 3D movement has been compared to Tekken's gameplay, although it is less complex than Bandai Namco's fighter. Modders have taken advantage of this mod to capture screenshots that were previously impossible in the original game.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is available exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
