Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is really getting to the points with its next Spirit Board event—Horns! Horns for Days!
No, they’re not talking about musical characters, although that is a theme we have yet to see during these events. The June 19 Horns for Days! event will showcase a variety of characters with one common feature: extra keratin coming out of their heads and faces.
These Spirit Board events are a weekly challenge for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate players to test their skills against spirits of Legend or Ace class. Players get infinite chances to take on these themed spirits during the challenge, and defeating the spirits will gain players rewards. Sometimes these spirits will appear at random, while other have scheduled appearance times. A few events of the past include The Right Staff, for spirits equipped with staffs, and Beware of Spike, which was similar to Horns for Days! as it focused on spiky beings.
Some of the fixed appearance characters to appear include Black Shadow, from Captain Falcon’s home game F-Zero, Dry Bones, from the world of Super Mario Bros., and Rambi from Donkey Kong Country. All of these characters will also appear randomly throughout the three-day event but can be found at specific times for those who like certainty. This event includes 24 different spirits, with a large number of Pokémon. Cobalion, Terrrakion, and Virizion will be appearing with the scheduled characters as a unit and are the only spirit from the Pokémon franchise to be making a periodic appearance. Other creatures from the wonderful world of Pokémon will be making their way to this event from across all of the generations. Dragonite, Heracross, Hoopa, and Goldeen are among the handful of Pokémon around for battling. The special rewards for defeating these spirits will be extra snacks, because why not?
These fun themed events are a great way to keep occupied during slow weekends and a chance to face off against some fan favorites from throughout video game history. Horns! Horns for Days! will begin on June 19 and will last the weekend, ending on June 22.
