AmongUsBase
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is less a fighting game and more a snow globe of gaming’s collective memory—shake it once and a hundred worlds collide inside the same glass dome. I have spent hundreds of hours in that dome since 2018, and even now in 2026, with the final DLC fighter long since revealed, I still find myself poking through the Mii Fighter menu like a stagehand in a prop room. The Mii Fighter wardrobe feels like a backstage closet where masks let beloved characters slip into the spotlight for one more bow. Nintendo has already welcomed indie icons such as Shantae, Cuphead, and Undertale’s Sans through spirits, music, and Mii costumes, and outfits for Dragonborn, Lloyd Irving, and Dante proved how flexible that closet can be. Still, my wishlist of indie Mii fighters has only grown.
Zagreus — Hades
Hades captured an almost alarming amount of my free time when it arrived in 2020, and Zagreus remains one of the most natural Smash candidates I can imagine. Even the game’s creative director reportedly wanted him in Smash. Zagreus would not need to be forced into a single Mii class, because his arsenal is already a buffet. A Stygian Blade version could fit Mii Swordfighter, Coronacht could turn him into a Mii Gunner, and the Twin Fists of Malphon would make a vicious Brawler. The music of Supergiant Games, especially now that Hades II has entered early access and expanded that sound, would slide into Ultimate’s tracklist like a hot knife through butter. A Zagreus Mii costume would be watching a cover band play a song I love—different enough to feel new, familiar enough to sting.
Among Us Crewmate or Imposter
Among Us may have exploded through Twitch years ago, but its paranoid heart still beats on Nintendo Switch. A Mii Brawler costume built around the Imposter’s lunging attacks could be a perfect fit, with the Crewmate’s expressionless visor working as a blank mask. I can easily picture a victory screen where an Imposter Mii stands calmly next to a defeated fighter, as if the real sabotage happened somewhere else entirely. Even a simple Crewmate helmet would be a fun nod to the indie social deduction phenomenon.
The Knight — Hollow Knight
Hollow Knight’s silent protagonist already moves like a Mii Swordfighter who has been stripped down to pure intent. The Knight could slip into Ultimate’s costume system without much friction, and the inclusion would only deepen my longing for Hollow Knight: Silksong, which still feels like a lantern swinging in a dark cave somewhere ahead. Team Cherry’s series has sold millions and influenced an entire wave of indie action-platformers, so its absence from the Mii wardrobe remains conspicuous. A plain but elegant Knight outfit, perhaps with the iconic mask and nail, would be a small but satisfying concession.
Shovel Knight
Shovel Knight already appears as an Assist Trophy and a spirit in Ultimate, so his absence as a Mii costume feels like a book left open on the wrong page. Yacht Club Games’ hero has a design that would translate beautifully into costume pieces: the horned helmet, the blue tunic, and the iconic shovel blade. The Shovel Knight series also carries some of the best chiptune-adjacent music in modern indie games, and a couple of new tracks would be a treasure chest waiting to be opened. Even if he never becomes a full fighter, a Mii Swordfighter costume would let me pretend, for a few minutes at a time, that the shovel is exactly as mighty as the sword.
Ori
Ori and the Blind Forest and its sequel are not just platformers; they are luminous little fables about belonging and loss. Ori’s floaty movement and spirit-based attacks would make a deluxe Mii Gunner costume feel less like a simple accessory and more like a full transformation, similar to how some premium Mii costumes have completely replaced a fighter’s silhouette. The Moon Studios soundtracks would also bring a gentle, orchestral ache to Ultimate’s otherwise adrenaline-heavy playlist. In my mind, Ori’s inclusion would be like opening a window in a crowded room—suddenly the same space feels airier and more tender.
A Few More Ideas Worth Mentioning
If Nintendo ever decided to keep the Mii Fighter shop open, I would also love to see Madeline from Celeste as a Mii Brawler, the Drifter from Hyper Light Drifter as a Mii Swordfighter, and even a Goose from Untitled Goose Game as a joke-yet-somehow-perfect Brawler. Ultimate already functions as a museum, and museums are never truly finished; they just wait for the right artifacts to arrive.
Final Thoughts
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will probably never stop being the game I compare every other crossover fighter against. Even in 2026, with the full roster sealed and the competitive scene still thriving, the Mii Fighter system remains a quiet invitation to imagine what else could have been. The indie scene has given me some of my favorite gaming memories of the last decade, and each costume idea above is a little postcard from a world that deserves one more moment in the spotlight. I may never get these Mii fighters, but the wishing itself is part of the fun.
