The first Super Smash Bros Ultimate patch is out alongside the game today, and its biggest feature is adding a new hard difficulty setting to its Adventure Mode (World of Light).

Some replay data will not be available once you download and install the Super Smash Bros Ultimate patch so if you want to save whatever has been saved you will have to convert them in the Vault by choosing “Convert to Video” before updating your copy of the game. World of Light is the Adventure mode, the single player section of Super Smash Bros Ultimate that was introduced with the wild trailer that killed everyone except Kirby. A Mii Fighter costume from Xenoblade Chronicles 2‘s Rex has been added and players can now receive presents from others.
