One fan thinks he’s solved the Mystery Mode enigma of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch. In the latest Smash Direct, Sakurai showed the main menu for the game. One of the modes was blurry, which made him believe it has to do with Story Mode.

However, a Twitter user by the name of l’attardé paused the Smash Direct video in Japanese frame by frame until discovering the censured section contains the word “Spirits.”

This has opened up a new possibility: that Story Mode has something to do with ghosts. It may seem a little crazy, but there are two pieces of evidence that fit this theory.
The first is the fact that Death snatched Luigi’s soul in the recent trailer debuting Castlevania’s Simon Belmont.
The second proof is that Mario and Mega Man died at the hands of Ridley in the E3 2018 trailer.
Others are also pointing out that the thrashing King. K. Rool gives Dedede could have killed him.
If this rumor is confirmed, we’ll have the zaniest Story Mode yet for the Smash Bros. saga.
