Mega Man and the Wily Castle return from the previous games, with Proto Man and Bass being included in Mega Man's Final Smash.

Proto Man and Zero also appear as DLC costumes for the Mii Fighters.[3]
Characters

All characters from previous Super Smash Bros. games return, in addition of new characters.

As of November 1, 2018 11 new characters were confirmed, 6 regular characters and 5 Echo Fighters[1][5][2]
