Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s next DLC character could be a fan favorite, or at least that’s what some somewhat compelling fan theory suggests. If you ask for one Super Smash Bros. Ultimate player on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite whichever character they want to see added to the platform chaser next, chances are you’ll hear names like Sora, Geno, Waluigi, Lloyd, Master Chief, Doomguy, Jonesy and Crash Bandicoot, who, except perhaps Sora, the most requested DLC character. That said, according to a new theory, the former PlayStation icon is coming to the game next.
The theory begins with the announcement that Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s about time is coming to Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite – and other platforms – next month on March 12. From here the theory merges with the long-running “Amiibo Theory”, an established one Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC theory.
According to Amiibo theory, the next fighter will be released at this point in late March, as the next batch of amiibo is scheduled for the end of the month. In other words, the Amiibo theory and the release of Crash 4 on Switch and Switch Lite seems to line up too nicely, at least for some Nintendo fans.
But the theory doesn’t stop there. It also digs up an old Activision leak, which took note of plans to revive Crash Bandicoot. And the cap on this was to be brought Crash to Super Smash Bros. UltimateMaking this part even more interesting is a new report that claims Activision can be done with the franchise for a while. Again, the timing of this, the Activision leak and all of the above is certainly interesting.

All that said, right now this is just a theory. Furthermore, while it is a compelling case, there are many others Super Smash Bros. Ultimate theories over the years, almost all of which did not materialize. In other words, take everything here with a grain of salt.
