If you look closely, you can just barely make out the word “Spirits.”
There’s a lot of theories as to how the new “Spirits” mode might play out with many fans pointing to the recent “death” of Luigi as somehow being connected to it. In a previous Smash trailer, Luigi is seen being slashed by Castlevania’s Death, a grim reaper-esque character, causing his soul to become disconnected from his body. If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s a link to the exact moment when that occurs.
One possible theory is that players will have to rescue the souls of characters that were seemingly killed off during the promotional trailer. In case you’ve missed it, Mario and Megaman were also “murdered” in a previous video.
This makes three characters that could potentially be rescued in an adventure mode of sorts.
