Nintendo has released Super Smash Bros Ultimate patch 2.0.0 for the Nintendo Switch which adds Piranha Plant to the game alongside various changes and fighter adjustments.
While the new update allows select players to pick Piranha Plant as fighter, various users are reporting that using the new fighter in All-Star Mode could corrupt your save game. In addition, various other players are reporting that Duck Hunt and/or Mii Swordfighter is also corrupting save data in Century Smash. It is suggested to avoid using those characters in All-Star Mode and Century Smash until Nintendo releases a patch to fix these issues.
