Nintendo is giving Super Smash Bros. Ultimate players a particular reason to pay attention to this week’s Spirit Board event. At 10 AM and 10 PM PT, the Golden Dash Mushroom will be appearing. This will be an Ace class spirit.

It looks like you’ll need to defeat the Mii Brawler in order to obtain the Golden Dash Mushroom. The task won’t be an easy one as it has super armor, will be hard to launch or make flinch, is very fast (but can’t stop quickly), and has increased attack power.
