Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
On October 5, 2021, Sora was announced to be the last DLC character releasing for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, set to release on October 18, 2021. He is set to also be releasing alongside his home stage Hollow Bastion. According to Sakurai in Sora's reveal trailer, Sora was the real winner of the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot back in 2015 for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS; though the contest concluded with Bayonetta being added to the game, Sakurai stated that this was because Sora was not considered a realistic option at the time.

Sora is a lightweight character who possesses a unique midair jump; ascending a further distance in a curved trajectory in a similar manner to Ness or Mewtwo. If Sora wins a stamina battle, the screen will zoom in and slowly fade to white - a reference to the victory animation that occurs when defeating a boss in the Kingdom Hearts series.

All of Sora's alternate costumes are based on each of his outfits in the series. While the default one is from the first Kingdom Hearts, the second one is from Kingdom Hearts II, third from Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance and fourth from Kingdom Hearts III. The rest are various forms of him from the games; the fifth, sixth and seventh are the Timeless River form, the Valor Form and Wisdom Form from Kingdom Hearts II respectively, and the seventh and last is the Ultimate Form from Kingdom Hearts III.
