Mementos is a playable arena in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Representing the game Persona 5, it was added to the stage selection in conjunction with the release of Joker as a playable fighter in April 2019, and is available as part of the Challenger Pack 1 downloadable content (DLC) pack. This stage will also be unlocked by purchasing the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass add-on on the Nintendo eShop.
Stage Overview[]
The default stage consists of a larger central platform and two, smaller pass-through platforms hovering on each side. A third platform with a television screen display can also appear on occasion. Additional background elements include scenery based on the Mementos map in Persona 5, and a color motif based on the game's overall visual style. On occasion, various stage hazards can appear to be taken advantage of by the fighters, including emerging walls for containing the fight, and the sudden passing of the underground Shibuya subway car that can damage players significantly if they come into contact with it. The stage also features cameo appearances from other supporting characters in Persona 5, including every permanent member of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts spectating the fight after being dropped off by the Morgana Car. If the player controlling Joker scores a stock during the fight, they will also respond with encouragement. In addition to the standard design of Mementos, its visual appearance can be altered to reflect Persona 3 or Persona 4 depending on if a music track from those respective games is set to accompany the match. The Persona 3 variant of Mementos alters the background to a predominantly blue color scheme and features a Full Moon overlooking the city landscape, while the design of the main platform features a set of Dark Hour clocks on its underside, and the television display platform plays excerpts of Persona 3 Portable's opening movie. The Persona 4 variant of Mementos adorns the main platform with rainbow trail designs and places flowers across the ground, while the television screen platform displays the loading screen graphic of Teddie appearing on a TV set from Persona 4 Golden. Additionally, Joker's victory screen will also be changed to reflect which version of Mementos is staging the match upon its conclusion, and will replace the victory theme with the corresponding one from Persona 3 or Persona 4 depending on the outcome.

Stage origin[]
Mementos is a major recurring location in Persona 5 and its anime adaptation. It is the Palace that has manifested from the subconsciousness of humanity itself and is considered the core of the Metaverse, the alternate realm which Joker and his friends explore as the Phantom Thieves of Hearts during their missions to force a "change of heart" on the corrupt upper-class members of Tokyo's society. Unlike the major Palaces connected to the major antagonists in the story however, Mementos is occupied by Shadow versions of people who perform misdeeds, but lack distorted enough desires to manifest their own cognitive Palace in the Metaverse. It is depicted as a warped version of the Underground Subway in Shibuya, adorning wooden train tracks in place of the rails, and the visual aesthetic of a prison with the subway being surrounded by numerous chains and cell bars. Unlike the larger standalone Palaces relevant to the immediate story, Mementos is an optional dungeon that can be accessed at any time after school to grind Levels, find additional items, earn extra Money, and obtain new Personas. During specific occasions, the player may also be fed information by schoolmate Yuuki Mishima, on potential distorted individuals residing within Mementos based on "Requests" made by users on his personal forum dedicated to the Phantom Thieves, the Phan-Site. The player may then opt to fulfill these requests and redeem said people within Mementos in order to gradually increase the public's belief in their justice. Similar to Tartarus in Persona 3 and the character-specific dungeons within the TV World in Persona 4, Mementos is procedurally generated and broken up into smaller "areas" that become progressively available to access as the Phantom Thieves gain more fame and notoriety in the real world for their societal reformations and exposure of criminals.
Mementos also makes an appearance as part of the story of Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, while it is referenced in Persona 5 Strikers. It is also featured as a selectable dance arena in Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight.
