Nintendo has released a new Arms update, version 3.2, which adds a brand new boss character and several new features. The new character, Springtron, appears only if the player can make it through the Grand Prix on level 4 with no losses.
You can check out a video of the new character in action above.
Other new features include the “Badges”, which players can earn for completing certain in-game objectives, and “Recent Replays”, which gives players more replay options.
Check out the patch notes below. The update is now live for all Arms players.
- Added new “Badge” feature.
- Receive neat badges as a reward for fulfilling certain conditions.
- Wear your favorite badge and show it off to your opponent.
- Added new “Recent Replays” feature.
- Select from a list and view replays of past matches.
- Replay data is automatically deleted when necessary, starting with the oldest data.
- Also, future ARMS updates will cause all replay data from past versions to be deleted.
- During replay playback, ZR will no longer switch between targets. The X button instead is used for all camera angle switching.

- Fixed issue where, at certain timings, follow up attacks after wind attacks would not land.
- Fixed issue where, after suffering an ice attack, players on a snake board could repeatedly jump and the snake board would continuously accelerate.
- Fixed issue where, when battle rules are set to 1-punch KO, under certain conditions fighters would become unable to move.
- We’ve identified an interloper who has been disrupting the Grand Prix, going after our fiercest competitors. If encountered, we advise you to dispatch them with prejudice.
