- Characters --- GREAT
Well priced, in line or cheaper with what the industry usually charges from players.
Since the original game already had plenty of content and characters, i have no problem here. Bought all so far and will keep that trend, unless they release something really odd.

- Mii Costumes --- GOOD
My rule for cosmetic is this: as long as it is not shoved in our faces every 10 minutes with advertises, i usually don't care.
Nintendo most likely doesn't expect anyone to buy all of them, just their favorites. If they make a good job, $0.75 is nothing, if they make a crap one, i can just ignore it.

- Stages --- MEDIOCRE
Here is where they dropped the ball, at least with me. It is not unforgivable, but it is well below Nintendo usual DLC pratices (Splatoon, MK8, NSLB) and more in line with the industry average from EA/Ubisoft (though still way better than EA/Ubisoft worst cases).

Both past and new stages feel overpriced, but doesn't fell like a cosmetic thing, they are things that i actually would love to have. Only got the Ryu stage, and won't get another unless there is a stage pack with good price.

- Bonus: Amiibo --- GOOD
Because this will obviously be a thing in this thread eventually, i am taking the liberty of approaching it now.
To the surprise of many i believe, i actually don't care about it. I think it is a weak, replaceable and not very fun use of the amiibos. It is only "good" from a DLC point of view, since it feels almost cosmetic and the game allows you to forget that it is a thing.

Nice of you to bring up Amiibos! I didn't really touch upon it very much, it is still part of the equation of Smash DLC.

Overall, Amiibos have very limited use in most games, mainly unlocking costumes or small extras and powerups, but I think Amiibos have the most use in Smash, since it's 'reusable'. The whole FP idea with customizations is a nice touch, but in the grand scheme of things, amiibos don't really add anything in Smash. Coms replace them just as easily and there isn't any locked content with amiibos.

In my opinion, Amiibos works really well with Smash, as it does something for those who have it, and those who do not isn't really missing anything really important.
