'''Target Smash!!''' ({{ja|ターゲットをこわせ!!|Tāgetto wo Kowase!!}}, '''Break the Targets!!'''), known as '''Break the Targets!''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and '''Target Test''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', is a mini-game appearing in the first four installments of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. The goal of the game is to smash all 10 targets scattered throughout a special arena as quickly as possible.

In ''Melee'', like ''SSB'', every character has their own Target Test. Their target tests often require use of character-specific techniques, such as {{SSBM|Ness}} requiring to use his [[PK Thunder]]. Some characters' target tests reference locations in their own series, such as the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}' target test looking much like the levels in [[Ice Climber (game)|their game]], and {{SSBM|Mario}} and {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}}'s target test loosely resembling the setting of ''Donkey Kong''. Some stages even include images, symbols, or other characters from the character's game (such as the [[Triforce]] appearing in Zelda/Sheik's stage and the [[Condor]] at the top of the Ice Climbers' stage). Like with the original ''Smash Bros.'', the level design can be based off of the character's genre, such as characters affiliated with royalty featuring Greek columns and futuristic characters featuring metallic structures.
In ''Melee'', like ''SSB'', every character has their own Target Test. Target Tests often require use of character-specific techniques, for example, {{SSBM|Ness}} is required to use his [[PK Thunder]] in order to complete the test.

Like with the original ''Smash Bros.'', the level design may include motifs based on the character's archetype - for example, characters affiliated with royalty may feature Greek columns, and futuristic characters may feature metallic structures.
 
Some unique traits occur in each character's Target Test:
*When playing the Ice Climbers' test, only one Climber is present. Furthermore, it will always play the track "Icicle Mountain" instead of the usual track.
*{{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}'s test features a wall with a graphic of dolphins on it. This same graphic is also found in parts of the [[Big Blue]] stage in both this game and ''F-Zero X''.
*{{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s test takes place on a modified form of [[Flat Zone]], making it the only Target Test to feature a normal stage. The [[blast line]]s also act as walls, making it impossible to fail by [[self-destruct]]ing. Unusually, the stage does not actually turn characters into 2D sprites like the actual stage.
*{{SSBM|Luigi}}'s test contains a lone platform in the shape of a [[Nintendo GameCube]]; the model for the GameCube is identical to that of its [[List of SSBM trophies (Others)|corresponding trophy]], and features a variety of details that cannot be seen without an unrestricted camera hack, such as an [[wikipedia:ATI Technologies|ATI]] sticker on the front of it. Plus, it takes place in a largely enclosed area, save for a small gap in the bottom middle part.
*{{SSBM|Young Link}}'s test requires use of [[wall jump]]ing in order to complete, making it the only test in the game to require such a technique.


In {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}, during the first Bonus Stage, this mode is announced as '''Break the targets!''' (the exclamation mark is omitted in the PAL version), resembling the original ''Super Smash Bros.''{{'}} name.

In Stadium mode, when starting or restarting the stage with a controller in port 1 while holding onto either L or R, a song from the character's universe plays instead of the "Targets" theme. These songs also play for their respective characters during the end [[credits]] and after winning [[Tournament Mode (SSBM)|Tournament mode]].

This level is icy, causing players to slip. Most of the targets move, often requiring perfect timing to complete fast enough. There is one non-moving target that is very difficult to get, located at the bottom right of the stage, and for some characters, it has to be gotten last. This stage has no items. It appears to be set in [[the Glacial Peak]] or in [[Summit]].

As a stand-alone mini-game, Target Smash has been replaced by [[Target Blast]] in both versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. However, a more traditional '''Target Smash!''' can appear in three variants - easy, medium and hard - behind Challenge [[Door]]s in [[Smash Run]].
