Editing Adventure Mode (SSBM)

The Adventure Mode acts as a method to showcase almost all of the game's [[starter character]] [[universe]]s, as well as a slightly more in-depth single player experience than the more arcade-styled Classic Mode. It can also be seen as the enhanced successor to the [[1P Game]] from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' which did not return proper for ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. The [[Yoshi Team]], [[Giant DK]], the [[Kirby Team]], and [[Metal Mario]] return as opponent characters in this mode.

For the latter, while the Adventure Mode does feature typical one-on-one fights common in the Classic mode, some fights are considerably less straightforward, or follow a theme; for instance, Stage 7: Pokémon Stadium pits the player against a team of 12 {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, as well as the potential for Jigglypuff and {{SSBM|Pichu}} (but must first be unlocked), but only with Poké Balls as available items, mirroring the ''Pokémon'' series' gameplay. Some stages also incorporate platforming elements prior to fighting, such as Stage 3: Underground Maze, and others, such as the Escape From Brinstar segment in Stage 4: Brinstar, lack fighting altogether. Another point of interest in the mode is the inclusion of various enemies in the stages that are not fighters, but rather, serve as obstacles to the player; among these include [[Goomba]]s and [[ReDead]]s. Adding to this depth of making the Adventure Mode more involved, the stages follow a loose narrative, involving the player's character traveling to different planets, as seen between Stages 4 and 5, and finally ending up at Stage 12: Final Destination.

===Part 1: Reach the Flagpole===

===Part 2: Team Mario and Peach Battle===

This is the second part of the stage. The player must battle {{SSBM|Mario}} and {{SSBM|Peach}} on [[Princess Peach's Castle]]. On higher difficulties, they can abuse the central tower to combo the player. Peach and Mario have a habit to run to the opposite side of the castle when [[Banzai Bill]] approaches the castle. They will not attack the player until Banzai Bill explodes, unless the player comes near. Defeating both of them will allow the player to move on to the next match.

If the player finishes part 1 with a "2" as the second digit in the seconds place (a time with X:X2:XX), a cutscene will initiate where {{SSBM|Luigi}} [[footstool]]s over Mario onto the castle's roof, resulting in the fight being against Luigi and Peach instead of Mario and Peach. Defeating the pair in under a minute and completing the rest of Adventure Mode will result in getting the chance to unlock Luigi.

==Stage 2: {{SSBM|Kongo Jungle}}==

===Part 1: Tiny Donkey Kong Team Battle===

===Part 2: Giant Donkey Kong Battle===

Part two pits the player against [[Giant Donkey Kong]] on [[Jungle Japes]].

==Stage 3: [[Underground Maze]]==

The Underground Maze is infested with [[ReDead]]s, [[Octorok]]s, and [[Like Like]]s. These enemies can cause heavy damage, especially the ReDeads. The Underground Maze is large and easy to become lost in, with one area that has lava, which has a similar effect to touching the acid on the [[Brinstar]] stage. The player can collect trophies on the way.

===Part 2: Zelda/Sheik Battle===

In part two, the player battles against {{SSBM|Zelda}}/{{SSBM|Sheik}} on [[Temple]].

==Stage 4: [[Brinstar]]==

===Part 1: Samus Battle===

===Part 2: Escape Zebes===

The player battles {{SSBM|Kirby}} on [[Green Greens]].

===Part 2: Kirby Team Battle===

[[File:Giant Kirby SSBM.png|thumb|Giant Kirby's entrance.]]

If the player defeated the first Kirby and the Kirby team in less than 31 seconds each, they will be given the chance to fight Giant Kirby. Defeating the Giant Kirby will award the '''Giant Kirby KO''' [[bonus points|bonus]] for 10000 points.

==Stage 6: [[Corneria]]==

The player battles against {{SSBM|Fox}} on [[Corneria]] and has a time limit of four minutes. Fox acts very defensively in this fight; the higher the difficulty, the more likely he is to simply run to the other end of the stage and only attack if approached.

===Part 2: Fox Reborn Battle===

==Stage 7: [[Pokémon Stadium]]==

The player will battle a team of twelve Pokémon. Most of the opponents will be {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, though if {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}} and {{SSBM|Pichu}} have been unlocked, a minority of them may also appear as well. The only [[item]]s that appear on the stage are [[Poké Ball]]s, with more appearing on lower difficulties.

==Stage 8: [[F-Zero Grand Prix]]==

===Part 2: Captain Falcon Battle===

==Stage 9: [[Onett]]==

The player's goal is to defeat three {{SSBM|Ness}}es in four minutes, each one in red, blue and yellow (unless the player chose one of these costumes, in which green will be the third opponent). The only [[item]] that will appear on the stage is [[Mr. Saturn]], and in copious amounts. The Nesses rarely attack the player's character on lower difficulties. Instead, they travel around the stage to collect Mr. Saturns and throw them at the player. They will still attack if the player comes near. On higher difficulties, the Nesses will attack the players until Mr. Saturn appears.

==Stage 10: [[Icicle Mountain]]==

On the stage [[Icicle Mountain]], the player must survive 51 seconds of constant upwards scrolling. Unlike the playable version of the stage, the scrolling speed is not random; it starts out very slowly and accelerates up to maximum speed when the time is almost up. The player has the option of moving the stage up faster by jumping onto higher up platforms, but this will not make the Ice Climbers appear sooner. While the player is traveling upwards, they will encounter [[Topi]]s and [[Polar Bear]]s, and there are also [[trophies]] scattered throughout that may be collected. Topis are usually found pushing [[Freezie]]s, which are very common on the stage, while Polar Bears can jump to "bump" the stage upwards a bit. After 51 seconds have elapsed, the stage will slow to a medium pace and the player must battle two pairs of {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} with a remaining time limit of 3:09.

==Stage 11: {{SSBM|Battlefield}}==

In the first part of this stage, the player must defeat fifteen large [[Fighting Wire Frames]] in reduced gravity. This is similar to the [[Fighting Polygon Team]] fight in [[1P Game]] from the original game.

===Part 2: Metal Mario Battle/Metal Bros. Battle===

==Stage 12: {{SSBM|Final Destination}}==

In the first part of this stage, the player must battle a Giant Bowser. On Normal difficulty and higher, Bowser will use his black [[Alternate costume (SSBM)#Bowser|alternate costume]].

[[File:GigaBowserMelee.jpg|thumb|Mario fights against Giga Bowser.]]

In the second part of this stage, the player must defeat [[Giga Bowser]] as the final battle. The player can only fight him if they meet the following conditions:

The player can only fight Giga Bowser ''prior'' to the 18-minute mark. If continues are used, Giga Bowser can be fought as many times as the player wishes, but once the limit has passed, Giga Bowser cannot be fought again and Adventure Mode is deemed as cleared when Giant Bowser is defeated.

==Trivia==

*{{SSBM|Luigi}}, {{SSBM|Falco}}, {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}, and {{SSBM|Pichu}} are the only [[unlockable character]]s that can appear in Adventure Mode. Out of these four unlockable characters, Luigi is the only one that can appear before being unlocked, as making him appear is needed to unlock him to begin with.

*The Team Luigi and Peach cutscene includes background [[Music_(SSB)#5:_Peach's_Castle_Sky_Stage|music]] from ''Smash 64''{{'}}s [[Peach's Castle]], which is the only place in ''Melee'' the music track played.
