All-Star Mode made its debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', as an unlockable [[:Category:Single-player modes|1-player mode]] which puts the player up against every [[fighter]] in the game. It is automatically unlocked upon unlocking every fighter.
All-Star Mode made its debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', as an unlockable [[:Category:Single-player modes|1-player mode]] which puts the player up against every [[fighter]] in the game. It is automatically unlocked upon unlocking every fighter.


All-Star Mode has 13 stages. The number of opponents per stage increases as the player advances: one opponent per stage for Stages 1 to 4, two per stage for Stages 5 to 8, three per stage for Stages 9 to 12, and a [[Classic Mode#Team battle|team]] of 25 Mr. Game & Watch for Stage 13. Similarly to [[wikirby:The Arena#Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra|its inspiration]], the opponents are selected at random from the entire roster, excluding {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}} (who is always fought last), so that each character is fought once. Each opponent (except Mr. Game & Watch) wears one of their first three [[alternate costume]]s, unless the player is wearing one of those three costumes, in which case that character can wear their default costume (but not the costume the player is wearing); Mr. Game & Watch will always wear his default costume, unless the player uses that costume, in which case they will wear the red costume.

The player's percentage does not revert to 0% between battles. Instead, the [[All-Star Rest Area]] contains three [[Heart Container]]s, which the player can use to restore health between stages. Once one of these Heart Containers is consumed, it does not return for the rest of the mode. These Heart Containers, unlike normal ones, recover 999% damage (as they did in ''[[Smash 64]]'') instead of only 100% damage. Due to a glitch, however, entering the portal while damage is being healed will prevent the damage from healing any further, leaving it at the same amount of damage as when the portal was entered.

All-Star Mode returns in ''Brawl'', and is mostly unchanged from ''Melee''. The player still gets a trio of Heart Containers, as well as random trophies (which, unlike in ''Melee'', do not appear as a question mark if the game is paused), and they fight through every fighter in the game. The player still only has 1 stock, and they do not regain health between matches without a Heart Container (although after using one, the player can now enter the teleporter without having to wait for their health to fully recover).

In addition to {{SSBB|Ness}} and {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSBB|Lucas}} and {{SSBB|Peach}} can heal themselves without a Heart Container by using [[PSI Magnet]] and [[Peach Blossom]] respectively. Furthermore, fighters can be healed via the microgames in [[WarioWare, Inc.]]

The order in which the opponents are fought is based on the Japanese release date of the first game in the fighter's/fighters' universe, with fighters from older series being fought first. As such, the player will always fight Mr. Game & Watch first and {{SSBB|Olimar}} last, with Olimar's difficulty ramped up. In effect, this means that stages for {{uv|Kid Icarus}}, {{uv|Ice Climber}} and {{uv|Pikmin}} will be easier than {{uv|Mario}}, {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} and {{uv|Pokémon}}, due to the latter three universes having multiple opponents.

Up to two enemies can appear on the stage at once; when a series has more than two characters, a new fighter will appear a few seconds after the player KOs one of the opponents. On stages with multiple opponents, the order of the opponents is random.

To defeat {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}, the player must defeat {{SSBB|Squirtle}}, {{SSBB|Ivysaur}} and {{SSBB|Charizard}}; once one is defeated, the Trainer will send out the next one. For {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} and {{uv|Metroid}}, the player will battle one of {{SSBB|Zelda}} or {{SSBB|Sheik}} and one of {{SSBB|Samus}} or {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}, selected at random.

Each fighter is fought on one of their [[home stage]]s (randomly selected if there are multiple). {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} universe stages (such as {{SSBB|Battlefield}} and {{SSBB|Final Destination}}) and [[Past Stages]] are not used as home stages for any fighter. Unlike ''Melee'', [[Unlockable stage]]s can only appear if they have been unlocked. [[Mario Bros.]] is used as {{SSBB|R.O.B.}}'s home stage and does not appear as a ''Mario'' home stage; if Mario Bros. has not yet been unlocked, [[Delfino Plaza]] is used instead.

*In the English version of the [[Super Smash Bros. Direct]], [[Masahiro Sakurai]] was mistranslated as saying that [[Assist Trophies]] would "figure into All-Star mode" in some fashion in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. However, Assist Trophies ended up playing no role in the mode, and they do not even spawn as regular items within battles. In Japanese, Sakurai was instead referring to the "all-star" cast as opposed to the mode itself.
