'''Boss Battles Mode''' (also called '''Boss Battles''', '''Boss Mode''', '''Bosses Mode''', '''Boss Rush''', or '''Boss Rush Mode''') is an [[unlockable]] [[Stadium]] mode introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' that is very similar to [[All-Star Mode]], except the player fights all the [[boss]]es rather than all the playable characters. Boss Battles Mode is unlocked after the player completes both {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} & [[The Subspace Emissary]] for the first time, or in other words, has defeated each boss at least once (aside from {{SSBB|Crazy Hand}}). | |||

When a player begins Boss Battles Mode, they are immediately dropped into combat against one of the nine bosses (exluding [[Tabuu]]). Once a boss is defeated, the player is brought to the rest area. The rest area displays all defeated bosses as trophies, a screen that displays the face of next boss to be fought, and has limited recovery items. There are three [[Heart Container]]s, which recover the player's damage to 0% and don't respawn when they are consumed (which is why it is recommended that the player should use them sparingly). This format continues until all bosses are defeated. The bosses are fought in random order, except for Tabuu, who is always last. | ||
This format is mostly the same as [[All Star]]. However, the player gets no [[continue]]s to defeat the bosses (unlike in previous 1 player modes {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} and ''All Star''); an action to get an extra number of lives. So if the player dies, they must start all over again. On the "GAME OVER" screen (as the player gets a "GAME OVER" after losing their stock), it shows the number of bosses that the player defeated before they were KO'd (for example, if 9 bosses are defeated, the display says "9 DEFEATED"). | |||
The final three bosses before Tabuu move and attack at a faster rate (most noticeable with Rayquaza & Galleom), and boss HP gradually increases as the mode progresses. The player is treated to a picture of one of the bosses upon completing the mode; this picture varies depending on the difficulty level chosen. | |||
Boss Battles also includes a co-op mode, where both characters will have a single stock and there will be three extra Heart Containers for a total of six. Both players must remain alive; if either player loses their stock, the game ends. | The player is unable to use any stickers. | ||
