:''For full details in different games, see [[1P Game]], [[Classic Mode (SSBM)]], [[Classic Mode (SSBB)]], [[Classic Mode (SSB4-3DS)]], [[Classic Mode (SSB4-Wii U)]], and [[Classic Mode (SSBU)]].''
'''Classic Mode''' is a mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' that serves as the successor to the [[1P Game]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' The two modes are virtually identical in order; however, certain changes have been made. In the original, the player fought in a predetermined order: the player would always fight a specific character at a certain stage in a fixed order under static conditions).  In ''Melee'', randomization elements were introduced - the battles and the order in which they are take place are, for the most part, completely random (other than the basic layout, which is elaborated upon in the below section). Additionally, the [[Board the Platforms]] bonus game has been removed, instead replaced by [[Snag the Trophies]].
[[File:Classic Mode Brawl.png|thumb|300px|Classic Mode as seen in ''Brawl''.]]
'''Classic Mode''' ({{ja|シンプル|Shinpuru}}, ''Simple''), known as the '''1P Game''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', is a single-player campaign mode that has appeared in every installment of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. The many incarnations of this mode vary in terms of number of stages, order, and options available but generally feature a series of VS Mode matches leading up to a boss fight at a pre-selected difficulty. In the original, the player fought in a predetermined order: the player would always fight a specific character at a certain stage in a fixed order under static conditions.  In ''Melee'', randomization elements were introduced — the battles and the order in which they take place are, for the most part, completely random (other than the basic layout, which is elaborated upon in the below section). Additionally, the [[Board the Platforms]] bonus game was removed for ''Melee'', replaced by [[Snag the Trophies]]. In ''Brawl'', Snag the Trophies and {{SSBM|Race to the Finish}} were both removed to make room for the second [[Target Smash!]] round. Additionally, the matches are no longer as randomised as they were in Melee; each stage has a theme and is based on at least one universe (for instance, Stage 1 is based on ''The Legend of Zelda''), where characters and sometimes stages are chosen by random, provided they match the theme.


If the player loses all their [[stock]], they are brought to the [[Continue]] screen with the respective option. Some {{b|coins|collectable}} - the number of which varies depending on the difficulty level — and half the points are lost if "Yes" is chosen, but a "GAME OVER" is shown if "No" is chosen or if the player does not have the required amount of coins. If the player is defeated in Classic Mode in {{for3ds}}, a "GAME OVER" is shown before choosing to continue and the rewards from the stage before the current are lost. If the player is defeated in Classic Mode in {{forwiiu}}, some of the prizes are deducted.
Interestingly, [[Classic Mode]] (in ''Melee'') is actually shorter than the [[1P Game]] in the original.
 
In {{for3ds}}, instead of a singular path, the paths branch out, giving the player a choice as to who to fight next. Target Smash was the last bonus game to be removed ''for 3DS'' and ''for Wii U''. These paths are color coded: red is hardest and yields the most coins, green is medium, and blue is the easiest, yielding the least coins. In {{forwiiu}}, players do not have the choice of paths; rather, they advance based on skill levels.
 
Classic mode returns for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. This time, each character has their own pre-determined path with the same roster of opponents and stages in the same order every time. A unique name is given on the match screen, and the character’s path is often themed around them, such as Ryu fighting against [[Zero Suit Samus]] with Chun-Li's theme. There is also a [[Bonus Stage|bonus stage]], as well as additional bosses.

==Battle types==
Classic Mode introduces different types of battles as the player progresses. In ''Melee'', there is one type of each battle in a set stage, while in ''Brawl'' there are multiple special battles fought randomly in each stage.

===Regular battle===
===Regular battle===
In a regular battle, the player engages in a one on one battle with another character. These type of battles are the most common type of battle in ''SSB'', ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', ''Smash for 3DS'' and ''Ultimate''. The opponent is usually chosen at random and is battled on their [[home stage]], except in ''Smash for Wii U'' where the stage is chosen at random. In ''Ultimate'' there is no random battle selections due to the fact that all classic modes are predetermined. {{SSBU|Ryu}}, {{SSBU|Hero}}, {{SSBU|Terry}}, {{SSBU|Byleth}}, {{SSBU|Steve}}, {{SSBU|Pyra}}/{{SSBU|Mythra}} (albeit only one battle in her route), {{SSBU|Kazuya}}, and {{SSBU|Sora}} are the only characters to have [[Stamina mode|stamina]] battles in their routes.
In a regular battle, the player engages in a one on one battle with another character. These type of battles are the most common type of battle in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. The opponent is usually chosen at random and is battled on their [[home stage]].


===Team battle===
===Team battle===
In a team battle, the player pairs up with a computer ally and battles two other computer opponents just like battling against the [[Mario Bros. (team)|Mario Bros.]] in the original installment's [[1P Game]] mode. The higher the difficulty, the less reliable the ally will be.
In a team battle, the player pairs up with a computer ally and battles two other computer opponents. The opponents and ally are chosen at random in ''Melee'', while characters of the same series usually team up in ''Brawl''. The battle is usually fought on one of the opposing characters home stage. The higher the difficulty, the less reliable the ally will be.
 
In ''Melee'', the player fights a team of two opponents on stage 2 along a randomly selected ally (except for {{SSBM|Zelda}}, {{SSBM|Sheik}} and {{SSBM|Roy}}). The opposing team is randomly selected from a predetermined list. The ally's launch resistance depends on the [[difficulty|difficulties]] - the higher the difficulty, the lower the allies' launch resistance and AI level.
 
In ''Brawl'', universes with at least two character slots (therefore {{SSBB|Samus}} and {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}} do not qualify as two transformation characters cannot exist on stage at the same time) can be fought in a team battle along a randomly selected ally from the stage's featured universes. Two team battles are always encountered in a single playthrough.
 
In the 3DS version of ''SSB4'', some paths may have two opponents during stages 1 and 2. The player will fight them alongside a randomly selected ally.
 
In the Wii U version of ''SSB4'', a team battle may be fought (if the amount of opponents are right for one) alongside a player selected ally (among defeated characters). Some stages may feature multiple teams or more than two characters per team (if the stage allows more than 4 players where they will be in its [[8-Player Smash]] varation).
 
In ''Ultimate'', most Classic Mode routes lack a team battle. However, some characters such as {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}, and {{SSBU|Chrom}} are based on team battles, and may even include teammates in boss battles. Some characters fight a team of two opponents without an ally. Computer teammates will not appear if there is a second player.


===Giant battle===
===Giant battle===
In a giant battle, the player pairs up with at most two allies and battles a giant character. The giant character will have the same attributes as a character under the effects of a [[Super Mushroom]]; however, the enlarged size will last the whole battle. The giant character can usually sustain more damage and has more powerful attacks, but their jump distance is reduced and they become a bigger target. The higher the difficulty is, the less reliable the computer allies will be.

The giant character can usually sustain more damage and has more powerful attacks, but their jump is distance is reduced and they become a bigger target. The higher the difficulty is, the less reliable the computer allies will be. In ''Brawl'', the player may have one computer ally or none at all.
 
In ''Melee'', giant fights occur in stage 5, where a character will be randomly chosen from a predetermined list of eligible characters. The player is given two allies again during the giant battles just like in the original installment's [[1P Game]] mode when Battling against [[Giant Donkey Kong]].
 
In ''Brawl'', however, any character except for {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} characters on stage 1, and for the {{uv|Donkey Kong}} characters on stage 2 is eligible as a giant opponent. This battle is chosen at random by series and the player will be given a certain number of allies depending on the stage number. When this battle is chosen on stage 2, two allies will fight alongside the player. When it is chosen on stages 3, 4, and 5, only one ally will fight alongside the player. Finally, when chosen on stages 6-10, the player will fight alone.
 
In ''Smash for 3DS'', any character is eligible as a giant opponent by choosing any path. When this battle is chosen on stages 2 or 3, one or two allies will fight alongside the player. Finally, when chosen on stage 4 the player will fight alone.
 
In ''Smash for Wii U'', any character that's not a {{SSB4|Mii}} can be fought as a giant opponent, provided they appear as an intruder.
 
Most battles in ''Ultimate'' lack a giant battle, but a select few characters such as {{SSBU|Luigi}}, {{SSBU|Marth}} and {{SSBU|Sonic}} have a few giant battles.


===Multi-man battle===
===Multi-man battle===
In a multi-man or horde battle (refers to "Team (character)"), the player fights multiple copies of another character. The opponent team will usually attack in groups of three, but they have lower handicap than usual, making them easier to get KO'd by the player and more difficult for them to KO the player.
In a multi-man battle, the player fights ten copies of another character. The opponent team will attack in groups of three, but their weight is lighter than their normal version.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros.'', the multi-man battles are: 18 {{SSB|Yoshi}}s (Stage 2), 8 {{SSB|Kirby}}s (Stage 7) and the [[Fighting Polygon Team]] (Stage 10).
 
In ''Melee'', ''Brawl'' and ''Smash for 3DS'', the player fights 10 copies of a character. CPU's will not use the color the player chose if they use the same character as the player. In ''Brawl'', 25 playable characters may be fought as multi-man opponents. Exceptions In ''Brawl'' are ''The Legend of Zelda'' characters  on stage 1, [[Yoshi]] and the ''Donkey Kong'' characters on stage 2 and the ''[[Pokémon (universe)|Pokémon]]'' characters on stage 3.
 
In both versions of ''SSB4'', the player fights a number of Miis (10 in ''Smash for 3DS'' and 20 in ''Smash for Wii U''). All Miis' faces are generated from the player's console, along with Guest Miis if none exist. In ''Smash for 3DS'', the player can also fight against multiple copies of a character by choosing one path on stage 5.
 
In ''Ultimate'', multi man battles are uncommon but some characters such as {{SSBU|Marth}} and {{SSBU|Mega Man}} will use the format.


===Metal battle===
===Metal battle===
In a metal battle, the player faces an opposing computer player under the effects of a [[Metal Box]] for the entire battle. A metal character can sustain more damage without being launched and are less likely to flinch, along with having more powerful attacks. However, their falling speed is increased and running speed reduced.
In a metal battle, the player faces an opposing computer player under the effects that are similar to the [[Metal Box]]. A metal character can sustain more damage and are less likely to flinch with more powerful attacks. However, their falling speed is increased and running speed reduced. In ''Melee'', a metal battle is always fought on the [[Battlefield (SSBM)|Battlefield]] stage with no items appearing at all. In ''Brawl'', however, the metal battles are chosen at random by series and items are present.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros.'', the player fights [[Metal Mario]] in Stage 9 and always on the [[Meta Crystal]] stage.
 
In ''Melee'', a metal battle is always fought on the {{SSBM|Battlefield}} stage. All characters except for Roy, Ganondorf, and Mr. Game & Watch are eligible for a metal fight. Items are turned off.
 
In ''Brawl'', the metal battles are chosen at random by series starting from Stage 6.
 
In ''Smash for 3DS'', any character can be a metal opponent by choosing any path on stages 3 and 4. In ''Smash for Wii U'', any character that's not a {{SSB4|Mii}} can be fought as a metal opponent, provided they appear as an intruder.
 
In ''Ultimate'', only a handful of characters, including {{SSBU|Bowser}} and {{SSBU|Sonic}}, encounter metal characters in their Classic Mode routes as the routes are different between each characters.


===Tiny Battle===
==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
In ''Ultimate'', a new type of battle called '''Tiny Battle''' is introduced. In a tiny battle, the player battles a smaller version of the character. The tiny character will have the same attributes as a character under the effects of a [[Poison Mushroom]], however, the small size will last the whole battle. The tiny character sustains less damage & has less powerful attacks, but their jump is increased & they become a smaller target.
===Classic Mode Layout===
*Stage 1: 1 vs 1 (Opponent chosen at random from a list of characters)
*Stage 2: 2 vs 2 (Ally is chosen at random from a list of allies while the team you are fighting is picked out of a list of 29 teams randomly)
*Stage 3: [[Target Test]]
*Stage 4: 1 vs 1 (Opponent chosen at random from a list of characters)
*Stage 5: 3 vs 1 Giant Character (Allies chosen at random from a list of allies while a giant character is chosen out of a list of giant characters randomly)
*Stage 6: [[Snag the Trophies]]
*Stage 7: 1 vs 1 (Opponent chosen at random from a list of characters)
*Stage 8: 1 vs 10 of the same character (Teams are chosen at random out of a list)
*Stage 9: [[Race to the Finish (SSBM)|Race to the Finish]]
*Stage 10: 1 vs 1 Metal character (Opponent chosen at random from a list of metal characters)
*Stage 11: 1 vs [[Master Hand]] and sometimes [[Crazy Hand]]
Note: Ganondorf is not your opponent in this mode, he is your ally instead and Roy neither appears  as an opponent nor an ally, he only appears in this mode when the player is playing as him.


===Invisible Battle===
===Regular Battle===
In ''Ultimate'', a new type of battle called '''Invisible Battle''' is introduced. In an invisible battle, the player battles an invisible version of the character. The invisible character will have the same attributes as a character under the effects of a [[Cloaking Device]], but their invisibility will last for the whole battle.
There is a list of characters you will fight in 3 1-on-1 battles below. However, the Poké Floats stage don't appear in the stage list when you're fighting Pikachu, Pichu, Jigglypuff, or Mewtwo. When fighting Mewtwo, the Poké Floats music is played on the Pokémon Stadium and Final Destination stages instead and the Past Stages don't appear in the stage list next to the character list.


===Stamina Battle===
{| align="center" border="2" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="400px"
In ''Ultimate'', a new type of battle called '''Stamina Battle''' is introduced. Only {{SSBU|Ryu}}, {{SSBU|Hero}}, {{SSBU|Terry}}, {{SSBU|Byleth}}, and {{SSBU|Steve}} can fight stamina battles in Classic Mode.

===Free-for-All===
===Allies===
This new type of battle is introduced in ''Brawl''. In that game, it appears as the second to last battle. In this battle, the player must fight three random characters (who haven't been fought yet in the current playthrough) on {{SSBB|Final Destination}}. Due to the AI prioritizing human players over computer players in ''Brawl'', the opponents in this match will focus on attacking the player. The music played in this battle is ''Opening (Super Smash Bros. Melee)''.
This is a list of characters who will fight alongside you in Team and Giant battles.


In the 3DS version of ''Smash 4'', this battle returns as a random battle in three to four stages of the mode. In this game's battle, the player must battle three random characters on the first CPU's home stage designated by series. The Wii U version heavily focuses on this type of battle, when the player must battle more random characters than three. The Al is the same as the previous installment.

Free-for-all battles return in ''Ultimate'', but are notably rare. A few characters such as {{SSBU|Pichu}}, {{SSBU|Meta Knight}}, {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}}, {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Isabelle}} have free-for-all battles.
===2 vs. 2 Teams===
Below is the list of all the teams you can fight in Classic Mode. Both the characters for each team and the stage fought on is listed. There are a total of 29 teams.


===Boss battle===
{| align="center" border="2" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="500px"
This is usually the final stage. Traditionally the players faces [[Master Hand]] on the [[Final Destination]] stage. When one player reaches the final stage in this mode on at least Normal below 15 minutes (in ''Melee'') or at least Hard within 9 minutes (in ''Brawl'') without using any continues, Crazy Hand will fight alongside Master Hand. However, there are no items at all during this battle. Master Hand and Crazy Hand both have a certain number of hit points (depending on the difficulty the player chose) that must be depleted to clear this mode. In ''Brawl'', the difficulty also influences the hands' movement. The higher the difficulty, the faster they move.

In ''Melee'', Crazy Hand will appear after the player manages to reduce Master Hand's HP by half. His HP is dependent with the difficulty (Normal, Hard, or Very Hard) and begins with the number of HP matching to whatever number of HP that Master Hand had from the beginning of Stage 11.  
===Giant Character Battle===
Just like the teams, the giant characters you fight are picked randomly from a group that has already been predetermined by the game.


In ''Brawl'', Master Hand and Crazy Hand appear at the start of the fight from difficulties Hard, Very Hard or Intense (appearing right away instead of reducing Master Hand's HP by half unlike in Melee).

The mechanics are completely different in ''Smash for 3DS / Smash for Wii U''. Although both Master Hand and Crazy Hand return and are announced as the final battle together (appearing at the start of the fight strait away like in Brawl), they make up only a single form of the true final battle against [[Master Core]], a multi-stage boss with powerful and hard-to-dodge/easy-get-hit moves. All bosses in the final battle share a common health pool, with form changes and defeat occurring at fixed percentages. It is recommended that players use highly optimized custom equipment when taking on difficulty 9.0 due to the length and difficulty of the final battle.
===Multi-Character Battle===
Just like the teams, and the giant characters you fight, the multiple-character fight is picked randomly from a group that has already been predetermined by the game. This level consists of 15 characters consisting of a group of each other.


In ''Smash for 3DS'', the player is given a choice of paths between Master Hand alone (easy) or Master Hand and Crazy Hand (hard). Higher difficulties turn the hard route into a battle against Master Core. At very high difficulties (8.0 to 9.0), the player has no choice but to fight Master Core and all its forms.

In ''Smash for Wii U'', Master Hand will always appear as the final battle. Crazy Hand appears from the mid-low difficulties and upwards (appearing at the stat of the battle strait away like in Brawl). Higher difficulties turn it into a battle against Master Core. Starting at 8.0, Master Core gains an additional phase in [[Master Fortress]], a maze filled with powerful minions and hazardous surfaces where the player has to destroy its weak points to win.
===Metal Battle===
Unlike in regular battles, this is a list of metal characters that you will fight on the Battlefield stage.


In ''Ultimate'', the boss fought depends on the player character and is not always Master Hand and Crazy Hand. For example, {{SSBU|Mario}} and {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}} face [[Giga Bowser]] and {{SSBU|Kirby}}, {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}} and the {{SSBU|Inkling}}s fight [[Marx]].  Sometimes the boss is fought before the final stage. For example, {{SSBU|Mega Man}} fights [[Galleom]] in the round before fighting {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}} and {{SSBU|Mewtwo}} (as a nod to Wily's [https://megaman.fandom.com/wiki/Alien alien] form from ''Mega Man 2''). Some fighters don't face any bosses at all, such as {{SSBU|Jigglypuff}}, who fights [[Giant Donkey Kong]] and {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}, who fights Giant {{SSBU|Palutena}}. Meanwhile, all of {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}'s fights are against bosses.
