'''Classic Mode''' ({{ja|シンプル}}, ''Simple'') is a mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' that serves as the successor to the [[1P Game]] of ''[[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 was removed for ''Melee'', replaced by [[Snag the Trophies]]. In ''Brawl'', Snag the Trophies and {{SSBM|Race to the Finish}} were both removed, and a second [[Target Smash!]] round added. Additionally, the matches are no longer as randomised as they were in Melee; each stage has a theme (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.
'''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.
If the player loses all their [[stock]], they are brought to the [[Continue]] screen with a "Yes" or "No" answer to the [[Announcer]]'s question "Continue?" Some points and {{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.


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.
In at least {{for3ds}}, instead of a singular path, the paths branch out, giving the player a choice as to who to fight next.
 
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==
==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. Also in ''Melee'', the ally's launch resistance depends on the [[difficulty|difficulties]]. The higher the difficulty, the lower the ally's launch resistance.
 
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 distance is reduced and they become a bigger target. The higher the difficulty is, the less reliable the computer allies will be. In ''Brawl'', 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 not be given any allies.


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]].
===Multi-man battle===
In a multi-man battle, the player fights ten copies of another character. The opponent team will attack in groups of three, but they have lower handicap than usual, making them easier to defeat and more difficult for them to KO the player.


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.
===Metal battle===
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 {{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 ''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.  
===Free-for-All===
This battle only appears in ''Brawl'' 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 prioritising 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)''.


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.
===Final battle===
In a final battle, the players faces [[Master Hand]] (and possibly [[Crazy Hand]]) on the [[Final Destination]] stage. When one player reaches the final stage in this mode on normal or higher in under 15 minutes and hard or above in 9 minutes or less in ''Brawl'' without continuing Crazy Hand will fight along side Master Hand. However, there are no items present in this battle. Master Hand and Crazy Hand both have certain number of hit points depending on the difficulty the player chose that must be depleted to clear this mode. However in ''Brawl'', along with the change of hit points is the movement of the hands. 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. In ''Brawl'', Master Hand and Crazy Hand will both appear at the start of the fight.


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.
==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
[[File:Classicmodeintro.png|200px|thumb|The classic mode seen in Super Smash Bros. Melee.]]
===Classic Mode stages===

===Multi-man battle===
====Opponent statistics====
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 ''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).
===Regular Battle===
All characters except {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}, {{SSBM|Roy}}, and {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}} are eligible to fight the player throughout the mode's three 1-on-1 battles, with their home stages listed below. In this mode, neither [[Poké Floats]] nor any [[Past Stages]] are used. In Battle 1 on Very Hard Difficulty, the opponent will wear its third alternative costume. In Battle 7 on Hard or Very hard, the computer will usually try to avoid the player at all costs, sometimes by walking off the screen.


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.
===Allies===
All playable characters aside from {{SSBM|Zelda}}/{{SSBM|Sheik}} and {{SSBM|Roy}} can fight alongside the player in Team and Giant Battles. These allies all use their first [[Palette swap (SSBM)|alternate costume]] in Team Battles; for allies in Giant Battles, the first ally uses the second alternate costume, while the second uses the first alternate costume.


In ''Ultimate'', multi man battles are uncommon but some characters such as {{SSBU|Marth}} and {{SSBU|Mega Man}} will use the format.
===2 vs. 2 Teams===
Below is the list of all the teams the player 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. On Very Hard Difficulty, the first opponent wears its third alternative costume. When fighting a team of Mario and Bowser on Battlefield, the theme for Princess Peach's Castle plays.


===Metal battle===
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;min-width:50em"
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 ''Super Smash Bros.'', the player fights [[Metal Mario]] in Stage 9 and always on the [[Meta Crystal]] stage.
===Giant Character Battle===
Just like the teams, the giant characters the player fights are picked randomly from a group that has already been predetermined by the game.


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.

Just like the teams, and the giant characters the player fights, the multiple-character fight is picked randomly from a group that has already been predetermined by the game. This level consists of 10 characters consisting of multiples of a single character.


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.
===Metal Battle===
All characters eligible to fight the player in 1-on-1 battles may appear as a metal character in this fight. However, the stage is always Battlefield.


===Tiny Battle===
==In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==
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.

===Invisible Battle===
As one unlocks more characters and stages, the rest of the battle types will be chosen.
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 are:
*2 Target Smash!!
*3 Single
*2 Team
*2 Multi-Man
*2 Giant
*1 Metal
*1 4 player free for all
*1 Final


===Stamina Battle===
Note: Each battle type will never be the same as the previous round.
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===
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
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)''.
{{recent release}}
In at least the 3DS version, instead of following a singular path as per previous games, the player is now given a selection of routes to follow, providing different opponents along the way.


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.
Confirmed information for the 3DS version<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/us/3ds/gamemode/entry3.html Smashbros.com - Solo]</ref>:
* One-on-one, 2-on-2, Metal, and Giant battles are all confirmed to return. Multi-Man battles return, but this time will always appear in a battle before Master Hand. Four man free-for-alls return, but will take place on one of the character's home stages.
* Players proceed along a map and can choose from different paths. Each [[series symbol]] marker on the map represents a battle against one or more characters from that [[universe]].
*The paths a player takes determines further difficulty in the battles they lead to. Red indicates a path to more rewards, but a harder difficulty, green indicates a medium level of difficulty, with moderate rewards, and blue indicates the easiest battle, with little reward.
* Winning a match rewards the player with gold, and can award trophies and custom parts as well.
* "Fighter Balance" allows players to adjust intensity in a manner very similar to the {{s|icaruspedia|Fiend's Cauldron}} in ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}'', where the more gold invested, the harder the battle is and the greater the rewards if won.
* Unlike previous Classic Modes, [[Past Stages|returning stages]] are playable in the mode.
* In addition to the hands, a third boss known as the [[Master Core]] appears on high intensities.
* Instead of selecting an amount of stock to carry throughout an entire run, players start each stage with 2 stock.


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.

===Boss battle===
==Rewards==
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 ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''===
*Clearing Classic Mode as [[Mario]] without using any continues will challenge the player to defeat {{SSBM|Dr. Mario}}, where victory results in unlocking him.
*Clearing Classic Mode with any character on any difficulty will challenge the player to defeat {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}, and beating it results in unlocking it.
*Clearing Classic Mode with 10 characters will challenge the player to defeat {{SSBM|Young Link}}, and beating him will unlock him.
*Clearing Classic Mode with the 14 [[starter character]]s will challenge the player to defeat {{SSBM|Marth}} from the Fire Emblem series, beating him will unlock him.
*Clearing Classic Mode with Marth will challenge the player to defeat {{SSBM|Roy}}, and beating him will unlock him.
*Clearing Classic Mode with all characters (Except Mr. Game & Watch) will challenge the player to defeat {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}. Beating him will unlock him.
*Clearing Classic Mode with Mr. Game & Watch will unlock the [[Flat Zone]] stage.
*Clearing Classic Mode with all characters gives the player the Donkey Kong Junior Trophy.
*Clearing Classic Mode on Hard or Very Hard without using any continues gives the player a trophy of [[Master Hand]].
*Clearing Classic Mode on any difficulty with any character will give the player a trophy of the character used.


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.  
===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
*Beating Classic Mode on Easy gives the player a sticker of a running Chibi-Robo.
*Beating Classic Mode on Normal gives the player Icicle Mountain Music.
*Beating Classic Mode on Hard gives the player Credits (Super Smash Bros.) Music.
*Beating Classic Mode on Very Hard gives the player the Striker Mario Trophy.
*Beating Classic Mode on Intense gives the player a trophy of [[Crazy Hand]].
*Beating Classic Mode with 10 characters will challenge the player to defeat {{SSBB|Sonic}}. Beating him will unlock him and the [[Green Hill Zone]] stage.
*Beating Classic Mode will Challenge the player to defeat {{SSBB|Marth}}, and beating him will unlock him.
*Beating Classic Mode without using any continues will challenge the player to defeat {{SSBB|Luigi}}. Beating him will unlock him.
*Beating Classic Mode on Normal or higher in 12 minutes will challenge the player to defeat {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}, and beating him will unlock him.
*Beating Classic Mode on Hard or higher as {{SSBB|Link}} or {{SSBB|Zelda}} will challenge the player to defeat {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}, and beating him will unlock him.
*Beating Classic Mode after beating the [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|SSE]] will challenge the player to defeat {{SSBB|Toon Link}}. Beating him will unlock him.
*Beating Classic Mode with 20 different characters gives the player a trophy of [[Master Hand]].
*Beating Classic Mode with all characters gives the player the Paper Mario Trophy.
*Beating Classic Mode with all characters (including {{SSBB|Sheik}}, {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}, {{SSBB|Squirtle}}, {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}, and {{SSBB|Charizard}}) gives the player the Creeping Chrysanthemum trophy.
*Clearing Classic Mode on any difficulty with any character will give the player a trophy of the character used.


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).
==Trivia==
*Oddly, {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} will never appear as an enemy fighter in ''Melee''’s Classic Mode, nor will {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}} outside of the Multi-Character Battle. {{SSBM|Roy}} will never appear at all. {{SSBM|Sheik}} will also never initially appear, only ever as a transformation for {{SSBM|Zelda}}, who will never appear as an ally. Despite their absences, they all have their own intro poses programmed into the disc. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGOzsSEBO9Y&feature=player_embedded]
*In ''Brawl'', Halberd will always be fought on in stage 5 due to Kirby characters always being fought in stage 5 and the lack of another Kirby stage that is not a ''Melee'' stage.
*''Brawl'' is the only game in which the player's character is not seen facing the opponent character on the screen where the narrator announces who is to be fought next.
*''Brawl''{{'}}s and ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS''{{'}}s 2 vs 2 fight and giant battles with allies appear to use a team battle type with the player on the red team and the opponents on the blue team.  


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.
==Music==
The music that plays when ''Brawl''{{'}}s Classic Mode is cleared.


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.
[[File:Smash Bros Brawl - Classic Mode Clear.ogg]]
 
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.
 
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.
 
==Trivia==
*''Ultimate''{{'}}s Classic Mode doesn't have the announcer during the pre-match loading screens, unlike previous games.
*''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', ''for Wii U'' and ''Ultimate''{{'}}s Classic Modes have no voice clip for the announcer saying "Game Over!", unlike previous games.
*''Super Smash Bros.'', ''for 3DS'' and ''Ultimate''{{'}}s Classic Mode have no short movies for every fighter upon clearing Classic Mode, unlike other installments.
*''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' have no Classic Mode final stage screen shown during the pre-match loading screen, unlike other installments.
