Editing Collection

{{articleIcons|ssbm=yes|ssbb=yes|ssb4=yes|ssbu=yes}}

'''Collection''', referred to as the '''Trophy Hoard''' in ''Brawl'' and the '''Hoard''' in ''Smash 4'', is a mode present in the games that allows the player to view all of the [[trophies]] they have collected up to that point. Differences between the three versions exist, but they all have the same overall purpose in the game. In ''Ultimate'', Collection has been repurposed as a submenu for managing the player's [[spirit]]s.

As stated earlier, the mode allows the player to view all of their trophies in the game at that point; the player can zoom in and out on the trophies by using the X and Y buttons respectively, as well as pan the camera using the Control Stick; pressing A returns the camera to its original position.

The room that the trophies are showcased in is similar to that of an ordinary bedroom, with a hardwood floor and two window shades, each of which has the [[Super Smash Bros. logo]] on them; the trophies rest on a marble table with what appears to be a paper or cloth covering with a grid on it. The table itself resides in front of a multitude of shelves that feature many Nintendo consoles up to the release of ''Melee''; these are visible when zooming out after the player has attained a larger number of trophies.

*In all versions, the [[Nintendo GameCube]], [[Nintendo 64]], [[Game Boy]], Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color appear, as well as a television set with the words [[HAL Laboratory|"Hal Laboratory Inc."]] on it. All versions also have a copy of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' in the Nintendo 64, with a box nearby; the design of the box and cartridge vary in appearance with the region.

*The Japanese version features the [[wikipedia:Famicom|Famicom]] and [[wikipedia:Super Famicom|Super Famicom]], as well as the Virtual Boy; owners of the American version can view these by changing the game language to Japanese. The Famicom and Super Famicom have cartridges that feature "Dairantou Smash Bros." in Japanese text.

*The American and [[PAL]] versions do not feature the Virtual Boy at all, due to the console's failure in America and its subsequent cancelled release in Europe. Additionally, both games have an NES instead of the Famicom, and the American version has an SNES instead of the Super Famicom; as a result of the SNES more closely resembling the Super Famicom in PAL regions, the PAL version retains the Super Famicom.

Along with the consoles, the Japanese version also features calligraphy on the very top of the shelves, spelling out the Japanese name for the series, "Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu" in hiragana, katakana and kanji characters; as calligraphy is not widespread in American or PAL regions, this image is replaced by that of a [[wikipedia:Piet Mondrian|Mondrian-esque]] picture with the words "Super Smash Bros."

Of note is that after completing any of the single-player games, there are six differently coloured Game Boy Colors in the corner of the shelves; they disappear in the Collection mode.

The Collection mode reappears in Brawl as '''Trophy Hoard'''. While it reprises its original function, it has dramatic differences from its Melee incarnation.

The setting of the Hoard is now completely different. Instead of an ordinary room, all the trophies are instead displayed on what appears to be a clearing on a parapet; the walls of a castle lined with small flags with the Smash symbol appear in the background, as well as a bright sky. The grid has been removed in favor of a large Smash logo. The consoles and other props have been removed as well. The layout of the trophies can be changed by holding a direction on the Control Stick or Control Pad before the Hoard appears.<ref>https://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/various/various38.html</ref>

The Trophy Hoard also gives the player the ability to use the Diorama Mode; the player can take any four trophies that they have and arrange them however they need on a selection of four backgrounds. Afterward, the player, using a menu similar to the [[Camera|Camera feature]] in normal gameplay, can take snapshots of the arrangement of trophies.

The Hoard still appears at the end of Single Player modes, though only for [[Classic Mode (SSBB)|Classic]] and [[All-Star Mode|All-Star]]. However, the player's character instead immediately drops down as a trophy; when they land, the other character trophies are immediately arranged in a predetermined order, unlike the random placement of ''Melee''.
