'''Difficulty''' is an option in some [[single player]] and [[co-op mode]]s that allows a player to adjust the game after one's skill. Depending on what mode is being played, different difficulty levels will affect the game in different ways. For example, a higher difficulty level in the [[Subspace Emissary]] will make the enemies harder by giving them more [[HP]] and making their attacks stronger, while a higher difficulty level in [[Target Smash]] changes the stage's design into a more difficult one. Sometimes, [[unlockable]]s such as trophies or stickers depend on the difficulty on which a game mode is cleared. In the Subspace Emissary, [[Stock Ball]]s vary in number, from appearing in most levels in Easy to never appearing in Intense. | '''Difficulty''' is an option in some [[single player]] and [[co-op mode]]s that allows a player to adjust the game after one's skill.

In ''Smash 64'', the difficulty setting is only available for the [[1P Game]]. In the other three games, the setting appears for the [[Classic Mode]], [[Adventure Mode]], [[Subspace Emissary]] and [[All-Star Mode]]. Additionally, in ''Brawl'', the setting is available for [[Boss Battles]], and has been added to [[Event match]]es and [[Target Smash!!]]. However, the [[event match]]es in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' only have three difficulties (Easy, Normal, and Hard). ''Smash 4'' also featured an entirely retooled difficulty scale for its Classic and All-Star Modes. | |||

Difficulty levels were significantly overhauled in ''Smash 4''. The game's retooled Classic Mode features the '''Fiend's Scale''' to determine the game's difficulty. In this system, the player is able to select an intensity from 0.0 to 9.0, with higher intensities leading to harder fights, but more rewards; the default intensity is 2.0 | Difficulty levels were significantly overhauled in ''Smash 4''. The game's retooled Classic Mode features the '''Fiend's Scale''' to determine the game's difficulty. In this system, the player is able to select an intensity from 0.0 to 9.0, with higher intensities leading to harder fights, but more rewards; the default intensity is 2.0, and selecting other intensities requires some [[Gold (collectible)|gold]], with each .1 increment costing the player a set number of gold depending on the intensity. The system is identical to the {{s|icaruspedia|Fiend's Cauldron}} intensity system from [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s previous game, ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}'', and it even uses the same titles. | ||
Selecting an intensity lower than 2.0 also costs gold, with the amount increasing per decrement. | Selecting an intensity lower than 2.0 also costs gold, with the amount increasing per decrement. | ||
