'''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.

The setting appears for all games' [[Classic Mode]]s (including ''Smash 64'''s [[1P Game]]), [[Adventure Mode]], [[Subspace Emissary]], [[All-Star Mode]] and [[World of Light]]. 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, as with ''Ultimate'' on its Classic Mode. | The setting appears for all games' [[Classic Mode]]s (including ''Smash 64'''s [[1P Game]]), [[Adventure Mode]], [[Subspace Emissary]], [[All-Star Mode]] and [[World of Light]].

Traditional difficulty settings are found on 1 player modes, but only in the first 3 installments (except for [[All Star]] in [[Smash 4]]). In [[Smash 64]], [[Melee]], and [[Brawl]], there are five difficulty settings. The color for the lowest difficulty is blue, the one for the second difficulty is green, the one for the third is yellow, the one for the fourth is orange, and the one for the fifth and highest difficulty is red. | |||

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 (which is free to start), and selecting other intensities requires some [[Gold (collectible)|gold]], with each 0.1 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. | Difficulty levels were significantly overhauled in ''Smash 4''.

The game's [[All-Star Mode]] and [[Event Match]]es, however, use the traditional difficulties, though only three are available: Easy, Normal, and Hard. Unlike in ''Brawl'', however, the colors for Normal and Hard are yellow and red, respectively. | The game's [[All-Star Mode]] and [[Event Match]]es, however, use the traditional difficulties, though only three are available: Easy, Normal, and Hard.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the intensity can no longer be initially increased past 5.0 in Classic Mode; however, the intensity can increase depending on the player's performance in each round. The more the intensity racks up, the more of the mural is shown. The intensity scale's effect on bosses will depend on certain characters. For example, {{SSBU|Fox}} can only fight Crazy Hand if he's able to get the intensity high enough, but for characters like {{SSBU|Mario}} or {{SSBU|Simon}}, who have a different boss other than Master and Crazy Hand, the intensity will not add any additional bosses. Traditional difficulty settings can be found in the game's Adventure Mode: World of Light: Easy, Normal and Hard, with update 4.0.0 adding a Very Easy setting. (Hard | In ''Super Smash Bros.

Very Easy (found in the update of 4.0.0) uses the purple difficulty. | ||
