==In competitive play==
Many modes across the ''Smash'' series have developed their own competitive communities over the years. The most popular mode by a wide margin is the Vs. Mode of each game, which forms the basis for each game's tournament scene. While the exact rules and structure vary between games and region, the basic outline involves at least two players picking a character and a legal stage and playing until one is declared the winner. 1v1 games (often referred to as "singles") are the most popular format, but other formats such as 2v2 (often referred to as "doubles"), Squad Strike, and occasionally free for all and Smashdown matches also take place. Games involving Special Smash have also developed a niche competitive scene, with specific rules and conditions gaining popularity in side events.
Single player modes have also developed their own unique communities. Most modes involve the achieving or breaking of some kind of record. Since players do not directly compete with each other in this format, a leaderboard system is often used to track these records. Players will submit their gameplay to the leaderboard for review, where it will be determined if the gameplay is both legitimate and meets all established standards. If it passes, it goes onto the leaderboard. Games that track a [[high score]] like Home-Run Contest and Multi-Man Smash have active communities frequently developing new techniques and strategies to achieve the highest possible score. Modes with a clear end point like All-Star Mode, Classic Mode, Target Smash and Events also have communities that also develop new techniques and strategies to complete the modes in the least possible amount of time, often dubbed a [[speedrun]].
Modes that can be played [[online]] have mostly the same rules as offline, though some differ slightly to account for the different environment. There are often penalties put in place in the event of internet connectivity issues, with contingency plans set up in the case of major catastrophes. Some communities require certain modes to be played offline with official hardware, as playing online often means using emulators and unverified hardware, which brings the possibility of inconsistent gameplay and cheating.
==Trivia==
*In the Japanese version of ''Melee'', the Main Menu is instead named ''Top Menu''. Additionally, it [[Beta elements (SSBM)#Beta menus|was originally going to be named ''Top Menu'']] in English as well, but the final version of the game reverts the name back to Main Menu.
**''Ultimate'' uses the name ''Top Menu'' in English, under the Dashboard's "Back to Top Menu" option.
*Masahiro Sakurai stated in a [[YouTube]] video that he created ''[[Break the Targets!]]'' as an indirect tutorial to play the characters in lieu of a proper tutorial mode.
