'''Multi-Man-Mode'''  ({{ja|組み手}} ''Kumi-te'', '''Group Combat''') is a mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as Multi-Man Melee, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as Multi-Man Brawl, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' as Multi-Man Smash. This mode pits the player against multiple consecutive foes, challenging them to defeat as many of them as possible while under various pretenses. While the player has only one stock, the enemy team often has a low [[artificial intelligence]] level and lacks the ability to perform special moves or grab ledges, and usually have reduced values of varying properties that allow them to get [[knockback|knocked back]] easily. Multi-Man Melee is a single-player endeavor, whereas Multi-Man Brawl allows for two-player [[Co-op mode#Target Smash, Home-Run Contest, and Multi-Man Brawl|co-op]] locally or over [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], and Multi-Man Smash allows for two-player co-op locally in {{for3ds}} and up to four players locally in {{forwiiu}}.

Multi-Man mode originates from the [[1P Game#Stage_10:_Fighting_Polygon_Team|10th stage]] of the [[1P Game]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', which takes place on [[Battlefield (SSB)|Battlefield]] and pits the player against 30 [[Fighting Polygon Team|Fighting Polygons]], which are purple polyhedrons modeled after all 12 characters in the game. These enemies lack the ability to [[grab]] or perform [[special move]]s, and have reduced power, [[weight]], and tendency to shield or dodge attacks, all of which change accordingly with the set difficulty. Later games vary in [[enemy team]]s: in ''Melee'' the [[Fighting Wire Frames]], in ''Brawl'' the [[Fighting Alloy Team]], and in ''SSB4'' the [[Fighting Mii Team]]. In ''Melee'', players face up to five Wire Frames at once. In ''Brawl'', player face up to five Alloys at once in both single-player and co-op modes. In ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'', players face up to four Mii Fighters in single-player mode and up to three Mii Fighters at once in co-op mode, and in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' up to five Mii Fighters at once in single-player mode and up to four Mii Fighters at once in multiplayer mode.

==List of Multi-Man Modes==
[[File:MultiManBrawl.png|thumb|{{SSBB|Sonic}} fights in the 100-Man Brawl mode.]]
*[[10-Man mode|'''10-Man''']] - challenges the player to defeat ten opponents. This is the shortest of all Multi-Man challenges, usually taking between 10 and 20 seconds to complete for an amateur player, though world records are all within roughly 6 and 7 seconds.
*[[100-Man mode|'''100-Man''']] - challenges the player to defeat one hundred opponents. This usually takes a few minutes for players to clear, and can get quite difficult on higher difficulties, when the option exists. The final Wire Frame to be fought will always sustain noticeably less knockback than the others.
*[[3-Minute mode|'''3-Minute''']] - challenges the player to defeat as many opponents as possible within 3 minutes.
*[[15-Minute mode|'''15-Minute''']] ('''''Melee''''' and '''''Brawl''''' only) - challenges the player to defeat as many opponents as possible within 15 minutes. Foes get stronger as time passes by. Despite the difficulty, simple strategies such as [[spamming]] a certain move or evading the opponents altogether will suffice.
*[[Endless mode|'''Endless''']] - challenges the player to defeat as many opponents as possible before being [[KO]]'d themselves. It has no time limit, nor does it have a knock-out limit, unlike other Multi-Man challenges, and as such can go on for an infinite amount of time.
*[[Cruel mode|'''Cruel''']] - challenges the player to defeat as many opponents as possible, which now have high handicaps and increased aggressiveness, before being knocked out themselves. It is unarguably the most challenging Multi-Man challenge, as the opponents faced are immensely harder than those who appear in the other modes, and no items appear.
*[[Rival mode|'''Rival''']] ('''''SSB4''''' only) - challenges one player to defeat more opponents than their Rival (a clone of their character) before they are themselves defeated in an otherwise endless match. Rivals respawn after being KO'd. The player's final score is equal to the difference of number of opponents they and their Rival defeated.

==Enemy teams==
*'''[[Fighting Wire Frames]]''' ('''''Melee''''') - purple-colored male and female wireframe humanoids. [[Fighting Wire Frames#Male Wire Frame.2FCaptain Falcon|Male Wire Frames]] are based on {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}, while the [[Fighting Wire Frames#Female Wire Frame.2FZelda|Female Wire Frames]] are based on {{SSBM|Zelda}}. They cannot charge smash attacks, and despite being based on Captain Falcon and Zelda, their attacks also have no [[Flame|fire]], [[Electric|electric]], or [[Magic|magic]] effects.
*'''[[Fighting Alloy Team]]''' ('''''Brawl''''') - metallic fighters based on four characters in the game. Red alloys are based on {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}, Blue Alloys are based on {{SSBB|Zelda}} and {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}, Yellow Alloys are based on {{SSBB|Mario}}, and Green Alloys are based on {{SSBB|Kirby}} and {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}. Despite being based on Zelda, Blue Alloys lack [[magic]] and [[fire]] attack effects. They cannot grab items nor receive [[giant]], [[tiny]] or [[flower]] status effects. Every 25th opponent fought is spawned as a character, and the final opponent is a [[Alternate costume (SSBB)|palette swap]] of the player's character.
*'''[[Mii Fighter|Fighting Mii Team]]''' ('''''SSB4''''') - [[Mii Fighter (SSB4)|Mii Fighters]] wearing black jumpsuits with a white "M" letter printed on its anterior and two white "i" letters around their limbs. Their facial appearances are culled from Miis saved on the player's console, or from pre-loaded/guest Miis if there aren't enough. Despite this, their height and weight are uniform. They can [[recover]] by [[footstool jump]]ing off each other despite not being able to attack each other otherwise. Every 50th opponent fought is spawned as a [[giant]] character, and the final opponent in 100-Man Smash is a giant version of the player's character.

==Items==
For balancing reasons, certain items do not spawn in Multi-Man Melee and Multi-Man Brawl, and only a select few appear in Multi-Man Smash.  Items do not spawn in ''Cruel'' mode.

*'''Multi-Man Melee''' - all items except for [[Hammer]]s, [[Heart Container]]s, [[Food]], and [[Containers]] (except for [[Capsule]]s). Capsules are explosive and [[Poké Balls]] cannot spawn Legendary Pokémon.
*'''Multi-Man Brawl''' - all items except for [[Hammer]]s, [[Heart Container]]s, [[Food]], [[Golden Hammer]]s, [[Dragoon Parts]], [[Sandbag]], [[Containers]] (except for [[Capsule]]s), and [[Smash Balls]]. Capsules are explosive and [[Poké Balls]] cannot spawn Legendary Pokémon.
*'''Multi-Man Smash''' - in the following set order, these select items float by on a platform every 30 seconds: [[POW Block]]s, [[Ray Gun]]s, [[Smart Bomb]]s and [[Killer Eye]]s.

==Appearances in other modes==
*In ''Super Smash Bros.'', Stage 10 of 1P Mode is a Multi-man match against a [[Fighting Polygon Team]] of 30; while this existed prior to the "Multi-Man" moniker, the term is applied retroactively to this scenario due to the similarity between the two modes.
*In ''Melee'', the first part of the [[Adventure Mode#Stage 11: Battlefield|Battlefield]] stage in ''Melee''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Adventure Mode]] is a Multi-Man match against 15 Fighting Wire Frames.
*In ''Melee'', the [[Event Match]] called [[Event 37: Legendary Pokémon|Legendary Pokémon]] is a Multi-Man match with reduced [[gravity]] against four giant Fighting Wire Frames and a red [[Jigglypuff (SSBM)|Jigglypuff]]. Legendary Pokémon and [[Wobbuffet]] spawn from Poké Balls.
*In ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'', a special Multi-Man match can occur as a final battle in [[Smash Run]], where the Mii Fighters along with [[metal]] and giant metal versions of the player character appear.
*In ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'', round 5 in {{SSB4-3DS|Classic Mode}} is a Multi-Man match against 10 opponents, either of a certain character or the Fighting Mii Team. Items spawn normally.
*In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', round 6 in {{SSB4-Wii U|Classic Mode}} is a Multi-Man match against a [[Fighting Mii Team]] of 20, with five appearing on-screen at a time. Items spawn normally.

==Trivia==
[[File:SSB4 Giant Yoshi Glitch (Multiplayer).jpg|thumb|The [[Egg Lay]] glitch in Multiplayer Multi-Man Smash (3DS)]]
*Multi-man mode allows for more characters on-screen than are normally allowed under normal circumstances. ''Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'' cap at [[6-player battle|six]] and ''Brawl'' caps at seven. In ''Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'', one must play with a full compliment of human players to achieve these caps.
*The weight of each member of every enemy team matches Mario's, with the exception of the Female Wire Frame in ''Melee'', whose weight matches that of {{SSBM|Zelda}}.
*Clearing ''100-Man mode'' for the first time gives the player the opportunity to unlock a character; [[Falco]] in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' and [[Wario]] in ''SSB4''.
*The Fighting Mii Team cannot wear hats, nor change their facial expressions.
*Since the Fighting Mii Team has varied head shapes, when they get inflicted with the [[flower]] ailment, it sprouts from the their necks rather than their heads.
*Prior to version 1.0.4, a glitch in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'' allowed players to use [[Egg Lay]] repeatedly to increase the size of giant opponents.
*The final boss of the eShop game ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Fighters Deluxe}}'', Team DDD, is modeled after Multi-Man mode, consisting of 61 Mini Dededes, two medium-sized Combo Dededes, and [[King Dedede]] himself.
