A '''score''' is a measurement of performance in the form of earned points, metric tallying such as distance traveled, or time to task completion. In game [[modes]] that determine success using scores, the success is always relative rather than conditional - that is, how much, how well, or how quickly a task is executed is more important than reaching an arbitrary benchmark, such as the number of [[stock]]s removed in traditional [[stock]] [[versus]] matches. | A '''score''' is a measurement of performance in the form of earned points, metric tallying such as distance traveled, or time to task completion.

Nearly every game mode features scores, even those that do not use them to determine victory or success. Some scores accumulate, such as the total distance each [[character]] has hit [[Sandbag]] in the [[Home-Run Contest]] [[minigame]], the various [[records]] such as total number of matches played, and the total number of stocks removed during stock match sessions in ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Brawl]]'' (in the form of [[KO Stars]]). Most scores are persistent and can be found in saved game data. There are a few utilities, such as BrawlStats{{ref|Utilities1}}, that allow the player to keep track of additional scores or see data not revealed in the game. | Nearly every game mode features scores, even those that do not use them to determine victory or success.

In ''Brawl'', several single player modes that determine success using scores also optionally allow a second player to participate. Reaching certain scores in a game mode may trigger a congratulations [[notice]] or [[unlockable|reward]]. | ||
