'''Special Smash''' is a term that refers to several types of [[versus mode]]s available in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{forwiiu}}, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. These modes see players manually adjusting the conditions of a match beyond the standard [[rules]] to unconventional, potentially broken and often humorous results. The point of these modes are to allow players to be more creative with how the game is played in a fun, non-competitive environment. 

Although it has no appearance in {{for3ds}}, many of the Final Battles in [[Smash Run]] enable one of the options seen in Special Smash; additionally, voice clip 86 of the [[announcer]] in the [[Sound Test]] is of him saying "Special Smash", which may indicate cut or planned content. In all iterations through ''Ultimate'', battles played in Special Smash do not count for statistics or the completion of some [[challenges]].

==Modes==
===Special Melee===
In ''Melee'', Special mode is only played with one special condition at a time.
* [[Camera|Camera Mode]]
* [[Stamina Mode]]
* [[Super Sudden Death]]
* [[Super Mushroom|Giant Melee]]
* [[Poison Mushroom|Tiny Melee]]
* [[Clear|Invisible Melee]]
* Fixed Camera
* Single-Button Mode, where the [[Control Stick]] and [[A button]] are the only accepted inputs
* Lightning Melee
* [[Gameplay speed|Slo-Mo Melee]]

===Special Brawl/Special Smash/Custom Smash===
Unlike ''Melee''{{'}}s Special mode, where only one special condition could be played at any time, Special Brawl {{GameIcon|SSBB}}, Special Smash {{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}, and Custom Smash {{GameIcon|SSBU}} allow several options to be applied at the same time. It is also possible to play without any options enabled, creating a normal match where statistics are not recorded.
* Stamina{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}: [[Super Sudden Death|300%]]/[[Stamina Mode|Stamina]] 
* Size: [[Super Mushroom|Mega]]/[[Poison Mushroom|Mini]]
* Head: [[Lip's Stick|Flower]]/[[Bunny Hood|Bunny]]
* Body: [[Metal Box|Metal]]{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}/[[Clear]]{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}/[[Super Leaf|Tail]]{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}/[[Rocket Belt]]{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}/[[Screw Attack (item)|Screw Attack]]{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}/[[Back Shield]]{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}
* Status: [[Superspicy Curry|Curry]]/[[Franklin Badge|Reflect]]
* Gravity: [[Special Gravity|Light/Heavy]]
* Speed: [[Slow motion|Slow]]/[[Fast]]
* Camera: Fixed/Angled

In ''Ultimate'', the term "Special Smash" is not used for the mode itself, but for a sub-menu containing Custom Smash and the new mode [[Smashdown]]. Stamina is now a standard rule option, and [[Super Sudden Death]] has moved to an expanded standalone mode, also located in the Special Smash menu. Unlike the other modes in Special Smash, it's impossible to play Custom Smash on custom stages or with more than 4 players at a time, though both it and Super Sudden Death can be played on local wireless. Additionally, most effects from Custom Smash can be emulated, though limited, by using [[spirit]]s.

==Trivia==
*While Special Smash is not available in online play, prior to [[List_of_updates_(SSB4)/1.0.8_changelog|version 1.0.8]] a glitch in {{forwiiu}} allowed playing online matches with friends under Special Smash settings.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz8m2GflaNI</ref>
*In Giant/Tiny Melee, though the effects upon collecting a Super/Poison Mushroom respectively will further intensify, the character's pitch will remain the same. In ''Brawl'' onward, pitch further lowers/raises.
*The largest a character can be under normal circumstances is in Mega Smash, after a [[Lightning]] backfire. In this state, all size-altering effects are at their strongest, including character voices and sound effects being even deeper than collecting a [[Super Mushroom]] in Mega Smash, or after a Lightning backfire in a normal match.
**This could be visually amplified even further with [[Mario]]’s size-altering taunt prior to ''Ultimate''.
**The same applies to collecting a [[Poison Mushroom]] or Lightning Bolt (both shrinking to the same size) in Mini Smash.
*Similar to [[Training Mode]], in Fast/Slow Smash, the pitch of some [[Final Smash]]es (such as [[Puff Up]], [[Mega Legends]], [[NES Zapper Posse]], and [[Shulk]]'s grunt during the final hit of [[Chain Attack]]) will be altered. The sound effects of some attacks striking stage hazards may also be affected (i.e. hitting [[Yellow Devil]] with [[Rest]]).
**Stage sounds will also be higher pitched in Fast Smash, but will quiet down on slower speeds.
*If the game speed is changed in ''Ultimate'', {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}}'s smash attacks will be glitched and have double the amount of hitboxes.
**If any of these hitboxes are interrupted at the right time, a [[hitbox]] will be spawned at that location. This hitbox has the damage output and knockback angle of the hitbox that was interrupted, and will activate with any attack regardless of Duck Hunt's location except for [[neutral attack]], which instead will despawn it.
