'''Target Blast''' ({{ja|スマッシュボンバー}}, ''Smash Bomber'') is a gameplay mode that appears in the [[Stadium]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. The player is tasked with inflicting damage to a bomb on a special platform, then launching it into a structure composed of various blocks, filled with [[Target]]s and other rewards. The bomb starts at ten seconds and once the player attacks or touches it, the clock will start. When hit with a powerful attack, the bomb is sent flying, after which its regular trajectory will destroy most objects in its path; after ten seconds have passed in the mode, the bomb will then explode, destroying any objects around it, as well as potentially starting physics-based chain reactions due to the blocks around the bomb being dislodged. As a result of this, much of the strategy in Target Blast comes from deciding on when the bomb should be sent. It is also possible to earn trophies and custom parts. The Wii U version has three stages, while the 3DS version has only one.

Players have two attempts to send the bomb flying, and the score is based on the combined score of both attempts. In {{for3ds}}, the two bombs are the same size, but in {{forwiiu}}, the second bomb is bigger. If the player fails to send the bomb out of the specialized platform before the time runs out, they will receive a score of zero for the run. Breaking all fourteen red targets awards the player with an additional 30,000 points.

The scores in this mode are used as part of [[Global Smash Power]].

*Playing Target Blast for the first time adds the possibility of [[Xerneas]] appearing in a [[Poke Ball]].

*Destroying all the red targets grants the player the Steampunk Outfit.

*Playing Target Blast with all characters grants the player the Dark Train trophy.

*Getting a combined total score of 2,000,000 grants the player the King Bob-omb trophy.

*Scoring at least 80,000 points in a single game of Solo Target Blast Stage 2 as {{SSB4|Palutena}} while using the back wall grants ''In the Space-Pirate Ship'' music.

*Scoring at least 150,000 points in a single game of Target Blast on Stage 1 unlocks ''[[Peanut Popgun|Exploding Popgun]]'' custom move for {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}}.

*Scoring at least 200,000 points in a single game of Target Blast Stage 2 unlocks ''[[Fire Hydrant|Dire Hydrant]]'' custom move for {{SSB4|Pac-Man}}.

*The explosions of the bomb used in Target Blast has well over enough power to [[OHKO]] in normal conditions. It also completely fills {{SSB4|Little Mac}}'s [[Power Meter]] instantly.

*In a [[List of Director's Room Miiverse posts|Pic of the Day]] on [[Miiverse]], [[Masahiro Sakurai]] mistakenly refers to Target Blast as [[Target Smash]], a mode that is not available in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

*This minigame bears resemblance to the popular mobile game Angry Birds, where the focus is to topple buildings and destroy target enemies through the use of projectiles launched from a distance.
