Editing Target Blast

The [[Target Blast bomb|bomb]]'s 10-second timer starts when the player touches or attacks it. When the bomb is hit with a powerful attack, it is sent flying, destroying most objects in its path. After five seconds, the [[announcer]] will start the countdown just like in a [[Match timer#Final countdown timer|standard Smash with only five seconds remaining]]. When the timer hits zero the bomb explodes, destroying any objects around it, as well as potentially starting physics-based chain reactions due to the blocks around the blast radius being dislodged. As a result of this, much of the strategy in Target Blast comes from deciding when and how the bomb should be launched.

In {{for3ds}} the two bombs are the same size, while in {{forwiiu}} the second bomb is bigger. If the player fails to launch the bomb out of the starting platform before it explodes, the bomb will explode and send the player flying with enough knockback to be [[KO]]'d (or a [[shield break]] if holding up their [[shield]]), before they receive a score of zero for the round. {{forwiiu}} features three separate stages with different layouts, with only the first one being shared with {{for3ds}}. Every session of Target Blast is composed of two rounds, with the final score being the combined score of both rounds. The player may choose to retry the first round by pressing B, or move on to the second round for an even higher score. The scores in this mode are used as part of [[Global Smash Power]].

Breaking all 15 red targets (27 in Stage 2 and 23 in Stage 3) awards the player with a Perfect! If this occurs in the first round, the structure will be rebuilt for the second round. [[Trophy]] or [[Custom Part]] targets may randomly replace one of the red targets, and destroying them yields the indicated reward.

Each type has a point value associated with it.

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

*The explosion 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]] and {{SSB4|Cloud}}'s [[Limit Charge|Limit Meter]], and is capable of instantly breaking full shields (including {{SSB4|Shulk}}'s shield when boosted by the Shield [[Monado Arts|Monado Art]]), indicating it internally deals at least 100% damage.

*Target Blast resembles the popular mobile game ''{{s|wikipedia|Angry Birds}}'' (which would eventually be bought by [[Sega]]), where the focus is to topple buildings and destroy the Bad Piggies dispersed throughout the stage by launching round birds as projectiles from a distance. The bomb functions similarly to Bomb (aka Black Bird), who explodes either when the player taps the screen or after a set amount of time passes after he touches an object/a piggy.

*In {{for3ds}}, attacks that usually cause a "screen-shaking" effect will not shake the screen while in the Target Blast stadium. The same goes for the [[Home-Run Contest]] stadium.
