'''Target Smash!!''' ({{ja|ターゲットをこわせ!!|Tāgetto wo Kowase!!}}, '''Break the Targets!!'''), known as '''Break the Targets!''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and '''Target Test''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', is a mini-game appearing in the first four installments of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. The goal of the game is to smash all 10 targets scattered throughout a special arena as quickly as possible.

Each character in ''SSB'' has their own target test. Mario's and Donkey Kong's stages resemble the construction girders from the original ''{{b|Donkey Kong|game}}'', while Luigi's resembles the layout of the ''Mario Bros.'' arcade game. Yoshi, Pikachu, and Jigglypuff use light-coloured blocks with grass; futuristic characters use grey metal; and everyone else uses bricks. All target tests utilize the unique abilities of their character. For example, {{SSB|Mario}}'s requires him to use his [[Fireball]] to smash at least one target.

In ''Melee'', like ''SSB'', every character has their own Target Test. Target Tests often require use of character-specific techniques, for example, {{SSBM|Ness}} is required to use his [[PK Thunder]] in order to complete the test. Some characters' Target Tests reference locations in their own series, such as the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}' Target Test resembling the levels in [[Ice Climber (game)|their game]], and {{SSBM|Mario}} and {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}}'s target test loosely resembling the setting of ''Donkey Kong''. Some stages even include images, symbols, or other characters from the character's game (such as the [[Triforce]] appearing in Zelda/Sheik's stage and the [[Condor]] at the top of the Ice Climbers' stage). Like with the original ''Smash Bros.'', the level design may include motifs based on the character's archetype - for example, characters affiliated with royalty may feature Greek columns, and futuristic characters may feature metallic structures.

In Stadium mode, when starting or restarting the stage with a controller in port 1 while holding either {{button|GCN|L}} or {{button|GCN|R}}, a song from the character's universe plays instead of the "Targets" theme. These songs also play for their respective characters during the end [[credits]] and after winning [[Tournament Mode (SSBM)|Tournament mode]].

*{{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}} - Clear Target Test with every other character.

Several changes have been made in ''Brawl'', ranging from minor aesthetic alterations to complete functional changes. Most notably, instead of each character having their own one Target test, there are five generic Target Smash stages of varying difficulty that all characters can play on. Increasing difficulties feature smaller targets and bigger stages, making it both harder to break the targets as well as move from one target to another. The color of the targets also matches the difficulty color. Also, each stage of Target Smash is set to be on a specific stage from [[The Subspace Emissary]].  

This is a simple course, with very large blue targets, all near each other. It appears to be set in [[The Lake Shore]].

{{clr}}

This is somewhat more complex. There are various high cliffs that have green targets at the top. There are also items scattered around the stage. It appears to be set in [[The Wilds]].

{{clr}}

This level is icy, causing players to slip. Most of the orange targets move, often requiring perfect timing to complete fast enough. There is one non-moving target that is very difficult to get, located at the bottom right of the stage, and for some characters, it has to be gotten last. This stage has no items. It appears to be set in [[the Glacial Peak]] or in [[Summit]].

{{clr}}

This is the final Target Smash level. It has small red targets, spikes, springs, items, and moving platforms. It appears to be set in [[The Path to the Ruins]].
