'''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.

The game records the shortest time taken to smash all ten targets. If a character has never smashed all the targets, the game will also record how many targets were smashed in that time. There is also a total time that is kept that includes the cumulative time taken to clear every character's stage, which appears only after all characters have cleared their stage.

In [[1P Game]], during the first [[Bonus Stage]], this mode is announced as '''Bonus (Practice) 1: Break the Targets'''").

*Captain Falcon's target test has a section in the lower right where he can pass through the wall.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI-caTTouA8</ref>

*Repeatedly pausing and unpausing the game can "jam" the timer and allow the player to move the character without the timer displaying any time as having passed. If done perfectly, the player gains up to two frames to input commands between pauses.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfX2KVXlAF4</ref>

*Breaking the last target at the exact moment that the character passes a blast line will result in both the "Complete" and "Failure" graphics displaying on screen. The time for the target test is still recorded when the player hovers over the character's icon on the target test character select screen.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfw38FCCyVg</ref>

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 {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}, during the first Bonus Stage, this mode is announced as '''Break the targets!''' (the exclamation mark is omitted in the PAL version), resembling the original ''Super Smash Bros.''{{'}} name.

 

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.

{{clr}}

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]].  

For a first in [[bonus game]]s, some stages incorporate [[item]]s. As with most [[Stadium]] games in ''Brawl'', Co-op mode is available. Players can now record and save [[replay]] footage of their attempts at completing the mini-game.

Oddly, some moves that do not inflict damage or require a grab to damage foes can affect Targets:

*{{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}'s [[Falcon Dive]] and the grab hitbox of {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}'s [[Dark Dive]] in ''Brawl''

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

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]].

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]].

*Starfy Trophy - Clear Target Smash!! on level 1 with 10 characters.

*{{SSBBMusicLink|Nintendo|Excite Truck}} Music - Clear Target Smash!! level 2 in under 18 seconds.

*Gray Fox Trophy - Clear Target Smash!! level 5 with all characters.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''==

As a stand-alone mini-game, Target Smash has been replaced by [[Target Blast]] in both versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. However, a more traditional '''Target Smash!''' can appear in three variants - easy, medium and hard - behind Challenge [[Door]]s in [[Smash Run]].

*In ''Melee'', an early Target Test stage for {{SSBM|Sheik}} can be accessed though the {{SSBM|debug menu}}. The remnants of the stage, however, consist only of a grey platform and three targets placed to form a triangle. Breaking all three targets ends the match.

*Masahiro Sakurai stated in a [[YouTube]] video that he created Break the Targets! as an indirect tutorial to play the characters in lieu of a proper tutorial mode.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Icl-jMlz1iY Teaching Players How to Play <nowiki>[Design Specifics]</nowiki>]</ref>
