Editing VR

Upon selecting the icon, a warning label will appear. It states that an adult should read it before proceeding. The VR goggles should only be used when seated, the player must be mindful of their surroundings at all times, and frequent breaks should be taken to avoid eye strain, fatigue and motion sickness. The mode should also be restricted for players age six and under. After clicking the OK button, the game instructs to insert the switch into the headset, though the remaining steps can technically be done without the headset. The screen then switches to two smaller screens, each with a fish eye lens effect. After making sure the goggles work and pressing the OK button, the goggles must be held still, preferably on a flat surface for calibration. When the process is complete and the OK button is pressed, the setup is finished and the camera now follows the head movements of the player. If the goggles are put down or become uncalibrated for any reason, a special screen that says to reset the direction appears. It goes away by either returning to the original positon or pressing the right control stick.

The first screen is a special rules page, where elements like time limit, CPU level, stage selection, launch rate, score display, and show damage can be adjusted. Only offline timed matches (can be set from 1:00 to 10:00) can be played in this mode. Items and Final Smashes are disabled. After making the rules, the stage selection screen is next. 59 stages are currently selectable in this mode, with 12 of them having support for full 360° camera movement. The other 47 stage will pop up a message to recalibrate the goggles when taken outside the camera parameters. The next screen is character selection, where the player decides who plays as what fighter. Every player slot is automatically assigned a CPU. However, the player can join the battle themselves by changing the first CPU to Player 1.

During a match where the player is fighting, they can access camera controls in the pause menu. They can zoom in with the [[ZL button]] and zoom out with the [[ZR button]]. The in game effects disappear after zooming in enough. The player can pan around the stage with the left control stick, reset the camera by pressing the right control stick, and hide the display by clicking both the [[X button]] and down on the d-pad. The ability to rotate the camera with the right analog stick is removed, as the function is now tied to the switch gyroscope, and the movement of the player's head by extension. All other camera controls and features are disabled. If the player is spectating, the features are always available and the camera controls option in the pause menu is removed. The ''Move List'' and ''Connect Controller'' options in the pause menu are also removed in this mode.

"*" indicates that the stage can be viewed in 360°.

*Moving the camera so that it faces behind the stage is impossible on stages that do not support 360° view; the screen simply fades to black, with a message telling the player to reset the camera's direction. Though, it is possible to see the void behind where the camera normally is if the player turns the camera just enough to see it where the message does not pop up.
