| | '''Tips''' are short blurbs of information that appear in both versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. These tips appear in two different locations - their own specialized menu in the [[Vault]], or on the loading screens of the game. Some tips are shared between the two versions of ''Smash 4'', while others are not. A few contain incorrect information due to [[update|patches]] changing the game without updating any of the tips. |

| |
| *'''3D Land: Protruding Rocks''' – The mountain range partway through the stage has rocks sticking out from it. The platform tilts and pushes fighters, so watch out!
| |
| *'''3D Land: Rotating Platforms''' – This rotating platform may seem like a good place to fight, but it'll toss anyone who's still on it when it rotates!
| |
| *'''3D Land: Shrinking and Growing Pipes''' – Pipes that shrink and grow will appear throughout the stage. Time your jumps so you don't fall down!
| |
| *'''3D Land: Spike Pillars''' – Spike Pillars will pop out of the ocean at random. They can break lifts and deal a lot of damage to unlucky fighters. | |
| *'''Arena Ferox''' – Four types of platforms appear on this stage. Some of them can be destroyed! The statues too!
| |
| *'''Balloon Fight''' – This stage loops back on itself if you run to the left or right. However, getting launched can still KO you.
| |
| *'''Balloon Fight''' – Beware the fish lurking beneath those pixelated waves—they'll surface and try to get a mouthful of Smash Bros. fighter.
| |
| *'''Boxing Ring''' – Use the ropes around the ring to jump high into the air. These ropes let fighters who have no ups reach the lights overhead!
| |
| *'''Boxing Ring''' – Reach those lights hanging above the ring! Damage them enough and they'll come crashing down, launching anyone caught beneath them.
| |
| *'''Distant Planet''' – The Red Bulborb will appear on the right, opening its mouth and looking for food. Being eaten by the Red Bulborb counts as a KO.
| |
| *'''Distant Planet''' – The slanted hill on the left side of the stage will flood with water when it rains. The strong current can sweep you off the edge. Watch out!
| |
| *'''Distant Planet''' – The objects labeled with numbers that blossom in the center of the flowers are called Pellets. Bigger numbers deal more damage when thrown.
| |
| *'''Distant Planet''' – Occasionally you might see Onions fly by. Hit them with Pellets to get items!
| |
| *'''Find Mii''' – The Dark Emperor is capable of destroying the platforms in this stage. There are only two, so watch out! | |
| *'''Find Mii''' – The faster you can rescue the Mii trapped in the cage, the faster the Dark Emperor will leave the battle.
| |
| *'''Find Mii''' – The Dark Emperor uses random magic during the battle. What effect his magic will have is displayed on the bottom screen.
| |
| *'''Flat Zone 2: Chef''' – You can launch the Chef off the stage by continuously hitting him. Once the Chef is gone, the stage will change to a new scene.
| |
| *'''Flat Zone 2: Fire''' – If you leave items on the ground, a diver might appear and take them away.
| |
| *'''Gerudo Valley''' – Sometimes the wooden bridge will break if you stand on it or attack it. It's a flimsy bridge and will break over time, too. | |
| *'''Golden Plains''' – Collect 100 coins and you'll turn to gold! You'll become generally more powerful and won't flinch at all.
| |
| *'''Golden Plains''' – Touch the red ring to make eight red coins appear. One red coin is worth five regular coins!
| |
| *'''Golden Plains''' – The scalelike platforms will tilt and fall if there is no one on the other side. Get two fighters on there to see who weighs more!
| |
| *'''Golden Plains''' – Step on the P Switch (or just hit it) to make blue coins appear. They won't stay around for long, so look lively!
| |
| *'''Green Hill Zone''' – The object with the blue ball on top is called a Point Marker. A Point Marker will twirl when the ball is hit, dealing damage to anyone too close.
| |
| *'''Jungle Japes''' – The river below the stage flows very quickly, so don't fall in! Try to knock foes into it instead!
| |
| *'''Living Room''' – Five different kinds of puppies appear in the background. The breed will change randomly. Sometimes a kitten will appear instead!
| |
| *'''Living Room''' – The falling blocks are really painful if they land on you. Avoid damage by watching the shadows and moving before the blocks land. | |
| *'''Magicant''' – Flying Man will fight alongside the first person who touches him. Get to him before anyone else has a chance!
| |
| *'''Magicant''' – There are only five Flying Men. If all five are defeated, no more will appear in the battle.
| |
| *'''Magicant''' – A giant tomato or iron octopus will fall into the clouds, slowly sinking in until it falls out the other side.
| |
| *'''Magicant''' – Standing on a giant tomato or an iron octopus will cause it to sink through the clouds faster.
| |
| *'''Mute City''' – This fight takes place on F-Zero machines in the middle of a race! Falling onto the course will hurt and send you flying through the air!
| |
| *'''PAC-MAZE''' – Collect 100 Pac-Dots, and a Power Pellet will appear just for you. You can destroy ones that appear for your rivals, too!
| |
| *'''Paper Mario''' – Watch out for the gigantic fan on the part of the stage that is on land. It's much easier to be launched to the right when it spins! | |
| *'''Paper Mario''' – Bowser's metal face will appear and spin in the sky. If his eyes turn red, it's a good time to run!
| |
| *'''Paper Mario''' – A Big Blooper will appear on the ocean stage. Don't worry—it won't attack. It will rock the ship, though, generating some waves.
| |
| *'''PictoChat 2''' – The stage changes as the background changes. Adjust your tactics depending on the drawing shown in the background.
| |
| *'''Rainbow Road''' – Sometimes Shy Guys drive by in karts. There is plenty of warning before the Shy Guys cruise by.
| |
| *'''Rainbow Road''' – The floor of the tunnel rotates; don't get caught standing in one spot, or you'll be sent flying off the screen!
| |
| *'''Spirit Train''' – If Link or Toon Link is busy in the battle, Alfonzo will handle being the train's conductor.
| |
| *'''Spirit Train''' – The Spirit Train can have several different cabooses. It could be Linebeck's shop, a coal car, a steel-frame car, or other cars!
| |
| *'''Spirit Train''' – Keep an eye on the black smoke from the Dark Train! It will jump before exploding, landing in a random place on the stage.
| |
| *'''Spirit Train''' – The Armored Train is pointy in front and will try to push the train you are on off the stage. Don't get pushed off during their conflict!
| |
| *'''Spirit Train''' – This train travels left at extremely high speed. You'll need more luck than any one fighter has if you want to survive falling off the back.
| |
| *'''Tomodachi Life''' – Normally, only rooms that fighters are currently in will be visible. If you throw an X Bomb, though, a lot will be revealed!
| |
| *'''Tomodachi Life''' – The apartments and the Mii characters living in them will change every time you play. You might even see your friends!
| |
| *'''Tortimer Island ''' – The shallow waters around the island are home to some vicious sharks. They'll swim close and try to make a meal of an unsuspecting fighter.
| |
| *'''Tortimer Island ''' – Kapp'n's boat will sail out to sea after some time has passed. Disembark before he sails you off the stage!
| |
| *'''Tortimer Island ''' – Durians and coconuts have no healing power, but sometimes they can explode when thrown.
| |
| *'''Tortimer Island ''' – Beehives will occasionally fall from the trees. Unless you like swarms of bees attacking you, be careful not to hit those beehives...
| |
| *'''Unova Pokémon League''' – Stairs will appear and connect to N's Castle. The stairs will make the stage larger—change up your tactics with this new space!
| |

| |
| *'''Unova Pokémon League''' – Reshiram and Zekrom will attack when they appear on this stage. You might see some other Pokémon, too!
| |
| *'''Unova Pokémon League''' – Reshiram's Fusion Flare move will unleash a burst of flames and then destroy the stairs, so be careful!
| |
| *'''Unova Pokémon League''' – Zekrom, the Dragon/Electric-type Legendary Pokémon, charges in using Fusion Bolt, which breaks the stairs or leaves platforms askew.
| |
| *'''WarioWare, Inc.''' – When the microgame starts, follow the instructions to get items or other bonuses!
| |
| *'''Wily Castle ''' – The Yellow Devil explodes when defeated, which counts as your attack if you defeated it. Use this to KO other fighters!
| |
| *'''Yoshi's Island''' – Shy Guys sometimes appear from the sky, carrying yummy food. Attack them to make them drop their tasty snacks!
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Items===
| | {{clr}} |
| Item-based tips document items, Pokémon, and Assist Trophies.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Ashley''' – A dark field will appear around Ashley. Any foes inside the field will move more slowly and take continuous damage.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Ashley''' – Unless you summoned Ashley, eating food while within her dark field will cause damage instead of healing it. It's Pit's worst nightmare!
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Ashley''' – Ashley causes an effect at random. She'll make attacks miss, limit movement, flip the controls, or bury, shrink, or make invisible all the fighters.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Chain Chomp''' – If a Chain Chomp falls off the stage, it'll just jump straight back up!
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Chain Chomp''' – If a platform that can break is broken with one of these chained to it, the Chain Chomp will fall off the stage, as well.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Chain Chomp''' – A Chain Chomp's chomp will deal more damage than just touching one. Be careful, though; even chained up, they've got a long range.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Color TV-Game 15''' – The paddles that appear to the left and right will try to keep a ball in play. You'll take damage and be launched if you touch them.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Dark Samus''' – This energy-based life-form looks a lot like Samus. Dark Samus fires homing missiles and rapid-fire rounds at fighters on the stage.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Dark Samus''' – Dark Samus can be defeated by dealing enough damage. However, anyone who gets too close to her may receive a burst of Phazon energy.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Devil''' – The Devil will begin pointing in various directions, and the stage will shift that way. If you get slid off the screen, you'll get KO'd!
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Dillon''' – Watch out! This armadillo will attack without fear. His Arma-Charge is super powerful, so get to dodging if you see him spinning up!
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Dr. Kawashima''' – Numbers will fly in from off-screen. Attack them to make them change direction.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Elec Man''' – Elec Man will move swiftly across the stage, firing Thunder Beam at fighters. A hit from this attack will leave a fighter stunned for a time.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Elec Man''' – Attacking Elec Man will make him flinch, but you'll have to launch him off the screen if you want to stop his lightning attacks.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Ghirahim''' – Ghirahim moves gracefully through the battle, using swords and knives. He can't be defeated—he'll simply teleport back if you launch him.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Ghirahim''' – Ghirahim will use a dash attack at foes straight ahead. He moves swiftly—making it hard to dodge—and strikes hard enough to launch you.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Ghosts''' – Blinky, Inky, Pinky, and Clyde will all appear on the stage! They each have their own movement patterns and will hurt opponents who touch them.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Ghosts''' – Blinky will always take the quickest route to a foe. Inky, meanwhile, prefers to move randomly in a direction opposite the foe.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Ghosts''' – Pinky will try to catch her target out by getting in front and ambushing them. Clyde doesn't have a target—he just does whatever he likes.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Hammer Bro''' – Hammer Bros. won't move from side to side, so you can move around them and out of range.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Isabelle''' – Isabelle is here to support whichever fighter summoned her into the battle. She'll throw healing fruit that's used just by touching it.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Isabelle''' – Isabelle cares how the fight is going! If the fighter who summoned her gets a KO, she'll be happy! She'll flinch if the fighters get close.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Isabelle''' – Isabelle will do her best to throw the fruit she brought to the fighter who summoned her. This doesn't mean other fighters can't steal it.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Knuckle Joe''' – A fighter sporting a bandanna. After a rapid-fire attack, Knuckle Joe will unleash Smash Punch or Rising Break, both very powerful moves.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Lakitu''' – Lakitu's Spiny Eggs will have a meteor effect on anyone they hit. Lakitu is perfect for stages that have small platforms.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Lyn''' – Right before she strikes, Lyn will move slightly—this is your cue to dodge and avoid her attack!
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Lyn''' – Lyn is a swordfighter who has perfected her Quick Draw. After she has drawn her sword, she'll attack the nearest opponent.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Midna''' – Watch out for Midna's hand-shaped hair. She'll reach out and grab nearby fighters no matter how badly you wish your shield could stop it.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Midna''' – Midna won't be abandoned in battle—she'll teleport to chase foes. She also uses her teleport to return if she gets launched.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Mother Brain''' – Attack Mother Brain to defeat her! The glass around her will shatter after she fires lasers—that's your chance to strike!
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Mother Brain''' – Mother Brain will fire ring-shaped projectiles called Rinkas from off-screen. These are energy based, so they can be absorbed or reflected.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Mother Brain''' – Mother Brain will send colorful lasers shooting up and down the screen. They can't be absorbed or reflected, so you'll have to just avoid them!
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Mother Brain''' – It's totally fine to use Mother Brain to shield yourself from the attacks of your rivals.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Nightmare''' – When Nightmare has changed from his Power Orb to his true form, the screen will go completely black, obscuring the stage.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Phosphora''' – Phosphora can't be defeated when she arrives on the battlefield, only made to flinch. However, her thunder attacks can be reflected or absorbed.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Phosphora''' – Phosphora will teleport around the stage, dodging attacks and shooting lightning at everyone not fortunate enough to have summoned her.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Saki Amamiya''' – Depending on the location of his target, Saki may shoot or slash with his weapon. The slash is very powerful at close range, so watch out!
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Sheriff''' – Sheriff fires high-speed, powerful shots at fighters. These shots can be reflected, but absorbing them is not an option.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Skull Kid''' – Skull Kid calls on a variety of mystical powers when he appears in the battle. Unfortunately, these powers affect whoever summoned him, too!
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Skull Kid''' – Skull Kid has three different moves: he can reverse the directional inputs, make everyone invisible, or flip the stage upside down.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Starman''' – He will shoot either a PK Beam γ or a PK Beam Ω, stunning fighters. PK Beam γ targets one fighter, but Ω is less discerning.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Starman''' – If you can keep up with his teleporting, Starman can be defeated. Reflecting or absorbing the PK Beams is a good strategy, too.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Tingle''' – Every so often, Tingle will send down a shower of Hammers. Even more rarely, he'll rain Golden Hammers on the battlefield!
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Tingle''' – Tingle may sometimes become engulfed in flames! If this happens, everyone in the battle will suddenly act like they've consumed Superspicy Curry.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Tingle''' – Sometimes Tingle will emerge from the Assist Trophy with a big balloon on his back. He'll rise into the sky, leaving the battle without helping.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Tingle''' – Tingle, a man with a stubby red nose and wearing an entirely green suit, randomly selects one of five different effects when summoned.
| |
| *'''Assist Trophy: Waluigi''' – Luigi's purple-clothed rival. He only ever jumps directly up, so leaping left or right is a good way to avoid him.
| |
| *'''Beetle''' – Attack an incoming Beetle and it'll do a U-turn. Beat the person who threw it at their own game!
| |
| *'''Blast Box''' – This item can be risky, since fire attacks will detonate it straight away. However, it's safe to hit or throw it.
| |
| *'''Boomerang''' – If you time it right and catch this on the way back, it'll deal more damage next time you throw it.
| |
| *'''Boss Galaga''' – If you get caught up in Boss Galaga's tractor beam, you'll be pulled right up off the stage. Wiggle back and forth quickly to escape!
| |
| *'''Boss Galaga''' – It's possible to defeat Boss Galaga! He'll change color as he takes damage. The bluer he gets, the weaker he's becoming!
| |
| *'''Daybreak''' – After completing it, press the attack button to fire a beam. Getting hit before firing it can KO you, so be careful!
| |
| *'''Fairy Bottle''' – This heals your damage by 100...unless you're below 100% at the time, in which case you can't use it.
| |
| *'''Fire Bar''' – Five fireballs are linked to the hilt of this weapon. As you attack with it, the number of fireballs decreases.
| |
| *'''Fire Bar''' – You can use the Fire Bar both at short range and long range. The fireballs at the base of the weapon do the most damage.
| |
| *'''Golden Hammer''' – This sometimes turns into a Squeaky Hammer. It doesn't hurt much, but that sound sure is cute, eh?
| |
| *'''Hocotate Bomb''' – While flying upward, it can hit enemies above it repeatedly and even launch them right off the screen.
| |
| *'''Hocotate Bomb''' – The bomb detonates when it hits the ground. It has a big blast range, but the fighter who launched it is immune.
| |
| *'''Lip's Stick''' – If you're hit by one of these, a flower blooms on your head and slowly does damage. It's so pretty, it's a shame it hurts...
| |
| *'''Lip's Stick''' – Using Lip's Stick to damage a foe will make a flower bloom. The flower grows as you continue to deal damage.
| |
| *'''Master Ball''' – A purple ball with the letter M on it. Unlike a regular Poké Ball, there's almost always a Legendary inside.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Abomasnow''' – Abomasnow's Blizzard move will pull you toward the Pokémon. Once Blizzard ends, Abomasnow will unleash Ice Punch!
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Arceus''' – The attack Gravity will pull fighters out of the air. Anyone caught out beyond the edge will fall straight down.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Bellossom''' – Getting close to it will put you right to sleep! The more damage you've taken, the longer you'll be counting sheep.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Chespin''' – Chespin will use Seed Bomb, causing explosions all around it that deal a large amount of damage to anyone hit by the attack.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Darkrai''' – Its Dark Void move has a strong gravitational pull and puts anyone who touches it to sleep. If you're caught in midair, you'll fall to the ground, sound asleep.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Dedenne''' – Its Discharge attack creates an electrical burst with Dedenne in the center. Fighters caught in this will take multiple hits.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Deoxys''' – Hyper Beam draws in fighters, but it won't hurt for you to launch them toward Deoxys, too.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Eevee''' – Eevee will use Take Down on any fighters nearby. If there aren't any, it'll just stand around looking a bit confused.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Electrode''' – Right before an Electrode explodes, its body goes red and shrinks. That's when you can grab it and throw it at your opponents!
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Entei''' – Fire Spin has a gravitational effect, sucking in anyone who touches it. Once you're trapped in the fiery pillar, it'll do huge damage.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Fennekin''' – Incinerate creates a fire pillar reaching out in front of Fennekin. If it connects, it'll do repeated damage to fighters.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Fletchling''' – Once Fletchling settles on a target, it can be a real pest. Strike while your foes are distracted by this little Pokémon's attacks!
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Gardevoir''' – Gardevoir uses a barrier that reflects projectiles. If you summoned it, your own projectiles won't be affected. Nice!
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Genesect''' – Both Genesect's laser and its Techno Blast can penetrate walls, so all you can do is stay out of its line of sight.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Giratina''' – Giratina launches a massive gust of wind that hits multiple times. Be careful—this move is tough to avoid and can send you off the screen.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Gogoat''' – Gogoat will let you ride on its back. Charge down opponents to deal damage!
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Goldeen''' – If damage was dealt from enthusiasm, then Goldeen would KO everyone with Splash. But it isn't. Not even when Goldeen comes from a Master Ball.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Inkay''' – Inkay's Topsy-Turvy move knocks over nearby fighters. It doesn't work on anybody in the air, though, so try jumping!
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Keldeo''' – When it uses Secret Sword, it will rush up to a fighter and deliver a powerful, wide-range slash attack with its extended horn.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Kyogre''' – Hydro Pump pushes fighters off the stage. It's very difficult to escape the power of this current.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Kyurem''' – Icy Wind freezes fighters in just one hit. Not only does the attack have a wide range, but Kyurem can keep it going for a long time.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Lugia''' – Lugia will launch Aeroblast, a wide-range attack, from the back of the stage. This attack can't be blocked—do all you can to get clear!
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Meloetta''' – Meloetta's song will bounce off walls and platforms. In smaller stages, the song will bounce unpredictably, making it tough to avoid.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Meowth''' – Meowth can use Pay Day to throw coins at enemy fighters. They don't do much damage, but the attack has a wide range.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Metagross''' – Only touch Metagross if you like being buried. Anyone too slow to flee will suffer this Pokémon's Earthquake attack.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Mew''' – Mew is so rare, you'll be lucky to see one at all—but when you do, it'll drop rare items onto the battlefield.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Moltres''' – Moltres slowly rises after appearing. Even barely touching this Legendary Pokémon will send a fighter flying.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Oshawott''' – Surf sweeps up anybody in its path—adjust your aim to catch fighters who try to get out of the way!
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Palkia''' – Everything gets flipped 180 degrees, changing the battlefield. The controls don't change though, so don't accidentally fall off!
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Snivy''' – Snivy's Razor Leaf rapidly fires at short range, but anyone caught in it will be hit over and over and over.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Snorlax''' – Snorlax grows as it rises into the air. If the timing's right, you can get every other fighter in one fell swoop!
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Spewpa''' – If attacked, it'll react with a blast of Stun Spore, so...you leave Spewpa alone, Spewpa leaves you alone.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Staryu''' – Staryu will pursue a target and shoot stars at high speed. For fighters with projectile-absorbing moves, this is like an early birthday present!
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Suicune''' – Getting hit by Aurora Beam will give you a chance to cool off. Literally. Even touching Suicune right when it appears will freeze you.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Swirlix''' – Anyone who strays too close to Swirlix will have their movement reduced. Take advantage of this if you brought Swirlix into battle!
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Victini''' – Victini will use Victory Star to give the fighter who summoned it a boost. In a team battle, it will boost your teammates as well.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Xerneas''' – Everyone's launching power will get a boost when Xerneas is around. It'll be much easier to launch rivals who have low damage.
| |
| *'''Pokémon: Zoroark''' – Zoroark's Fury Swipes will smack foes down to the ground. If it gets ahold of its target again, it can use a follow-up attack.
| |
| *'''Sandbag''' – Sandbag takes damage just like a fighter. The more it takes, the easier it is to launch.
| |
| *'''Screw Attack''' – You can deliver air attacks while using the Screw Attack item. This can lead to powerful combos.

| Smash Run-based tips focus on enemies encounter in [[Smash Run]], as well as its other unique features.
| | *[[List of tips (SSB4-3DS)]] |
| *'''Area Lockdown''' – When the screen locks in place and swarms of enemies start to appear, hold your ground. Leaving the screen then will count as a KO. | | *[[List of tips (SSB4-Wii U)]] |
| *'''Area Lockdown''' – The number in the top left is your target number of enemies to beat. Hit that mark, and you'll get an especially large stat boost!
| | *[[List of tips (SSBU)]] |
| *'''Cannonball Effect''' – When you defeat an enemy, it will fly off like a cannonball and deal damage to other enemies it hits.
| |
| *'''Cannonball Effect''' – When you defeat a large foe, the cannonball effect can take out other enemies, too. However, the other enemies won't fly off like cannonballs.
| |
| *'''Challenge Doors''' – Go into the red door if you are ready for a challenge! If you clear the challenge, you can get great rewards!
| |
| *'''Challenge Doors''' – Sometimes there won't be a challenge behind the door at all. Just a bonus room full of treasure chests and stat boosts!
| |
| *'''Challenges: Crystal Smash!''' – Break all the crystals in the time allotted. Breaking them gets you stat boosts!
| |
| *'''Challenges: Crystal Smash!''' – When you're attacking crystals, sometimes large cracks will appear. Aim your attacks at these to destroy the crystals more efficiently.
| |
| *'''Challenges: Defeat them all!''' – Defeat all the enemies in the time allotted. Be careful not to fall off the narrow platforms as you fight!
| |
| *'''Challenges: Defeat them all!''' – If you touch the floor under the platforms when it's red, you'll be KO'd immediately. That applies to foes, too, so try to send them to their doom!

| |
| *'''Enemies: Daphne''' – Looks can be deceiving! These cute, flowery foes float along dropping mines that will flash and then explode when a fighter comes near.

| |
| *'''Enemies: Darknut''' – Breaking a Darknut's armor changes its attack pattern and raises its speed, but your attacks will now make it flinch.
| |
| *'''Enemies: Darknut''' – Darknuts attack by swinging their large swords around. Their shields deflect attacks, so try to hit them from behind!
| |

| |
| *'''Enemies: Kihunter''' – Kihunters won't spit acid at you if they're below you. Fighting them from above is an excellent strategy.
| |

| |
| *'''Enemies: Lurchthorn''' – These fishlike foes pull five cannons along behind them. Each cannon takes damage on its own, but defeating the head can save you some time.

| |
| *'''Enemies: Mahva''' – These fishlike foes with six eyes can protect other enemies with their barriers. Break down the barrier first—then you can hit the Mahva.
| |
| *'''Enemies: Megonta''' – This pill bug look-alike attacks by rolling at you. It's invincible while balled up, so strike wisely.
| |
| *'''Enemies: Megonta''' – Hit a Megonta's weak point—the stomach—and you can topple it over. It can't do anything until it gets back up, so you have a chance to strike.
| |
| *'''Enemies: Metroid''' – These alien creatures float around and then try to clamp down on you with their sharp fangs. Quickly struggle to break free from their grasp.
