The classic mode seen in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Before a battle, these portraits are used for the character that the player is playing as...
...and the opponent that the player must defeat to advance forward.

Classic Mode is a 1-player mode in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Following a structure similar to that of the 1P Game mode from the original game, the player chooses a single character, stock, and difficulty level, then battles through 11 different stages, culminating in a final battle with Master Hand (and, depending on the situation, Crazy Hand). In addition to standard battles, three bonus rounds are also included, allowing for players to further increase their score and potentially gain other rewards from the mode. If the player loses all of their stock, they can potentially continue, assuming their supply of gold allows for it.

While Classic Mode does have a fixed order concerning the themes of battles and the presence of bonus rounds, the characters the player may fight against or fight alongside of are randomized from a pool of characters. Furthermore, the player's selected character will be excluded from inclusion as an opponent or ally, thus making mirror matches impossible.

Completing Classic Mode can yield a variety of rewards for the player, alongside all gold awarded for completing the various stages. The player's score is also recorded, assuming it has surpassed the previous high score for the character.

Classic Mode stages

Stage 1

This stage is a regular 1 vs. 1 battle. There is a 5 minute time limit. On Very Hard difficulty, the opponent will wear the 4th costume.

Foe Level Knockback given Knockback taken
Very Easy 0 0.60x 1.75x

Very Hard 9 1.20x 0.90x

Stage 2

This stage is a 2 vs. 2 team battle. There is a 5 minute time limit. On Very Hard difficulty, the first opponent will wear the 4th costume.

Ally Level Knockback given Knockback taken
Very Easy 8 0.80x 0.90x
Easy 7 0.80x 1.00x
Normal 6 0.80x 1.15x

Very Hard 8 1.15x 0.80x

Stage 3

The first bonus stage is Target Test, where the player is tasked with breaking all ten targets in their character's target test within two minutes. Failing to break all ten targets will not cost the player any stock, though they will lose out on potential end-of-game bonuses.

Stage 4

This stage is a regular 1 vs. 1 battle. There is a 5 minute time limit.

Foe Level Knockback given Knockback taken
Very Easy 2 0.75x 1.40x
Easy 5 0.90x 1.10x
Normal 8 1.00x 1.00x
Hard 9 1.15x 0.85x
Very Hard 9 1.34x 0.70x

This stage is a 3 vs. 1 battle against a giant opponent. There is a 5 minute time limit.

Very Hard 8 1.20x 1.00x

Stage 6

The second bonus stage is Snag the Trophies, where players are tasked with preventing three trophies from falling off the stage. The player is awarded any trophy they rescue, and getting all three yields an end-of-game bonus. The stage ends in failure if none of the trophies are saved, if players fall of the stage, or if the two minute time limit expires.

Stage 9

The final bonus stage is Race to the Finish, where players have to race through an obstacle course within a varied time limit. The farther the player makes it through Race to the Finish, the more points and coins they receive; getting KO'd at any point or running out of time, however, forfeits both.

Stage 10

This stage is a 1 vs. 1 battle against a metal opponent. There is a 5 minute time limit.

Metal Foe Level Knockback given Knockback taken
Very Easy 1 0.80x 1.80x
Easy 3 0.90x 1.30x
Normal 5 1.00x 1.00x
Hard 8 1.10x 0.85x
Very Hard 9 1.25x 0.68x

The battle always takes place on Battlefield, and no items appear in this stage. Due to this, the player will always receive receive the "Item-less" bonus.

Stage 11

Classic Mode's final battle takes place on Final Destination, against Master Hand.

Master Hand Level Knockback given Knockback taken
Very Easy 5 0.50x —
Easy 6 0.75x —
Normal 7 1.00x —
Hard 8 1.50x —
Very Hard 9 2.00x —
Crazy Hand Level Knockback given Knockback taken
Very Easy — — —
Easy — — —
Normal 7 1.00x —
Hard 8 1.50x —
Very Hard 9 2.00x —

Unlike all other foes previously fought, the player has to defeat Master Hand by lowering his HP to 0, instead of knocking him off the ledge of the stage.

Master Hand's HP varies on the difficulty selected by the player, with higher difficulties causing him to have higher HP values.

Difficulty level Master Hand's HP
Very Easy 150 HP
Easy 250 HP
Normal 300 HP
Hard 330 HP
Very Hard 360 HP

If the player is playing on Normal difficulty or higher and has made it to the final stage within 5 minutes and 50 seconds, then Crazy Hand will spawn when half of Master Hand's HP has been depleted. Crazy Hand's starting HP also depends with the difficulty (Normal, Hard, or Very Hard), matching to the HP that Master Hand started with from the beginning.

Beating Master Hand and, if applicable, Crazy Hand, finishes the mode. After the screen fades to white and the final results screen is shown to the player, a small cinematic plays, showing their selected character dropping into the Collection room turning into a trophy and displaying all other character trophies they have attained in the mode. The credits then play, followed by a small cinematic and Congratulations image for the player's selected character.

Types of battles

Regular battle

All characters except Ganondorf, Roy, and Mr. Game & Watch are eligible to battle the player throughout the mode's three 1-on-1 battles, with their home stages listed below. In this mode, neither Poké Floats nor any Past Stages are used. In Stage 1 on Very Hard Difficulty, the opponent will wear its third alternative costume. In Stage 7 on Hard or Very Hard, the computer will usually try to avoid the player at all costs, sometimes by walking off the screen.

Some fights have unique music: Mewtwo's battle will play Poké Floats, Marth's battle will play Fire Emblem, Dr. Mario's battle will play Dr. Mario, and Young Link's battle will play Saria's Theme. The battle with Yoshi has a chance of playing Yoshi's Island N64 as its alternate music.

2 vs. 2 teams

Below is the list of all the teams the player can fight in Classic Mode, each of which have a loose theme. For instance, the Kirby/Ice Climbers team is a likely reference to Kirby's Hammer Ability and the Ness/Peach team is a likely reference to Paula Polestar, a party member and Ness' love interest in EarthBound. Both the characters for each team and the stage fought on is listed. There are a total of 29 teams. All playable characters aside from Zelda/Sheik and Roy can fight alongside the player. Allies all use their first alternate costume. On Very Hard Difficulty, the first opponent wears its third alternative costume. When fighting a team of Mario and Bowser on Battlefield, Princess Peach's Castle will play.
