Since team battles are a regular division of versus mode, the regular options of [[time]], [[stock]], and [[Coin Mode|coin matches]] can be selected, along with [[Special Melee]]/[[Special Brawl|Brawl]] rules as well.  In time and coin matches, the score (or coins collected) of each team is the combined score of its members.  Stock matches are played in essentially the same manner; each player starts with a set number of lives and the objective is to deplete the stock of the opposing team(s). However, there is one feature called [[Share Stock]] where, when one player loses his/her last life, and that player has a teammate with two or more lives, he/she may borrow one of the lives from his/her teammate, and the character re-spawns as usual.

As a default setting, members of the same team cannot attack each other.  However, turning on [[Friendly Fire]] on the options screen will allow players to damage their allies.  This can lead to techniques such as easily using [[Mr. Game & Watch|Mr. Game & Watch's]] [[Oil Panic]] move, giving [[Kirby]] a copy ability using [[Inhale]], healing [[Ness]] or [[Lucas]] with [[PSI Magnet]], or hitting a recovering ally with a low-knockback projectile, allowing them to re-use their [[Up Special Move|third jump]].

Team battle is also available for Nintendo Wi-Fi connection. When playing with anyone, a player selects his/her character as usual, but his/her team colour is determined randomly. Online team battles with anyone are always 2 vs. 2.
