'''Target Smash!''' ('''Break the Targets!''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and '''Target Test''' in ''[[Melee]]'') is a mini-game appearing in all three installments of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. The goal of the game is to break 10 targets as quickly as possible. In the first two games, each character had a their own unique target course, while in ''[[Brawl]]'', there are five progressively harder levels common to all characters (which must first be unlocked by clearing [[Classic Mode|Classic]] on the corresponding difficulty, or twice on the previous difficulty).

'''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 lowest time taken to break all ten targets. If a character has never broken all the targets, the game will also record how many targets were broken in that time. There is also a total time that is kept that includes the cumulative time taken to clear every character's stage. The total time only appears after all characters have cleared their stage.
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 ''Brawl'', one can also save replays of their attempts. Additionally, items have now been incorporated into the mini-game. Co-op mode is also available.
==Break the Targets! (''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'')==
Each character in ''SSB'' has their own target test. Mario's and Donkey Kong's stages resemble the construction girders from the original ''{{b|Donkey Kong|game}}'', while Luigi's resembles the layout of the ''Mario Bros.'' arcade game. Yoshi, Pikachu, and Jigglypuff use light-coloured blocks with grass; futuristic characters use grey metal; and everyone else uses bricks. All target tests utilize the unique abilities of their character. For example, {{SSB|Mario}}'s requires him to use his [[Fireball]] to smash at least one target.


In ''Brawl'', you can use a code to play on the Target Smash Lvl. 1, as demonstrated [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lel5lLDYieI&feature=channel_page here] as well as play on the other levels.
In [[1P Game]], during the first [[Bonus Stage]], this mode is announced as '''Bonus (Practice) 1: Break the Targets'''").

{{for|stage data for each target test stage|Debug menu (SSBM)/Stage data#Special Stage: Target Test}}
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]].

==Target Smash!! (''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'')==
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|Jigglypuff}}'s [[Sing]] in ''Brawl''
*{{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}'s [[Falcon Dive]] and the grab hitbox of {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}'s [[Dark Dive]] in ''Brawl''
*{{SSBB|Wario}}'s uncharged [[Wario Waft]]
*{{SSBB|Pit}}'s [[Mirror Shield]]
 
Two Target Smash levels are played as bonus stages in Classic Mode. The first occurs after Stage 4, and is the level corresponding to the chosen difficulty. The second is played after Stage 10, the level being one higher than the chosen difficulty (Level 5 again if playing on Intense). When played in Classic, there is a two minute time limit to complete the stages. Once a level is played in Classic, it becomes available in Stadium.
 
====Level 1====
[[File:Target Smash 1 SSBB.png|thumb|190px|Level 1]]
This is a simple course, with very large blue targets, all near each other. It appears to be set in [[The Lake Shore]].
{{clr}}
 
====Level 2====
[[File:Target Smash 2 SSBB.png|thumb|190px|Level 2]]
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]].
{{clr}}
 
====Level 3====
[[File:Target Smash 3 SSBB.png|thumb|190px|Level 3]]
This stage is unique as it has a [[Slide Launcher]], a spring, as well as a conveyor belt. It is set in a partial [[No KO|Box]]. It too has items. It appears to be set in [[The Swamp]].
{{clr}}
 
====Level 4====
[[File:Target Smash 4 SSBB.png|thumb|190px|Level 4]]
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}}
 
====Level 5====
[[File:Target Smash 5 SSBB.png|thumb|190px|Level 5]]
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]].

*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.

Wolf in Brawl's Target Smash!! Lvl.1. Note the size of the targets compared to Wolf.
Ice Climbers Melee Target Test.
Captain Falcon's target test in Smash 64.

Target Smash!! (ターゲットをこわせ!!, 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.

Break the Targets! (Super Smash Bros.)[edit]

Each character in SSB has their own target test. Mario's and Donkey Kong's stages resemble the construction girders from the original Donkey Kong, while Luigi's resembles the layout of the Mario Bros. arcade game. Yoshi, Pikachu, and Jigglypuff use light-coloured blocks with grass; futuristic characters use grey metal; and everyone else uses bricks. All target tests utilize the unique abilities of their character. For example, Mario's requires him to use his Fireball to smash at least one target.

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

Glitches[edit]

  • Captain Falcon's target test has a section in the lower right where he can pass through the wall.[1]
  • 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.[2]
  • 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.[3]

Layouts[edit]

Unlockables[edit]

  • Luigi - Clear Break the Targets! with all 8 starter characters.

Target Test (Super Smash Bros. Melee)[edit]

For stage data for each target test stage, see Debug menu (SSBM)/Stage data#Special Stage: Target Test.

In Melee, like SSB, every character has their own Target Test. Target Tests often require use of character-specific techniques, for example, 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 Ice Climbers' Target Test resembling the levels in their game, and Mario and 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 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 L or 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.

Target Smash!! (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)[edit]

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 games, some stages incorporate items. 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:

Two Target Smash levels are played as bonus stages in Classic Mode. The first occurs after Stage 4, and is the level corresponding to the chosen difficulty. The second is played after Stage 10, the level being one higher than the chosen difficulty (Level 5 again if playing on Intense). When played in Classic, there is a two minute time limit to complete the stages. Once a level is played in Classic, it becomes available in Stadium.

Level 1[edit]

Level 1

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

Level 2[edit]

Level 2

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.

Level 3[edit]

Level 3

This stage is unique as it has a Slide Launcher, a spring, as well as a conveyor belt. It is set in a partial Box. It too has items. It appears to be set in The Swamp.

Level 4[edit]

Level 4

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.

Level 5[edit]

Level 5

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.

Trivia[edit]

Sheik's early SSBM Target Test
The background of level 2, with the section of The Wilds visible
The section of The Wilds where the background came from. Note the different skybox, and added obstacles.
  • In Melee and Brawl, when played from the Stadium menu, the timer runs even when the game is paused.
  • In Melee, an early Target Test stage for Sheik can be accessed though the 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.
  • In Brawl, Target Smash level 2 takes place in The Wilds, and in the background, a portion of the level can be seen if the camera is zoomed out using an emulator or mods. Interestingly, in addition to some of the obstacles and non-terrain platforms being removed, the skybox was also changed.
  • 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.[4]
