The '''1P Game''' (also known as "1 Player Game" and "1P Game Mode") is the only single-player campaign mode available to play in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. In the mode, players progress through a series of 11 matches (interrupted by a bonus stage after every three matches), culminating in a final battle with the game's [[boss]], [[Master Hand]]. The mode has a static nature in which the player faces the same characters on the same [[stages]] in a fixed order during each playthrough. There are fourteen stages including bonus stages in this mode and players may choose their character and number of lives before the playthrough. The 1P Game was redone into [[Classic Mode]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and featured a number of improvements, among them the removal of the fixed match order.

The '''1P Game''' (also known as '''1 Player Game''', '''1P Game Mode''', or sometimes '''Classic Mode''') is the only single-player campaign mode available to play in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' In the mode, players progress through a series of eleven stages, culminating in a final battle with the game's [[boss]], {{SSB|Master Hand}}. In addition, there are three optional bonus stages–one after every third match–where the player has one [[stock]] to complete the stage before time runs out. Clearing each stage, including the bonus stages, gives the player [[bonus points]] that contribute to a total [[score]]. The mode has a static nature in which the player faces the same characters on the same [[stage]]s in a fixed order during each playthrough. Players may choose their character, the [[difficulty]], and number of lives before the playthrough.
==Match stages==
===Stage 1===
The first [[stage]] takes place at [[Hyrule Castle]] and pits the player against [[Link (SSB)|Link]]. Having many disjointed melee attacks and two projectile weapons, Link can be a hassle to [[approach]]. However, his lack of speed and maneuverability cause Link even more problems in approaching the player. In fact, much of Link's strategy consists of standing back, throwing a few projectiles, and waiting for an opening. Depending on the difficulty level, Link may even take a long time to react to attacks, even if he is savagely assaulted. The terrain effect on the Hyrule Castle stage is tornadoes which appear randomly and tend to last between 10 and 20 seconds, and move in a random directions, sometimes suddenly speeding up and homing in on a character.


===Stage 2===
The 1P Game did not return proper in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. In ''Melee'', the aspect of fighting a series of opponents en route to [[Master Hand]] (and depending on the difficulty, [[Crazy Hand]]) was instead included in the redone {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}. However, this mode featured randomized opponents and a more streamlined structure, alongside other improvements. Additionally, some fights from the 1P Game reappeared as opponent characters in the new 1 player mode [[Adventure]] in ''Melee'' (including the [[Yoshi Team]], [[Giant Donkey Kong]], the [[Kirby Team]], and [[Metal Mario]]). In this regard, the Adventure mode can be seen as an enhanced remake of the 1P Game. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', {{SSBU|Jigglypuff}}'s {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} route is a reference to this mode, since it consists only of characters and stages from ''Smash 64'', even starting with {{SSBU|Link}} in his tunic alternate costume and fighting Giant Donkey Kong.  
The second stage takes place on [[Yoshi's Island (SSB)|Yoshi's Island]] and pits the player against the [[Yoshi Team]], comprised of 18 lightweight Yoshis. The Yoshis rarely attack and as they are lightweights, they are exceptionally weak and can be knocked out by almost any attack; sometimes they may even fall from the stage without any conflict from the player. Strangely though, the clouds at the sides of the stage are missing. However, using a Gameshark to use the Debug Menu can allow the player to access this version of Yoshi's Island with the clouds missing.


===Stage 3===
Each stage, excluding bonus stages, has 5 minutes for the player to KO their opponent(s). However, the player is able to disable this time limit, but doing so prevents the player from receiving time bonuses.
The third stage takes place in [[Sector Z]] and pits the player against [[Fox McCloud (SSB)|Fox McCloud]]. Fox has speed unmatched in almost every aspect. However, his attacks tend to have less [[knockback]] than those of other opponents. ARWING fighters act as the terrain effect on this stage. Occasionally [[Arwing]]s will appear and commence fire at the players, causing significant damage. Also, if Fox or the player is standing on the Arwing as it flies offscreen, this may result in a knock-out; however, the ARWINGs tend to do barrel rolls or fly upside-down, which will essentially push the character off before it disappears from the screen.


===Stage 4===
==Stages==
The fourth stage takes place at [[Peach's Castle]] and pits the player against the [[Mario Bros. (team)|Mario Bros.]], comprised of [[Mario (SSB)|Mario]] and [[Luigi (SSB)|Luigi]]. In this stage, the player is accompanied by one, randomized ally. Mario is adept in close-range smash attacks while he makes use of a good, long range, and Luigi's combos, although less varied and versatile than Mario's, can be followed by his devastating [[Super Jump Punch]]. Curiously, Luigi will still appear even if the player has not unlocked him.
===Stage 1: Link===
The first stage takes place at [[Hyrule Castle]] and pits the player against {{SSB|Link}}. Having Link KO'd by a Tornado stage hazard will net the player the [[List of bonuses#Super Smash Bros.|Tornado Clear]] bonus, worth 3,000 points.


===Stage 5===
===Stage 2: Yoshi Team===
The fifth stage takes place in [[Saffron City]] and pits the player against [[Pikachu (SSB)|Pikachu]]. Notorious for his high-priority aerials, good [[edgeguard]]ing ability, and superb recovery, Pikachu is a versatile character with very few weaknesses. The player should never hastily approach Pikachu as its aerials can out-prioritize and out-range almost any move. The terrain effect on the Saffron City stage appears through the door under a small platform around the center of the stage. This door occasionally opens, revealing a Pokémon at random which more often then not, deals damage to whoever is in its attack range. Some of these Pokémon can be knocked out, however.
The second stage takes place on {{SSB|Yoshi's Island}} and pits the player against 18 lightweight {{SSB|Yoshi}}s. The Yoshis rarely attack and as they are lightweights, they are exceptionally weak and can be knocked out by almost any attack; sometimes they may even fall from the stage without any conflict from the player. Defeating the Yoshis in the order that they appear gives the player the [[List of bonuses#Super Smash Bros.|Yoshi Rainbow]] bonus, worth 50,000 points (15,000 points in the Japanese version).


===Stage 6===
This stage takes place on a version of Yoshi's Island without the clouds off to the side of the stage; while normally inaccessible, it is possible to access the stage via hacking.
The sixth stage takes place in the [[Congo Jungle]] and pits the player against [[Giant DK]]. In this stage, the player is accompanied by two, randomized allies. Giant DK has little knockback when attacked, while his own attacks can send opponents flying. Under the main platform of the stage is a [[Barrel Cannon]] which sidles left and right. Characters can also jump through the main platform, despite the inability to fall through it.  


===Stage 7===
===Stage 3: Fox===
The seventh stage takes place in [[Dream Land]] and pits the player against the [[Kirby team|Kirby Team]], comprised of 8 lightweight Kirbys. Each of the eight Kirbys sport a unique hat (with the exception of one, which will be normal Kirby, or one of the four unlockable characters (after they've been unlocked)) corresponding to each of the eight [[starter character]]s in the game, and as such can make use of each character's [[neutral B]] attack. The terrain effect on the Dream Land stage is [[Whispy Woods]], a tree in the middle of the stage who occasionally blows wind towards a particular side of the stage.
The third stage takes place in [[Sector Z]] and pits the player against {{SSB|Fox}}. Having Fox KO'd by an [[Arwing]] stage hazard will net the player the [[List of bonuses#Super Smash Bros.|ARWING Clear]] bonus, worth 4,000 points (3,000 points in the Japanese version).


===Stage 8===
===Bonus Stage 1: Break the Targets===
The eighth stage takes place on [[Planet Zebes]] and pits the player against [[Samus Aran]]. [[Weight|Heavy]] yet [[Falling speed|floaty]], Samus is an opponent with a quick [[dash]] and decent recovery who often begins the match by charging her [[Charge Shot]]. The terrain effect on the Planet Zebes stage is acid which raises from below the platforms occasionally, and can submerge each platform except the top-most platform which will always be above the acid. Touching the acid results in damage and serious knockback.
The first bonus stage is [[Target Test|Break the Targets]]. It challenges the player to seek and smash ten targets placed throughout the stage within a 2-minute time limit.


===Stage 9===
===Stage 4: Mario Bros.===
The ninth stage takes place at [[Meta Crystal]] and pits the player against [[Metal Mario]] himself. Very different from his normal form, Metal Mario takes an absurd amount of damage to knock-out, often exceeding 300%. Succeeding in driving from the edge of the stage almost guarantees victory, as his massive weight makes it nearly impossible for him to recover.
The fourth stage takes place at [[Peach's Castle]] and pits the player against the [[Mario Bros. (team)|Mario Bros.]], consisting of {{SSB|Mario}} and {{SSB|Luigi}}. In this stage, the player is accompanied by one, randomized ally. Curiously, Luigi will still appear even if the player has not unlocked him. Knocking out one Mario brother before hitting the other will earn the player the [[List of bonuses#Super Smash Bros.|Bros. Calamity]] bonus, worth 25,000 points (12,000 points in the Japanese version). Defeating both Mario Bros. without the teammate being KO'd nets the [[List of bonuses#Super Smash Bros.|Good Friend]] bonus, worth 8,000 points (5,000 points in the Japanese version). Defeating them without the teammate being damaged at all earns the [[List of bonuses#Super Smash Bros.|True Friend]] bonus, worth 25,000 points (30,000 points in the Japanese version).


===Stage 10===
===Stage 5: Pikachu===
The tenth stage takes place on the [[Battlefield (SSB)|Battlefield]] and pits the player against the [[Fighting Polygon Team]], comprised of 30 lightweight Fighting Polygons. The Fighting Polygons cannot perform [[grab]]s and have no special attacks, and being lightweights, they are exceptionally weak and can be knocked out by almost any attack.
The fifth stage takes place in [[Saffron City]] and pits the player against {{SSB|Pikachu}}.


===Final Stage===
===Stage 6: Giant Donkey Kong===
The final stage takes place at the [[Final Destination (SSB)|Final Destination]] and pits the player against [[Master Hand]]. Using its size and shape to its advantage, [[Master Hand]] slaps, punches and flicks the player around. This stage stands out from most others in the game, as it can not be cleared by knocking out the opponent, but only by lowering the opponent's [[Stamina Mode|stamina]] to 0HP.
The sixth stage takes place in [[Congo Jungle]] and pits the player against [[Giant Donkey Kong]]. In this stage, the player is accompanied by two randomly selected allies. Defeating Giant Donkey Kong without either teammate being KO'd nets the [[List of bonuses#Super Smash Bros.|DK Defender]] bonus, worth 10,000 points (7,000 points in the Japanese version). Defeating him without either teammate being damaged at all earns the [[List of bonuses#Super Smash Bros.|DK Perfect]] bonus, worth 50,000 points.


==Bonus stages==
===Bonus Stage 2: Board the Platforms===
===Bonus Stage 1===
The second bonus stage is [[Board the Platforms]]. It challenges the player to seek and step on the surfaces of the ten platforms placed throughout the stage within a 2-minute time limit.
The first bonus stage is [[Target Test|Break the Targets]] and takes place after stage 3, the match against Fox McCloud. It challenges the player to seek and destroy the ten targets placed throughout the stage within a 2-minute time limit.


===Bonus Stage 2===
===Stage 7: Kirby Team===
The second bonus stage is [[Board the Platforms]] and takes place after stage 6, the match against Giant DK. It challenges the player to seek and step on the surfaces of the ten platforms placed throughout the stage within a 2-minute time limit. When a platform has been boarded, the otherwise red light it emits will become blue.
The seventh stage takes place in {{SSB|Dream Land}} and pits the player against 8 lightweight {{SSB|Kirby}}s. Each of the eight Kirbys sport a unique hat (with the exception of the final one, which will be either normal Kirby, or one of the four unlockable characters after they've been unlocked) corresponding to each of the eight [[starter character]]s in the game. There are always two Kirbys at a time for the player to face. Except for the average and unlockable character Kirbys, they all appear in the selection screen order of the respective character whose power they copied. Keeping this in mind, if the player manages to defeat them in the right order (Mario, DK, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Fox, Pikachu, regular/random unlockable), they will be awarded the [[List of bonuses#Super Smash Bros.|Kirby Ranks]] bonus, worth 25,000 points (12,000 points in the Japanese version).


===Bonus Stage 3===
===Stage 8: Samus===
The third and final bonus stage is [[Race to the Finish (SSB)|Race to the Finish]] and takes place after stage 9, the match against Metal Mario. It challenges the player to descend five floors and reach the exit, while avoiding explosives, bumpers, and some of the [[Fighting Polygon Team]]. Unlike the other bonus stages, in this one, you get a time limit of one minute instead of two.
The eighth stage takes place on [[Planet Zebes]] and pits the player against {{SSB|Samus}}. Having Samus KO'd by the rising acid stage hazard will net the player the [[List of bonuses#Super Smash Bros.|Acid Clear]] bonus, worth 1,500 points (1,000 points in the Japanese version).
 
===Stage 9: Metal Mario===
The ninth stage takes place at [[Meta Crystal]] and pits the player against [[Metal Mario]].
 
===Bonus Stage 3: Race to the Finish===
The third and final bonus stage is {{SSB|Race to the Finish}}. It challenges the player to descend five floors and reach the exit, while avoiding explosives, bumpers, and some of the Fighting Polygon Team. Unlike the other bonus stages, the player has only one minute to complete the stage.
 
===Stage 10: Fighting Polygon Team===
The tenth stage takes place on [[Duel Zone]] and pits the player against the [[Fighting Polygon Team]], consisting of 30 lightweight Fighting Polygons, weak copies of the twelve playable characters.
 
=== Stage 11: Master Hand (Final Stage)===
The final stage takes place at the {{SSB|Final Destination}} and pits the player against {{SSB|Master Hand}}. This stage stands out from most others in the game, as it can not be cleared by knocking the opponent out past the [[blast line]], but only by reducing the opponent's [[Stamina Mode|stamina]] to 0 HP.  Master Hand on all difficulties has 300 HP.


==Congratulations screen==

*The Japanese version lacks the "Congratulations" screen when 1 player mode is completed.
*While the points counter can theoretically feature values above ten million due to having eight possible digits, only hacks that force the counter to its maximum value can cause it to feature such numbers.
*It's absolutely impossible (without hacking) to clear all the 8 digits on the counter that tells how many points the player has earned in 1P Game.
*Luigi is the only [[unlockable character]] that appears as an opponent on 1P Game Mode (as he appears in Stage 4). The other unlockable characters Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, and Ness can appear as ally characters in Stages 4 and 6, but none of them will appear as opponent characters.
*Allies in Stages 4 and 6 will never be the same character as each other or the player, meaning that it’s not possible to have two Pikachus as an ally and the player cannot get Ness as an ally if they select him. Allies will always use their default costume; if the player gets Luigi as an ally against the Mario Bros. the opponent Luigi will use his white costume. Mario will never appear as an ally in stage 4 as he is an opponent.
*Within a similar mode via ''Ultimate'''s Classic Mode, Jigglypuff and Bowser are the only characters who face a mini-boss originating from 1P Game. Jigglypuff faces Giant Donkey Kong while Bowser fights Metal Mario upon defeating a default Mario.
**Both mini-bosses serve as both characters' final rounds in Classic Mode each.

Link, Pikachu, and Yoshi about to fight Giant Donkey Kong in Super Smash Bros.' 1P Game.

The 1P Game (also known as 1 Player Game, 1P Game Mode, or sometimes Classic Mode) is the only single-player campaign mode available to play in Super Smash Bros. In the mode, players progress through a series of eleven stages, culminating in a final battle with the game's boss, Master Hand. In addition, there are three optional bonus stages–one after every third match–where the player has one stock to complete the stage before time runs out. Clearing each stage, including the bonus stages, gives the player bonus points that contribute to a total score. The mode has a static nature in which the player faces the same characters on the same stages in a fixed order during each playthrough. Players may choose their character, the difficulty, and number of lives before the playthrough.

The 1P Game did not return proper in Super Smash Bros. Melee. In Melee, the aspect of fighting a series of opponents en route to Master Hand (and depending on the difficulty, Crazy Hand) was instead included in the redone Classic Mode. However, this mode featured randomized opponents and a more streamlined structure, alongside other improvements. Additionally, some fights from the 1P Game reappeared as opponent characters in the new 1 player mode Adventure in Melee (including the Yoshi Team, Giant Donkey Kong, the Kirby Team, and Metal Mario). In this regard, the Adventure mode can be seen as an enhanced remake of the 1P Game. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Jigglypuff's Classic Mode route is a reference to this mode, since it consists only of characters and stages from Smash 64, even starting with Link in his tunic alternate costume and fighting Giant Donkey Kong.

Each stage, excluding bonus stages, has 5 minutes for the player to KO their opponent(s). However, the player is able to disable this time limit, but doing so prevents the player from receiving time bonuses.

Stages[edit]

Stage 1: Link[edit]

The first stage takes place at Hyrule Castle and pits the player against Link. Having Link KO'd by a Tornado stage hazard will net the player the Tornado Clear bonus, worth 3,000 points.

Stage 2: Yoshi Team[edit]

The second stage takes place on Yoshi's Island and pits the player against 18 lightweight Yoshis. The Yoshis rarely attack and as they are lightweights, they are exceptionally weak and can be knocked out by almost any attack; sometimes they may even fall from the stage without any conflict from the player. Defeating the Yoshis in the order that they appear gives the player the Yoshi Rainbow bonus, worth 50,000 points (15,000 points in the Japanese version).

This stage takes place on a version of Yoshi's Island without the clouds off to the side of the stage; while normally inaccessible, it is possible to access the stage via hacking.

Stage 3: Fox[edit]

The third stage takes place in Sector Z and pits the player against Fox. Having Fox KO'd by an Arwing stage hazard will net the player the ARWING Clear bonus, worth 4,000 points (3,000 points in the Japanese version).

Bonus Stage 1: Break the Targets[edit]

The first bonus stage is Break the Targets. It challenges the player to seek and smash ten targets placed throughout the stage within a 2-minute time limit.

Stage 4: Mario Bros.[edit]

The fourth stage takes place at Peach's Castle and pits the player against the Mario Bros., consisting of Mario and Luigi. In this stage, the player is accompanied by one, randomized ally. Curiously, Luigi will still appear even if the player has not unlocked him. Knocking out one Mario brother before hitting the other will earn the player the Bros. Calamity bonus, worth 25,000 points (12,000 points in the Japanese version). Defeating both Mario Bros. without the teammate being KO'd nets the Good Friend bonus, worth 8,000 points (5,000 points in the Japanese version). Defeating them without the teammate being damaged at all earns the True Friend bonus, worth 25,000 points (30,000 points in the Japanese version).

Stage 5: Pikachu[edit]

The fifth stage takes place in Saffron City and pits the player against Pikachu.

Stage 6: Giant Donkey Kong[edit]

The sixth stage takes place in Congo Jungle and pits the player against Giant Donkey Kong. In this stage, the player is accompanied by two randomly selected allies. Defeating Giant Donkey Kong without either teammate being KO'd nets the DK Defender bonus, worth 10,000 points (7,000 points in the Japanese version). Defeating him without either teammate being damaged at all earns the DK Perfect bonus, worth 50,000 points.

Bonus Stage 2: Board the Platforms[edit]

The second bonus stage is Board the Platforms. It challenges the player to seek and step on the surfaces of the ten platforms placed throughout the stage within a 2-minute time limit.

Stage 7: Kirby Team[edit]

The seventh stage takes place in Dream Land and pits the player against 8 lightweight Kirbys. Each of the eight Kirbys sport a unique hat (with the exception of the final one, which will be either normal Kirby, or one of the four unlockable characters after they've been unlocked) corresponding to each of the eight starter characters in the game. There are always two Kirbys at a time for the player to face. Except for the average and unlockable character Kirbys, they all appear in the selection screen order of the respective character whose power they copied. Keeping this in mind, if the player manages to defeat them in the right order (Mario, DK, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Fox, Pikachu, regular/random unlockable), they will be awarded the Kirby Ranks bonus, worth 25,000 points (12,000 points in the Japanese version).

Stage 8: Samus[edit]

The eighth stage takes place on Planet Zebes and pits the player against Samus. Having Samus KO'd by the rising acid stage hazard will net the player the Acid Clear bonus, worth 1,500 points (1,000 points in the Japanese version).

Stage 9: Metal Mario[edit]

The ninth stage takes place at Meta Crystal and pits the player against Metal Mario.

Bonus Stage 3: Race to the Finish[edit]

The third and final bonus stage is Race to the Finish. It challenges the player to descend five floors and reach the exit, while avoiding explosives, bumpers, and some of the Fighting Polygon Team. Unlike the other bonus stages, the player has only one minute to complete the stage.

Stage 10: Fighting Polygon Team[edit]

The tenth stage takes place on Duel Zone and pits the player against the Fighting Polygon Team, consisting of 30 lightweight Fighting Polygons, weak copies of the twelve playable characters.

Stage 11: Master Hand (Final Stage)[edit]

The final stage takes place at the Final Destination and pits the player against Master Hand. This stage stands out from most others in the game, as it can not be cleared by knocking the opponent out past the blast line, but only by reducing the opponent's stamina to 0 HP. Master Hand on all difficulties has 300 HP.

Congratulations screen[edit]

Upon clearing the 1P Game, the game gives the player a small reward: a static image featuring the selected character in a specific scene along with the announcer saying "Congratulations!". Most of these screens are entirely original images made for the game; the sole exception is Captain Falcon's, which was an unlockable title screen for F-Zero X. The announcer will also exclaim "Incredible!" if the player manages to score at least 1 million points and no miss 11 times by the end of the game.

The congratulations screens are present only in the American, PAL, and Chinese versions of the game, and not in the Japanese version.

Unlockables[edit]

  • Clearing the 1P Game with any character in under 20 minutes will unlock Captain Falcon.
  • Clearing the 1P Game on any difficulty will unlock Jigglypuff.
  • Clearing Break the Targets with all eight original characters will unlock Luigi.
  • Clearing the 1P Game with 3 lives or less and no continues on the Normal difficulty or higher will unlock Ness.
  • Clearing the 1P Game, playing as all eight starter characters, and playing on all the default stages will unlock Mushroom Kingdom.

Trivia[edit]

  • While the points counter can theoretically feature values above ten million due to having eight possible digits, only hacks that force the counter to its maximum value can cause it to feature such numbers.
  • Luigi is the only unlockable character that appears as an opponent on 1P Game Mode (as he appears in Stage 4). The other unlockable characters Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, and Ness can appear as ally characters in Stages 4 and 6, but none of them will appear as opponent characters.
  • Allies in Stages 4 and 6 will never be the same character as each other or the player, meaning that it’s not possible to have two Pikachus as an ally and the player cannot get Ness as an ally if they select him. Allies will always use their default costume; if the player gets Luigi as an ally against the Mario Bros. the opponent Luigi will use his white costume. Mario will never appear as an ally in stage 4 as he is an opponent.
  • Within a similar mode via Ultimate's Classic Mode, Jigglypuff and Bowser are the only characters who face a mini-boss originating from 1P Game. Jigglypuff faces Giant Donkey Kong while Bowser fights Metal Mario upon defeating a default Mario.
    • Both mini-bosses serve as both characters' final rounds in Classic Mode each.
