All-Star Mode (オールスター) is a gameplay mode available in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. 4 that pits the player against every non-Mii playable character in the game.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
All-Star mode made its debut in Super Smash Bros. Melee, as an unlockable 1-player mode which puts the player up against every playable character in the game.
During each battle, the player fights up to three different characters selected at random, overall fighting every character once. However, Mr. Game and Watch is always fought last, in a team of 25. Each opponent (except Mr. Game & Watch) wears one of their first three alternate costumes (not their default costume). If the player's character is wearing one of the first three alternate costumes and fights the same character, that opponent can wear its default costume but not the same costume as the player. Mr. Game & Watch will always wear his default costume, unless the player uses Mr. Game & Watch in his default costume, in which case they will wear the red costume.
For the first four battles, the player battles against one opponent. After four battles, the player will battle against two opponents per battle. After eight battles, the player will battle against three opponents per battle until the last fight against Team Mr. Game & Watch.
The characters are fought on the home stage of the first opponent in the group; for example, if the opponents were Luigi, Pikachu, and Ice Climbers, the stage would be Mushroom Kingdom. No character has past stages or Big Blue as their home stage for All-Star Mode, so these stages are never fought on in All-Star Mode.
Unlike Classic Mode and Adventure Mode, the player's percentage does not revert to 0% between battles. Players can only recover health by using one of three Heart Containers available between matches located in the All-Star Rest Area. These Heart Containers, unlike normal containers, heal the player completely instead of only healing 100% damage. However, if the player enters the portal while damage is being healed, then the damage does not heal any further, and the next match will start with the same amount of damage the player had when he or she entered the portal. Once they are consumed, they are gone for the rest of the mode.
While players can use Ness's PSI Magnet and Mr. Game & Watch's Judgement to recover health, there is no other way to recover with the exception of the aforementioned Heart Containers; items such as food, Maxim Tomatoes, and eggs do not appear at all in the mode.
As a reward, the player can also collect random trophies that appear after every three battles.
For some characters, particularly characters with a home stage set outside their universe, the stage will have a specially selected track from their series play; this is the only time these tracks can play on these stages. For example, Pichu's stage is set as Fourside, but the "Battle Theme" plays. The only exception is Ganondorf, for whom the normal Brinstar Depths music is played.
| First character | Stage | Music |
|---|---|---|
| Dr. Mario | Mushroom Kingdom II | "Dr. Mario" |
| Mario | Rainbow Cruise | "Rainbow Cruise" |
| Luigi | Mushroom Kingdom | "Mushroom Kingdom" |
| Bowser | Yoshi's Island | "Super Mario Bros. 3" |
| Peach | Princess Peach's Castle | "Princess Peach's Castle" |
| Yoshi | Yoshi's Story | "Yoshi's Story" |
| Donkey Kong | Kongo Jungle | "Kongo Jungle" |
| Captain Falcon | Mute City | "Mute City" |
| Ganondorf | Brinstar Depths | "Brinstar Depths" |
| Falco | Venom | "Venom" |
| Fox | Corneria | "Corneria" |
| Ness | Onett | "Mother" |
| Ice Climbers | Icicle Mountain | "Icicle Mountain" |
| Kirby | Green Greens | "Green Greens" |
| Samus | Brinstar | "Brinstar" |
| Zelda | Temple | "Temple" |
| Link | Great Bay | "Great Bay" |
| Young Link | Jungle Japes | "Saria's Song" |
| Pichu | Fourside | "Battle Theme" |
| Pikachu | Pokémon Stadium | "Pokémon Stadium" |
| Jigglypuff | Poké Floats | "Poké Floats" |
| Mewtwo | Battlefield | "Poké Floats" |
| Mr. Game & Watch | Flat Zone | "Flat Zone" |
| Marth | Fountain of Dreams | "Fire Emblem" |
| Roy | Final Destination | "Fire Emblem" |
Bold denotes a track that will not play on that stage in Versus Mode.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl

This article or section is incomplete. You can help SmashWiki by expanding or finishing it. The editor who added this tag elaborates: Needs to specify whether Delfino Plaza can be used for the Mario universe while the stage "Mario Bros." is not unlocked |
All-Star Mode returns in Brawl, and is mostly unchanged from Melee. The player still gets 3 Heart Containers, random Trophies (but they will not appear as a question mark if the game is paused), and fight through every character in the game. The player still only has 1 stock, and they do not regain health between matches without a Heart Container (although the player can now enter the teleporter without having to wait for their health to fully recover).
In addition to Ness and Mr. Game & Watch, Lucas and Peach can heal themselves without a heart container by using PSI Magnet and Peach Blossom respectively. Furthermore, characters can be healed via the microgames on WarioWare, Inc..
The order in which the opponents are fought is based on the Japanese release date of the first game in the character's universe, with characters from the oldest series being fought first. As such, the player will always fight Mr. Game & Watch first and Olimar last, with Olimar's difficulty ramped up. In effect, this means that stages for Kid Icarus, Ice Climber, and Pikmin will be easier than Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon, due to the latter three universes having multiple opponents.
Up to two enemies can appear on the stage at once; when a series has more than two representatives, a new fighter will appear a few seconds after the player KOs one of the opponents. On stages with multiple opponents, the order of the opponents is random.
To defeat Pokémon Trainer, the player must defeat Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard; once one is defeated, Pokémon Trainer will send out the next one. For Metroid, the player will battle either Samus or Zero Suit Samus, selected at random; for The Legend of Zelda, the player will battle either Zelda or Sheik, selected at random.
Each character is fought on one of their home stages (randomly selected if there are multiple). Super Smash Bros. universe stages (such as Battlefield and Final Destination) and Past Stages are not used as home stages for any character. Unlockable stages will not appear unless the player has unlocked them. Mario Bros. is R.O.B.'s home stage and does not appear as a Mario home stage; if Mario Bros. has not yet been unlocked, Delfino Plaza is used instead.
When the player finishes All-Star Mode with a character, they will enter Character Roll Call.
The order in which 'Universes' are fought is listed below:
Italics denote unlockable stages that the player is not guaranteed to have upon unlocking the mode.
- ^ No playable characters in Brawl are featured in the 1989 game Mother. The first game in the series which has characters featured as playable characters in Brawl is EarthBound/Mother 2, released in August 1994.
- ^ Wario's first appearance was actually the game Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins which was released in October 1992; however, according to Masahiro Sakurai on the Super Smash Bros. Brawl website, this is based on his first main role in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3.[1]
As a reward for completing this mode, the player will earn a trophy of their character using their Final Smash. Additionally, the player will see an interesting congratulatory picture that plays according to what their fighter is. For example, for Snake, it shows Snake in his box with Zero Suit Samus and other various bounty hunters looking for him.
Co-op mode
In Brawl, All-Star Mode has a co-op mode that is played with 2 players. In co-op mode, the rest area has a total of 5 Heart Containers, the new two being underneath the platforms the normal 3 are on. If either player is KO'd, both players are sent to the continue screen. The opponents are the same until the last battle, where the players face 2 Olimars instead of one (a possible nod to Louie from Pikmin 2).
Playing All-Star Mode with 2 players allows them to receive two Final Smash trophies at the same time. However, co-op play does not count towards the Challenges for All-Star Mode, such as clearing it with ten characters. The challenges only can be unlocked in solo, not co-op mode.
Super Smash Bros. 4
Unlike previous installments, All-Star mode is playable from the start of the game. However, the mode is incomplete at first, as players cannot fight against characters they have not yet unlocked. Once all unlockable characters have been unlocked, it is referred to as true All-Star mode, which is required for many of the rewards from the Challenges in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Downloadable characters will also be added to the mode if the player obtains them, but their presence or absence will not affect any of the challenges, and if the player deletes the DLC data, the downloadable characters will be removed from the mode, until they are re-downloaded.
The order in which different characters are fought is now based on a character's personal first appearance anywhere (all characters debuted first in Japan with the exception of Diddy Kong, Sonic and Zero Suit Samus, while Greninja debuted on the same day worldwide). In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, the order of opponents starts with the oldest characters (1980) and progresses to the newest ones (2015, or 2013 prior to Corrin); in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the order is reversed, with the newest characters fought first and the oldest ones fought last. Mii Fighters are not fought at all.
Up to three enemies can appear at a time (two if played on co-op in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS) with four to nine opponents per stage with a five minute time limit. Stages are chosen randomly from some of the home stages of that era's characters (this includes stages that are not yet unlocked), but overly large stages such as Palutena's Temple, The Great Cave Offensive and 75m are never picked. Wii U stages will use their 8-Player Smash variant if applicable; similarly, some 3DS stages have certain elements removed, as noted below.
Ten characters with special alternate costumes can wear these costumes in All-Star Mode.
- Little Mac can wear his wireframe costume
- Wario can wear his classic overall costume
- Cloud can wear his Cloudy Wolf costume
- Bayonetta can wear her original Bayonetta costume
- Robin, Corrin and Wii Fit Trainer can be either male or female
- The Villager can wear any costume.
- Both Alph and the Koopalings can take the place of their original characters, Olimar and Bowser Jr., respectively. However, their appearances will seem misplaced in relation to the chronology, as Alph's debut in Pikmin 3 comes twelve years after Olimar's in Pikmin and the Koopalings' debut in Super Mario Bros. 3 predates Bowser Jr.'s debut in Super Mario Sunshine by fourteen years.
The recovery items available in the Rest Area are one Special Heart Container (healing 999%), a Maxim Tomato (healing 50%), a Fairy Bottle (healing 100%, but only if the player's damage is 100% or greater), and, if all characters are unlocked, a second Special Heart Container. In the Group version, two extra Special Heart Containers are added. If the player attempts to carry one of these items outside of the Rest Area (e.g. carrying the Fairy Bottle normally, or Pocketing an item), it will be lost without healing the player. Unlike in previous games, no items spawn at all during battles. In addition, while in the Rest Area, the player's damage is fixed and cannot be altered in any way outside the provided healing items—self-damaging moves (such as Judge) and self-healing moves (such as Sun Salutation) will not have any effect on the player's damage. Chomp cannot boost the effectiveness of healing items in the Rest Area.
Rather than the knockback handicaps used in previous games, in SSB4 damage multipliers are used to increase the damage dealt to opponents while reducing the damage taken by the player. The CPUs also have launch rates slightly below 1.0x, possibly to stop some moves from KOing them too early due to the damage multipliers. However, attacks from projectiles and other articles and props—such as Charizard's Flare Blitz, Olimar's Pikmin, and Ness's yo-yo—are not affected by the player's damage boost or the opponents' damage reduction. In addition, stage hazards will deal full damage and knockback to players and enemies alike (such as falling onto the track in Mute City). As a result, prop-based attacks and stage hazards are by far the greatest threats to the player in this mode, since the opponents will otherwise not be able to reliably KO the player otherwise until approximately 200%. In this mode, opponents cannot be Star KO'd or Screen KO'd.
Unlike previous games, the player may not continue. If the player is defeated, any gold, trophies, and Custom Parts earned so far will be retained, but they must start over.
The player is not allowed to use any customizations. As a result, with the exception of Mii Fighters, characters can only use their default special moves.
In Solo mode, when the player finishes All-Star Mode, the credits will roll and they will earn their character's "(Alt.)" trophy (in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS) or a Final Smash trophy (in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U); In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, "(Alt.)" trophies are instead randomly obtained from the Trophy Shop after beating Classic Mode or All-Star Mode with that character.

Rest Area music
In Melee
All-Star mode is heavily based on Kirby Super Star's The Arena. In Melee, the music comes from The Great Cave Offensive's save cottages in Kirby Super Star. Interestingly enough, in Kirby Super Star Ultra, this music is used in The Arena between boss fights.
In Brawl
In Brawl, the music is a light, relaxed remix of Brawl's main theme.
In Smash 4
In Smash 4, the music is a light remix of the main theme.
Trivia
- In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Pokémon Trainer uses a revival platform as an opponent in All-Star Mode, because the player must KO all three of Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon. He is the only character in the entire series to do so.
- The Mii Fighters are the only characters in the entire series that are absent from All-Star Mode.
- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the only game where the teleporter to the next battle is not on the main ground.
- Dark Pit is the only character that is unlocked by playing in this mode, being unlocked this way in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
- In the English version of the Super Smash Bros. Direct, Masahiro Sakurai was translated as saying that Assist Trophies would "figure into All-Star mode" in some fashion in Super Smash Bros. 4. However, Assist Trophies ended up playing no role in the mode, and they do not even spawn as regular items within battles. In Japanese, Sakurai was instead referring to the "all-star" cast as opposed to the mode itself.
