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. 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 1 vs. 1 Regular Battle. There is a 5 minute time limit.
| Foe | Level | Knockback given | Knockback taken |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
0 | 0.60x | 1.75x |

This stage is a 2 vs. 2 Team Battle, similar to the Mario Bros. battle from the original game. There is a 5 minute time limit.
|
|
|
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 1 vs. 1 Regular Battle. There is a 5 minute time limit.
| Foe | Level | Knockback given | Knockback taken |
|---|---|---|---|
|

|
|
|
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 7
This stage is a 1 vs. 1 Regular Battle. There is a 5 minute time limit.
| Foe | Level | Knockback given | Knockback taken |
|---|---|---|---|
|
3 | 0.85x | 1.30x |
|
6 | 1.00x | 1.10x |
|
5 | 0.90x | 1.30x |
|
6 | 1.00x | 1.10x |
|
8 | 1.10x | 0.90x |
Stage 8
This stage is a 1 vs. 10 Multi-Character Battle, similar to the Yoshi Team, Kirby Team and Fighting Polygon Team battles from the original game. There is a 5 minute time limit.
| Foes | Level | Knockback given | Knockback taken |
|---|---|---|---|
|
1 | 0.60x | 4.00x |
|
3 | 0.70x | 2.60x |
|
4 | 0.80x | 2.00x |
|
5 | 0.90x | 1.55x |
|
7 | 1.10x | 1.20x |
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, prevents them from gaining either.
Stage 10
This stage is a 1 vs. 1 Metal Battle, similar to the Metal Mario battle from the original game. There is a 5 minute time limit.
| Metal Foe | Level | Knockback given | Knockback taken |
|---|---|---|---|
|
1 | 0.80x | 1.80x |
|
3 | 0.90x | 1.30x |
|
5 | 1.00x | 1.00x |
|
8 | 1.10x | 0.85x |
|
9 | 1.25x | 0.68x |
The battle always takes place on Battlefield, and no items appear in this stage.
Stage 11
Classic Mode's final battle takes place on Final Destination, against Master Hand.
|
|
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.
