'''Boss Battles | '''Boss Battles''' is an [[unlockable]] [[Stadium]] mode introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' that is very similar to [[All-Star Mode]], except the player fights all the [[boss]]es rather than all the playable characters. Boss Battles is unlocked after the player completes both {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} & [[The Subspace Emissary]] for the first time, or in other words, has defeated each boss at least once (aside from {{SSBB|Crazy Hand}}). | ||

The goal of Boss Battles | The goal of Boss Battles is to defeat every boss in the game with a single [[stock]]. When a player begins Boss Battles, they are immediately dropped into combat against one of nine bosses (excluding [[Tabuu]]). Once a boss is defeated, the player is brought to the rest area. The rest area displays all defeated bosses as trophies, a screen that displays the face of next boss to be fought, and has limited recovery items. There are three [[Heart Container]]s, which recover the player's damage to 0% and don't reappear upon later visits to the rest area. This format continues until all bosses are defeated. | ||
The bosses are fought in random order, except for Tabuu, who is always last. The player receives only 0.5x incoming damage, and reduced knockback, making bosses noticeably weaker, in addition to also being slower to compensate the fact that player has only one life and no [[continue]]s. Some boss attacks are altered in strength as well, either to make them weaker still, or to partially compensate for the resistances. | The bosses are fought in random order, except for Tabuu, who is always last.

None of these challenges can be broken by a [[Golden Hammer]], except in [[PAL]] versions of the game (which can break open all challenges). These trophies cannot be unlocked in [[Multiplayer|co-op play]]. If done in co-op mode, the high scores (similar to [[All-Star]]) are tracked into a unique reserved slot rather than being any attached to any character. | ||
