A challenge in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a goal that must be met, usually requiring the player to use a certain character, input certain moves, play against a specific level AI, etc. Completion of a goal may net the player gold, Spirit Points, Spirits, or a costume/hat accessory. Each challenge comes with a picture as well, normally having something to do with said challenge.
A Golden Hammer can be used on challenges to complete them. Golden Hammers are unlocked after a certain amount of challenges have been completed. Certain challenges cannot be completed with a Golden Hammer; these are marked as red cells. All other (white) cells can be broken by a Golden Hammer.
Challenges are sorted by the gameplay category where their conditions must be met. Due to this, it has been split into multiple sections below.
| Red indicates that a Golden Hammer may not be used |
