Vault

The menu of the Vault in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

The Vault (コレクション, Collection) is a menu that appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. 4, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and features many of the collection and record-keeping elements of the games. In Smash 4, the Vault itself is a part of the Games & More sub-menu, while in both Brawl and Ultimate, it is accessible directly from the main menu. The Vault in Brawl is depicted as a locked box with a green background. As of Smash 4, the Vault has effectively merged the function of Data sub-menu from Smash 64, Melee and Brawl.

Features

Album (Brawl, 3DS, Wii U & Ultimate)

This shows photos that the player has taken using the camera, be it from the Subspace Emissary, multiplayer mode, or another place in the game. In SSB4, snapshots can also be moved to player-created albums and commented upon. Ultimate does not have a dedicated in-game album, and instead screenshots are saved on the system album.

Challenges (Brawl, 3DS, Wii U & Ultimate)

Challenges are a plethora of achievements that can be accomplished in order to unlock prizes. These include Stages, Trophies, Stickers, CDs, Masterpieces, and edit parts for Stage Builder. Challenges return in both versions of SSB4 (though it is a top-level menu item in both versions rather than part of the Vault menu), with the 3DS version featuring challenges intended to be easier to complete compared to the Wii U version. In Ultimate, challenges are split into eight gameplay categories, those being Smash, Adventure, Spirit Board, Spirits, Classic Mode, Games & More, Online, and Other.
