| '''Cruel Melee''', '''Cruel Brawl''' and '''Cruel Smash''' are [[Multi-Man Melee and Brawl|Multi-Man]] modes in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', respectively. Like [[Endless mode]], this mode challenges the player to defeat as many opponents as possible ([[Fighting Wire Frames]] in ''Melee'', [[Fighting Alloy Team]] in ''Brawl'', and [[Fighting Mii Team]] in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''), with no [[KO]] limit or time limit before the mode ends; high scores in this mode are recorded by the number of opponents defeated.

| However, Cruel mode features a complete reversal of what is normally encountered in other Multi-Man modes. While all other modes give the opponents a low [[AI]] level and cause them to take high [[knockback]], making them very easy to KO in one hit, Cruel mode instead gives all of the opponents a high AI level (making them very aggressive), boosts their attack damage and applies the high knockback modifier to the player, making them the one who is very easy to KO in one hit. In addition, no [[item]]s will spawn at all in the mode.

| With up to five opponents on-screen at once, all ganging up on the player and with any single one of their attacks being an easy [[OHKO]], while the player must try to fight up to five aggressive high-AI opponents while only dealing regular knockback with their own attacks and without items to assist, attaining high scores in this mode is considered one of the toughest accomplishments in the game. Due to the relentless difficulty, players often have to resort to exploiting the AI; for example, in Cruel Melee, scores in the thousands can be obtained by exploiting an AI standstill bug, performed by standing absolutely still on the rightmost edge of the small right platform. This causes any CPUs, including the Wire Frames, to cease all movement and stand indefinitely unless the player is within attack range. In both Cruel Melee and Cruel Brawl, [[planking]] can be an effective strategy; stalling under the stage will often cause the Wire Frames or Alloys to [[self-destruct]] when attempting to [[edge-guard]] the player (as they still do not have any [[recovery]] special moves). In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', most possible exploits have been fixed as enemies will no longer follow the player if they jump far off the ledge, and will instead wait until the player gets back on stage. There are still some exploits that can help, a common one including using a fighter with large, horizontal hitboxes in their [[up special]]. Grabbing the ledge, dropping, double-jumping, then using the up special to grab the edge causing minor damage to the fighters on stage and occasionally tricks them into jumping off the stage and SD'ing. The most common fighter for this strategy is [[Lucina]], as she specifically is able to complete two challenges at once in {{forwiiu}}. Without AI exploitation, getting scores even higher than single-digit numbers is considered extremely difficult.

| | '''Cruel Melee''' and '''Cruel Brawl''' are [[Multi-Man Melee and Brawl|Multi-Man]] modes in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', respectively. Like the other modes, this game challenges the player to defeat as many opponents as possible. But in this case, the Fighting Wire Frames and Alloy Team have extremely high handicaps in their favour while the player has a handicap against them, essentially making this mode a complete reversal of what is normally encountered in other Multi-Man modes. |
| | |
| | The high scores of Cruel Melee and Brawl are recorded by the amount of opponents knocked out. Attaining very high scores in either game is considered one of the toughest actions in the game. Due to the unrelentless difficulty, players usually have to play almost perfectly to avoid careless mistakes. However, advanced tactics or glitches can be used to alleviate some of the difficulty. In Cruel Melee, very high scores (such as in the thousands) can be obtained using a freeze frame glitch. Exploits with the AI in Cruel Brawl, such as by [[planking]], or any other form of stalling under the stage, often cause the Alloys to self destruct when attempting to edgeguard the player. |

| *The ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' incarnation of this mode is infamous for its involvement in the [[Sonic (universe)#Sonic & Tails Rumor|Sonic and Tails Rumor]] spread by ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' magazine as an April Fools' joke. The rumor suggested that after defeating 20 Fighting Wire Frames in a single round, the player would be challenged to defeat [[Sonic]] and Tails of the [[Sonic (universe)|''Sonic'' series]], where victory would result in [[unlockable character|unlocking]] the characters. | | *The ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' incarnation of this mode is famous for its involvement in the [[Sonic (universe)#Sonic & Tails Rumor|Sonic and Tails Rumor]] spread by ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' magazine as an April Fool's Joke. The rumor suggested that after defeating 20 Fighting Wire Frames in a single round, the player would be challenged to defeat [[Sonic]] and Tails of the [[Sonic (universe)|''Sonic'' series]], where victory would result in [[unlockable character|unlocking]] the characters. The rumor also claimed that completing Classic mode with either character would give the player a "surprise". This rumor was proven false in premise (such as how there's no data of either character in the game's data) and in practice (using strategies such as [[Roy (SSBM)|Roy's]] [[Blazer]] or [[Jigglypuff (SSBM)|Jigglypuff's]] [[Rest]]) anlong with using the [[Master Hand Glitch]]. |
| *In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the track ''{{SSBBMusicLink|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Cruel Brawl}}'' that plays during Cruel Brawl cannot be played from ''Brawl''{{'}}s [[Sound Test]], and it cannot be selected as music for [[custom stage]]s. It would later become available in ''Smash 4'''s Sound Test.
| | *In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the song ''Cruel Brawl'' that plays while in Cruel Brawl is the only song missing from the ''Sound Test''. |
| *In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'''s Cruel Brawl, some Fighting Alloys are given stronger handicaps than others. This can be seen even further by modifying their knockback values with hacks. | |
| *In ''Melee'', {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}'s [[Rest]] is strong enough to [[OHKO]] the wireframes in Cruel Melee.
