'''Classic Mode''' ({{ja|勝ちあがり乱闘|Kachi Agari Rantō}}, ''Survival Smash'') is a single-player (optionally 2 players) mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Each character now has their own predetermined set of opponents and stages to face in this mode. A unique name is given to each character's path, and there may be special rules or conditions: for example, {{SSBU|Ryu}}'s path references ''Street Fighter II'' by using only [[Ω form]]s and [[Stamina Mode|Stamina]] mode alongside the fighters most closely representing the characters of ''Street Fighter II''. It is different from the Classic Mode versions found in the two versions of ''[[SSB4]]'', shown by the return to the style of Classic Mode that was in ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Brawl]]''. Just like in {{forwiiu}}, Classic Mode can also be challenged by two players. When playing with two players, the route will always be based on Player 1's character. 1v1 battles (aside from Terry and Kazuya’s Classic Mode) become 2v2 battles with two of the same opponent (if there is originally only one), one in an alternate costume. If P2 chooses the same costume as an opponent, the opponent will not switch to another costume unless they chose the same character as P1. | '''Classic Mode''' ({{ja|勝ちあがり乱闘|Kachi Agari Rantō}}, ''Survival Smash'') is a single-player (optionally 2 players) mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Similar to the Classic Modes for the [[Classic Mode (SSB4-3DS)|previous]] [[Classic Mode (SSB4-Wii U)|entries]], players can select an intensity level, indicated by the position of the lengthy mural. The highest allowed starting intensity is 5.0, and it will increase slightly, depending on how well the player does, after each victory, to a maximum of 9.9. Winning in fast times or with great dominance awards a "Nice Play!" label for the stage, and an intensity boost ranging from 0.6 to 1.4, depending also on how far along the player is in the game. Otherwise, the game's default intensity boost goes between 0.2 and 0.6, lower [[score]]s being awarded to long battles with more damage taken. The layout consists of seven stages plus a [[Bonus Stage|bonus stage]]. Unlike previous entries, the opponent in the last stage is not always [[Master Hand]] or [[Crazy Hand]]; each fighter has a different encounter at the end. Scores are also present in Classic Mode, which is displayed alongside the player's [[Global Smash Power]]. | Similar to the Classic Modes for the [[Classic Mode (SSB4-3DS)|previous]] [[Classic Mode (SSB4-Wii U)|entries]], players can select an intensity level, indicated by the position of the lengthy mural.

Players only have one stock, unlike previous installments. To [[continue]], the player can either spend {{b|Gold|collectible}} which lowers the intensity by 0.7 points, or use a '''Classic Ticket''' to keep the current intensity. Upon continuing, the match will start from where the player left off. Using a continue at any point during the run will stop the intensity from rising to 9.9, making the maximum possible intensity 9.8 for the rest of the run. However, it will not degrade a run already at intensity 9.9 if a ticket is used then. Continuing causes the player's score to go down. When playing with two players, the round does not fail until both players' stocks are lost. | Players only have one stock, unlike previous installments.

Classic Tickets can be obtained through clearing Classic Mode or from the [[shop]]. They may also be used before starting a Classic Mode game to increase the rewards given out when finishing the mode. | Classic Tickets can be obtained through clearing Classic Mode or from the [[shop]].

After clearing Classic Mode the player will be able to play a minigame over the [[Credits]] and, at the end of said minigame, see a [[congratulations screen]]; the music for the minigame and the image at the end are themed to each character.

Regular stages include Smash 1v1, 2v2, and Free-For-All battles where all enemy fighters must be defeated to proceed. Some variations include '''Giant Battles''', where at least one opponent is [[giant]], '''Metal Battles''', where at least one opponent is [[metal]], and '''Multi-Man Battles''', where eight or less enemies are fought three at a time. When playing with two players, the 1v1 battles are replaced with 2v1v1 battles against two copies of the same opponent, and any allies granted by the match are overwritten by the co-op player. | Regular stages include Smash 1v1, 2v2, and Free-For-All battles where all enemy fighters must be defeated to proceed.

This is a challenge in the style of {{b|Race to the Finish|disambiguation}}, but rather than having a standard [[time limit]], the player must run from a black hole that consumes the stage behind them. Glowing orbs are scattered throughout the side-scrolling area which increases the player's [[score]], some behind breakable blocks and [[bomb block]]s that encourage the player to go out of their way as the void closes in. Some scattered physics objects impede progress in a similar manner to [[Trophy Rush]]. At the end of the stage, a [[Barrel Cannon#Classic Mode (SSBU)|cannon]] blasts the player into a portal that ends the Bonus Game. Every fighter goes through this bonus game stage at some point during their classic mode. Every fighter goes through the exact same stage with no differences. | This is a challenge in the style of {{b|Race to the Finish|disambiguation}}, but rather than having a standard [[time limit]], the player must run from a black hole that consumes the stage behind them.

With the exception of the first and final round, Joker is joined by a character from the previous round using a light alternate costume. All rounds (except Round 2) take place on [[Mementos]] in three different forms. The boss of this route is {{SSBU|Master Hand}} on Ω form [[Mementos]] rather than [[Final Destination]].||The title refers to a recurring element in the ''Persona'' series, [https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Shadow_(Persona) Shadows]. The battle with Master Hand references the god [https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Demiurge Yaldabaoth]. The concept of allying with former opponents is a reference to a feature in the ''Persona'' series where after knocking down an opposing shadow with their weakness or a critical hit, the player can add them to their team through negotiations. | ||

For example, beating Classic Mode with {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}} will then trigger the fight to unlock {{SSBU|Bowser}}. If Bowser's Challenger Approaching duel has been previously attempted (via a timed encounter or a previous Classic Mode completion) or if he has already been unlocked through World of Light, {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}'s duel would be issued next. When playing with two players, Player 1 will participate in the duel, and their fighter is used to determine whose duel will be issued. | ||
