'''All-Star Mode''' ({{ja|オールスター|Ōrusutā}}), also referred to as simply '''All-Star''', is a gameplay mode available in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', that pits the player against every playable character in the game (other than [[Mii Fighter]]s in ''Smash 4''). The fights are separated into distinct rounds, and a [[All-Star Rest Area|rest area]] with a limited number of recovery items available between rounds. All-Star is replaced with [[#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|All-Star Smash]] (under [[Mob Smash]]) in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
 
'''All-Star Mode''' ({{ja|オールスター}}, ''Ōrusutā'') is a gameplay mode available in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' that pits the player against every playable character in the game. The character chosen has a stock of only one life in this mode and is effectively given no opportunities to recover health. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', it is unlocked by unlocking every character within the game, but it is available from the start in ''SSB4''.

{{incomplete|Do characters without special music always use the same track, or can they also have the alternate music? If a character's home stage is an unlockable stage that is not yet unlocked, what happens if they are the first member of a group (or will the game ensure they are never selected as the first member)?}}
[[File:MarioAllStarSSBM.png|thumb|300px|An example of the Icons displayed in the All-Star rest area to show the next opponent]]
All-Star mode made its debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', as an unlockable [[:Category:Single Player Modes|1-player mode]] which puts the player up against every playable character in the game.
All-Star Mode made its debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', as an unlockable [[:Category:Single-player modes|1-player mode]] which puts the player up against every [[fighter]] in the game. It is automatically unlocked upon unlocking every fighter.


During each battle, the player fights up to three different characters selected at random, overall fighting every character once. However, [[Mr. Game and Watch]] is always fought last, in a [[Classic Mode#Team battle|team]] of 25. Each opponent (except Mr. Game & Watch) wears one of their first three [[alternate costume]]s (not their default costume). If the player's character is wearing one of the first three alternate costumes and fights the same character, that opponent can wear its default costume but not the same costume as the player. Mr. Game & Watch will always wears his default costume, unless the player uses Mr. Game & Watch in his default costume, in which case they will wear the red costume.
All-Star Mode has 13 stages. The number of opponents per stage increases as the player advances: one opponent per stage for Stages 1 to 4, two per stage for Stages 5 to 8, three per stage for Stages 9 to 12, and a [[Classic Mode#Team battle|team]] of 25 Mr. Game & Watch for Stage 13. The opponents are selected at random from the entire roster, excluding {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}} (who is always fought last), so that each character is fought once. Each opponent (except Mr. Game & Watch) wears one of their first three [[alternate costume]]s, unless the player is wearing one of those three costumes, in which case that character can wear their default costume (but not the costume the player is wearing); Mr. Game & Watch will always wear his default costume, unless the player uses that costume, in which case they will wear the red costume.


For the first four battles, the player battles against one opponent. After four battles, the player will battle against two opponents per battle. After eight battles, the player will battle against three opponents per battle until the last fight against Team Mr. Game & Watch.
The player's percentage does not revert to 0% between battles. Instead, the [[All-Star Rest Area]] contains three [[Heart Container]]s, which the player can use to restore health between stages. Once one of these Heart Containers is consumed, it does not return for the rest of the mode. These Heart Containers, unlike normal ones, recover 999% damage (as they did in ''[[Smash 64]]'') instead of only 100% damage. Due to a glitch, however, entering the portal while damage is being healed will prevent the damage from healing any further, leaving it at the same amount of damage as when the portal was entered.


The characters are fought on the [[home stage]] of the first opponent in the group; for example, if the opponents were {{SSBM|Luigi}}, {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, and {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}, the stage would be [[Mushroom Kingdom]].
Other than the Heart Containers in the Rest Area, recovery items (such as [[food]], [[Maxim Tomato]]es, and [[egg]]s) do not appear at all in the mode. However, {{SSBM|Ness}}'s [[PSI Magnet]] and {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s [[Judgment]] 7 (which can drop a [[Food]] item) can still be used to recover health.


Unlike [[Classic Mode|Classic]] and [[Adventure Mode|Adventure]] modes, the player's percentage does not revert to 0% between battles; players can only recover health by using one of three [[Heart Container]]s available between matches located in the [[All-Star Rest Area]]. These Heart Containers, unlike normal containers, heal the player up to 999% (restoring the player to 0%, as they did in the original SSB) instead of only healing 100% damage. However, if the player enters the portal while damage is being healed, then the damage will not heal any further, and the next match will start with the same amount of damage the player had when he or she entered the portal.  
As a reward, the player can also collect random [[trophies]] that appear after every three battles; trophies that have not been collected are prioritized. Upon clearing All-Star Mode, the player unlocks both {{SSBM|Battlefield}} (the first time only) and a trophy of the character they used that can only be obtained this way or by playing 300 Vs. matches with that character; for all characters except Mr. Game & Watch, this trophy depicts them in a non-default costume.


While players can use {{SSBM|Ness}}'s [[PSI Magnet]] and {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s [[Judgement]] to recover health, there is no other way to recover with the exception of the Heart Containers; items such as [[food]], [[Maxim Tomato]]es, and [[egg]]s do not appear at all in the mode.
Each stage is fought on the [[home stage]] of the first opponent in the group; for example, if the opponents were {{SSBM|Luigi}}, {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, and {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}, the stage would be [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. No character has [[Big Blue]] nor [[past stage]]s as their home stage for All-Star Mode, so these stages are never fought on in this mode. For some fighters, particularly fighters with a home stage set outside their universe, the stage will have a specially selected track which cannot normally play on the stage; for example, Pichu's stage is set as [[Fourside]], but "Battle Theme" plays. However, Ganondorf, who is fought on [[Brinstar Depths]], uses the default theme for that stage, despite it not being from his universe.


As a reward, the player can also collect random trophies that appear after the third, sixth, ninth, and twelfth battles.
[[Unlockable stage]]s that have not yet been unlocked are still used. This differs from ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4''{{'}}s All-Star Modes, in which unlockable stages not yet unlocked will simply not be chosen.
 
For some characters, particularly characters with a home stage set outside their universe, the stage will have a specially selected track from their series play; this is the only time these tracks can play on these stages. For example, Pichu's stage is set as [[Fourside]], but the "Battle Theme" plays. The only exception is Ganondorf, for whom the normal Brinstar Depths music is played.

All-Star Mode returns in ''Brawl'', and is mostly unchanged from ''Melee''. The player still gets 3 Heart Containers, random Trophies (however, they will not appear as a question mark if the game is paused), and fight through every character in the game. The player still only has 1 stock, and they do not regain health between matches without a Heart Container (although the player can now enter the teleporter without having to wait for their health to fully recover).

The player still only has 1 stock, and they do not regain health between matches without a Heart Container (although after using one, the player can now enter the teleporter without having to wait for their health to fully recover).


In addition to Ness and Mr. Game & Watch, Lucas and Peach can heal themselves without a heart container by using [[PSI Magnet]] and [[Peach Blossom]] respectively.
In addition to {{SSBB|Ness}} and {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSBB|Lucas}} and {{SSBB|Peach}} can heal themselves without a Heart Container by using [[PSI Magnet]] and [[Peach Blossom]] respectively. Furthermore, fighters can be healed via the microgames in [[WarioWare, Inc.]]


However, instead of the matches having progressively larger enemy teams in random order, the order the opponents are fought is based on the first game in their series to be released (in Japan), with characters from the oldest series being fought first. As such, the player will always fight {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}} first and {{SSBB|Olimar}} last. In effect, this means that stages for ''{{uv|Kid Icarus}}'', ''{{uv|Ice Climber}}'', and ''{{uv|Pikmin}}'' will be easier than ''{{uv|Mario}}'', ''{{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}'', and ''{{uv|Pokémon}}'', due to the latter three universes having multiple opponents.
The order in which the opponents are fought is based on the Japanese release date of the first game in the fighter's/fighters' universe, with fighters from older series being fought first. As such, the player will always fight Mr. Game & Watch first and {{SSBB|Olimar}} last, with Olimar's difficulty ramped up. In effect, this means that stages for {{uv|Kid Icarus}}, {{uv|Ice Climber}}, and {{uv|Pikmin}} will be easier than {{uv|Mario}}, {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}, and {{uv|Pokémon}}, due to the latter three universes having multiple opponents.


Up to two enemies can appear on the stage at once; when a series has more than two representatives, a new fighter will appear a few seconds after the player KOs one of the opponents. On stages with multiple opponents, the order of the opponents is random.

To defeat {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}, the player must defeat {{SSBB|Squirtle}}, {{SSBB|Ivysaur}} and {{SSBB|Charizard}}; once one is defeated, Pokémon Trainer will send out the next one. For {{uv|Metroid}}, the player will battle either {{SSBB|Samus}} or {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}, selected at random; for ''The Legend of Zelda'', the player will battle either {{SSBB|Zelda}} or {{SSBB|Sheik}}, selected at random.

For {{uv|Metroid}} and {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}, the player will battle one of {{SSBB|Zelda}} or {{SSBB|Sheik}} and one of {{SSBB|Samus}} or {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}, selected at random.


The stage the player fights each character on will be a [[home stage]] from ''Brawl'', randomly selected if there are more than one that the player has ({{SSBB|Battlefield}} and {{SSBB|Final Destination}} are not considered home stages). [[Unlockable stage]]s will not appear unless the player has unlocked them. {{b|Mario Bros.|stage}} is {{SSBB|R.O.B.}}'s home stage and does not appear as a ''Mario'' home stage; if Mario Bros. has not yet been unlocked, R.O.B. will appear in [[Delfino Plaza]] instead.
Each fighter is fought on one of their [[home stage]]s (randomly selected if there are multiple). {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} universe stages (such as {{SSBB|Battlefield}} and {{SSBB|Final Destination}}) and [[Past Stages]] are not used as home stages for any fighter. Unlike ''Melee'', [[Unlockable stage]]s can only appear if they have been unlocked. [[Mario Bros.]] is used as {{SSBB|R.O.B.}}'s home stage and does not appear as a ''Mario'' home stage; if Mario Bros. has not yet been unlocked, [[Delfino Plaza]] is used instead.


When the player finishes All-Star Mode with a character, they will enter [[Character Roll Call]].
At the end of All-Star Mode, the player can unlock their fighter's Final Smash trophy. Completing the mode in co-op unlocks both characters' Final Smash trophies together. However, the high score (along with the Final Smash trophies unlocked in co-op) is tracked into a unique reserved slot, as opposed to a specific fighter.


The order in which 'Universes' are fought is listed below:

As a reward for completing this mode, the player will earn a trophy of their character using their [[Final Smash]]. Additionally, the player will see an interesting congratulatory picture that plays according to what their fighter is. For example, for Snake, it shows Snake in his box with [[Zero Suit Samus (SSBB)|Zero Suit Samus]] and other various bounty hunters looking for him.

===Co-op mode===
===Co-op mode===
All-Star mode in ''Brawl'' may be played with 2 players. When playing co-op, the player receives a total of 5 heart containers, but if either player dies, the game is over and will be asked to continue. The opponents are the same until the last battle where the players face 2 [[Olimar]]s instead of one (a possible nod to {{s|pikipedia|Louie}} from ''Pikmin 2''). Playing All-Star with 2 players allows them to receive two them the [[Final Smash]] trophies at the same time. However, co-op play will not count towards the [[Challenges]] for All-Star mode, such as clearing it with ten characters.
In ''Brawl'', All-Star Mode has a [[co-op mode]] that is played with two players. In co-op mode, the rest area has six Heart Containers instead of three; the new three Heart Containers appear underneath the platforms the normal three are on. If either player is KO'd, both players are sent to the [[continue]] screen. The opponents are the same as single player until the last battle, where the players face two [[Olimar]]s instead of one (a possible nod to {{iw|pikipedia|Louie}} from ''Pikmin 2'').
 
Playing All-Star Mode with two players allows them to receive two [[Final Smash]] trophies at the same time. However, co-op play does not count towards the [[Challenges]] for All-Star Mode. The co-op high score and Final Smash trophies are not attached to either fighter. Instead, they both appear in its own reserved slot.

Unlike previous installments, All-Star mode is playable from the start of the game. However, the mode is incomplete, as players cannot fight against characters they have not yet unlocked; the only way to completely beat All-Star mode and attain most of the rewards from the [[Challenges]] is by unlocking all characters.
Unlike previous installments, All-Star Mode is playable from the start of the game. However, the mode is incomplete at first, as players cannot fight against fighters or on stages they have not yet unlocked. Once all unlockable fighters have been unlocked, it is referred to as the "True All-Star Mode," which is required for many of the rewards from the [[Challenges]] in {{forwiiu}}. Downloadable fighters and stages will also be added to the mode if the player obtains them, but their presence or absence will not affect any of the challenges, and if the player deletes the DLC data, they will be removed from the mode until they are re-downloaded.


The order in which different characters are fought is now based on a character's personal first appearance. In {{for3ds}}, characters start with the oldest characters (1980) and progress to the newest one (2013); in {{forwiiu}}, the order is reversed, with the newest characters fought first and the oldest ones fought last. [[Mii]]s are not fought at all.
[[Continue]]s are not available, so getting [[KO]]'d or running out of time results in an immediate game over, in a similar manner to ''Brawl''{{'}}s [[Boss Battles Mode]]. However, [[Coins|gold]], [[Global Smash Power]], and any other rewards earned during the run are retained.


Up to three enemies can appear at a time (two if played on co-op) with four to seven opponents per stage with a five minute time-limit. Stages are chosen randomly from some of the [[home stage]]s of that era's characters (this includes stages that are not yet unlocked).
The order in which different characters are fought is now based on a fighter's personal first appearance in Japan (all characters debuted first in Japan with the exception of [[Diddy Kong]], [[Sonic]], and [[Zero Suit Samus]], while [[Greninja]] debuted on the same day worldwide). In {{for3ds}}, the order of opponents starts with the oldest fighters (1980) and progresses to the newest ones (2013 or 2015, depending on whether {{SSB4|Corrin}} has been downloaded); in {{forwiiu}}, the order is reversed, with the newest fighters fought first and the oldest ones fought last. {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}s are absent from this All-Star Mode.


Some characters with special alternate costumes can wear these costumes in All-Star Mode; {{SSB4|Little Mac}} can wear his wireframe costume, {{SSB4|Wario}} can wear his classic costume, {{SSB4|Robin}} and {{SSB4|Wii Fit Trainer}} can be either male or female, and the {{SSB4|Villager}} can wear any costume. Both [[Alph]] and the [[Koopaling]]s can take the place of their original characters, {{SSB4|Olimar}} and {{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}}, respectively; however, their appearances will seem misplaced in relation to the chronology, as Alph's debut in ''Pikmin 3'' comes twelve years after Olimar's in ''Pikmin'' and the Koopalings' debut in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' predates Bowser Jr.'s debut in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' by fourteen years.
Up to three enemies can appear at a time (two if played on co-op in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''), with four to nine opponents per stage with a five-minute time limit. Stages are chosen randomly from some of the [[home stage]]s of that era's fighters (this includes stages that are not yet unlocked; stages from a [[universe]] with fighters that are all unlockable/downloadable will not be selected until the respective fighter have been obtained, for example ''[[Flat Zone 2]]'' will not be selected in the ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' version of All-Star mode until {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}} has been unlocked), but overly large stages such as [[Palutena's Temple]], [[The Great Cave Offensive]], and [[75m]] are never picked. Wii U stages will use their [[8-Player Smash]] variant if applicable; similarly, some 3DS stages have certain elements removed, as noted below.


The recovery items available in the Rest Area are one Special [[Heart Container]] (healing 999%), a [[Maxim Tomato]] (healing 50%), a [[Fairy Bottle]] (healing 100%, but only if the player's damage is 100% or greater), and, if all characters are unlocked, a second Special Heart Container. Unlike in previous games, no items spawn at all during battles. In addition, while in the Rest Area, the player's damage is fixed and cannot be altered in any way outside the provided healing items—neither self-damaging moves (such as [[Judge]]) nor self-healing moves (such as [[Sun Salutation]]) will have any effect on the player's damage.
Ten fighters with special alternate costumes can wear these costumes in All-Star Mode:
*{{SSB4|Little Mac}} can wear his wireframe costume.
*{{SSB4|Wario}} can wear his classic overalls costume.
*{{SSB4|Cloud}} can wear his Advent Children costume.
*{{SSB4|Bayonetta}} can wear her original ''Bayonetta'' costume.
* {{SSB4|Villager}}, {{SSB4|Wii Fit Trainer}}, {{SSB4|Robin}}, and {{SSB4|Corrin}} can be either male or female.
*Both [[Alph]] and the [[Koopalings]] can take the place of their original characters, {{SSB4|Olimar}} and {{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}}, respectively. However, their appearances will seem misplaced in relation to the chronology, as Alph's debut in ''Pikmin 3'' comes 12 years after Olimar's in ''Pikmin'', and the Koopalings' debut in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' predates Bowser Jr.'s debut in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' by 14 years.


While previous games used knockback handicaps to make each individual opponent easier to defeat, ''SSB4'' instead uses damage multipliers to increase the damage dealt to opponents while reducing the damage taken by the player.
The recovery items available in the rest area are one Special [[Heart Container]] (healing 999%), a [[Maxim Tomato]] (healing 50%), a [[Fairy Bottle]] (healing 100%, but only if the player's damage is 100% or greater), and, if all fighters are unlocked, a second Special Heart Container. In the Group version, two extra Special Heart Containers are added. If the player attempts to carry one of these items outside of the rest area (e.g. carrying the Fairy Bottle normally, or [[Pocket]]ing an item), it will be lost without healing the player. Unlike in previous games, no items spawn at all during battles. In addition, while in the rest area, the player's damage is fixed and cannot be altered in any way outside the provided healing items—self-damaging moves (such as [[Judge]]) and self-healing moves (such as [[Sun Salutation]]) will not have any effect on the player's damage. [[Chomp]] cannot boost the effectiveness of healing items in the rest area.


Unlike previous games, the player may not [[continue]]. If the player is defeated, any gold, trophies and custom parts earned so far will be retained, but they must start over.
Rather than the knockback handicaps used in previous games, in ''SSB4'', damage multipliers are used to increase the damage dealt to opponents while reducing the damage taken by the player. The CPUs also have launch rates slightly below 1.0x, possibly to stop some moves from KOing them too early due to the damage multipliers. However, attacks from [[projectile]]s and other articles and props—such as Charizard's [[Flare Blitz]], Olimar's Pikmin, and Ness's yo-yo—are not affected by the player's damage boost or the opponents' damage reduction. In addition, stage hazards will deal full damage and knockback to players and enemies alike (such as falling onto the track in [[Mute City (3DS)|Mute City]]). As a result, prop-based attacks and stage hazards are by far the greatest threats to the player in this mode, since the opponents will otherwise be unable to reliably KO the player until approximately 200%. In this mode, opponents cannot be [[Star KO]]'d or [[Screen KO]]'d.


Additionally, the player is not allowed to use any [[Character customization|customizations]], as some equipment can sidestep the damage recovery limits that All-Star mode has. As a result, excluding the Miis, the player can only use the default special moves that each fighter has for this game mode.
The player is unable to use any [[Character customization|customizations]], so with the exception of Mii Fighters, fighters can only use their default special moves.


When the player finishes All-Star Mode with a character, the [[credits]] will roll, and they will earn the character's "(Alt.)" trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' or a [[Final Smash]] trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''; "(Alt.)" trophies in the Wii U version are instead randomly obtained from the [[Trophy Shop]] after beating [[Classic Mode]] with the character in question.
In Solo mode, when the player finishes All-Star Mode, the [[credits]] will roll and they will earn their fighter's "(Alt.)" trophy (in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'') or a [[Final Smash]] trophy (in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''). In ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', "(Alt.)" trophies are instead randomly obtained from the [[Trophy Shop]] after beating {{SSB4-Wii U|Classic Mode}} or All-Star Mode with that fighter. Completing the mode in co-op unlocks both characters' respective trophies.

===Update history===
'''{{GameIcon|ssb4-wiiu}} [[List of updates (SSB4-Wii U)#1.0.2|1.0.2]]'''
*8-Player Smash stage variants added in this update are now used in All-Star Mode.
'''{{GameIcon|ssb4-3ds}} [[List of updates (SSB4-3DS)#1.1.1|1.1.1]]'''
*The {{b|Duck Hunt|stage}} stage added as a free stage.
==''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
All-Star no longer exists in the same format in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Instead, it is succeeded by '''All-Star Smash''', a sub-mode of Mob Smash (formerly [[Multi-Man Smash]]). The player fights all unlocked and downloaded fighters (except {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s), with opponents appearing endlessly. Like the other sub-modes of Mob Smash, the battle is fought on any [[Battlefield form]] of the player's choice. No items will spawn.
The opponents appear from oldest to newest based on their first appearance within their home series in Japan. When all the fighters have been defeated, the cycle repeats, looping back to the oldest fighters. Opponents will use their default costume unless the player is using that fighter's default costume.
All-Star in ''Ultimate'' is similar to the final Co-Op [[event match]]es in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and {{forwiiu}} ([[Co-Op Event 21: The True All-Star Battle]] and [[The Ultimate Battle]], respectively) and fought in the same order as All-Star Mode from {{for3ds}}; only that [[Mario]] and [[Donkey Kong]] swap placements, [[Yoshi]] switches his placement with [[Captain Falcon]] and all {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}} [[List of Pokémon|Pokémon]] are fought in a different order.

==Origin==
[[File:KSS The Arena rest area.png|thumb|The Arena's Rest Area in ''Kirby Super Star''.]]
All-Star Mode in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' games is inspired by The Arena subgame in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, and the Boss Endurance in other {{uv|Kirby}} games. Like The Arena and Boss Endurance, the selected fighter has to battle and defeat every other fighter in the game, similar to how [[Kirby]] has to defeat every boss in his games.


Note: "True" All-Star mode refers to having all unlockable characters unlocked.
The main difference is that instead of [[Maxim Tomato]]es to refill a health bar, the player collects [[Heart Container]]s from {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} series to empty their damage meter. The rest area in All-Star is also very similar in appearance to that in The Arena, and the music played in ''Melee''{{'}}s version is a remix of the song that plays in the save cottages in {{iw|wikirby|The Great Cave Offensive}} from ''Kirby Super Star''. Additionally, instead of a [[Warp Star]] used to teleport to the boss battle, the fighter goes into a vortex to compete in the battle.

==Trivia==
*The {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} is the only character in the entire series to use a [[revival platform]] in All-Star mode.
[[File:All Star true compare Wii U.png|thumb|The menu icon in ''for Wii U'' before (top) and after (bottom) unlocking all characters.]]
*During the [[Super Smash Bros. Direct]], [[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated that [[Assist Trophies]] would "figure into All-Star mode" in some fashion. However, Assist Trophies ended up playing no role in the mode, and they do not even spawn as regular items within battles; it is unknown if this was a translation issue, or a cut feature.
*In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} uses a [[revival platform]] as an opponent in All-Star Mode, because the player must KO all three of Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon. He is the only character in the entire series to do so.
*{{forwiiu}} is the only game where the teleporter to the next battle isn't on the main ground.
*The [[Mii Fighter]]s are the only playable fighters in any ''Super Smash Bros.'' game to be absent from All-Star Mode.
**If they were included, they would either appear after [[Lucario]] (corresponding to the launch on the [[Wii]] and with it, the release of the {{s|miiwiki|Mii Maker}} and ''{{s|miiwiki|Wii Sports}}'') or [[Greninja]] (corresponding to the release of {{For3ds}} and the debut of Mii Fighters)
*{{forwiiu}} is the only game where the teleporter to the next battle is on a platform instead of the main ground.
*Due to All-Star Mode being available from the start in ''for Wii U'', it is the only game in which an unlockable character can normally be unlocked by completing All-Star Mode (that being {{SSB4|Dark Pit}}).
**However, in ''Melee'', if [[Erase Data]] is used to erase hidden characters after unlocking All-Star Mode, it is possible to unlock some characters via All-Star Mode.
*In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', the menu changes when the "true All-Star Mode" is unlocked.
**In ''for Nintendo 3DS'', the menu icon initially shows {{SSB4|Pac-Man}}, {{SSB4|Sonic}}, {{SSB4|Mario}}, {{SSB4|Mega Man}}, and {{SSB4|Link}}; the bottom screen image shows a padlock icon, Pac-Man, Mario, {{SSB4|Donkey Kong}}, {{SSB4|Luigi}}, {{SSB4|Little Mac}}, {{SSB4|Peach}}, and {{SSB4|Bowser}} with the description reading, "It's every fighter for themselves! Take on each fighter in set conditions." When "true All-Star Mode" is unlocked, the menu icon gains {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSB4|Kirby}}, and {{SSB4|Pikachu}}; the bottom screen image loses the padlock and gains Mr. Game & Watch, {{SSB4|Duck Hunt}}, and {{SSB4|R.O.B.}} and the description changes to read, "Time to fight everyone! Defeat every fighter in set conditions."
**In ''for Wii U'', the menu icon is initially the same as in ''for Nintendo 3DS'' with the only difference being the padlock being positioned next to Link in the icon. When "true All-Star Mode" is unlocked, the same changes in ''for Nintendo 3DS'' occur along with the removal of the padlock.
*In the English version of the [[Super Smash Bros. Direct]], [[Masahiro Sakurai]] was mistranslated as saying that [[Assist Trophies]] would "figure into All-Star mode" in some fashion in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. However, Assist Trophies ended up playing no role in the mode, and they do not even spawn as regular items within battles. In Japanese, Sakurai was instead referring to the "all-star" cast as opposed to the mode itself.
*The only stages that have never appeared in All-Star for any installment are [[Planet Zebes]], [[Sector Z]], [[Pictochat]], [[Pac-Maze]], [[Jungle Hijinxs]], and [[Miiverse]].
*[[Hero]] from {{uv|Dragon Quest}} was the only fighter who is placed in order based on their iteration rather than the character's debut. Prior to Version 8.0.0, his placement was based on the release date of ''{{s|wikipedia|Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age}}'' (July 28, 2017) rather than the release date of the original ''{{iw|wikipedia|Dragon Quest|video game}}'' (May 27, 1986). Starting from Version 8.0.0, his placement is now based on the release date of ''{{s|wikipedia|Dragon Quest III}}'' (February 10, 1988).
**Conversely, other fighters with an iteration different from their debut, such as [[Link]], are placed in order based on the character's debut.  If Hero were to be placed accordingly, he would appear between [[Zelda]] and [[Samus]].
**Although not by name, All-Star Smash was the only in-game occurrence where the Luminary's debut is counted as ''Dragon Quest XI'' rather than ''Dragon Quest XI S'' (September 27, 2019) prior to Version 8.0.0.
**This also makes Hero the only character to have their All-Star placement based on an [[alternate costume]] character's debut rather than the default (as [[Olimar]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] use their debuts for their placements rather than those of [[Alph]] and the [[Koopalings]]), as well as the only character to change his All-Star placement through an update.
*[[Yoshi]] and [[Captain Falcon]] are the only characters with the same release date, but different games, as both ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[F-Zero]]'' released on November 21, 1990 as {{s|wikipedia|launch title}}s for the {{s|wikipedia|Super Nintendo Entertainment System}}.

All-Star Rest Area in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
The All-Star rest area in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

All-Star Mode (オールスター), also referred to as simply All-Star, is a gameplay mode available in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. 4, that pits the player against every playable character in the game (other than Mii Fighters in Smash 4). The fights are separated into distinct rounds, and a rest area with a limited number of recovery items available between rounds. All-Star is replaced with All-Star Smash (under Mob Smash) in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

An example of the Icons displayed in the All-Star rest area to show the next opponent

All-Star Mode made its debut in Super Smash Bros. Melee, as an unlockable 1-player mode which puts the player up against every fighter in the game. It is automatically unlocked upon unlocking every fighter.

All-Star Mode has 13 stages. The number of opponents per stage increases as the player advances: one opponent per stage for Stages 1 to 4, two per stage for Stages 5 to 8, three per stage for Stages 9 to 12, and a team of 25 Mr. Game & Watch for Stage 13. The opponents are selected at random from the entire roster, excluding Mr. Game & Watch (who is always fought last), so that each character is fought once. Each opponent (except Mr. Game & Watch) wears one of their first three alternate costumes, unless the player is wearing one of those three costumes, in which case that character can wear their default costume (but not the costume the player is wearing); Mr. Game & Watch will always wear his default costume, unless the player uses that costume, in which case they will wear the red costume.

The player's percentage does not revert to 0% between battles. Instead, the All-Star Rest Area contains three Heart Containers, which the player can use to restore health between stages. Once one of these Heart Containers is consumed, it does not return for the rest of the mode. These Heart Containers, unlike normal ones, recover 999% damage (as they did in Smash 64) instead of only 100% damage. Due to a glitch, however, entering the portal while damage is being healed will prevent the damage from healing any further, leaving it at the same amount of damage as when the portal was entered.

Other than the Heart Containers in the Rest Area, recovery items (such as food, Maxim Tomatoes, and eggs) do not appear at all in the mode. However, Ness's PSI Magnet and Mr. Game & Watch's Judgment 7 (which can drop a Food item) can still be used to recover health.

As a reward, the player can also collect random trophies that appear after every three battles; trophies that have not been collected are prioritized. Upon clearing All-Star Mode, the player unlocks both Battlefield (the first time only) and a trophy of the character they used that can only be obtained this way or by playing 300 Vs. matches with that character; for all characters except Mr. Game & Watch, this trophy depicts them in a non-default costume.

Each stage is fought on the home stage of the first opponent in the group; for example, if the opponents were Luigi, Pikachu, and Ice Climbers, the stage would be Mushroom Kingdom. No character has Big Blue nor past stages as their home stage for All-Star Mode, so these stages are never fought on in this mode. For some fighters, particularly fighters with a home stage set outside their universe, the stage will have a specially selected track which cannot normally play on the stage; for example, Pichu's stage is set as Fourside, but "Battle Theme" plays. However, Ganondorf, who is fought on Brinstar Depths, uses the default theme for that stage, despite it not being from his universe.

Unlockable stages that have not yet been unlocked are still used. This differs from Brawl and Smash 4's All-Star Modes, in which unlockable stages not yet unlocked will simply not be chosen.

Bold denotes a track that does not play on that stage in Versus Mode. Italics denotes an unlockable stage.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

All-Star Mode returns in Brawl, and is mostly unchanged from Melee. The player still gets 3 Heart Containers, as well as random trophies (which, unlike in Melee, do not appear as a question mark if the game is paused), and they fight through every fighter in the game. The player still only has 1 stock, and they do not regain health between matches without a Heart Container (although after using one, the player can now enter the teleporter without having to wait for their health to fully recover).

In addition to Ness and Mr. Game & Watch, Lucas and Peach can heal themselves without a Heart Container by using PSI Magnet and Peach Blossom respectively. Furthermore, fighters can be healed via the microgames in WarioWare, Inc.

The order in which the opponents are fought is based on the Japanese release date of the first game in the fighter's/fighters' universe, with fighters from older series being fought first. As such, the player will always fight Mr. Game & Watch first and Olimar last, with Olimar's difficulty ramped up. In effect, this means that stages for Kid Icarus, Ice Climber, and Pikmin will be easier than Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon, due to the latter three universes having multiple opponents.

Up to two enemies can appear on the stage at once; when a series has more than two characters, a new fighter will appear a few seconds after the player KOs one of the opponents. On stages with multiple opponents, the order of the opponents is random.

To defeat Pokémon Trainer, the player must defeat Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard; once one is defeated, the Trainer will send out the next one. For Metroid and The Legend of Zelda, the player will battle one of Zelda or Sheik and one of Samus or Zero Suit Samus, selected at random.

Each fighter is fought on one of their home stages (randomly selected if there are multiple). Super Smash Bros. universe stages (such as Battlefield and Final Destination) and Past Stages are not used as home stages for any fighter. Unlike Melee, Unlockable stages can only appear if they have been unlocked. Mario Bros. is used as R.O.B.'s home stage and does not appear as a Mario home stage; if Mario Bros. has not yet been unlocked, Delfino Plaza is used instead.

At the end of All-Star Mode, the player can unlock their fighter's Final Smash trophy. Completing the mode in co-op unlocks both characters' Final Smash trophies together. However, the high score (along with the Final Smash trophies unlocked in co-op) is tracked into a unique reserved slot, as opposed to a specific fighter.

When the player finishes All-Star Mode with a fighter, they will enter Character Roll Call.

The order in which universes are fought is listed below:

Italics denote unlockable stages that the player is not guaranteed to have upon unlocking the mode.

  1. ^ If Mario Bros. has not been unlocked, Delfino Plaza is instead used when fighting R.O.B.
  2. ^ No fighters in Brawl are featured in the 1989 game, EarthBound Beginnings. The first game in the series which has characters featured as fighters in Brawl is EarthBound, released on August 27, 1994.
  3. ^ Wario's first appearance was actually in the game, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, which released on October 21, 1992; however, according to Masahiro Sakurai on the Super Smash Bros. Brawl website, this is based on his first main role in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3.[1]
  4. ^ Pokémon Trainer uses all three of his Pokémon (SquirtleHeadSSBB.png Squirtle, IvysaurHeadSSBB.png Ivysaur, and CharizardHeadSSBB.png Charizard) individually.

As a reward for completing this mode, the player will earn a trophy of their fighter using their Final Smash. Additionally, the player will see an interesting congratulatory picture that plays according to what their fighter is. For example, for Snake, it shows Snake in his box with Zero Suit Samus and other various bounty hunters looking for him.

Co-op mode[edit]

In Brawl, All-Star Mode has a co-op mode that is played with two players. In co-op mode, the rest area has six Heart Containers instead of three; the new three Heart Containers appear underneath the platforms the normal three are on. If either player is KO'd, both players are sent to the continue screen. The opponents are the same as single player until the last battle, where the players face two Olimars instead of one (a possible nod to Louie from Pikmin 2).

Playing All-Star Mode with two players allows them to receive two Final Smash trophies at the same time. However, co-op play does not count towards the Challenges for All-Star Mode. The co-op high score and Final Smash trophies are not attached to either fighter. Instead, they both appear in its own reserved slot.

Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]

The All-Star Rest Area in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Unlike previous installments, All-Star Mode is playable from the start of the game. However, the mode is incomplete at first, as players cannot fight against fighters or on stages they have not yet unlocked. Once all unlockable fighters have been unlocked, it is referred to as the "True All-Star Mode," which is required for many of the rewards from the Challenges in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Downloadable fighters and stages will also be added to the mode if the player obtains them, but their presence or absence will not affect any of the challenges, and if the player deletes the DLC data, they will be removed from the mode until they are re-downloaded.

Continues are not available, so getting KO'd or running out of time results in an immediate game over, in a similar manner to Brawl's Boss Battles Mode. However, gold, Global Smash Power, and any other rewards earned during the run are retained.

The order in which different characters are fought is now based on a fighter's personal first appearance in Japan (all characters debuted first in Japan with the exception of Diddy Kong, Sonic, and Zero Suit Samus, while Greninja debuted on the same day worldwide). In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, the order of opponents starts with the oldest fighters (1980) and progresses to the newest ones (2013 or 2015, depending on whether Corrin has been downloaded); in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the order is reversed, with the newest fighters fought first and the oldest ones fought last. Mii Fighters are absent from this All-Star Mode.

Up to three enemies can appear at a time (two if played on co-op in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS), with four to nine opponents per stage with a five-minute time limit. Stages are chosen randomly from some of the home stages of that era's fighters (this includes stages that are not yet unlocked; stages from a universe with fighters that are all unlockable/downloadable will not be selected until the respective fighter have been obtained, for example Flat Zone 2 will not be selected in the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS version of All-Star mode until Mr. Game & Watch has been unlocked), but overly large stages such as Palutena's Temple, The Great Cave Offensive, and 75m are never picked. Wii U stages will use their 8-Player Smash variant if applicable; similarly, some 3DS stages have certain elements removed, as noted below.

Ten fighters with special alternate costumes can wear these costumes in All-Star Mode:

  • Little Mac can wear his wireframe costume.
  • Wario can wear his classic overalls costume.
  • Cloud can wear his Advent Children costume.
  • Bayonetta can wear her original Bayonetta costume.
  • Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Robin, and Corrin can be either male or female.
  • Both Alph and the Koopalings can take the place of their original characters, Olimar and Bowser Jr., respectively. However, their appearances will seem misplaced in relation to the chronology, as Alph's debut in Pikmin 3 comes 12 years after Olimar's in Pikmin, and the Koopalings' debut in Super Mario Bros. 3 predates Bowser Jr.'s debut in Super Mario Sunshine by 14 years.

The recovery items available in the rest area are one Special Heart Container (healing 999%), a Maxim Tomato (healing 50%), a Fairy Bottle (healing 100%, but only if the player's damage is 100% or greater), and, if all fighters are unlocked, a second Special Heart Container. In the Group version, two extra Special Heart Containers are added. If the player attempts to carry one of these items outside of the rest area (e.g. carrying the Fairy Bottle normally, or Pocketing an item), it will be lost without healing the player. Unlike in previous games, no items spawn at all during battles. In addition, while in the rest area, the player's damage is fixed and cannot be altered in any way outside the provided healing items—self-damaging moves (such as Judge) and self-healing moves (such as Sun Salutation) will not have any effect on the player's damage. Chomp cannot boost the effectiveness of healing items in the rest area.

Rather than the knockback handicaps used in previous games, in SSB4, damage multipliers are used to increase the damage dealt to opponents while reducing the damage taken by the player. The CPUs also have launch rates slightly below 1.0x, possibly to stop some moves from KOing them too early due to the damage multipliers. However, attacks from projectiles and other articles and props—such as Charizard's Flare Blitz, Olimar's Pikmin, and Ness's yo-yo—are not affected by the player's damage boost or the opponents' damage reduction. In addition, stage hazards will deal full damage and knockback to players and enemies alike (such as falling onto the track in Mute City). As a result, prop-based attacks and stage hazards are by far the greatest threats to the player in this mode, since the opponents will otherwise be unable to reliably KO the player until approximately 200%. In this mode, opponents cannot be Star KO'd or Screen KO'd.

The player is unable to use any customizations, so with the exception of Mii Fighters, fighters can only use their default special moves.

In Solo mode, when the player finishes All-Star Mode, the credits will roll and they will earn their fighter's "(Alt.)" trophy (in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS) or a Final Smash trophy (in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U). In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, "(Alt.)" trophies are instead randomly obtained from the Trophy Shop after beating Classic Mode or All-Star Mode with that fighter. Completing the mode in co-op unlocks both characters' respective trophies.

Update history[edit]

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 1.0.2

  • 8-Player Smash stage variants added in this update are now used in All-Star Mode.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS 1.1.1

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

All-Star no longer exists in the same format in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Instead, it is succeeded by All-Star Smash, a sub-mode of Mob Smash (formerly Multi-Man Smash). The player fights all unlocked and downloaded fighters (except Mii Fighters), with opponents appearing endlessly. Like the other sub-modes of Mob Smash, the battle is fought on any Battlefield form of the player's choice. No items will spawn.

The opponents appear from oldest to newest based on their first appearance within their home series in Japan. When all the fighters have been defeated, the cycle repeats, looping back to the oldest fighters. Opponents will use their default costume unless the player is using that fighter's default costume.

All-Star in Ultimate is similar to the final Co-Op event matches in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (Co-Op Event 21: The True All-Star Battle and The Ultimate Battle, respectively) and fought in the same order as All-Star Mode from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS; only that Mario and Donkey Kong swap placements, Yoshi switches his placement with Captain Falcon and all Generation I Pokémon are fought in a different order.

Fighters in italics denote starter characters. Bold denote downloadable characters.

  1. ^ Despite Little Mac making his debut in Punch-Out!! for the NES, his placement is based on the nameless boxer's debut in the original arcade game. If Little Mac's placement was based on his debut in the NES game (September 18, 1987), then he would be placed between Ken and Mega Man.
  2. ^ Despite the Luminary being the default costume, Hero's placement is based on Erdrick's debut in Dragon Quest III (titled Dragon Warrior III in North America for its initial release). Prior to Version 8.0.0, Hero's placement was based on the Luminary's debut in Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (July 28, 2017), which put him as the second to last fighter to be fought before Byleth.
  3. ^ This is based on his debut within his home series. If Sonic's placement was based on his first appearance as a cameo in Rad Mobile (October 3, 1990), then he would be placed between Dr. Mario and Captain Falcon.
  4. ^ The trainer does not appear in the background. SquirtleHeadSSBU.png Squirtle is always fought first. IvysaurHeadSSBU.png Ivysaur is fought in the first cycle repeat and CharizardHeadSSBU.png Charizard is fought in the second cycle repeat, then the pattern switches back to Squirtle.
  5. ^ This is based on the later Japanese release. If Banjo & Kazooie's placement was based on the initial release of Banjo-Kazooie (June 29, 1998 in North America), or if it was based on Banjo's debut in Diddy Kong Racing (November 21, 1997 in Japan) then they would be placed between Wolf and Young Link.
  6. ^ If four players each play as Olimar, Alph will be the fighter, which results in him being misplaced in release date order (July 13, 2013, corresponding to Pikmin 3, which would put him between Isabelle and Greninja).
  7. ^ This is based on the release date of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade rather than his earlier appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee. If Roy's placement was based on the release of Melee (November 21, 2001), then he would be placed between Olimar and Sora.
  8. ^ If any player uses Bowser Jr., a Koopaling will be the fighter, which results in them being misplaced in release date order (October 23, 1988, corresponding to Super Mario Bros. 3, which would put them between Hero and Daisy).
  9. ^ This is based on the later Japanese release. If Dark Samus' placement was based on the initial release of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (November 15, 2004 in North America), then she would be placed between Zero Suit Samus and Ike.
  10. ^ Using Steve's default costume may result in Alex being the fighter instead, which results in her being misplaced in release date order (added to Minecraft in version 1.8 - The Bountiful Update on September 2, 2014, which would put her between Greninja and Inkling).
  11. ^ This is based on the official release date of version 1.0.0 of Minecraft: Java Edition. If Steve's placement was based on the release of the game's first public release, in its very early "classic" form (May 17, 2009), then he would be placed between Wii Fit Trainer and Bayonetta.

Origin[edit]

The Arena's Rest Area in Kirby Super Star.

All-Star Mode in the Super Smash Bros. games is inspired by The Arena subgame in Kirby Super Star and its remake, and the Boss Endurance in other Kirby games. Like The Arena and Boss Endurance, the selected fighter has to battle and defeat every other fighter in the game, similar to how Kirby has to defeat every boss in his games.

The main difference is that instead of Maxim Tomatoes to refill a health bar, the player collects Heart Containers from The Legend of Zelda series to empty their damage meter. The rest area in All-Star is also very similar in appearance to that in The Arena, and the music played in Melee's version is a remix of the song that plays in the save cottages in The Great Cave Offensive from Kirby Super Star. Additionally, instead of a Warp Star used to teleport to the boss battle, the fighter goes into a vortex to compete in the battle.

Rest Area music[edit]

In Melee[edit]

All-Star mode is heavily based on Kirby Super Star's The Arena. In Melee, the music comes from The Great Cave Offensive's save cottages in Kirby Super Star (which, in turn, is based on the Float Islands music from Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby Super Star). Interestingly enough, in Kirby Super Star Ultra, this music is used in The Arena between boss fights.

In Brawl[edit]

In Brawl, the music is a light, relaxed remix of Brawl's main theme.

In Smash 4[edit]

In Smash 4, the music is a light remix of the main theme.

Trivia[edit]

The menu icon in for Wii U before (top) and after (bottom) unlocking all characters.
  • In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Pokémon Trainer uses a revival platform as an opponent in All-Star Mode, because the player must KO all three of Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon. He is the only character in the entire series to do so.
  • The Mii Fighters are the only playable fighters in any Super Smash Bros. game to be absent from All-Star Mode.
  • Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the only game where the teleporter to the next battle is on a platform instead of the main ground.
  • Due to All-Star Mode being available from the start in for Wii U, it is the only game in which an unlockable character can normally be unlocked by completing All-Star Mode (that being Dark Pit).
    • However, in Melee, if Erase Data is used to erase hidden characters after unlocking All-Star Mode, it is possible to unlock some characters via All-Star Mode.
  • In Super Smash Bros. 4, the menu changes when the "true All-Star Mode" is unlocked.
    • In for Nintendo 3DS, the menu icon initially shows Pac-Man, Sonic, Mario, Mega Man, and Link; the bottom screen image shows a padlock icon, Pac-Man, Mario, Donkey Kong, Luigi, Little Mac, Peach, and Bowser with the description reading, "It's every fighter for themselves! Take on each fighter in set conditions." When "true All-Star Mode" is unlocked, the menu icon gains Mr. Game & Watch, Kirby, and Pikachu; the bottom screen image loses the padlock and gains Mr. Game & Watch, Duck Hunt, and R.O.B. and the description changes to read, "Time to fight everyone! Defeat every fighter in set conditions."
    • In for Wii U, the menu icon is initially the same as in for Nintendo 3DS with the only difference being the padlock being positioned next to Link in the icon. When "true All-Star Mode" is unlocked, the same changes in for Nintendo 3DS occur along with the removal of the padlock.
  • In the English version of the Super Smash Bros. Direct, Masahiro Sakurai was mistranslated as saying that Assist Trophies would "figure into All-Star mode" in some fashion in Super Smash Bros. 4. However, Assist Trophies ended up playing no role in the mode, and they do not even spawn as regular items within battles. In Japanese, Sakurai was instead referring to the "all-star" cast as opposed to the mode itself.
  • The only stages that have never appeared in All-Star for any installment are Planet Zebes, Sector Z, Pictochat, Pac-Maze, Jungle Hijinxs, and Miiverse.
  • Hero from Dragon Quest was the only fighter who is placed in order based on their iteration rather than the character's debut. Prior to Version 8.0.0, his placement was based on the release date of Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (July 28, 2017) rather than the release date of the original Dragon Quest (May 27, 1986). Starting from Version 8.0.0, his placement is now based on the release date of Dragon Quest III (February 10, 1988).
    • Conversely, other fighters with an iteration different from their debut, such as Link, are placed in order based on the character's debut. If Hero were to be placed accordingly, he would appear between Zelda and Samus.
    • Although not by name, All-Star Smash was the only in-game occurrence where the Luminary's debut is counted as Dragon Quest XI rather than Dragon Quest XI S (September 27, 2019) prior to Version 8.0.0.
    • This also makes Hero the only character to have their All-Star placement based on an alternate costume character's debut rather than the default (as Olimar and Bowser Jr. use their debuts for their placements rather than those of Alph and the Koopalings), as well as the only character to change his All-Star placement through an update.
  • Yoshi and Captain Falcon are the only characters with the same release date, but different games, as both Super Mario World and F-Zero released on November 21, 1990 as launch titles for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
