Four years later and I'm bringing this up again, now that we have two games that use the "Smash" suffix for it (even if ''Ultimate''{{'}}s version uses "Mob" instead of "Multi-Man" for its prefix). It would coincide with how we've had [[Special Smash]] titled as such for years now on this wiki, which also used to be titled just "Special mode" (as it was last time I brought this up, and was used at the time for justification for keeping ''this'' page where it currently is). It doesn't make sense to me just to keep calling it "mode" when we already have one of four official names that overlaps with every other official name it's had over the years, similar to how ''Smash 4''{{'}}s "Special Smash" title that we use (and "Multi-Man Smash" also being from ''Smash 4'') overlaps with "'''Special''' Melee/Brawl" and ''Ultimate''{{'}}s "Custom '''Smash'''".

I'm aware of [[SW:OFFICIAL]], but ''no one'' calls it "Multi-Man mode" if we're using the common parlance argument. I've however heard "Multi-Man Smash" retroactively used even when discussing ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', due to convenience, and will likely also continue to see use with referring to Mob Smash due to seventeen years of familiarity with the "Multi-Man" prefix.

:Oh, and this would also apply to the child pages such as [[10-Man mode]] and [[Endless mode]]. [[Rival mode]] is especially egregious considering that it's only appeared in one game and therefore has only one name (sure enough, "Rival '''Smash'''"), which means it can't even use the "'mode' is game-neutral" argument. It's only named such to maintain consistency with the other pages, which highlights how nonsensical it is to use the 'mode' suffix in the first place. If anything should be used as the basis for consistency, it ought to be the "Smash" suffix; in part because - as per DracoRexKing on the [[Talk:Special Smash|Special Smash talk page]] (in support of the move from "Special mode" to "Special Smash", which passed) - all games are ''Smash'' and therefore it remains game-neutral anyway.
