'''Training Mode''' ({{ja|トレーニング|Torēningu}}, ''Training''), or simply '''Training''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' onwards, is a mode available in all games of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series where the player can manipulate overall gameplay of a match and experiment with the [[CPU]] without the restrictions of standard [[Versus Mode]]. The mode's features, behaviors, and properties vary throughout the series.

==Overview==
As implied by its name, Training Mode is intended to allow players to practice using characters in a non-serious setting. All matches within the mode are actually [[Time]] matches of infinite length, as seen on the Jumbotrons featured in the [[Pokémon Stadium]] stages. The player can use any character they wish and select one CPU character as their opponent. The CPU's [[Artificial_intelligence|level]] is fixed at 3 in ''Smash 64'' and 1 in ''Melee''; starting in ''Brawl'', the level can be freely selected much like in standard Versus Mode matches. Any stages available to the player can be used in the mode, including ''Smash 4''{{'}}s [[Ω form]] stages and ''Ultimate''{{'}}s [[Battlefield form]] stages, except for the custom stages in ''Ultimate'' for unknown reasons. In ''Ultimate'', Training Mode allows selecting [[Training (stage)|an exclusive stage]] with a grid that displays exact distances between points.

A new modifier in ''Ultimate'' allows drawing of launch distances and trajectories for an attack: a red, green and blue line will display the predicted distance and trajectory for that attack as if it was used against an opponent at 0%, 50%, and 100% damage, respectively. The weight, fall speed, and gravity of the targeted fighter is factored into the predictions as well, allowing for a detailed calculation of how well an attack will perform in any given circumstance.  Interestingly, [[Stale-Move Negation]] is not present in the mode for ''Brawl'' or ''SSB4'', and [[rage]] is not present in ''SSB4''; a new modifier in ''[[SSBU|Ultimate]]'' allows the player to turn these elements on or off. Additionally, pausing in ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'' will freeze the stage and relevant hazards, but not characters or items; in ''Ultimate'', attacks will also not connect while the game is paused, effectively making all characters [[intangible]].

===Overlay===
Within Training mode, a specialized UI overlay, unavailable in any other mode, is displayed on the screen in order to show data relevant to gameplay. The overlay is always present in ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'', disabled by default in ''Brawl'', and enabled by default in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''.

The overlay contains information regarding:
*'''Speed''' {{GameIcon|SSB}}{{GameIcon|SSBM}}{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4-WiiU}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}: Shows the speed at which the game is running. Not visible in ''Ultimate'' if the default 1x is selected.
*'''Enemy''' {{GameIcon|SSB}}{{GameIcon|SSBM}}{{GameIcon|SSBB}}: Shows the behavior set by the player for any CPUs in play.
*'''Item''' {{GameIcon|SSB}}: Shows the item the player is currently holding.
*'''Damage''': Displays amount of damage most recent attack inflicted by the player. Up until ''Ultimate'', decimals could not be visibly seen, leading the damage display to round off to the nearest whole number. Weaker attacks doing 1%< damage may be displayed as dealing "0%" damage.
*'''Combo {{GameIcon|SSB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}/Consecutive Hits {{GameIcon|SSBM}}{{GameIcon|SSBB}}''': Displays how many hits the player has attained on the opponent in one standard [[combo]]; this data is saved, with the longest combo done by each individual character being displayed on the [[character select screen]] for the mode. The counter in the overlay will top out at 999, though the mode can display higher combos on the character select screen. In ''Ultimate'', the use of items will cause the combo counter to turn red and not save as a longest combo (or unlock anything that requires a certain combo).
*'''Total Damage'''{{GameIcon|SSBM}}{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}: Displays how much damage the present combo has done on opponents. Like the Combo counter, it maxes out at 999.

===Available modifiers===
In addition to allowing players to train against an ordinarily idle opponent or to perfect their timing in [[combo]]s or other advanced techniques, the player has the option of manipulating the environment of the stage or gameplay. Initially limited in ''Smash 64'', modifiers within later games were more advanced.

Modifying the match's parameters requires using a specialized menu accessed by pressing the pause button; while this menu stops the CPU from performing actions, it does not actually pause the battle, and so items on the stage and other stage hazards can potentially harm the player while they apply modifiers. As the [[Nintendo 3DS]] has two screens, the bottom touch screen can be used to manipulate the environment without having to pause the game.

*'''Speed''': Allows the player to alter the gameplay speed of the match, though some aspects of gameplay, such as transformation [[Final Smash]]es and stage hazards, are unaffected by this setting.
**'''1x''': Runs at normal speed.
**'''2/3x, 1/2x, 1/4x''': Runs in [[slow motion]]. Decreases the framerate in ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'', uses frame interpolation in later games.
**'''1.5x''' {{GameIcon|SSBM}}{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4-WiiU}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}: Runs at increased speed.
**'''2x''' {{GameIcon|SSBM}}: Runs at even faster speed.
**'''1/2 (Hold L), 1/4 (Hold L)''' {{GameIcon|SSB4}}: Runs at reduced speed while the L button is held, pauses gameplay when L is released.
**'''1 Frame (Press ZL)''' {{GameIcon|SSBU}}: Advances by one frame if ZL is tapped, an item is spawned, or the number of CPUs is adjusted. Runs at normal speed while ZL is held or during a Final Smash. Players using a GameCube controller will instead hold L.
*'''Item''': Allows the player to spawn an item of their choice on the stage. As the pause menu does not stop gameplay, items can interact with the environment while the stage is paused. ''Brawl'' introduced the ability to spawn [[Capsule]]s, [[Crate]]s, and [[Barrel]]s. ''Ultimate'' added the option to spawn specific [[Assist trophy|assist trophies]] or [[Poké Ball]]s, although some can't be selected on certain stages.
*'''CP/CPU''': Modifies the behavior of the computer-controlled players. For a more detailed list of all available behaviors in various games, see [[List of CPU modes]].
**'''Stand/Stop''': Stays idle. Will still attempt to recover if launched off stage.
**'''Walk''': Slowly walks forward. Turns around upon reaching an edge.
**'''Jump''': Repeatedly jumps in place.
**'''Evade/Run''': Avoids the player. Will stop if far enough away.
**'''Attack/CPU''': Behaves according to its set [[Artificial intelligence|level]]. In ''Smash 4'', CPUs will use [[approaching attack]]s and [[projectile]]s more often than usual.
**'''Neutral Special''' {{GameIcon|SSBU}}: Repeatedly performs [[neutral special]]s.
**'''Side Smash''' {{GameIcon|SSBU}}: Repeatedly performs charged [[forward smash]]es.
**'''Human {{GameIcon|SSBM}}/Control''' {{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4-WiiU}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}: Responds to input from the corresponding controller ports.
*'''No. of CPUs''' {{GameIcon|SSBM}}{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}: Allows the player to decide on how many CPUs to include in the match. ''Smash 64'' only allows one CPU opponent, while later games allow up to 3, though they will all be of the same character as the one selected prior to the match. CPUs cannot be harmed by each other's attacks, such as when "Attack" or "Control" is selected for their behavior. In ''Ultimate'', the [[1v1 multiplier]] is deactivated if more than one CPU is present.
*'''CPU Damage''': Changes the [[damage]] all computer-controlled opponents, ranges from 0 to 999. Prior to ''Smash 4'', the value is set upon closing the pause menu (so pausing the game to modify other values will reset damage to the value set). In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', the value is only applied when directly changed or upon selecting "Reset". In ''Smash 4'', this also changes the player's damage.
*'''Camera''': Allows the player to modify how the [[Camera]] looks at the stage.
**'''Normal''': Uses the default camera.
**'''Close-up {{GameIcon|SSB64}}/Zoom {{GameIcon|SSBM}}{{GameIcon|SSBB}}{{GameIcon|SSB4}}/Max Zoom''' {{GameIcon|SSBU}}: Zooms in very close to the player.
**'''Free''' {{GameIcon|SSBM}}: Can be manipulated with P4's controller; focuses on the player by default.
**'''[[Fixed-Camera]]''' {{GameIcon|SSB4}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}: Zooms the camera out, showing the entire stage.
**'''Zoom''' {{GameIcon|SSBU}}: Zooms in close to the player, farther away than Max Zoom.
*'''Reset''' {{GameIcon|SSB}}{{GameIcon|SSBM}}{{GameIcon|SSB4}}{{GameIcon|SSBU}}: Sends all characters back to their original spawn points and resets damage percentages to their original values. Outside of ''Melee'', also removes all items from play, returns the stage to its original form, and restarts the music. In ''Ultimate'', random stage events will occur in the same way as before when resetting the stage, and [[Smash Taunt]]s can be performed again
*'''Exit''': Sends the player back to the character selection screen.
The following options are only available in ''Ultimate'':
*'''[[Move List]]''': Allows the player to read about characters' special moves (including [[Final Smashes]]), as well as information on [[fighter ability|fighter abilities]] and complex special moves.
*'''Fixed Damage''': If enabled, CPU percentage will not increase upon taking damage, and CPUs will not use [[Directional Influence|DI]] or [[Smash directional influence|SDI]].
*'''Trajectory Guide''': Shows the launch trajectory of the most recent attack at 0% (red), 50% (green), and 100% (blue). Does not account for DI.
*'''Invincibility''': When enabled, portions of characters will glow blue when [[intangible]] and green when [[invincible]]. This option also effectively allows the player to see the character's [[hurtbox]].
*'''CPU Shuffling''': Sets the amount that CPU opponents will attempt to DI or SDI when hit to "None", "A Little", or "A Lot". Has no effect if '''Fixed Damage''' is enabled or if the CPU is set to "CPU" or "Control".
*'''Stale Moves''': Manually enable or disable [[stale-move negation]] and [[rage]].
*'''P1 Damage %''': Sets the player's damage percentage.

''Ultimate'' also allows one [[amiibo|Figure Player]] to be used in Training Mode in place of either the player or CPU. However, FPs will not gain any experience, and in the latter case the "No. of CPUs," "CPU Behavior" and "CPU Shuffling" options are disabled.

==Glitches==

===Character Loading Input Delay===
[[File:Inputpriority.PNG|thumb|right|250px|Example of the effects of the Character Loading Input Delay, with all four players using the same input on the same frames. Up tilt was pressed repeatedly until the desync was noticeable.]]
In ''Brawl'', after adding additional CPUs to a match, those CPUs do not function correctly when they are set to Control. It is unclear exactly what causes it, but they do not act on the same frame as another character using the same input, causing both input delays and ignored inputs. Opening and closing the training menu (by pressing the pause button) fixes this until a new CPU is added. This does not occur in any other games.

===Combo Counter inaccuracy===
There appears to be an issue with the combo count in ''Smash 4'' which is demonstrated in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPPu0mUR5Ks a video] by the [[Beefy Smash Doods]], where true combos will not be displayed as combos and vice versa. This is believed to be due to the formula for hitstun being different in training mode than in a regular smash, although it may also involve not being correctly adjusted for hitstun canceling or gravity compensation.

===Phantom menu glitch/softlock===
For unknown reasons, in ''Ultimate'' when the game speed is set to either 2/3 or 1.5x, if the player then attempts to both close the Training menu and open the [[Move List]] at the exact same time, the player will regain control of fighters, as though the menu were closed, however the menu will still visibly appear on screen. The menu cannot be interacted with in any way, and there is no way of taking it out of its glitched state. Furthermore, player labels will become stuck in the position they were when the glitch was activated, even if the fighters move, and will disappear entirely once the affected fighters move beyond the stage's camera bounds.

Since the menu cannot be interacted with, and there is no way to end the glitch, it becomes impossible to end the Training session without closing and restarting the game, effectively softlocking it. This glitch was patched in 12.0.0

===Minor bugs===
*Due to [[frozen]] fighters having altered knockback physics, the trajectory guide will not accurately calculate the launch trajectory and distance of fighters who are hit by [[freezing]] attacks.
*When extremely high amounts of knockback are dealt, the trajectory guide begins to incorrectly predict the angle that the victim will be launched at. This can be clearly seen by using Marth or Lucina's final smash against Mario on the Training stage. The blue line representing 100% damage will predict a noticeably higher launch angle than the green and blue lines (50% and 0% damage respectively), however, Mario will not actually be launched at such a high angle.
*In ''Ultimate'', resetting Training Mode while a fighter's [[jostle]] strength is modified, it will not be corrected until a move which corrects the fighter's jostle strength is used. Currently, {{SSBU|Isabelle}} is the only fighter affected by this, with her fishing rod both triggering and fixing the glitch.
*In ''Ultimate'', resetting Training Mode right after the player is hit by Mario or Dr. Mario's [[Cape]] will result in the temporarily reversed controls carrying over into the reset session. It will wear off as usual.
*In ''Ultimate'', resetting Training Mode and then using certain special moves without making any other inputs first can result in the user moving backwards. These include: 
**Little Mac's [[Rising Uppercut]] will cause him to be boosted backwards, rather than forward, at the start of the attack.
**Peach's [[Peach Bomber]] will cause her to move further backward before jumping forwards. Mechanically very difficult to perform, as if any left or right input is detected before the B button is pressed, the effect will be cancelled.
*In ''Smash 4'', although opening the Training Mode menu otherwise disables all actions for fighters so that the player can toggle the menu options, the game oddly still enables the shifting of the position of shields while the menu is open (which can be accomplished by activating the shield and immediately opening the menu before the shield is dropped). It is not known what causes this glitch.
*In ''Ultimate'', if the training mode menu is opened on the first frame when the training session begins, the combo counter and game speed indicator will remain permanently transparent for the remainder of the session, even if the counter is closed and re-opened.
*In ''Smash 4'', if a character in Training Mode has All-Round Trade-Off [[Equipment]] they will start with 0% damage (with the damage meter even doing the "damaged" animation) instead of 60%. This can be fixed by pushing ''Reset'' in the training menu.
*In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', when playing as {{SSB4|King Dedede}} on [[Dream Land (SSB)|Dream Land]], sometimes another King Dedede will appear in the background of the stage when it is normally not supposed to happen in regular gameplay.
*If [[Palkia]] is summoned in Training Mode in {{for3ds}}, the "Info" displaying the damage, total damage, and combo numbers will be present while the stage is being flipped, meaning that, rather than hiding the information, the game simply moves it off-screen.
**As such, the numbers are upside down if the stage is flipped.
*If one resets the training session in {{forwiiu}} during the "numbers breaking" animation, the Damage meter will become stuck in the shaking animation until the affected player takes damage.
*In ''Ultimate'', a glitch causes the individual Damage counter to display 0.1% less damage for certain moves with decimal damage values, despite the Total Damage counter showing the correct amount of damage applied to the opponent. An example is {{SSBU|Mario}}'s pummel, which deals 1.3% (without the [[1v1 multiplier]]), but erroneously displays 1.2% in the Damage counter. This was fixed as of version 12.0.0
*In ''Ultimate'', when {{SSBU|Kirby}} [[List of Copy Abilities|copies]] {{SSBU|Steve}}, the invincibility and intangibility overlays from the "Invincibility" modifier do not properly apply to him, with the most evident case being when obtaining a [[Super Star]]. [https://twitter.com/ron_yt0510/status/1316293586644692993]
*In ''Ultimate'', resetting Training Mode with the Pokémon Trainer as a CPU opponent while using a Pokémon that did not start the match (e.g. starting a match as Squirtle, but resetting the match as Ivysaur/Charizard) will cause the name of the starting Pokémon to appear on the screen for 1 frame.
**This also works if Player 1 currently has no name selected.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the music for each stage is changed to the Training Mode theme. In ''Super Smash Bros.'', the background of each stage is additionally changed to the [[Super Smash Bros. logo|''Smash Bros.'' emblem]].
*In ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', if the player uses a controller in ports 2-4, their damage meter will be recolored to the respective port color, and in ''Super Smash Bros.'' will also appear in its respective slot on screen. As later games natively support wireless controllers, this was changed to always show the player as Player 1.
*In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', the most recent [[Pokémon]] to be unleashed from a [[Poké Ball]] in Training Mode will either be the second [[Pokémon]] that appears in a standard Versus match, or the first in a Single Player mode.
*In ''[[Brawl]]'', if Player 1 uses trapping [[Final Smash]]es on any spawned players and then despawns them, the player will resume the [[Final Smash]] on nothing.
*Modifying the Speed setting will alter the pitch of some [[Final Smash]]es, such as [[Puff Up]], [[Mega Legends]], [[NES Zapper Posse]], and [[Shulk]]'s grunt during the final hit of [[Chain Attack]]. The sound effects of some attacks striking stage hazards may also be affected (i.e. hitting [[Yellow Devil]] with [[Rest]]). 
** Stage sounds will be higher pitched on a faster Speed but will quiet down at slower speeds.
*In ''Smash 4'', [[Smash Balls]] in Training mode are easier to destroy than in ''Brawl''.
*In ''Smash 4'', the CPU number and behavior cannot be changed if any player possesses a [[Smash Ball]], the former of which stops the situation described above from happening (Final Smashes attacking nothing). Damage also can't be modified during a Final Smash attack. Items also oddly cannot be spawned while any character is in [[hitstun]] or in the [[tumbling]] animation.
*In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', if the speed is set to a (Hold L) setting, the character models will change when the button is held. This is because the game indirectly pauses when the L button is not held, and ''Smash 3DS'' switches the detail of the character models between gameplay and pausing.
*In ''Brawl'', ''Smash Wii U'', and ''Ultimate'', setting CPUs to Control will make use player 2's port color (blue) for their [[shield]], launch indicators, blast KO explosion, Villager and Isabelle's balloons when using [[Balloon Trip (move)|Balloon Trip]], and the reticle in Duck Hunt's smash attacks, although they still have CPU tag along with the grey-colored box on the HUD.
*The only things that override the stage freezing that occurs when bringing up the menu in {{forwiiu}} are the clock present in [[Smashville]] and [[Town and City]] and the character titles "rolling up" animation in [[Boxing Ring]].
*Despite time being slowed down, in {{forwiiu}}, the "numbers breaking" animation for the [[Damage meter]] plays faster if the speed is set on 2/3x.
*In ''Ultimate'', when the game is paused, attacks and damaging stage hazards go through opponents without damaging them. Because of this, pausing is disabled during a Final Smash, most likely so that the game wouldn't crash from having their Final Smashes pass through opponents.
**This can be done, however, if the player uses a non-cutscene trapping Final Smash (such as [[Triforce Slash]] and [[Great Aether]]) on the partner {{SSBU|Ice Climber}}, and having the leader [[self-destruct]] during it.
