As of version 1.1.0, upon entering the ''Online'' submenu, the player is given five options: ''[[With Anyone]]'', ''[[With Friends]]'', ''[[Tourney]]'', ''[[Conquest]]'', ''[[Spectate]]'', and ''[[Share]]''. Upon selecting ''With Anyone'', there are two options to choose from: ''[[For Fun]]'' and ''[[For Glory]]''. ''For Fun'' is an unranked mode that can be used with any ruleset. ''For Glory'' uses a matchmaking system based on [[Global Smash Power]] and is restricted to no items, and Ω Form stages only. ''With Friends'' functions similarly to ''Brawl''. ''Tourney'' is similar to the mode in previous games, except online with occasional tourneys run by Nintendo themselves. This mode went defunct on November 8, 2017 after the discontinuation of [[Miiverse]]. ''Conquest'' aggregated global wins among specific groups of characters (known as teams) in With Anyone during a limited time, and determined the victor based on the number of wins. Players who backed the winning team would win prizes. The mode was discontinued on January 3, 2019. ''Share'' is a server that allowed players to upload content for others to view. Several options in this mode were discontinued on November 8, 2017 after the discontinuation of Miiverse, including uploads to [[YouTube]], sharing snapshots and sharing custom stages. However, sharing replay data and Mii Fighters remained available.
