'''CPU modes''' are different sets of AI behaviors used by computer players in different games throughout the series. Several are intended for use in [[Training Mode]], while other actions can only be seen performed in various ''[[Melee]]'' [[event match]]es. A few modes are only accessible through the use of ''Melee''{{'}}s {{SSBM|debug menu}}.

*It will still attempt to [[recover]] if hit away from the stage, use a standard [[floor recovery]] after being knocked down (in ''SSB'', the CPU will always wait until the maximum length, then use a [[floor attack]]), use a ledge jump [[edge recovery]] when hanging onto a [[ledge]], and jump off of [[revival platform]]s.

When recovering, they will still make an attempt to avoid attacks, i.e. delaying a double jump or jumping extra early. In some cases, they may even attack while recovering, such as with [[R.O.B.]]'s [[neutral aerial]].
*When put to [[sleep]] in ''SSB'', it will attack nearby foes right after the sleep ends.
