Target Smash!: Difference between revisions

Each character in ''SSB'' has their own target test. Mario's and Donkey Kong's stages resemble the construction girders from the original ''{{b|Donkey Kong|game}}'', while Luigi's resembles the layout of the ''Mario Bros.'' arcade game. Yoshi, Pikachu, and Jigglypuff use light-coloured blocks with grass; futuristic characters use grey metal; and everyone else uses bricks. All target tests utilize the unique abilities of their character. For example, {{SSB|Mario}}'s requires him to use his [[Fireball]] to smash at least one target.

In ''Melee'', like ''SSB'', every character has their own Target Test. Target Tests often require use of character-specific techniques, for example, {{SSBM|Ness}} is required to use his [[PK Thunder]] in order to complete the test. Some characters' Target Tests reference locations in their own series, such as the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}' Target Test resembling the levels in [[Ice Climber (game)|their game]], and {{SSBM|Mario}} and {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}}'s target test loosely resembling the setting of ''Donkey Kong''. Some stages even include images, symbols, or other characters from the character's game (such as the [[Triforce]] appearing in Zelda/Sheik's stage and the [[Condor]] at the top of the Ice Climbers' stage). Like with the original ''Smash Bros.'', the level design may include motifs based on the character's archetype - for example, characters affiliated with royalty may feature Greek columns, and futuristic characters may feature metallic structures.

In Stadium mode, when starting or restarting the stage with a controller in port 1 while holding either {{button|GCN|L}} or {{button|GCN|R}}, a song from the character's universe plays instead of the "Targets" theme. These songs also play for their respective characters during the end [[credits]] and after winning [[Tournament Mode (SSBM)|Tournament mode]].
