In ''Melee'', like ''SSB'', every character has their own Target Test. Their target tests often require use of character-specific techniques, such as {{SSBM|Ness}} requiring to use his [[PK Thunder]]. Some characters' target tests reference locations in their own series, such as the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}' target test looking much like 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 can be based off of the character's genre, such as characters affiliated with royalty featuring Greek columns and futuristic characters featuring metallic structures.

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 {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}, during the first Bonus Stage, this mode is announced as '''Break the targets!''' (the exclamation mark is omitted in the PAL version), resembling the original ''Super Smash Bros.''{{'}} name.

In Stadium mode, when starting or restarting the stage with a controller in port 1 while holding onto either L or 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]].

*In ''Melee'', an early Target Test stage for {{SSBM|Sheik}} can be accessed though the {{SSBM|debug menu}}. The remnants of the stage, however, consist only of a grey platform and three targets placed to form a triangle. Breaking all three targets ends the match.

*In ''Brawl'', Target Smash level 2 takes place in [[The Wilds]], and in the background, a portion of the level can be seen if the camera is zoomed out using an emulator or mods. Interestingly, in addition to some of the obstacles and non-terrain platforms being removed, the skybox was also changed.

*Masahiro Sakurai stated in a [[YouTube]] video that he created Break the Targets! as an indirect tutorial to play the characters in lieu of a proper tutorial mode.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Icl-jMlz1iY Teaching Players How to Play <nowiki>[Design Specifics]</nowiki>]</ref>
