Cruel mode: Difference between revisions

*The ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' incarnation of this mode is famous for its involvement in the [[Sonic (universe)#Sonic & Tails Rumor|Sonic and Tails Rumor]] spread by ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' magazine as an April Fool's Joke. The rumor suggested that after defeating 20 Fighting Wire Frames in a single round, the player would be challenged to defeat [[Sonic]] and Tails of the [[Sonic (universe)|''Sonic'' series]], where victory would result in [[unlockable character|unlocking]] the characters. The rumor also claimed that completing Classic mode with either character would give the player a "surprise". This rumor was proven false both in premise (such as how there's no data of either character in the game's data) and in practice (using strategies such as [[Roy (SSBM)|Roy's]] [[Flare Blade]] or [[Jigglypuff (SSBM)|Jigglypuff's]] [[Rest]]).
