Classic Mode in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

The Super Smash Bros. for Wii U version of Classic Mode is set up as a tournament with elimination style gameplay which lasts seven rounds.

Like in the Classic Mode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, the player begins with two stocks for each battle, regardless of difficulty. The intensity meter is used to set the difficulty, with higher difficulties costing more coins and offering better rewards. Losing and choosing to continue costs some of the accumulated prizes and drops the difficulty by .5. The prize roulette wheel also returns, now including passes for Crazy Orders as a potential prize.

The mode is set on a large playing field where the player character and the opponents appear as trophies: the player can choose which group of opponents to fight by moving their character towards it. After each round the losers are forcibly ejected from the field until only the last few remain. Team battles can occur, in which the player must choose their teammates among the previously defeated characters. During all rounds, opponents may hold trophies, equipment, coins, or Crazy Orders Passes, which are obtained only if the carrier is defeated by the player or, in a team battle, by one of the player's teammates.

The background of the playing field is dependent to the intensity level, whereas the backgrounds becomes more fierce the higher the intensity.

• Intensity 0.0 - 1.9: Water/Ocean Background
• Intensity 2.0 - 3.9: Grass/Plain Background
• Intensity 4.0 - 5.9: Sand/Desert Background
• Intensity 6.0 - 7.9: Lava/Volcanic Background
• Intensity 8.0 - 9.0: Dark/Shadow Background

The first three rounds are fought against regular characters. At the beginning of each playthrough a random opponent is designed as a rival: marked by a blue trophy base, the rival gets stronger and drops greater prizes the longer the player holds off on confronting them. In most cases the rival will remain on the board until the player finally defeats it, but in very rare cases they can lose before the player can face them.

The fourth and fifth rounds are fought against characters equipped with custom special moves, marked by an alternate trophy with a black base and appearing in an alternate costume.

When the player chooses a battle in the first five rounds, one or more opponents might suddenly be replaced by an intruder, marked by a golden trophy base, even in a team battle. Intruders are always in a permanent Giant or Metal state, but are guaranteed to be carrying a prize of some kind for victory.

The sixth round is against a Fighting Mii Team composed of 20 members, which appear surrounding the player on the game board in a group of six.

In the seventh and final round the player faces Master Hand, and at higher intensities Master Hand with Crazy Hand and possibly Master Core. Unlike the Classic Mode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, the player cannot choose to fight Master Hand alone if Crazy Hand and Master Core are available.

Classic Mode is also available for two players. This is the first Classic Mode where opponents aren't necessarily fought on their home stages.
