Boss Battles
Boss Battles Mode is a Stadium mode introduced in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. You can unlock it by beating Adventure Mode and Classic mode once each.
Gameplay
The goal of Boss Battles Mode is to defeat each boss with a single stock, or two characters in its co-op mode. It has the same structure as All-Star Mode in that it provides you with three Heart Containers (five in a co-op game) and a screen that reveals the next battle. However, the player is not allowed to continue after losing their stock. Boss Battles Mode is unlocked after the player completes both Classic Mode and 'The Subspace Emissary' for the first time or has faced each boss other than Crazy Hand at least once. The battles occur in random order, except for the battle with Tabuu which always occurs last. You cannot use any stickers in Boss Battles.
The battles in this mode include:

Differences from The Subspace Emissary
Several of the bosses are slightly altered from their appearances in other modes.
- Bosses in the beginning are easier than those towards the end, meaning that the difficulty system is different than in the Subspace Emissary.
- Crazy Hand is a boss.
- Except in higher difficulties, Tabuu's Off Waves do not instantly kill a player who comes in contact with them.
- Petey Piranha's cages are empty, as when he is faced in The Great Maze stage of The Subspace Emissary.
- The individual boss themes are replaced with generic music.
- Stickers cannot be used, as they only appear in The Subspace Emissary.
