The final second of a 3-Minute Smash with Yoshi.
Solo 3-Minute Smash in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS with Yoshi.

3-Minute Melee, 3-Minute Brawl, and 3-Minute Smash are Multi-Man modes in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. 4, respectively. They challenge the player to defeat as many opponents as possible (Fighting Wire Frames in Melee, Fighting Alloy Team in Brawl, and Fighting Mii Team in Smash 4) within 3 minutes without falling from the stage or self-destructing.

The high scores of 3-Minute mode depend on whether or not the match is cleared. If it is cleared, a record is made of the amount of opponents KOd. If it is not cleared, a record is made of the length of time which the character lasted. This mode is followed by 15-Minute mode, which is five times longer than this.
