'''Classic Mode''' ({{ja|シンプル|Shinpuru}}, ''Simple''), known as the '''1P Game''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', is a single-player campaign mode that has appeared in every installment of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]''. The many incarnations of this mode vary in terms of number of stages, order, and options available but generally feature a series of VS Mode matches leading up to a boss fight at a pre-selected difficulty. In the original, the player fought in a predetermined order: the player would always fight a specific character at a certain stage in a fixed order under static conditions.  In ''Melee'', randomization elements were introduced — the battles and the order in which they take place are, for the most part, completely random (other than the basic layout, which is elaborated upon in the below section). Additionally, the [[Board the Platforms]] bonus game was removed for ''Melee'', replaced by [[Snag the Trophies]]. In ''Brawl'', Snag the Trophies and {{SSBM|Race to the Finish}} were both removed to make room for the second [[Target Smash!]] round. Additionally, the matches are no longer as randomised as they were in Melee; each stage has a theme and is based on at least one universe (for instance, Stage 1 is based on ''The Legend of Zelda''), where characters and sometimes stages are chosen by random, provided they match the theme.

If the player loses all their [[stock]], they are brought to the [[Continue]] screen with the respective option. Some {{b|coins|collectable}} - the number of which varies depending on the difficulty level — and half the points are lost if "Yes" is chosen, but a "GAME OVER" is shown if "No" is chosen or if the player does not have the required amount of coins. If the player is defeated in Classic Mode in {{forwiiu}}, some of the prizes are deducted.

In {{for3ds}}, instead of a singular path, the paths branch out, giving the player a choice as to who to fight next. The bonus game Target Smash was removed ''for 3DS'' and ''for Wii U''. These paths are color coded: red is hardest and yields the most coins, green is medium, and blue is the easiest, yielding the least coins. In {{forwiiu}}, players do not have the choice of paths; rather, they advance based on skill levels.

Classic mode returns for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. This time, each character has their own roster of opponents and stages. A unique name is given on the match screen, and the character’s path is often themed around them, such as Ryu fighting against [[Zero Suit Samus]] with Chun-Li's theme. There is also a [[Bonus Stage|bonus stage]], as well as additional bosses.

===Regular battle===
===Regular battle===
In a regular battle, the player engages in a one on one battle with another character. These type of battles are the most common type of battle in ''Super Smash Bros.'', ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', ''Smash for 3DS'' and ''Ultimate''. The opponent is usually chosen at random and is battled on their [[home stage]], except in ''Smash for Wii U'' where the stage is chosen at random. In ''Ultimate'' there is no random battle selections due to the fact that all classic modes are predetermined. {{SSBU|Ryu}}, {{SSBU|Hero}} and {{SSBU|Terry}} are the only characters to have [[Stamina mode|stamina]] battles in their routes.

In ''Brawl'', universes with at least two character slots (therefore {{SSBB|Samus}} and {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}} do not qualify as two transformation characters cannot exist on stage at the same time) can be fought in a team battle along a randomly selected ally from the stage's featured universes. Two team battles are always encountered in a single playthrough.

In the Wii U version of ''SSB4'', a team battle may be fought (if the amount of opponents are right for one) alongside a player selected ally (among defeated characters). Some stages may feature multiple teams or more than two characters per team (if the stage allows more than 4 players where they will be in its [[8-Player Smash]] varation).

===Multi-man battle===
===Multi-man battle===
In a multi-man or horde battle (refers to "Team (character)"), the player fights multiple copies of another character. The opponent team will usually attack in groups of three, but they have lower handicap than usual, making them easier to get KO'd by the player and more difficult for them to KO the player.

In ''Melee'', ''Brawl'' and ''Smash for 3DS'', the player fights 10 copies of a character. CPU's will not use the same color what the player chose if the player faces off 10 copies of the character picked. In ''Brawl'', 25 playable characters may be fought as multi-man opponents. Exceptions In ''Brawl'' are ''The Legend of Zelda'' characters  on stage 1, [[Yoshi]] and the ''Donkey Kong'' characters on stage 2 and the ''[[Pokémon (universe)|Pokémon]]'' characters on stage 3.

In both versions of ''SSB4'', the player fights a number of Miis (10 in ''Smash for 3DS'' and 20 in ''Smash for Wii U''). All Miis' faces are generated from the player's console, along with Guest Miis if none exist. In ''Smash for 3DS'', the player can also fight against multiple copies of a character by choosing one path on stage 5.

In a metal battle, the player faces an opposing computer player under the effects of a [[Metal Box]] for the entire battle. A metal character can sustain more damage without being launched and are less likely to flinch, along with having more powerful attacks. However, their falling speed is increased and running speed reduced.

In ''Super Smash Bros.'', the player fights [[Metal Mario]] in Stage 9 and always on the [[Meta Crystal]] stage.


In ''Melee'', a metal battle is always fought on the {{SSBM|Battlefield}} stage and still without any items appearing at all unlike [[Adventure Mode]]. Every opponent eligible for a one-on-one is eligible for a metal fight (it can be anyone except Roy, Ganondorf, and Mr. Game & Watch).
In ''Melee'', a metal battle is always fought on the {{SSBM|Battlefield}} stage. All characters except for Roy, Ganondorf, and Mr. Game & Watch are eligible for a metal fight. Items are turned off.


In ''Brawl'', however, the metal battles are chosen at random by series starting from Stage 6 and items are present for the first time since ''Melee's [[Adventure Mode]]''.

In ''Smash for 3DS'', any character is eligible as a metal opponent by choosing any path on stages 3 and 4 and lastly, in ''Smash for Wii U'', any character that's not a {{SSB4|Mii}} can be fought as a metal opponent, provided they appear as an intruder.
In ''Smash for 3DS'', any character can be a metal opponent by choosing any path on stages 3 and 4. In ''Smash for Wii U'', any character that's not a {{SSB4|Mii}} can be fought as a metal opponent, provided they appear as an intruder.


A metal battle in ''Ultimate'' is very rare, but metal characters such as {{SSBU|Mario}}, {{SSBU|Bowser}} and {{SSBU|Sonic}} will encounter such battles.

In the 3DS version of ''Smash 4'', this battle returns as a random battle in three to four stages of the mode. In this game's battle, the player must battle three random characters on the first CPU's home stage designated by series. The Wii U version heavily focuses on this type of battle, when the player must battle more random characters than three. The Al is the same as the previous installment.

Line 96: Line 95:
In ''Smash for Wii U'', Master Hand will always appear as the final battle. Crazy Hand appears from the mid-low difficulties and upwards (appearing at the stat of the battle strait away like in Brawl). Higher difficulties turn it into a battle against Master Core. Starting at 8.0, Master Core gains an additional phase in [[Master Fortress]], a maze filled with powerful minions and hazardous surfaces where the player has to destroy its weak points to win.

In ''Ultimate'', the boss fought depends on the player character and is not always Master Hand and Crazy Hand. For example, {{SSBU|Mario}} and {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}} face [[Giga Bowser]] and {{SSBU|Kirby}}, {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}} and the {{SSBU|Inkling}}s fight [[Marx]].  Sometimes the boss is fought before the final stage. For example, {{SSBU|Mega Man}} fights [[Galleom]] in the round before fighting {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}} and {{SSBU|Mewtwo}} (as a nod to Wily's [https://megaman.fandom.com/wiki/Alien alien] form from ''Mega Man 2''). Some fighters don't face any bosses at all, such as {{SSBU|Jigglypuff}}, who fights [[Giant Donkey Kong]] and {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}, who fights Giant {{SSBU|Palutena}}.
