Race to the Finish (SSB)
- For the Super Smash Bros. Melee version, see Race to the Finish (SSBM)
Race to the Finish (Hurry to the Battlefield in the Japanese version) is the third bonus game in Super Smash Bros.'s 1P Game. It is a simple multilevel stage with multiple hazards, such as moving Bumpers, explosives, and Fighting Polygons.
The top level goes toward the right, with a random character polygon there. At the far right. there is an opening leading downward to the next level. This level slants slightly upward to the left, with a barrel generator hanging from the ceiling, dropping an exploding barrel every five seconds. These barrels roll slowly down the incline and explode on contact, dealing 16%. To the left of the generator is the opening to the next level. Another random polygon is there to stall players. At the far is the opening to the second to last level. In the middle of this level are four floating bumpers. To the left is the opening to the bottom level. A third and final fighting polygon is there as an obstacle. The finish line is the opening on the far right.
This stage is playable through GameShark. However, as the stage is surrounded by walls, players can only be KO'd through an extremely powerful hit at high percentages (such as a smash attack at about 400% damage) which deals enough knockback for players to 'crash' through the walls too quick for the game to recognize the barrier. Only the first player can touch the end of the stage, which results in every player still in the game winning. Theoretically, the Polygons can be KO'd in this manner as well, although it likely requires more time than the limit given. Oddly, when this is done in 1-player mode (with the assistance of the hit-anywhere code along with a few other codes that increase damage done,) the stage is also completable by KOing all 3 characters before the time limit ends.
