Learn the fastest ways to farm Gold in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, including Smash and Classic Mode strategies. Earn up to 500G per minute!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Smash Mode Farming: At the end of a Smash, Squad Strike, Tourney, or Special Smash match, you receive Gold based on button inputs. Manipulate this by repeatedly crouching (tapping down on the Control Stick). Against a CPU, you earn approximately 1.21 Gold per tap, averaging 300-500 Gold per minute. With two human players, you earn approximately 0.905 Gold per input, averaging 400-600 Gold per minute. Ensure a winner is determined before the round timer expires to receive rewards, especially in Sudden Death.
  2. 2
    Two-Player Smash Mode Setup: To control two players simultaneously for increased Gold earnings, use two Joy-Cons. Detach them from the system and hold them vertically or horizontally. Disconnect the initial Dual Joy-Con controller by clicking 'P1' until it says 'None', then 'Disconnect'. Press SL + SR on a single Joy-Con to connect it. On the other player's tile, click 'CPU' until it says 'None'. Press SL + SR on the second Joy-Con to connect it. You can now control both players to crouch simultaneously.
  3. 3
    Recommended Smash Ruleset for Gold Farming: Set the Time Limit to 5:00, FS Meter and Spirits to Off, CPU Lv. to 1, Damage Handicap to Off, Stage Selection to Ω Form Only, and Items to None. Under Advanced settings, set First to 1 Win, Stage Morph to Off, Stage Hazards to Off, Team Attack to Off, Launch Rate to 0.5x, Underdog Boost to Off, Pausing to On, and Score Display to On. Show Damage should be set to Yes. Name this rule set something memorable like "Gold Farming".
  4. 4
    Classic Mode Farming: Classic Mode is another effective way to earn Gold. Aiming for an intensity score of 9.9 naturally amasses Gold. If an attempt goes poorly, do not quit mid-match; instead, lose a stock and quit on the continue screen to receive earned rewards. A Classic Ticket approximately doubles Gold on a completed run but may not be worthwhile if you quit early. For faster Gold farming, start on an intensity of 5.0, win the first round, lose a stock in the second, and then quit for approximately 300G. This method can be repeated continuously.
Tips
  • The item in the Vault Shop may be gone by the time you can afford it, but it should return eventually.
  • If you prefer to farm Gold in Smash mode with a CPU, consider creating a Custom stage that separates you from the CPU to avoid input disruption.
  • The Smash mode method is more passive and faster for Gold farming than the Classic Mode method.
  • The Classic Mode method offers a break from the continuous tapping required in Smash mode and provides additional rewards like SP and Snacks.
  • If you are busy or need a break, you can pause the game during Smash mode farming as it does not impact the Gold earn rate.
  • The Score Display being On in Smash mode is a helpful reminder if someone needs to self-destruct to prevent a Sudden Death.
  • If you want to select your own stage in Smash mode, turning Stage Hazards Off will remove interruptions.
