For the dedicated completionist, achieving 100% in Super Smash Bros. involves unlocking every character, stage, trophy, and completing all game modes. This is a significant undertaking that requires patience and persistence.
- Unlock All Characters: Play a sufficient number of Versus matches, complete Classic Mode with every character, and progress through Adventure Mode. Refer to the 'Unlocking Characters & Stages' section for specific methods.
- Unlock All Stages: Similar to characters, stages are unlocked by playing matches, completing specific game modes, or achieving certain milestones.
- Collect All Trophies: This is often the most time-consuming part. Play Classic Mode on all difficulties, complete all Event Matches, find hidden trophies in Adventure Mode, and utilize the Trophy Lottery/Coin Launcher.
- Complete All Event Matches: Finish every single Event Match, often requiring specific strategies.
- Achieve High Scores in Multi-Man Smash & Target Test: While not always required for a 'hard' 100%, achieving high scores or completing Cruel Smash is often considered part of a full completion.
Keep track of your progress using the in-game records or a checklist. Don't be afraid to grind certain modes if you're missing specific unlockables. The satisfaction of seeing '100%' on your save file is a rewarding experience for any Smash fan.
