Home Stage

A **Home Stage** is a stage associated with a character. Every character has an associated stage, and no characters share Home Stages. (With the exception of Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard, who, despite being split into three fighters between Ultimate and Nexus, still share one Home Stage)

## Overview

A majority of characters have home stages from the same franchise as the fighter, although some, such as R.O.B., do not have a stage from their franchise and instead take a stage from another series.
Story Mode: Nexus of Shadowed Crystals

**Nexus of Shadowed Crystals** (abbreviated as NoSC) is the Story Mode in Super Smash Bros. Nexus. In the Story Mode, the fighters are put into three different factions, Heroes, Villains, and Nexus Travelers.

## Gameplay

The gameplay of **Nexus of Shadowed Crystals** is a mixture of the side-scrolling beat 'em up Subspace Emissary, and the mission-based World of Light. It has a large, expansive world map, that starts out limiting, but over time increases in size. The story features three main factions.

There are three kinds of stages in NoSC, Mission Battles, Story Missions, and Boss Smash Missions.

* Mission Battles are normal battles with special conditions. While most are optional, completing them gives rewards such as power boosts. Required Mission Battles tend to be against fighters of the opposing faction.
* Story Missions are side-scrolling platforming levels, similar to Subspace Emissary. These levels are required for progression.
* Boss Smash Missions have you facing off against bosses. These bosses have health bars rather than damage percent.

The mode also has the option for two-player co-op play. Similarly to Subspace Emissary, the camera will follow Player 1 in Story Missions, and Player 2 will teleport if they stray too far away.

### **Difficulty Levels**

Like SSE and WoL before it, NoSC has difficulty levels.

Higher difficulty levels increase:

* Enemy AI
* Enemy Health
* Enemy Strength
* Boss Health
* Boss Strength

Higher difficulty levels decrease:

* Knockback dealt by Players
* Extra Stocks

The difficulty levels are:

* Easy
* Normal
* Hard
* Very Hard
* EX

## Plot

These fights are battles against normal fighters. Most are classified as Mission Battles, but are required to progress, while some take place during a level.
Paper Mario (SSBN)

The Paper-Folded Hero

Paper Mario is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Nexus. As fighter #89, he was the seventh newcomer announced.

## Attributes

Paper Mario is a small, lightweight fighter, among the lightest in the game. Paper Mario is quite fast and very floaty, along with having a jump comparable to that of Falco. Both Paper Mario's air speed and acceleration can be compared to that of Jigglypuff, and his traction is comparable to that of Mr. Game and Watch.

Being quite light, Paper Mario is KO'd extremely early, although landing attacks on him can be tough. With the lowest crouch in the game and high mobility, Paper Mario excels in dodging and countering enemy attacks, creating a bait and punish playstyle. With his hammer attacks, Paper Mario also has a decent mid-ranged game, outranging most up-close brawlers. However, with all of Paper Mario's strengths come a glaring weakness, being that Paper Mario's disadvantage state is poor, as he struggles to escape juggles due to his predictability when landing, and he's also fairly easy to edgeguard.

Paper Mario has two gimmicks, in the form of copies and footstool attacks. By using Down Special, Paper Mario will create copies of himself. By footstooling a foe, they'll take small damage.

## Moveset

On Screen Appearance: Paper Mario uses the Dimensional Flip ability.

Taunts:

* Paper Mario does a thumbs up motion.
* Paper Mario wiggles his index finger.
* Kersti, Huey, or Olivia fly around Mario. Which partner it is is picked at random.

Idle Animations:

* Paper Mario adjusts his cap.
* Paper Mario dusts himself off.

Victory Animations:

* Paper Mario throws confetti around the area and poses.
* Paper Mario wiggles his finger at the camera before walking off screen.
* Paper Mario is thrown into the air by a random selection of partners.

Victory Theme: You Got a Crystal Star!

## Stage Description

Jungle Hijinxs has a partially sloped main platform with a soft platform to the right and left of it and multiple Barrel Cannons. This stage is unique in that it has another stage behind the foreground. The background stage consists of three main platforms of different heights with four soft platforms above the rightmost main platform and like the foreground, multiple Barrel Cannons. Players can switch between the foreground and background using the cannons. Attacks cause more knockback in the background. Players will smolder for a few seconds after being launched from the Barrel Cannons. Attempting to use a Barrel Cannon while smoldering will cause the cannon to explode. Occasionally, Screaming Pillars from the Donkey Kong series will block the cannon's launch path as someone enters the cannon knocking them back to the foreground or background depending on where they entered the cannon. Sometimes the foreground's main platform or all of the background will sink down past the bottom blast line revealing a few Barrel Cannons previously hid by the platform that sank. The platform rises back up after awhile, blocking the hidden cannons again.

Mushroom Kingdom's Most Wanted

Waluigi is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Nexus. As fighter #83, he is the first newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Nexus, and was revealed alongside Toad.

Waluigi is a tall, mid-weight fighter with a walking and running speed similar to Samus', the second highest jump height in the game, being slightly lower than Falco's, and air speed and acceleration on par with Wario's. Finally, he has the ability to wall-jump.

Due to his long limbs, Waluigi's main focus is spacing out his attacks. Despite not having sweetspots on most of his attacks, Waluigi's playstyle involves manoeuvring in a way that allows the very tip of his hitboxes to hit the foe. Waluigi also has a few disjointed attacks, namely his Forward Smash and Forward Aerial, adding to his already impressive melee range.

Waluigi is also able to zone, although this isn't his main focus. Using Tennis Shot, he can launch a weak tennis ball to keep aggressive opponents at bay. Combined with Item Box allowing Waluigi to create traps for his foes, Waluigi has a scary constant presence on the stage.

## Moveset

On Screen Appearance: Waluigi rides onto the stage on the Standard Kart, destroying an Assist Trophy on the way.

Taunts:

List of SSBN Music (Cuphead Series)

This is a list of the new music tracks added in Super Smash Bros. Nexus pertaining to the Cuphead universe.

## Trivia

* The Cuphead series is one of two series to have songs moved from the "Other" category of music after a DLC release. The song in choice is "Floral Fury (Original)"
* "Funfair Fever" has similarities to "Athletic Theme - Super Mario World." This is because both songs were inspired by Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag."
All Bets Are Off

**All Bets Are Off** is a DLC stage in Super Smash Bros Nexus. It is the home stage of Cuphead.

## Stage Description

All Bets Are Off is a medium-sized stage with no edges and two floating cards which act as platforms. After a while, King Dice will summon a floating pink die in which the player will strike. If struck, King Dice will lunge toward the camera, transitioning to one of five stages.

* Floral Fury
* Sugarland Shimmy
* Funfair Fever
* Shootin' N' Lootin
* Fiery Frolic

After a while, the stage will transition back to King Dice. The player can also choose to transition early by defeating the mini-bosses of their respective levels. If at the final stock, low health, or if time is running out, King Dice will attempt to attack the fighters by sending rows of anthromorphic cards from either side of them. If the final blow is dealt to the opponent, King Dice will be knocked out as well, with his hands begging in defeat.
Poké Floats

**Poké Floats** is a returning stage in Super Smash Bros Nexus. It is the home stage of Jigglypuff.

## Stage Description

Poké Floats is a stage similar to Rainbow Cruise, since both are naturally fixed-camera and scroll. Unlike in Rainbow Cruise, however, the background remains static. The fighting is on top of giant floating Pokemon statues (or models) which are in a constant cycle. Staying on a certain float too long will cause the player to lose a stock because the Pokemon statue goes behind the blast lines. A caution is that the floats tend to become harder to predict as the loop goes on, until it resets back to the first one.

### List of Floats in Order of Appearance

* Popplio
* Onix
* Psyduck
* Chikorita
* Weezing
* Slowpoke
* Porygon
* Wooper
* Sudowoodo
* Snorlax
* Venusaur
* Seel
* Wobbuffet
* A large quantity of Unown, interspersed with the other floats until the level loops again
* Goldeen
* Lickitung
* Chansey
* Geodude

After Geodude, the last few Unown clear the screen just before restarting back to Popplio (the first Pokemon statue) and the process starts all over again.

## Trivia

* Due to Squirtle being a playable character, the statue of it is replaced by a statue of Popplio.
Red (SSBN)

**Red** is a playable DLC character in Super Smash Bros Nexus.

Red's voice clips are taken directly from the Angry Birds games.

## Classic Mode: Take Back the Eggs!

Red's Classic Mode Route has him battle multiple fighters who are green in color.

## Trivia

* Interestingly, Red's Final Smash remains unchanged while playing on the Pig Fortress stage.
Ivysaur (SSBN)

Nature's Vine-Lashing Soldier

**Ivysaur** is a playable veteran fighter in Super Smash Bros Nexus. As in Ultimate, it is classified as fighter #34, and is now a separate fighter from Pokémon Trainer.

It is voiced by Justin Anselmi.

## Trivia

* Ivysaur cannot normally use its Final Smash, Frenzy Plant, in the Pokémon series. The only way for Ivysaur to obtain Frenzy Plant without hacking is to obtain one of two event Bulbasaur, the Japan exclusive Sticker Promotional Egg Bulbasaur, and the Korea exclusive Kanto Starter Egg Bulbasaur. As both of these events happened during Generation V, they are no longer obtainable through legitimate means.
Midna (SSBN)

Princess of Hyrule's Darker Side

Midna is a playable DLC character in Super Smash Bros Nexus. As fighter #100, she was the 18th fighter announced.

She is voiced by Akiko Koumoto.

## Attributes

Midna is a short, light fighter. She has an average walking speed, an above average dashing speed, and average traction. She has a fairly high first jump, and an extremely high second jump. She has average air acceleration, average air speed, average fall speed, and low gravity.

Midna acts as a puppet fighter of sorts, using Wolf Link to strengthen her basic attacks, or to lock down certain areas of stage. However, Midna has little control of Wolf Link's position, as Wolf Link only has two states - Following and Free Roaming. This makes stage control difficult, as Wolf Link will often be in the wrong place at the wrong time. As a result, it is often a better strategy to keep Wolf Link nearby, as without Wolf Link, Midna struggles to KO, as a result of her more powerful moves being slow to come out.

Overall, Midna is a fighter with a high skill floor, and an even higher skill ceiling, but once learned, can create deadly setups.

## Moveset

### On-Screen Appearance

Midna teleports on-stage, giggling to herself.

### Taunts

Boss Rush Mode

**Boss Rush Mode** is an unlockable mode in the Stadium menu. In Boss Rush Mode, the player fights several of the game's bosses in a row. Boss Rush Mode is unlocked after defeating Crystolace, at the end of Story Mode: Nexus of Shadowed Crystals.

## Gameplay:

The goal of Boss Rush Mode is to defeat a selection of bosses with the given amount of stocks, with each difficulty option pitting you against more and more bosses.

The format is similar to that of All Star Mode, however, there are no continues, so if all stocks are lost, you must retry from the beginning.

## Difficulty Levels

There are eight difficulties when you first unlock Boss Rush Mode, and a ninth, secret difficulty unlocked upon defeating every Crystal boss in NoSC.

## Battles

As mentioned earlier, different difficulty levels will feature a different amount and selection of bosses. The bosses are fought in a random order each time.

## Rewards

There are a variety of rewards that can be obtained through completion of Boss Rush Mode. These include:

* A random selection of trophies.
* Coins
* Mii Outfits
* Custom Steve Parts

In addition, completing Boss Rush Mode on Soul Melter EX difficulty unlocks a Crystal skin for that character.

## Changes from other modes

Several changes are made, altering bosses appearances slightly.

* All bosses have their health set to the amount they would have while playing on Easy Mode in Story or Classic Mode, regardless of the difficulty.
* Bosses skip their intro animations, and transform much faster.
* Bosses attack patterns tend to be slower, with the exception of the final four bosses on Sizzling Threat difficulty and above.
* All attacks with the ability to KO without knockback lose that ability, with the exception of Crystolace's Crystal Wave. In addition, attacks capable of OHKOing with knockback are severely weakened.

## Trivia

* Boss Rush Mode is heavily based on The Ultimate Choice from Kirby Star Allies, even down to using the same names for the difficulty levels.
