Game Modes (alpha 22)

Just like every other Super Smash Bros. game, "Super ARC Ultimate Showdown alpha 22" contains plenty of modes that can be played both alone and with friends both locally and online.
Some of the Solo-modes can both be played alone or along with a friend. With all the modes from the original "Super ARC Ultimate Showdown" being carried over into the expansion, but not without tweaks to make the game more balanced and to include all the new characters that are added to the game.

## **Classic Mode**

The Classic Mode in this game is made out of 14 stages (15 if you count the secret stage). Like in the Classic Modes before Smash Wii U & 3DS, the player is able to decide how many stocks the player character should have before starting. With the maximum amount being 5. But the more stocks the player choses to have, the less rewards the player will receive upon beating Classic Mode. Just like Super Smash Bros. 64, the theme of each stage is pre-decided. But the opponents that the player will face in that stage, is not.

Similar to the Classic Mode for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, players can get a "Nice Play-rank" rank if the player performs well during that stage. However, the requirements to get a "Nice Play-rank" will be more clear (such as: "defeat an opponent with an aerial-move", "clear the stage within 45 seconds" and so on). Thus allowing the players to get that rank more often. If the player loses anywhere during a Classic Mode run, then the player can either chose to continue or to quit. To continue, the current score that the player has will be cut to 2/3's of its original amount (similar to Super Smash Bros. 64). Upon continuing, the player will restart the stage where the player lost.

### **Rival List**

This list shows which character will be fought during the "Rival Fight". The rival depends on the character the player picked. Before the "Rival Fight" begins, a cut-scene similar to the one where Giga Bowser appears at the end of Adventure Mode in Melee, plays. Where Terris Continentibus Egisse summons the rival out of a portal.

The rival-list can change when new characters are added to the game as DLC. With some characters having different rivals depending on if the DLC was bought or not.

### **Bosses**

#### **Fighting Team Members**

When the player reaches stage 7 & 11, the player will be transported to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate-version of Battlefield (for stage 7, it is during the day while stage 11 is during the night). There they have to fight a total of 15 "Fighting Team Members". Which are just like the Fighting Teams in the past Super Smash Bros.-games.

This list shows what bosses are fought throughout Classic Mode, depending on what character is picked:

#### **Final Boss**

On stage 13, once the Prelude Boss has been defeated, the character will be transported back to Terris Continentibus Egisse's altar. Surprised by the character's return, he will congratulate the character and then fight it directly.

He has a total of two phases, with the second one having a total of seven "mini-phases" (that are fought in a random order, but North and South America are always fought one after another (which goes first is random) and Antarctica will always be last). However, if the plays on a low intensity (3.0 and lower), then the battle will end after the player has defeated his human form. Each section has it's own voice actor, that speaks in the native tounge of that continent (the two exceptions are Europe which speaks Arabic and Antarctica who sounds like a whale).The amount of health each mini-phase has, depends on how high the difficulty was set by the player.

**Terris Continentibus Egisse**
(**PHASE 1** - Human Form)
(Super ARC Ultimate Showdown)
**Battle Theme****Terris Continentibus Egisse**
(**PHASE 2** - True Form)
(Super ARC Ultimate Showdown)
**Battle Theme (Continent 1 - 3)**
**Battle Theme (Continent 4 - 6)**
**Battle Theme (Final Continent)**
After a section has been destroyed, it will scream loudly as it explodes in a similar manner to a gigantic Smart Bomb. The other continents will show their reaction to the situation and then continue the fight normally. Then after Antarctica has been destroyed, the screen will turn white as the results are showcased on the screen.

#### **Secret Final Boss**

When the player beats a Classic Playthrough on 7.0 and then reach T.C.E. under thirty minutes. An extra cut-scene will play, the the character in play gets surprised as the world didn't return back to normal after the defeat of Terris Continentibus Egisse. Then suddenly Chaccaron Maccaron will suddenly run towards the opponent, knocking it aside. Surprised and confused, the character will stand up and see that Chaccaron Maccaron will challenge the character to a battle.

After Chaccaron Maccaron has been defeated, another cut-scene will play where it gets overflown by magic and transforms into Shinzei Lakshmei's reawakened form. Shinzei Lakshmei will politely greet the character and praise it for getting to this point. But also admits that the journey had come to an unfortunate end.

**Chaccaron Maccaron**
(Super ARC Ultimate Showdown)
**Battle Theme****Shinzei Lakshmei**

(Super ARC Ultimate Showdown)
**Battle Theme**
After Shinzei Lakshmei's defeat, it will smile as it admits that the battle was far from over. Then he will walk through a portal, that he created behind him as the screen turns white and the result-screen appears.

### **Credit Game**

The "Credit Game" that the player will play after defeating the Final Boss/Secret Final Boss, is just like the "Credit Game" in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is a scrolling shooter that changes perspective as the player progresses. The player controls their fighter equipped with a Super Scope to fly around and shoot the names. Players can shoot an explosive item which triggers a Smart Bomb-like explosion to hit nearby names. A score is displayed based on names that were hit and a progress bar with rewards is displayed on the bottom left corner. The progress bar will move towards the rewards as the player shoot the names at five different point thresholds, starting at 100,000 and continuing on until 1,500,000 points.

The background is set in space. The camera changes angles when the player progresses in the credits. Right after, the player has destroyed the "company logos" and gotten more than 1,700,000 points. The screen will switch to the side, zoom further out and make the player fight a Big Core from the Gradius Games. After the Big Core has been destroyed, the fighter's ending image is shown along with the score (including the additional points and rewards for defeating Big Core), but this time, the clear movie scenes don't appear anymore after the final results.

#### **CREDIT GAME MUSIC**

##### **NON-GUEST CHARACTER MUSIC**

Though unlike in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, there are only eight different themes that will play during the "Credit Game". Which theme that will play depends on which character was played during the Classic Mode-run.

##### **GUEST CHARACTER MUSIC**

Guest characters have their own specific theme, that is the same as the character had in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Unless the Guest Character is from another Super Smash Bros. LAWL-game. Then that character will have a theme that suits it just as well.

## **THE ULTIMATE 100-GAUNTLET SHOWDOWN OF ULTIMATE DESTINY!!**

**THE ULTIMATE 100-GAUNTLET SHOWDOWN OF ULTIMATE DESTINY** is a new game mode that will be added to Super ARC Ultimate Showdown during the "Fall 2019-era". This mode is pretty similar to the Trial Mode in "Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System" or the "Flipside Pit of 100 Trials" and the "Flopside Pit of 100 Trials" from "Super Paper Mario". Where the player has to go through 100 rooms of tough opponents.

THE ULTIMATE 100-GAUNTLET SHOWDOWN OF ULTIMATE DESTINY (alpha 22-version)!!

## **BOSS CHALLENGE**

This mode was added along with "Overtime Pack #8" as DLC on the ninth of March 2021 for the original Super ARC Ultimate Shodown. But in "alpha 22", this mode is avalible the moment the player starts the game. However, this time. The player must unlock the fights by beating Classic Mode as that character or by beating that Sub-Boss in a playthrough of Classic Mode. The former applies to playable characters while the latter is for the Sub-Bosses.

In this mode the player will be able to fight against the "Mini-Bosses" some playable characters who have been buffed to act like bosses to get as fast of a time as possible. Though unlike the "Sephiroth Challenge" that this mode was based on, this mode will be permanently avalible after the update has been downloaded.

After selecting a difficulty of Easy, Normal, Hard or Lunatic, the selected boss must be defeated by any other fighter in a one-on-one Stamina Mode match on "Master Hand's Residence" with items and Final Smash Meter turned off.

The player has always have 150 HP, while the opponent either has 100, 150, 200 and 250 HP in Easy, Normal, Hard and Lunatic respectively. Though if the opponent was a sub-boss, then their difficulty will be compared to when it is fought in Classic Mode at the comparable difficulty.

Just like the "Sephiroth Challenge", the player is rewarded upon completing the mode in any difficulty and the challenge can be freely retried. The player will be able to unlock new opponents by clearing this mode. After each victory, a screen showing the difficulty chosen and time elapsed in the match is presented. The player is able to push the Y button to "Share" an automatically taken screenshot of the screen and promptly share it on social media platforms.

### **List of Bosses**

However, beating a character that you have not unlocked yet in this mode will not unlock it as a playable character. The character must still be unlocked by defeating it after clearning Classic Mode with a certian character. But the player will recive fight money upon clearing, with the amount depending on the difficulty and opponnet chosen.

The stage that Chaos and Feral Chaos are fought on is the "Edge of Madness".
