Break the Targets

**Target Smash!** (**Break the Targets!** in *Super Smash Bros.* and *Tourney* and **Target Test** in *Melee*) is a mini-game appearing in all four installments of the *Super Smash Bros.* series. The goal of the game is to smash 10 targets as quickly as possible.

The game records the lowest time taken to smash all ten targets. If a character has never smashed all the targets, the game will also record how many targets were smashed in that time. There is also a total time that is kept that includes the cumulative time taken to clear every character's stage. The total time only appears after all characters have cleared their stage.

In *Brawl* and *Tourney*, one can also save replays of their attempts. Additionally, items have now been incorporated into the mini-game. Co-op mode is also available.

In *Brawl*, the player can use a code to play on the Target Smash Lvl. 1, as demonstrated here as well as play on the other levels. Target Test stages in Melee can be played on a similar method as well, including an unused stage as shown here.

## Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Super Smash Bros. Tourney

In *Brawl* and *Tourney*, instead of each character having their own Target Test, there are 5 Target Smash levels that are exactly the same for all characters, each with varying difficulty. The easier ones have larger targets while the harder ones have smaller targets. Also, the targets' color varies on the difficulty, matching the difficulty color. Levels 2, 3, 4 and 5 need to be unlocked by playing them in Classic Mode.

#### Level 1

This is a simple course, with very large targets, all near each other. It appears to be set in The Lake.

#### Level 2

This is somewhat more complex. There are various high cliffs that have Targets at the top. There are also items scattered around the stage. It appears to be set in The Wilds.

#### Level 3

This one is unique as it has a launcher, a spring, as well as a conveyor belt. It is set in a partial Box. It too has items. It appears to be set in The Swamp.

#### Level 4

This level is icy, causing players to slip. There is one non-moving target that is very difficult to get, located at the bottom right of the stage, and for some characters, it has to be gotten last. This stage has no items. It appears to be set in The Glacial Peak.

#### Level 5

This is the final target smash level. It has small targets, items, and moving platforms. It appears to be set in The Ruins.

## Trivia

* Some moves that do not do damage or require a grab to affect foes oddly work in *Break the Targets*, including:
	+ Jigglypuff's Sing, which does no damage in matches.
	+ Captain Falcon's Falcon Dive and Ganondorf's Dark Dive, despite neither attack working on Silver Smash Balls or Gold Smash Balls.
	+ Wario's uncharged Wario Waft, though this move is not recommended due to the large amount of ending lag.
* From Melee onwards, the timer in Target Test still runs even if the game is paused.
* In Melee, when playing as the Ice Climbers, only one of them (depending on the color) will appear on the stage.
* Through hacks in *Brawl*, the target smash Lvl.1 stage can be a playable stage during brawls.
* The music used in Melee sounds similar to the starman theme from the Super Mario series.
