Complete Super Smash Bros. challenges to earn rewards like spirits and Mii Outfits. Learn how to use the Golden Hammer.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Access Challenges by navigating to Vault → Challenges.
  2. 2
    Challenges are organized into 8 categories called pages, indicating the required mode for completion.
  3. 3
    Each challenge is a 'panel' or 'tile' that unlocks an image upon completion. All panels within a category form a 'page'.
  4. 4
    Challenges named after a fighter do not necessarily mean you must use that fighter, but check the description for specific requirements.
  5. 5
    Some challenges, like the 'Simon' challenge on the Smash page, require specific actions within a particular mode (e.g., using a Final Smash as Simon in Smash mode, not online or Spirit Board).
  6. 6
    Milestones are awarded for completing 50 panels, 100 panels, or an entire page.
  7. 7
    The Golden Hammer can be used to claim rewards for some challenges if you are having difficulty. It is found in the bottom right corner of the Challenges menu.
  8. 8
    To use the Golden Hammer, select it and hold 'A' above the locked panel/tile. This counts towards the next Golden Hammer unlock requirement.
  9. 9
    Not all challenges can be bypassed with the Golden Hammer; excluded panels will show a 'no sign' or lock icon.
  10. 10
    Using a Golden Hammer does not penalize you and grants the same rewards as normal completion, but a small hammer icon will appear on the panel's description. This icon is removed if you later beat the challenge through gameplay. The Golden Hammer itself is not returned.
  11. 11
    Below are details for specific challenges within the 'Smash' page, which requires completion in Smash category modes. There are 28 panels on this page.

Smash Page Challenges:

  1. Panel: Incineroar
    Challenge: As Incineroar, deal 40% or more damage to an opponent with a single attack.
    Tips: Use Incineroar's down special (Revenge) to power up attacks. The more damage received, the greater the attack increase for a 60-second window or until an opponent is hit. A fully charged forward smash attack should exceed 40% damage when powered up.
    Reward: Mecha Suit (Mii Outfit)
  2. Panel: Simon
    Challenge: As Simon, use a Final Smash.
    Tips: To make this easier, go into Rule Settings, turn items to 'high', set only Smash Balls, use 1 stock, and set CPU to Lv. 1. Turning on the FS Meter also helps. This must be done in Smash mode.
    Reward: Yoko Belnades (Spirit)
  3. Panel: Cloud
    Challenge: As Cloud, hit an opponent with his side special, Cross Slash, while the Limit Gauge is charged.
    Tips: Use Cloud's down special to charge the Limit Gauge (indicated by a pink bar flashing white when fully charged). A Lv. 1 CPU is less likely to interfere. If you miss, the gauge charges quickly again.
    Reward: Cloud (Advent Children) (Spirit)
  4. Panel: Little Mac
    Challenge: As Little Mac, hit an opponent with a KO Uppercut in Boxing Ring.
    Tips: A KO Uppercut is Little Mac's Neutral Special when the KO Meter is fully charged (flashes red). Giving and receiving damage charges the meter; being KO'd yourself depletes it. The attack must be performed on the Boxing Ring stage, though not necessarily within the actual ring. For easier charging, try 3 stock with a Lv. 5 CPU. Turning on only Pitfalls (high) in item settings can help trap opponents for an easier hit.
    Reward: Bear Hugger (Spirit)
  5. Panel: Robin
    Challenge: As Robin, use a flurry attack to KO a Lv. 9 CPU in a 2-player battle within 3 minutes, with spirits off, and without handicaps.
    Tips: Mash 'A' quickly during Robin's Neutral combos to perform the flurry attack, which is the third strike and can launch opponents. This uses a green tome (spellbook). If 'A' is pressed too slowly, a fire spell will be used instead. The tome recharges over time or upon being KO'd. If you are not proficient with Robin, try performing this near the edge of a map that allows walking off-screen, like Bridge of Eldin, for easier KOs.
    Reward: Robin (Spirit)
Tips
  • Use the Golden Hammer for challenges you find particularly difficult, but note that not all challenges can be bypassed this way.
  • Pay close attention to the challenge description to understand the specific mode and character requirements.
  • For challenges requiring specific attacks or meters, adjusting Rule Settings (items, stock, CPU level) can significantly simplify completion.
  • Remember that challenges named after fighters do not always mean you must play as that fighter, unless specified in the description.
  • Completing challenges contributes to unlocking Golden Hammers and achieving milestones.
