Adventure Mode

Adventure Mode is a returning mode from SSBM. This mode reappears in SSBGA, with major updates and almost all of the stages have side-scrolling levels, infested with various enemies in that particular universe with characters to battle. A stock and difficulty setting is implemented along with Classic Mode. A new feature is that players can pause the game immediately and save their data on a file, similar to Brawl's Subspace Emissary (though with a maximum amount of 25, with an overwriting feature), since the mode is extended thoroughly. Completing this mode will reward the player their character's On-Screen Appearance trophy, describing the On-Screen Appearance of that character, which is a new feature in the game.
