Story Mode: The King of Stories

The King of Stories is a 1-2 player mode located in the Single Player from Super Smash Bros Global Apocalypse. The reason why it is renamed Story Mode is that the original Adventure Mode from Melee makes a surprising comeback, with major updates. The story focuses on various Nintendo villains attempting to create doomsday chaos by searching for the six mysterious power stones to transport themselves to other dimensions, spoiling peace, friendship, and happiness. Kuraz, the main villain is in his fortress to order his army to destroy the protagonists. The setting is The World of Trophies. However, it contains more levels based on various franchises in the game (i.e. The Mushroom Carnival is from the Mario series and Yoshi's Island is based on the Yoshi series, which is a sub series of the previously mentioned franchise ). Alongside enemies and bosses, there are also in-game equipment that can be used for both useful and dangerous purposes. For example, the Barrel Cannons return with an appearance from Donkey Kong Country Returns and launch characters to far distances.

The rest of Team B return to the ship and guard it. Minor Team A joins Major Team A to defeat Giygandross and separate them from one another.

Mario thrusts his arms into the mirror and is carried by his NES counterpart and defeats him to unlock the gate. The crystalized area collapses and the two replicas of Mario escape quickly. In the throne area, Mewtwo, Ganondorf, and Wario who is brainwashed earlier along with the minions are seen. The heroes battle to steal the power gems that provide the stairs to be used properly.

Everybody is reunited and run quickly up the stairs. As they reach the peak, Bowser appears with Ridley slowing his descent. Then, Kuraz fades in and transforms his castle into a dark battleground and summons his minions to attack everyone. After they defeat the enemies, Kuraz attempts to make a direct hit to all of the fighters. A sword appears out of nowhere, revealing to be Ike. He uses Quick Draw to dice one of his tentacles and all of the Smashers defeat him for various qualities. Kuraz, who is defeated, restores to his usual protagonist-like form. He apologizes for creating havoc around the World of Trophies and returns all of the Nintendo universes to their original regions. He transforms all of the heroes into stars for infinity. The credits play with images depicting the events that occurred in the story. After the credits, a brief cutscene displays a young boy playing with his toys. He then hears his friends pleading for him to play outside. The camera zooms to the toys depicting the heroes, the ships, Kuraz, and other properties. Revealing to be activated by a child's imagination. He is thus known as the King of Stories.
