Game & Watch, Three R.O.B.s, Mario, Yoshi, and Two Sonics are Taunting in Pokémon Stadium 2 Ω Form in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

8-Player Smash (8人乱闘, 8-Person Fray) is a gameplay mode introduced in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. This allows to play with 8 players or CPUs at once on certain stages. This mode allows eight players to play on the same stage at one time. In addition to red, blue, yellow, and green indicators for players 1-4, players 5-8 receive new indicators colored orange, cyan, purple, and slate respectively.
Only the Time and Stock rule settings can be used in this mode and Hazards are turned off when playing more than 4 players. In Team Battles, you can fight with up to four teams, with the team colors being red, blue, green, and yellow. Some stages will not be available, depending on the number of characters in the match. The other modes are 5-Player, 6-Player and 7-Player Smash.

8-Player Smash returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as part of Smash mode. This is possible by adding more than 4 participants in a battle when selecting fighters. It's also possible to battle with 8 players in Smashdown and Super Sudden Death, however still not in Custom Smash. All stages are available this time regardless of number of players.

Stages available in 8-Player Smash[]

Only certain stages and their Ω Forms can be played on. Sizes of stages may change to accommodate for the larger amount of players. Several of the stages' hazards or background elements are also removed. Certain stages allow for 5 or 6 players, but not 7 or 8. Ω Form stages will be scaled up depending on how many players are present.
