Smash Tour

Smash Tour (Japanese:ワールドスマッシュ Wārudosumasshu) is a mode exclusively in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. It is a board game-like mode similar to Mario Party. It was made to compensate the exclusivity of Smash Run on the Nintendo 3DS version, and thus for adding yet more variety for both versions.

Overview[]

The players start selecting the board's size, if the Custom Moves will be used or not, and the number of turns. There are three sizes for boards:

Boards (Smash Tour)
  • Big: A giant-sized board that resembles somewhat of a plane.

Each player starts off with two randomly selected fighters.

All the players move at once, and they control the direction they move in, meaning that competition to get certain pieces is raised much higher. Instead of pieces, there are Miis to move around the stage. As the player walks across the board, they can collect stat boosts, items, and fighters. The checkpoints will also upgrade them, and characters will get a large powerup boost if they visit all five checkpoints.

When at least 2 Miis collide with each other on the same space or when a player lands on a "Smash space" (red, fiery space), all players will be forced to battle with one of the characters they have collected in a random type of battle. (Sometimes, it's not even a battle; It can be a game from Stadium mode.)

If a player does not have any fighters, they can't participate in the match. Players can also choose to opt out of the battle and have a CPU control their character. If Custom Moves are turned on, then the characters will receive a random set of moves, shown by a number which goes from 1 to 3. After winning, the player will receive the rewarding item and the fighter from the opponent who placed second. If a player does not emerge victorious after one minute, the player with the most KOs wins the match. If the winning player is on a space that their opponent is on, the opponent will get launched. However, if the launched opponent lands on a space with an item, they get that item, meaning it can be beneficial.

Players can also use items. They can be used on the board or during a smash battle, but most of the time, items are restricted to be used at specific times. Players choose one item to use before every turn or battle by flicking the control stick in the direction their item is at on the circle, so as to keep it secret from other players. If you chose an item that will affect a specific player, you must then choose the opponent to use it on by the same method. After everyone has chosen their items, their selections will be revealed right before the turn or battle starts.

Sometimes, random events will happen on the board, such as Koffing obscuring the entire board for one turn.

After the last turn, bonus stat boosts are given to players who have achieved certain goals. Then the final battle will start, where every player will fight with the stat boosts and characters they've acquired. The final battle is a 4-minute Stock Battle on Battlefield, but the stock is replaced with all the fighters collected through the game. The character who wins is not the one with the most stock at the end, however, but the one with the most KOs.
