Time Mode

There's a time limit set to fight. The limit can be set in 1 minute increments from 1 to 99 minutes. If 2 or more players tied once time is up, the tied opponents have to fight in Sudden Death mode. The player with the most KOs wins.

Team Mode

The team that earns the most points or is the last one(s) standing wins. There's 3 colors of teams: Red, Blue, and Green. In Team Stock Mode, if a player has lost all of his or her stocks, another player from their team can give them another live from one of theirs until they all have one life.

EarthBound representation

Official artwork of Ness from Super Smash Bros.

Ness, the protagonist of EarthBound, appears in the game as an unlockable fighter. He can be fought on Dream Land after clearing Classic Mode on normal difficulty with 3 stocks or less without continuing.

Although a lot of Ness's moves are original, he does have some references to his home series. His smash attacks involve the use of his yo-yo and baseball bat, weapons that Ness can equip. All of his special attacks are also based off of PSI moves: his neutral special is PK Fire, where he shoots out a fiery projectile that can trap opponents; his up special is PK Thunder, where he summons a stream of lightning that can me moved around the stage, as well as acting as his recovery when launched into him; and his down special is PSI Magnet, which allows him to absorb and heal from energy-based projectiles. Ness cannot learn any of the PSI moves that he uses in Smash.

Aside from Ness, the only other representation EarthBound has in this game is Ness's victory fanfare, which is based on the the latter half of EarthBound's Eight Melodies.
