Classic

Classic, more commonly called Classic mode, is a Solo game mode in Super Smash Flash and Super Smash Flash 2 in which the player fights in a series of battles, one after the other, while also participating on bonus rounds and culminating with a fight against Master Hand.

The player can set and raise the difficulty level for Classic before starting: on lower difficulties, opponents are mild and will barely attack the player, additionally, their attacks will be weaker; on high difficulties, opponents will become more resilient and be more aggressive towards the player, conversely, their attacks will be stronger. Master Hand's HP during the final fight also depends on the difficulty selected. There are five difficulty levels in SSF: Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard and Very Hard; these have been reduced to four in SSF2: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Insane.

Clearing Classic with a specific character or under a specific difficulty will reward the player in a certain way if the conditions were met.
