Ever since Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Gamecube a big part of the series has been the Challenges. These objectives give players a chance to learn about the game, unlock items, and play in a different way than they normally would. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS continues this by offering players over 100 different Challenges to try to complete. Each will unlock an item or stage in the game, and they will get progressively harder as you move up to the higher tier Challenges. We’ve listed out all 105 Challenges in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS along with what beating the Challenge will unlock. The Challenge condition is on the left, the unlock on the right: for example “Beat this Challenge – Unlock this”

Be aware, even if you haven’t unlocked the higher tier the game will track progress on those Challenges. Once you unlock the tier all of the completed Challenges will be completed automatically.
