Once you’ve beaten Classic Mode again with either of the aforementioned characters after unlocking Isabelle you will then get a challenge to fight Mr. Game & Watch.  If you win, you will permanently unlock Mr. Game & Watch to use in the game.  Otherwise, this character will move the Challenger’s Approach section of the Games and More section of the menu where you’ll be able to rematch.
