A target-breaking mode has appeared in every game in the Smash series. It’s a mode that challenges you to break ten targets within a given time limit – basically, a game for those who salivate at the thought of speed runs.

Break the targets!

The mode is set outdoors now, giving it a refreshing visual appearance. This time, there are five different maps of varying difficulty – challenges you can take on with your favourite character.

Each of the five maps is distinctive.

Some levels even have items that you may be able to use to cut your time even more.

Use all of your character’s skills to beat your own personal records!

This is the pause screen.

If you fail, you can pause the game and try again. You can also check out the level layout while paused.

There is another announcement I’d like to make simultaneously...

This time, you can view replays. What this means is, the game records what you did in brawls or in Target Smash and lets you review it.

About three minutes worth of replay data can be recorded.

It’s even possible to send replays of your most amazing times to your Wii Friends! If you compete against each other, things will surely heat up.

Fire it off!

It feels great to use all of your knowledge and techniques to shave a hundredth of a second off your time. But you don’t have to do that to enjoy these features, so I hope you’ll give it a try regardless.
