Online allows you to connect with players over the Internet. This mode focuses on standard Smash variations, but it also includes some additional options and features:
- With Friends: Connect with friends to battle in Smash and Team Smash. The host is able to set the rules for the first match. At the end of each battle, the fighter who finishes in last place chooses the rules for the next match. With Friends is also the only Online mode that allows for customized fighters!
- With Anyone: Connect with opponents from around the world. You can play For Fun, in which only your wins will be recorded, or play For Glory, in which your wins and losses will be recorded. For Glory matches are confined to Final Destination form (Ω) stages.
- Conquest: Participate in special events where up to three teams battle it out. While a Conquest event is active, you can play With Anyone battles as one of the featured characters to earn points for his or her team. The team that gets the most points during the event wins.
- Spectate: Watch replays or bet gold on other players’ online battles or view replays featuring specific characters to research tactic used by other players. You can also review worldwide stats and see how many people are playing online.
