Media	Nintendo Optical Disc

Super Smash Bros. Supernova is the successor to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, though it will only be available on the Nintendo Wii U; confirmation has also been provided for the return of switchable characters. It has been stated the game will have a bigger focus on the Wii U Gamepad during gameplay and the viability of having a fifth player. Another primary feature of this game is an all-new story mode, featuring characters both new and old alike in a mysterious world where all fictional characters exist simultaneously. The game is slated for release in 2018.

Custom Special Moves have been revamped, and Custom Smashes have also been added. The roster will contain more than 60 characters.

Game Modes

Classic

Classic Mode is the original single-player feature available as far back as the original Super Smash Bros. Intended for lone players, the game mode provides the player with a number of matches in which they must fight one-on-one matches against various characters on their home stages. In this game, however, the mode can be played with up to four players. Any character currently unlocked may be selected by players in this mode, and a number of lives ranging from 1 to 5 must be selected (this number of lives will apply to all players). The difficulties Beginner, Easy, Novice, Basic, Normal, Hard, Brutal, Intense, and Ultimate are available in this mode.

Much of the mode is occupied by a series of "Regular Matches" which involve a battle against a number of opponents (with 1 life each) equal to the number of players. The characters will all be from the same, or similar, series; the stage they are fought on will be the home stage of a lone character or a general series stage when multiple characters are fought. There are also "Team Matches," which are exclusive to playing alone, that create a 2-v-2 match with an AI-controlled partner for the player; these are changed to "Regular Matches" for multiplayer. A "Giant Match" will also occur towards the end of the mode, with a 4-v-1 style where the four are players and/or AI-controlled characters and the one is a much larger and more powerful version of a playable character. The second-to-last match is either a "Metal Duel" or "Subspace Duel" in which a number of metal characters or subspace clones equal to the number of players are fought on Battlefield.

Scattered between the fighting matches are a series of matches similar to minigames. The first is "Board the Platforms!," in which players must touch down on as many platforms as possible, though some may move or rotate around. The second match is "Break the Targets!," where players are required to smash a number of targets which may also move around. The final game is entitled "Race to the Finish!," which required players to traverse a large, branching map to reach the furthest doorway possible before time runs out.

At the end of it all is a battle on Final Destination, against the infamous Master Hand. If playing on hard or higher, Crazy Hand may also be faced if certain conditions are met. When playing on intense, players will face Master Core. The hands have 100HP on beginner, increasing by 50 with each difficulty, while Master Core has an unknown amount.

All-Star

Face every character in the game, in order of their original appearance, with limited healing items.

Multiplayer

Smash

Play a game with up to eight players locally; players may choose from a number of options to optimize their gaming experience to their liking. Any character and stage already unlocked may be chosen for play.

Boss Smash

In this special game mode, a ninth player can join in with the Wii U Gamepad, and take control off a special boss.

Stages

See more detail here

A select few stages have two variations in this game; such stages have a small and large variant, the latter of which is used in 8-Player Smash, but may be optionally chosen for 4 or fewer players. Final Destination and Battlefield also come with numerous skins, which allow them to take on an appearance similar to those of other stages, but retaining their basic structure; it is also possible to use a design based on past Super Smash Bros. games.
