Unlock all Characters in Super Smash Bros. 3DS - Guide

 

Getting your hands on new characters to play as in Super Smash Bros. is always a highlight of the game, and it’s no wonder that for the last few months Nintendo has been teasing us with promises of new characters, drip feeding us details right up until release.
When a new Smash Bros. game is released there’s always a race to be the first one in your group of friends to unlock all of the characters, so we’ve decided to help you out in getting those bragging rights, so follow our guide to unlock every playable character ASAP!

Thankfully all of the characters in the game can be unlocked by just playing matches. And although some have alternate unlock methods that will enable you to get access to them faster, don’t worry if you’re struggling, as eventually you will get the chance to play as all of them by just going through the game as usual, with the final unlockable character showing up after you play 120 matches.

One other thing to keep in mind is that even if you have met the requirements, you will still need to fight and beat them in battle, so if you play 120 matches online, you will have to go into single player mode to face off against the new character. Don’t worry if you lose that fight though, you won’t need to go through all 120 matches all over again, and will be able to challenge them again straight away!
