Stamina Mode

From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki

(Redirected from Stamina)
For the stat held by the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon, see Stamina (stat).

Stamina is a Special Melee option in SSBM, and a Special Brawl option (under the name of Stamina) in SSBB. In both games, it gives all characters a "life bar" of sorts, which must be depleted to defeat characters (rather then KOing them). Once a character reaches 0HP or are KO'd, they are out of the game.

In Melee, choosing Stamina Mode fixes the stamina at 150HP for two, three, or four players; in Brawl, players can select their HP individually via the Handicap option, ranging from 1 to 300.

[edit] Super Projectile Match

Super Projectile Match is an official type of gameplay, originating from Super Smash Bros. Melee and returning in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

[edit] How to perform

This gameplay mode is available for 2-4 players. Choose a Stamina mode battle under Special Melee in VS Mode, and then choose characters that use projectiles. Prohibit all direct attacks, and fight using only projectiles, then fight on a stage that has leveled ground and many places to hide (e.g Hyrule: Temple, etc.)

[edit] Notes

This gameplay mode is found on page 49 of the Super Smash Bros. Melee instruction booklet.

[edit] Trivia

  • When one brings an opponent to 0HP, the game will slow down temporarily and the opponent will use the Star KO scream.
  • A defeated character makes no sounds and can be knocked around. Since they remain on the stage when defeated, they can block projectiles.
  • Drone characters (such as the secondary Ice Climber and Pikmin) will blindly stand beside their defeated leader.
  • Certain Final Smashes cause an Undead Glitch when reduced to 0HP.
  • Because there is no results screen, the Master Hand glitch does not freeze the game when a match ends.
  • In SSBM, the player cannot edit the starting stamina; the instruction booklet, however, shows a screenshot of Stamina Mode with Hit Points higher than 150.
