Break the Targets, or Target Test, is an iconic mode in older Super Smash Bros. titles. The mode puts players up to a challenge of destroying pre-set targets in a limited amount of time, typically between levels in the story or campaign mode. Now, though, there’s something new on the horizon for this mode, thanks to a team of fans.
Break the Targets can provide a unique experience, but after running the level several times over, players tend to develop a routine for how to destroy the targets effectively, taking some of the fun out of it. A new randomizer mode for Break the Targets is now available, though, which certainly ups the challenge.
Break the Targets Randomizer is coming to Super Smash Bros. Melee, courtesy of three fans going as DJWang88, Mega, and Punkline. The new mod gives players the ability to randomize not only where the targets are located, but also how many there are, which character they’re assigned to break them with, and even where the player spawns. Players who haven’t been interested in Break the Targets after memorizing their locations should be able to get considerable enjoyment out of the mode again with this randomizer.
However, the randomizer isn’t for everyone. Players will need to be playing Super Smash Bros. Melee either on a homebrew Wii or Dolphin Emulator. Unfortunately, those who are playing Melee on a GameCube or traditional Wii won’t be able to make use of the code generated by the randomizer.
In Melee, the targets were not in computer-generated randomized locations. Characters received their own levels that were tailored to each playable character’s strengths and weaknesses, like making use of Jigglypuff’s ability to float, or Samus’ use of projectiles. With that in mind, the randomizer may have some weaknesses, as it’s unlikely to take these considerations in mind. As a result, some randomized levels could become impossible to complete based on the character the player chooses or is assigned to, in theory.
After the Break the Targets mode underwent some changes in Super Smash Bros. 4, it hasn’t seen a return in Smash Bros. Ultimate, likely due to the massive size of the playable fighter roster. Custom tailoring a stage for each fighter – including each Smash Ultimate DLC character as they’re released – may have added time to the development of the game and taken away resources from other modes. Sadly, at least one game mode is region locked in Smash Bros. Ultimate to Japan, keeping players outside of the country from enjoying some of the team’s hard work.
Super Smash Bros. Melee is available to play on the GameCube and Wii.
