Super Smash Bros for 3DS tips - How to finish every challenge
And what you get for completing them
With so many modes, characters, and rules, it can be hard to know what to do in Super Smash Bros. But that's where the challenges come in.
This wall of achievements gives you tasks to do, and then showers you with rewards for finishing them.
But you can only see the challenges you've done and those nearby. With that in mind, this guide will tell you what to do for each challenge and what you'll get for completing it.
Look out for the ones that ask you to play with a certain character or stage -those have to be done in Smash mode to count.
If you have a particularly good strategy for a goal, share it in the comments!
