Blog:Marxo's ideal All-Star mode for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Now obviously, Ultimate doesn't have an All-Star mode in the vein of previous games (being more of a Multi-Man mode here), however, I thought it would be cool if it did. Down below is my concept of what an All-Star mode could've been like for the game.

Details
The mode will go in chronological order just like Brawl and for 3DS. However, it won't be going by series here… it will be going by games. You begin by fighting representatives of classic games and finish with representatives of modern games. As Yoshi and Captain Falcon's debut games share a release date, the order they are fought in will be randomized. Mii Fighters are omitted for obvious reasons.

Fighters will be fought on battlefields representing the games they debuted in, or at least settings resembling set pieces from their debut games. Future rounds may take place on the same stage as a previous battle, but every single round will have a distinction: the music track will be different, primarily to better represent a character's debut game.

Underlining will be used to denote DLC content.
