Target Blast

Pikachu competing in Target Blast

Target Blast is a Stadium game that appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. It replaces Break the Targets! from previous Super Smash Bros. games.

The object of the game is to send the bomb to a series of blocks and targets, scoring points as they go. The bomb has a time limit of ten seconds and the clock starts when the player touches the bomb. When time runs out, the bomb will explode and the player scores points based on the number of blocks and targets destroyed. Along the way, the player can score a trophy, a special move, or some equipment. If all of the red targets are destroyed, then the player will award a Perfect Bonus of 30,000 points. Each game of Target Blast has two rounds of play and the combined score from both rounds will determine the player's Global Smash Power. In the Wii U version, the bomb is bigger in the second round and the game has three stages to choose from. Also, up to four players can compete in Target Blast.
