This method should speed up your unlock progress significantly while still being a fun and varied experience along the way.įaster unlocking through resetting the game If you back out of World of Light to the main menu, you may trigger a challenger fight on top of unlocking characters through the course of normal play in this mode. The game doesn’t just monitor your play in versus matches, all of your movement and KOs also count as you play World of Light. If you rely solely on this method, it should take you around 11 hours to get everyone.īut there are two other methods you can use if you’re trying to unlock characters as fast as possible. Like with Classic mode, this is a fun additional way of unlocking fighters but probably not the best way of doing it exclusively. This method is faster than playing through World of Light but is much less interesting. It’s speculated that the game monitors how much movement you’ve made and how many KOs you’ve scored in matches and also that there’s a ten minute timer that must elapse before another challenger fight will occur. The exact conditions needed to be met that cause challenger fights to trigger is not yet fully known. When playing online matches, you’ll have to back out to the main menu for these fights to be triggered. If you played alone against CPU fighters, you’ll still trigger the fight even if you lost the match. After a match is concluded, there’s a chance a challenger fight will instantly trigger as a one-on-one between the winner of the previous multiplayer match and one of the unlockable fighters. Playing multiplayer matches, either locally or online, is another way you can trigger battles with unlockable characters. But if you’re looking for a good pace to unlock fighters, World of Light is a more recommended method. If you’re a completionist trying to get everything possible in this game, then Classic mode is a must-play. It offers a less varied experience than playing through World of Light, but it does count toward some of the game’s many other unlockable features. This method is perhaps best used in conjunction with other modes. Win this last fight and the character is yours to play in all other modes, except World of Light. Depending on which fighters you choose, you’ll get a different selection of six CPU encounters that ends in one of ten different boss battles and, if you win, you’ll face off against one of the unlockable characters in a challenger fight. Classic mode can be played solo or locally with one other person. If you’re not in a rush to unlock everyone or a specific fighter (you can easily spend upwards of 20 hours in this mode before you’ve done everything), or if you find unlocking fighters slowly to be more fun, then choose this method.Īnother method that could take even longer than playing through World of Light is to play through Classic mode multiple times with different characters. While this may be the slowest method it is easily the most entertaining way of unlocking everyone. You’ll need to unlock the other seven as well as the remaining 67 fighters in the game. Unlike all other modes, you don’t even have the original eight fighters from the N64 game at your disposal, you only have Kirby. Once you unlock them, you’ve rescued them and can use them for play within World of Light. You unlock fighters here by encountering their piece on the map and winning in a fight against them.
