Capture the Flag

Capture the Flag is a new Team-Battle only game mode in Smash 6. It's Time Battle with the addition of Flags and Capture Zones.

When the game starts, a Flag and corresponding Capture Zone will spawn for each team matching their team color. Players will have to pick up the opposing team's Flag and bring it to their own colored Capture Zone. When reaching the Capture Zone with the Flag, the character will perform a lengthy capture animation to gain a point.

Players cannot pick up their own team Flag, but Flags will disappear and respawn if not picked up for a bit. The ally Flag must be present in the Capture Zone to capture a Flag. Carrying the Flag will alter some of the character's movement attributes.

Points can only be earned by capturing a Flag. KOs and Falls do not influence Score.

This mode supports at most two teams.
