Path of Spirits

Path of Spirits is a new Challenge Mode in Smash 6 that functions like a miniature World of Light. Players will start the challenge with 3 random Fighters, three random Advanced Primary Spirits, and three random Advanced Support Spirits. Then, the player will face consecutive battles until clearing the final round. Boss difficulty can be set before starting the challenge.

  • Round 1: 1 Fighter Battle, x3 Novice Spirit Battles, x1 Advanced Spirit Battle, 1 Boss Battle
  • Round 2: 1 Fighter Battle, x2 Novice Spirit Battles, x2 Advanced Spirit Battles, 1 Boss Battle
  • Round 3: 1 Fighter Battle, x1 Novice Spirit Battle, x3 Advanced Spirit Battles, 1 Boss Battle
  • Round 4: 1 Fighter Battle, x3 Advanced Spirit Battles, x1 Ace Spirit Battles, 1 Boss Battle
  • Round 5: 1 Fighter Battle, x2 Advanced Spirit Battles, x2 Ace Spirit Battles, 1 Boss Battle
  • Round 6: 1 Fighter Battle, x1 Advanced Spirit Battle, x3 Ace Spirit Battles, 1 Boss Battle
  • Round 7: 1 Fighter Battle, x3 Ace Spirit Battle, x1 Legend Spirit Battles, 1 Boss Battle
  • Round 8: 1 Fighter Battle, x2 Ace Spirit Battle, x2 Legend Spirit Battles, 1 Boss Battle
  • Round 9: 1 Fighter Battle, x1 Ace Spirit Battle, x3 Legend Spirit Battles, 1 Boss Battle

Only Spirits obtained in the current attempt can be used. Primary Spirits will increase 10 levels at the before the start of each round.

Clearing a Fighter Battle adds that Fighter to your party. Similarly, clearing a Spirit Battle adds that Spirit to your Spirit lists. Whenever the player is KO'd, that Fighter is unable to be used again for the rest of the challenge. The player always enters battles with 3 Fighters at a time (similar to Tag Team mode, without Tag-Ins or Assists)

In this mode, the player will always have immunity to these effects, without having to equip a Spirit for them:

  • Lava / Ice / Electric / Poison / Sleep Floor
  • Wind, Fog, Screen-Flip, Reversible Controls

However, the following Spirit Effects are negated when equipped on a player character in this mode:

  • Start Battle as Giant / Metal
  • Critical Heal
  • Super Armor
  • Unflinching Smash Attacks
  • Start Battle with Bob-omb / Black Hole equipped

This mode supports 2 Player cooperative play. A fixed seed can also be played.
