Modes

Arcade Mode
Play against the AI in a series of 1v1 and 1v2 fights. Three difficulty modes exist: Easy, Medium, and Hard.

Completing Arcade Mode without losing a match in Medium or Hard modes will unlock Pao, in addition to the selected characters Arcade Mode achievement. This is represented in game as a crown. If you lose a match, the crown is broken, informing the player they cannot unlock Pao, or receive an achievement.

Practice
Practice against the AI. Can choose the amount of Stock (1-5), HP (50-300), and CPU level (1-9).

A Practice Options menu is available when the game is paused. Here you can toggle hit boxes, or whether the "Showdown" game speed is being used.

This menu also allows you to choose from several AI behaviors:
 * Do Nothing means the AI will simply stand still, and not make any attempts to defend or save itself.
 * Back on Stage will not defend itself, but will attempt to get back on the stage when knocked off.
 * Defend will actively attempt to avoid attacks, but will not attack the player.
 * Real AI is the same AI used in all the other modes, with no special training limitations.
