There's a crucially important mode in the new 'Smash Bros' for unlocking characters that's really easy to miss - here's how to find it

The "Games & More" section is where you'll find the "Classic Mode" — a linear progression through 10 fights that stands in for a traditional campaign mode. Each fight is successively more difficult, culminating in a boss fight.

It's also where you'll find the Training mode, which is exactly what it sounds like, and "Mob Smash" — custom fights that pit you against a variety of different-sized groups of enemies.

Most importantly, though, it's where you'll find the "Challenger's Approach" section. See it above? You're forgiven if you don't, even though it's highlighted: It's in the lower right corner, and it only appears in this menu if you've got unlocked characters waiting for a rematch.

The "Challenger's Approach" section starts off just like any other mode: With players choosing their character from the game's massive roster.

It's incredibly nice that "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" allows you to choose whichever character you'd like to use to fight the rematch. Maybe you encountered the Inkling above while playing through the game as Mario in Classic Mode, and maybe you're terrible with Mario? Being able to rematch the Inkling with another character is hugely helpful.

Say you spent several hours with friends unlocking characters and, in that process, you lost a handful of battles with new characters. The next time you visit the "Challenger's Approach" section, all of those characters will be available for rematches in whatever order you first found them.

Sorry: You can't choose which order you want to fight them. They must be fought in the order in which they were originally found.

But, if you do lose to them a second time, all hope is not lost — after a short period of time, they'll re-appear for another bout in the "Challenger's Approach" menu.
