How to avoid unlocking a character
There may be some characters you don’t want. Like if you only want Super Mario characters, you can do that. Here’s how:
For example, you’re doing Fox’s Classic mode to try to get Peach. But first you need to challenge Caption Falcon and Zero Suit Samus. Well, if you fail they will go to “Challenger’s Approach”. Now do Fox’s mode again and Peach is next. Oh no! you failed? no worries there is a fix for that to.
Once getting Caption Falcon and Zero Suit Samus to wait in Challenger’s Approach” you can re-challenge them. But press pause (before moving) and chose “Quit”. Go back in and then it will be Zero Suit Samus! do it again and this time it will be Peach.
Now you can just do that until everyone has challenged you. You can now just have Mario characters and avoid everyone else besides the ones you start with.
THE best character
Like I said in my other post, That’s a matter of opinion. Just what moveset, speed or strength can be different or even you just like Rosalina but not because of her moves but you just like her.
My opinion is Peach/Daisy have the best movesets. But Sonic is the fastest and Bowser or Donkey Kong is the strongest. I like to play as Daisy, Isabelle and Zelda but that’s just my opinion.
Alt colors for characters
Alt colors are different colors of a character. Like for example, by pressing ZL or ZR you can make Daisy have a green, pink, blue, red, purple, black or white dress.
Once you unlock a character you have all the different colors available. You don’t need to unlock them. Just press ZL or ZR while hovering on a character and it will change their color. Each character has eight colors (including their starting color).
I really hope my post helps you if you need to know how to unlock or avoid unlocking a character. If you have any tips please feel free to comment below!
