'''Training Mode''' was a much requested feature as far back as June of 2018, during the pre-release. In [[Patch 1.0.14.0]], AI opponents in Local Matches could have their difficulty set to 0, but the premise of a dedicated training room or mode was still in high demand, as it would offer unlimited fight time and variable control to practice combos and SUPERs. In [[Patch 1.1.0.0]], a proper Training Mode was added, using a prototype stage from the game's early inception.

Introduced in 2.0, Crown Pogo is a mode not dissimilar to King of the Hill type game-modes in other games. In this mode, players have infinite health, and instead are tasked with collecting a crown that spawns on stage and then either parkour squatting or charging their grounded charge to cash in the passively accumulating points on the crown. Being hit will make you drop the crown, so players have to do their best to dodge attacks and be the first to accumulate 50 points.

Infinite Pogo
Infinite Pogo is a game-mode that was introduced in Patch 2.0.0.0. In this mode, 1 player fights against up to 3 CPUs at a time. These CPUs start at very low health, but re-spawn with increased health after being defeated. The goal of this mode is simply to defeat as many CPUs as possible before being losing all health. Completing Infinite Pogo awards the player with coins, with the amount depending on the number of enemies defeated.
Infinite Pogo matches take place on a set number of stages, which all have the same layout and are chosen randomly. Here is a list of the stages that can be chosen:
After playing you're awarded with coins, which can then be spent at the shop.
Leaderboards
After finishing Arcade Mode, a Challenge, or an Infinite Pogo run, you will see the Online Leaderboards. Your ranking is these leaderboards depends on the mode you play. Arcade Mode goes by score, Challenges, by time, and Infinite Pogo, by how many kills can you do.
Online Leaderboards are also accessible in the information section of the lobby.
Local Match
In Local Match, up to 4 players or CPU-controlled fighter can battle. Players can choose characters, set up specific rules such as the number of Lives or the Time, set Stage Hazards or Super on or off, and choose a Stage to fight on. Completing a Local Match awards the player with coins.

Tournament Rules
Prior to Battle of the Leap Lords, a Tournament match type was introduced, allowing more "brutal" stages to be inaccessible during online matches and test players to vote for a preferred fight location. The mechanic was well accepted on its introduction in Patch 1.1.0.0.
Tournament matches allow selective stage choices
Crown Pogo
Introduced in 2.0, Crown Pogo is a mode not dissimilar to King of the Hill type game-modes in other games. In this mode, players have infinite health, and instead are tasked with collecting a crown that spawns on stage and then either parkour squatting or charging their grounded charge to cash in the passively accumulating points on the crown. Being hit will make you drop the crown, so players have to do their best to dodge attacks and be the first to accumulate 50 points.
