VS Mode
In the options menu (reached from the Vs Menu), you can change a few things. Handicap can be set to On, Off, or Auto. If it is Off then nobody has the option of setting a handicap. If it is On then at the player select screen each player can set a handicap. The higher the handicap, the less damage each attack dealt at them will inflict. If it is Auto then all players handicaps start at five. At the end of each round, the winning player's handicap goes down one, the winning player's teammates stay the same, and the losing player's handicaps go up one.
Team attack can be set to On or Off. If it is On then you can deal damage to your teammates. If it is off then you can't deal damage to your teammates except using and explosive, like a bomb, motion sensor, or one of link's bombs.
Stage Select is a simple one. If it's on, you get to pick the stage. If it's off, after you choose your characters and press start the computer automatically picks your playing field.
Damage sets how much damage your attacks do. 100% is the normal, set it to 50% for longer battles, 150% to do lots of damage in a single move.
(Item Switch is also here. Go to Secrets to find out what it is.)
Press VS Start at the top to begin. Here you can set the battle to Free for all or Team battle by clicking the words at the top left. This can also be done from the first screen, talked about above. Use the arrows on the yellow block to set the time or stock, whichever mode you are on. Set characters to human or computer by clicking the small yellow oval in the top right of each player square.
