At first play, the different modes spice up the core game. But after a few matches, they grow tedious, and I just wished I was in standard fights once again. It's a bummer, especially in the game's online multiplayer Party Match, where players have no say in what type of match they're thrown into. The worst of these, by far, are when three players are thrown into a stage as a free-for-all, left to fight each other—no teams—to KO. The result is usually one player getting teamed up against, taken out quickly, and the remaining two dueling it out like a normal fight.
