A prediction on all available game modes and the logic behind it.

This prediction will work on the following assumptions:
1. The WiiU Game main menu has, as shown by the 3ds-WiiU connectivity feature, the same number of categories as the 3ds version (Widely accepted). (Main Menu Hypothesis, or MMH)
2. The sound files of the announcer in the 3ds version give a relatively sound (get it?) indication of things the announcer says during various parts of the WiiU version (controversial). (Sound File Hypothesis, or SFH)
3. The Amazon Description of the WiiU version is accurate (Recent, possible controversy). (Amazon Description Hypothesis, or ADH)
4. Announcer sound files only play when you enter the character selection screen (Rarely discussed, supported by testing on the 3ds version). (Corollary of the SFH)

This will not specifically rely on any leaks for information.

Given the MMH, we can assume the main game modes involve the following: standard Smash battles, Games and More (quantity of content is not specifically stated), and a major "Green" game mode a la Smash Run. This implies all remaining modes are categorized into the Green mode and various modes within Games and More.

Given the SFH, we can assume many of the following are special game modes or pertain to special game modes:
1. special order
2. master order
3. crazy order
4. event match
5. boss battle
6. smash world
7. choose a build
8. 8-player smash
9. tourney
10. grab the coins
11. special smash

We already have a good idea of what a lot of these are. Boss battle seems like a boss rush mode for whatever adventure mode equivalent this game has. Special smash, grab the coins, and tourney were all in previous games as special smash options. 8-Player smash has been discussed and is self explanatory.

With the ADH, we can explain almost all of the remaining modes. The ADH, implies we will get the following: Stage builder (most likely choose a build, instead of the usual choose a character), taking commands from master and crazy hand (master and crazy order), and a board game mode. Due to process of elimination, we can guess smash world is the board game.

In this case, due to being the only mode that is that potentially has multiplayer, Smash World seems like a good candidate for the Green game mode. This would leave master/crazy orders, boss battles, custom staes, and event matches as new parts of Games and More.

This just leaves special order. While commonly predicted to be the game mode master/crazy order is a part of, the SFH corollary suggests it is an unlock able, 3rd type of order.

The following is pure conjecture and not based on any of the preestablished assumptions:

I personally believe that the orders will be this game's adventure mode, and there will be 3 different varieties. Either they are long like SSE or they are a version of melee adventure mode with a level of randomization. I say this because I feel this is one of the only ways to fit in boss battles, unless of course they are a part of smash world. regardless, I feel like the orders will be this game's adventure mode.
