To clarify, the combat score bonuses (and penalties) found in Smash64 and Melee. I'd love it if these would return, along with the score-based mode Melee had. They provided interesting things to go for in single player, and could really mix up a match in multiplayer amongst players of varying skill levels.

Although I barely knew what half of them actually did, I always thought that they had funny names.

So yes.

For the 12 years my original Melee save file lived I never once played the score mode, I didn't even know it was a thing before I saw someone mention it earlier this year. I never really cared about them personally, they don't really serve a purpose, but at the same time I can't really say I'm against it since it doesn't really provoke me or anything, I just don't care about it.

I don't care much for Bonus Mode matches, but the bonuses themselves I'd like to see return; trying to rack up high scores on Adventure or All-Star by doing ridiculous things like holding Mr. Saturn for 30 seconds was awesome.

That's definitely one thing I missed. Reading the results and listings earned throughout the match.

I never liked that Brawl got rid of the end-of-match bonuses. They were fun to see. That being said, I think I played a grand total of two bonus matches in 10 years of Melee. They could bring it back and I probably wouldn't even notice.

Nostalgia is a big factor, plus it made Adventure Mode and Classic Mode more fun to play. It was also cool to see what you got at the end of each match, and the nice little list that Melee had listing all the bonuses you got. Adding them back now could give another way to unlock trophies, too

You can't triple jump if a character can, apparently. Other than that, you just can't attack or take any damage.
I think it was a 12000 or 15000 bonus. It would be neat to see stuff like that get back in. I used to get No R 4 U all the time, which would never happen now haaha

I'm sure they'll come back for solo modes to contribute to high scores and GSP. I never cared for them in multiplayer though. Getting the last handful of them in Melee was the kind of gaming grindfest that I try to avoid.

I really do like this idea. I never really payed too much attention to those when I first discovered Melee, but I would like to see them make a comeback. They were a nice touch.

They were cool, although if they return I'd like to be able to see them before I get them.

I really hate the idea of having to achieve every existing bonus in the game to get a trophy. Do you even know how ridiculous it was to get the Diskun trophy?

You hate the idea of completing a list of inane things in order to get a trophy...

But you're happy to collect a different bunch of inane things, ie the trophies themselves?

Bonus mode?

Meh.

Looking at your bonuses after a regular fight just to see what cool/funny/stupid/weird things you did?

I ****ing miss that.

Even without an actual gameplay purpose, bonuses are fun and they deserve a comeback.

Just like many of you I don't care for the Bonus matches, but I miss the Bonuses, they were a good read after matches :grin:

And yes, the Diskun trophy was insufferable u.u

Yeah, they were severely missed in Brawl. I loved reading the description/obtain methods of the bonuses too, so I would like them to return.

It was fun trying to get new bonuses.

I was indifferent for vs mode, but they really spiced up the single player modes. Completing Classic, Adventure, and All Star with all characters was much better when you could be rewarded for doing crazy things each round.

I missed bonuses in Brawl because they helped spice up each go in single-player. Without them (and randomization in single-player that Brawl removed), my runs of classic/all-star all had similar scores, and going through it with everyone became a bit of a chore instead of fun.
