Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS character unlock guide

Get your smash on

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is now out in Japan and, thanks to some industrious streamers, we know who is in the entire Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS roster (opens in new tab) (and which characters got snubbed from the game (opens in new tab)). And now that we know who is in the game, how do you unlock great secret characters like Bowser Jr. and the Duck Hunt Dog? And how long it'll take (hint: not that long).

Compared to the hundreds or thousands of matches you have to play for unlocks in older Smash games, Nintendo made it much easier this time around. You'll seemingly have all 12 of the secret characters unlocked in 120 matches! Read on to see what order you'll be getting them in...

Ness - Finish 10 matches

Falco - Finish 20 matches

Wario - Finish 30 matches

Lucina - Finish 40 matches

Dark Pit - Finish 50 matches

Dr. Mario - Finish 60 matches

R.O.B. - Finish 70 matches

Ganondorf - Finish 80 matches

Mr. Game & Watch - Finish 90 matches

Bowser Jr. - Finish 100 matches

Duck Hunt Dog - Finish 110 matches

Jigglypuff - Finish 120 matches
