5. Challenge Missions.
These missions are represented on the screen by orange stars and on the map by
orange icons, an exclamation point for new ones and a star for ones you've
completed. They are optional missions that give you smash points for completion
which you can do any time during free roam. The better you do (faster time,
more enemies defeated, etc) the more smash points you get. Challenges can be
replayed as many times as you like, so you have many chances to practice and
top your best performances. You can even win Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals
for especially high scores. Note- not all challenges are available from the
beginning of the game. Some require certain missions be completed or moves be
purchased before they will appear. Check your in-game maps often for new ones,
there will usually be more available after every chapter and some story
missions. Challenges you can't do yet appear on the screen as gray stars. You
can also replay all the challenges you've completed directly from the Main
Menu. For ease of space, I will cover all the challenges here.
