Ultimate Company Smackdown/Smackers United

Smackers United is the story mode for Ultimate Company Smackdown.

Gameplay
Smackers United combines the mechanics of the fighting game with the mechanics of a platformer. It is a side-scroller that involves the characters battling a variety of enemies, traveling throughout platforms, some with grabbable ledges. The stats, abilities, attacks, special moves, and mechanics of each character carries over perfectly from regular matches to the story mode.

The enemies fought are mainly lightweights, with midweights and heavyweights appearing once in a while. This prevents the player from being overwhelmed. Each enemy has access to their own standard special, side special, up special, diagonal special, and down special, each for their own use, but no regular attacks. Bosses also have their own specials, in addition to the regular attacks that playable characters have. Certain bosses also have their own special abilities. All characters to appear in Smackers United, whether playable character, enemy, mid-boss, or boss, also have their own Ultimate Attack.

Items can appear during gameplay, depending on whether items are enabled or not by the player. The frequency of items appearing can be set by the player as well.

For each level, there are characters that can be chosen by the player to play as. The number of total characters available a level will always vary, in addition to the number of characters that can be chosen for the level's team, and the number of stocks that each character has. If a playable character is KO'd, the next character in the waiting pool becomes playable. This is the only way to switch playable characters, not counting switching by using transformations.

At the beginning of a level, one of five difficulties can be selected. The difficulties are Piece of Cake, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Rock Hard. As the difficulty level increases, the fighting level of the enemies, number of enemies, and frequency of items not appearing, will increase, in addition to other changes.

Story
Every met character (symbolized by bolding, with unlockable characters also symbolized with italics) will become unlocked if not already.
