i'm in to here this, although I might not get to play the game, it'll be interesting to know, and I'll gladly help with your english in the article.

Yes please I'd love this!
I don't know when I'll get to play the game but I hope to eventually get a switch.

Hi.
Finally I have the Switch and can start in some days. But before...
The game like the previous games is playable, some stages are dificult but it's playable. The menu sistem is great, for example in the main menu the menus doesn't wrap to the first option, etc.

Hi.
Is this game only released for the Switch?

Rough menu guide incoming...
Updated January 6, 2019.

Also a present icon appears at the far right, but most of the time, it won't do anything.

So it actually looks like this.

      Tips

Sounds Menu
Music
Voices
My music
An option for playlists appears to the right of music.
Choosing music will bring up a list of all the albums you have.
These are actually the different game series with a play all option at the far left, which is where you start.
Choosing any of these options will bring up a menu of all the songs on that album.
At time of writing this guide, the music menu reports that I have 851 songs unlocked with a total playtime of 28 hours, 40 minutes and 28 seconds, so you'll need to disable your sleep timer if you plan on playing all songs anytime soon.
This isn't what you start out with, I just thought I'd give you an idea of what you're in for with the play all option.
Oh yeah, the controls...
Pres A to play a song, left up down or right to select a different song, l or R to move by track hold to rewind or fast forward; yeah that's actually a thing; start to pause or unpause, but only if you're on the song that's playing; otherwise it'll just play the song you're on, B to exit.
The Y button will bring up an option to add the selected song to a playlist.
Press A to enter something on the name screen then press start to creat a playlist.
This will complete a challenge and unlock the song "Valt."
To remove said playlist, go to playlists, press right, then press X then hold down to get to the delete option, then pres A, left to select yes, then A.
You can also remove the default "Main Themes" playlist in the same manner, just without having to pres right first.
Once all playlists are gone, said option will simply produce a "No playlists found" prompt before kicking you out to the sounds menu.
This will also happen when deleting your last playlist.
Pro tip, plug a USB keyboard into your docked switch to enter names that are, well, actual names.

Smash Menu
Smash
Tourney
Special Smash
Squad Strike is on the left.

So it kind of looks like this

            Smash
Squad Strike Tourney
             Special Smash

Special Smash Menu
Custom Smash
Smashdown, Super Sudden Death

When entering these modes, you'll be asked for your ruleset.
The top option is last used, but you can press right to bring up the menu to edit or delete the set.
Edit is the top option, and it'll bring up the menu below.

End notes.

Save
Note; Save will ask for a name if you haven't entered one yet. Just press start to use the default.
You can press start anywhere on the rules menu to activate the save option.
You'll know the name screen has appeared because the music volume will decrease.
Holding right or left on a setting that uses a number (IE Stock, time Limit) will cause it to increment or decrement to it's highest or lowest value before stopping. pressing the same direction will cause the setting to rap to it's lowest or highest value.
Settings like style or the on off toggles do not rap.
Also, holding up or down will cause the menu to scrole all the way to the top or bottom without rapping.
Pressing up or down again will of course cause the menu to rap.

The items menu still allows you to place items in the stage to mess around with, however it has evolved from a simple toggle to a full-fledged system.
For example, you can now select the specific assist trophy or Pokémon that will appear from the assist trophy, Poké ball or master ball respectively.
You'll need to click on the assist trophy, Poké ball or master Ball option to then get a list of what can appear from it.
Once in either of these menus, back is on the left.
As with other menus, hold left until the curser sound stops to find it.
The smash ball, assist trophy, Poké Ball, then Master ball options are the first on the menu.

Dashboard Menu
Access this by pressing ZR or pressing right on the DPad until you hear a page opening sound.
Close it by either pressing left or the B button.
As with most menus, holding up or down will cause the menu to scrole to the topmost or bottommost item respectively, while pressing the same direction again will cause it to rap to the bottom or top respectively.

Go to Top Menu

The only thing in smash settings you'll want to change is the setting for echo fighters.
This is the third item on the list, and effects all modes except classic.
The default setting is stacked, but you can change it to unstacked by pressing right or left.
While stacked, press Y on a fighter to change to its echo fighter.
Note that pressing B to cansel your selection will also default you to the base fighter.

The sound settings menu is comprised of volume sliders for music, sound effects, and voices from top to bottom, with an extra option to adjust equalization below these.
This extra option cycles between normal, extra treble, then extra base.
Below this setting are shortcuts to the sounds and my music menus.
These shortcuts take up 1 roe, so my music is to the right of sounds.

Stage Select screen Tips
When on the stage select menu, pressing x will cycle between normal, battle field and omega forms.
Pressing Y on a stage will bring up its music choices. While on this menu, pressing Y will toggle the music preview on and off for all choices except the top option, which respects your my music settings.
Up and down move one song at a time, while right and left move by a bigger number.
Pressing b will exit this menu.
Please note that exiting the music preview will reset the form of the stage to normal.
Using these options you can easily choose your stage.
In all but training mode, random is your default, but is not actually selected.
In training mode, you start on the training stage which is at the far left.
This means that all stage choices are offset by one in this mode.
Please note that the default music choice for all stages in this mode is the training theme.
You'll need to use the Y button to select other songs.
Please note that the Y button will preview the training theme, as it's an actual song that can be played.
Once you select a song for a stage, the game will remember it until you select a stage.
So if I select the song "Brake Free (Lead the way)" on the "new donk city hall" stage before moving to another stage, the game will remember that I thought about choosing that song, so the music preview will still play "Brake Free (Lead the way)" if I land on "New Donk City Hall" again.
However, once I leave the screen by backing out or going to the fighter select screen, those memorised songs are forgotten.

Additional Tips
Press and hold B to exit the stage select or fighter select screens.
You'll hear a rising sound before you exit the screen, so release the button before it finishes to stay on the respectibe screen.
This is also how you exit adventure mode.
In the spiret board or adventure mode, the menu that appears when selecting a node always has the party or spirets option at the top.
Clicking this will bring up another menu with the option to change your fighter on the far left with the spirits option next to it which is where you start.
Enter the spiret option then press Y to have the game pick a team for you.
Pres start to fight on the first or second menu.
Their's also an option to fight at the bottom of the first menu, just pres down to reach it.

Thanks for the more detailed notes. To be able to continue in World of Light, does anyone have any tips on navigating between nodes? I was able to get to the Guardian node and unlock Marth, but now I'm a bit lost. Also, what, in other people's opinions, is the easiest way to OCR from the Switch to read spirit descriptions? Is it easier to connect a Bluetooth headset to a TV and OCR using Seeing AI, or is it easier to do in handheld mode?

@threeblacknoises thanks for that menu guide, It's incomplete but it have a lot of imformation to start. I'm interested in how to do a 2 players match for example, I know that in the fighter's selection screen it's at the botom, and if you move left to right it moves the cursor and that make a sound. I think it's the first option but... Wen i press A, the right joy-con vibrates and nothing happens. Someone know how to do it?

so newbish question, which smash game would you recommend to start off with, would brawl or melee be decent?  also any tips on playing as a blind player would really be appreciated.  I think these questions have been asked before, but haven't really been answered.

HI,

@1

Yup, i am interested for sure

Greetz mike

HI,

Oh, that sounds awsome. Can it be found on the forums? Or did someone you know made this guide? In other words, where can we find it, if it can be found of course

Greetz mike

HI,

Oopsy, my mistake, i had to scan the topic before asking haha, thanks for pointing out

Greetz mike

Whenever I play the game this weekend, I will try and get the character select screen and stage selection posted.
On a side note, has anyone noticed that in some smash battles, when someone is launched, the camera zooms, and the audio is displaced? I tried changing the radar setting to off, but that didn't seem to help. I'd prefer to not just play in Special smash, but there are times where it looks like your character is in the middle but they actually aren't.
