Versing other players locally or the CPU in a mode such as Smash Mode will unlock a new challenger about every 10 minutes. Fighters challenged via this method have a specific order in which they will appear. Reports suggest that the game records the amount and variety of button inputs you make during each match and that you must reach a minimum amount of inputs before another challenger can appear. You must also wait 10 minutes before another challenger can approach. Exiting and relaunching the game eliminates the need to wait for the 10 minute cool down making it possible to farm challengers as soon as the game has detected enough inputs. You don't need to win your match for a Challenger to approach. Classic Mode counts towards the input requirement but also causes a challenger to appear depending on the character you chose once you've completed the rounds. This means you can complete Classic Mode, get a challenger, restart the game and then do a quick 1 stock match in Smash Mode to get another challenger. This may be a good option if you only have CPU to battle. Entering Adventure Mode and exiting again will also get a challenger to approach if the conditions are met.

Every time you clear Classic Mode a challenger will approach depending on the fighter you used. Each default fighter has their own unlock path. When you beat Classic Mode with a default fighter it will challenge the next available fighter on its path. If you clear Classic Mode with a fighter you have unlocked it will continue to the next fighter from its spot on the same path. If a default fighter has battled everybody on their path or if an unlocked fighter has challenged everybody in front of them on their path they will start to follow Mario's path and then continue to the next path underneath.

If you lose to a fighter it is possible to have a rematch.. eventually. It's not possible to have a rematch by doing method 1 or 2 again. You have to wait for a notification that says 'Challenger's Approach has appeared!'. A match will trigger it, such as after a round of Smash or completing a route in Classic Mode. When exactly does the notification appear? It appears not to be an exact science. Just keep playing offline modes and it will appear eventually.

When the notification appears press Y or go to Games & More and find the golden door below the amiibo option. You can select which fighter you want to use.

If you want to avoid the entire rematch process you could do the following. When you are battling a challenger and you lose your final stock straight away press the home button and close the game. The challenger will reappear once you have another match again (method 1) or complete the route in Classic Mode again (method 2).

Adventure mode is generally much slower to unlock all the fighters. If you plan on completing Adventure Mode and not in a rush to get all the fighters then you can accomplish two aims with one stone (one mode, multiple stones from Kirby). Unlike the other methods if you lose the fight you can have a rematch straight away.
