Does the browser hack work on 8.x? If so (provided your friend doesn't care about hacking his 3DS) you can install an update with devmenu or set up an emuNAND or something. If that's not an option, I think the US release of Sm4sh has a 9.2 update on it.

I assume hope that Kamui's death would still result in a game over on phoenix mode because otherwise there would be no fail state. I never really hated casual mode because I can understand why some people would use it but phoenix mode seems like a step too far.
