Will this feud ever end? As Mario, it's your job to KO Bowser twice before he does the same to you. Mario is a balanced character who's easy to learn, and Bowser is the slowest character in the game. Take advantage of the situation and pelt Bowser with fireballs and quick attacks. When his damage gets high, a quick smash is all that's needed to send him out of the arena. |
It's King Kong vs. an ant! As Giant DK, you have to KO tiny DK twice before he KO's you twice.
This battle seems rather lopsided at first, but once you start you'll realize that hitting Tiny DK is an exercise in frustration. If he's on the ground, use down+A attacks, and if he's on a higher platform, use forward+A attacks. Once you get a chance, charge up your Giant Punch fully for a quick KO.
So much fire... everything in this match explodes! Pokeballs release Electrode, Samus and Link are bomb happy, and Bob-ombs and Motion Sensor Bombs are everywhere! Everybody has one life to lose.
Try to stay away from all the explosions and grab all the items you can. Bob-ombs and Motion Sensor Bombs are quick and easy ways to destroy your opponents.
With three lives, you must KO Yoshi once. He's a rather big dinosaur here, though, and his attacks almost always hit you.
Use a character you're proficient with, preferably one with a good Meteor Smash. Once his damage gets high, a Meteor Smash near the edge can send him down fast. Yoshi is somewhat clumsy and often falls of the edge by himself.
|
As Ness, you face Captain Falcon in a Coin Match with a 200 Coin limit. The arena is Onett, so watch out for the speeding vehicles! Even if you're not good with Ness, this Event Match is a breeze. Just keep smashing Captain Falcon and grab the resulting money that flies from him. KOing him will make half his coins fall to the edge of the arena, so whenever you can, KO him at the sides of the arena. Also, getting smoked by a car releases a ton of money, so lure him down when the "!" exclamation appears. |
As the fighter of your choice, you must KO 3 small Kirbys twice. Since they're so tiny, single attacks tend to knock them out.
The Kirbys here are small, sound really funny, and fly off the arena with a single smash. They also seem to be scared of you, and spend more time evading than attacking. They don't put up much of a fight, so this Event Match should be no problem.
It's a standard 2 life battle against Pikachu. Or so it seems. Regular attacks do nothing to both of you. The only way to attack is to use the Pokeballs that frequently drop from the sky.
Fast characters are the best for this match, like Fox or Captain Falcon. Since you're not attacking, just rush to every Pokeball you see and crack it open. Once Pikachu gets trapped in Pokemon attacks, you should have no problem collecting more Pokeballs.
It's just you versus Samus, and you each have three lives. You both start off with over 100% damage, though. It's your lucky day, because she starts off with more than you!
Try to avoid using light characters, as you start off with too much damage for comfort. After damaging Samus a bit after the match starts, she flies off the arena rather easily. Just don't fall prey to any of her powerful attacks.
You're against 2 Zeldas, and you each have only one life. Even though they fly off the arena easily, they keep regenerating unless they're KOed in their Sheik form.
When the match starts, immediately use weak, quick attacks to raise the Zeldas' damage meters. Once they turn into Sheik, rush in and hit them with a quick smash before they turn back to Zelda. They're lighter weight than you think.
With two lives, you must KO each of the five opponents once in five separate one-on-one battles. Your opponents are the classic Mario series stars.
The first of five All-Star Event Matches, this is a pretty simple Event Match that tests your true fighting skills. As you KO each opponent, the arena changes and another challenger awaits. Try not to take too much damage early on, as losing a life early could spell doom in a later match.
You have one life, and the two pairs of Ice Climbers you're against have infinite. The match is yours if you survive for one minute.
Try to select a fast, evasive character, like Pikachu or Fox. Don't focus on attacking the Ice Climbers, as any KO is made in vain. Just run around and avoid their attacks. It's not hard to survive for one minute.
In seven seconds, you must KO the speed demon Captain Falcon, and you both start off with 100% damage.
This Event Match is simple - use Captain Falcon or Ganondorf and open up with a B attack (Falcon Punch/Warlock Punch). He walks into it every time.
|
As Yoshi, you must protect your egg from your opponents for 55 seconds. Although Yoshi lacks a triple jump, his double jump is his best evasive maneuver. Grab the egg before your opponents pelt you with it too much, and keep double jumping around them. If you're persistent, you'll survive for 55 seconds. |
|
Fighting on the curvy head of a Goomba, you must defeat 3 opponents. Everybody has two lives, and winning will net you a Goomba Trophy. The opponents are random, and the sloped surfaces of the Goomba is awkward to fight on. Muster every bit of skill you have to avoid falling off while dishing out attacks. Use items to your advantage, and guard the edge of the arena when possible to keep stubborn opponents from coming back. |
It's you versus the girls, and your character has been made smaller so they sound more female. Everybody has two lives.
This Event Match can be rather tricky, as Fountain of Dreams is a fairly small arena. Try to keep all your opponents on one side to prevent back attacks, and be careful. Your character is smaller and easier to KO than usual. Guard the edge of the arena whenever possible, and keep an eye out for helpful items.
As Kirby, you must dispatch 10 of your fellow men. The catch? You get 38 seconds to KO them all, and only Warp Stars will hurt them.
Your opponents do little more than pace back and forth across the Great Fox. Grab Warp Stars as the parade of puffballs draws near, and use the Control Stick to steer the star mid-air towards the group. It takes a bit of practice to pull this off, but you'll be able to finish this Event Match in no time once you've mastered it.
As Samus, you must defeat Bowser before Captain Falcon does. You're unable to damage your fellow Bounty Hunter.
Captain Falcon is surprisingly powerful in this match. The downside to his power is that he occasionally KO's himself by accident. If that happens, the match is basically yours. If he does survive, though, keep grabbing Bowser away with your grappling hook and fling him away from Captain Falcon. Make sure you attack quickly, as Falcon is rather quick to steal your prey right from under your nose.
|
A battle seen only twice before in the Zelda series, Link must face off against his darker half. Dark Link is exactly like Link except for his appearance. You each have two lives. If you're good with Link, this Event Match isn't too hard. Keep the battle near either side of the arena, and when Dark Link has enough damage, Spin Attack (up+B) him off the edge. If the battle is kept near the middle, you'll spend too much effort damaging him when it's not necessary. |
You play the role of Mario the Bodyguard as Bowser makes an attempt to defeat Princess Peach once and for all. Defeating Bowser does nothing - your job is to keep you and Peach alive for one minute.
This Event Match requires persistence. Notice Peach's pattern - all she does is walk back and forth on the arena. Use her predictable nature to your advantage and hurl Bowser behind her. Avoid being damaged too much and keep Bowser out of Peach's face. If you start getting too damaged and the match is almost over, just let Bowser attack her. She can survive for a while. Make sure to use all the items available to your advantage.
Basically the same setup as All-Star Match 1, you fight five different opponents in one-on-one matches. This time, your opponents are the realistic Nintendo stars.
The same advice for All-Star Match 1 applies. It's a true test of skill and endurance to defeat 5 opponents with two lives. It's not difficult if you use a character you've mastered.
In one minute, you must defeat two pairs of Ice Climbers. Actually, you only need to defeat one pair - both pink Nanas. KOing a blue Popo will fail the match.
This Event Match is a lot like making eggs - you first must separate. Use regular attacks to eventually pry each pair apart, then send the Nana flying. The Ice Climbers do nothing more than jump up and down constantly, making them easy targets.
|
It's just like an early GameCube demo that featured 128 Marios on-screen Only 5 appear at once, but in total you must defeat 128 of the little runts. Although you get swarmed with a lot of Marios, they're really easy to KO. A single Strong attack is enough to send them off. As the match starts, jump up to either side of the arena and duck down. Keep using sweep attacks to KO the tiny plumbers. If they surround you, jump to the other side of the arena and commence the repeated sweep attacks again. |
It's you versus Fox and Falco, and everybody has two lives. However, Slippy created a permanent cloaking device that they both use, so it's really hard to see your attackers. (Funny, I thought the Skedar invented that thing...)
While it's hard to see your opponents, it's not impossible. You can catch glimpses of them as they move around, and they become semi-visible when they attack. Keep the battle on the lower wings, as it's easier to KO them there. Make sure that they're between you and the edge so they don't KO you by surprise. Fox and Falco are both light, so using smash attacks at the edge of the wings is a good way to KO them.
You have 2 measly minutes to defeat an entire herd of 30 Yoshis. They're really weak, however, and easily KOed with certain attacks.
Find an attack that KOs the Yoshis in one hit and stick with it. They play rather defensively and wait for you to come to them. The arena is awkward to KO opponents in because of the sloped sides. Nonetheless, be persistent and aggressive, but be careful when around the center of the arena, as you can easily fall down without knowing it.
|
Atop the towering skyscrapers of Fourside, you must KO giant DK twice with only one life. A nice touch to this match are the tiny Mario and Peach characters that DK instantly destroys! As if Bowser weren't already awkward enough to control, now he's bigger and more clumsy! Immediately take the battle to DK and attack him from the right side of the Monotoli Building, keeping DK on the building at the far right. Use a combination of attacks including down+A strong, down+A smash, forward+A strong/smash, down+B, and B. DK will often fall into the space between buildings and be unable to recover. If not, he can be smashed off to the side at about 300% damage. Event Match 26: Trophy Tussle 2 Character: Your choice Opponent(s): 3 Random Characters Arena: Entei Trophy
Event Match 27: Cold Armor Character: Samus Opponent(s): 3 Metal Samus Arena: Brinstar Depths With a single life, you must defeat a team of 3 Metal Samus twice. Being metal, they're hard to send off the arena, but it's even harder for them to recover! A simple trick will get you through this Event Match: Samus's down+A smash. Stand at the edge of the arena, facing your opponents. The down+A smash will sweep your opponents behind you, off the edge of the arena. They can be KOed like this at fairly low damage, but be careful. When the arena starts rotating, high-tail it to a safe spot. Event Match 28: Puffballs Unite! Character: Your choice Opponent(s): 14 Kirbys Arena: Green Greens As the character of your choice, you must defeat 14 Kirbys, each with a copied ability. You have to be a speed demon to clear this, because you only get two minutes. That works out to 8.5 seconds a Kirby! This works best with a strong character. When you start the match, head to either side of the arena, at the very edge. As the puffballs bound towards you, roll back and hit them with a strong smash. If you guard the edge you should be able to defeat a few of them at a time. Keep switching sides of the arena and use the above strategy to KO the Kirbys at an alarming rate. Or just be Donkey Kong and stay in the middle while holding down and pushing B repeatedly(Hand Slap Attack) without stopping. Event Match 29: Triforce Gathering Character: Link Opponent(s): Ganondorf Arena: Temple
Event Match 30: All-Star Match 3 Character: Your choice Opponent(s): Kirby, Pikachu, Ness, Ice Climbers Arena: Varies The same setup as the previous All-Star matches, you're up against the smaller Nintendo stars this time. This All-Star Match is pretty simple in that your opponents are all lightweight. They don't need too much damage to be sent soaring from the field of battle. Event Match 31: Mario Bros. Madness Character: Your choice Opponent(s): Mario, Luigi Arena: Mushroom Kingdom Up against the Super Mario Bros. heroes, you must earn more points than them in two minutes. Unlike most of the other Event Matches, you're playing for points in this, not lives. Therefore, you all get infinite lives, but you must achieve more KOs than them. What makes it simpler on your part is their team aspect - KO each of them once, and they'll have to KO you twice in order to catch up. Spend a bit of time damaging them, then lure them to the sides of the arena for quick KOs. Once you're in the lead, you can just kill some time if you don't feel like fighting. Event Match 32: Target Aquired Character: Falco Opponent(s): Jigglypuff Arena: Corneria In one minute, try to KO Jigglypuff as much as you can. Your only real opponent is the team of Arwings that seems to want the 'puff dead more than you do. If Jigglypuff is KOed more by the Arwings than you, you fail. Be firm and direct with your attacks. Avoid Arwing fire as much as possible and take out Jigglypuff as many times as you can. Spend little time damaging and more time smashing at the side of the arena. Keep her out of the air and use any items you can get your hands on. Event Match 33: Lethal Marathon Character: Captain Falcon Opponent(s): N/A Arena: F-Zero Grand Prix (Adventure Mode Stage) As the speed-demon Captain Falcon, you must race through Adventure Mode's F-Zero Grand Prix stage in 45 seconds. As if that's not a challenge, the gameplay speed is cranked up, making control really awkward. It helps to have played through Adventure Mode as Captain Falcon before. Practice dashing on double speed Training Mode, as it can be tricky to run unless you really hammer on that Control Stick. Here's the basic strategy for surviving: jump up to the fourth overhead platform you come by, and wait for the racers to whiz by. Keep running and wait on the platforms suspended over the water for another pass. After those two groups of racers pass, the goal is in the clear. Event Match 34: Seven Years Character: Young Link Opponent(s): Link Arena: Great Bay Seven Years really makes a difference in one's fighting style. As the quick and mobile Young Link, you must defeat the older incarnation of yourself, of whom is slower but more powerful. You each get 3 lives. Players who are new to Young Link will find this Event Match impossible. With some practice, though, you'll be able to sort out his good and bad moves. Keep in mind that his forward+A smash doesn't send opponents flying, and you'll have to follow it up with another tap of A to dish out a real smash. His down+A smash is a good substitute. As for battling Link, try to keep the fight near the bottom of the arena. If you can knock him down into the water below the deck, he'll often be unable to recover. Event Match 35: Time for a Checkup Character: Luigi Opponent(s): Dr. Mario, Peach Arena: Yoshi's Story
Event Match 36: Space Travelers Character: Ness Opponent(s): Samus, Kirby, Fox, Captain Falcon, Falco Arena: Varies As Ness, you must defend Earth from the likes of space travelers. You get only one life, but you only face one opponent at a time. You must be very proficient with Ness to clear this Event Match. It starts off easy, but it quickly becomes difficult after KOing Kirby. You face your first 3 foes on Fourside, then the arena changes to Battlefield where you face the final 2 opponents. Both of these arenas present an opportunity to Meteor Smash your adversaries into gaps below, so if possible set it up. In Fourside, you can rake up cheesy KOs simply by tossing items or PK Fire at your foes as they jump across the gaps - they'll mid-air dodge then plummet straight down. Don't forget Ness's throw! It's more powerful than most other characters'. Event Match 37: Legendary Pokemon Character: Your choice Opponent(s): 4 Wireframes, Jigglypuff Arena: Battlefield With one life, you have to defeat 4 Wireframes and a Jigglypuff twice each. The catch? All the Pokeballs contain ultra-powerful, Legendary Pokemon! Clearing this Event Match gives you a chance to earn the baby Pokemon Pichu as a hidden character. Although intimidating at first, with the right strategy this Event Match is a breeze. Focus not on KOing your foes with regular attacks - instead, just push them out of your way to grab every Pokeball you can find. They all contain extremely powerful Pokemon that will happily damage them for you! Since Jigglypuff is the only other character who'll collect Pokeballs, try to get rid of her first. Event Match 38: Super Mario Bros. 2 Character: Your choice Opponent(s): Mario, Luigi, Peach Arena: Mushroom Kingdom II Everybody has two lives, and you're against the Super Mario Bros. 2 crew (Toad isn't a playable character, just one of Peach's moves). To complete the ensemble, you're fighting in none other than the Super Mario Bros. 2 recreation arena! As with any 3-on-1 match where you're the lone gunman, move around a lot to prevent double and triple team attacks. Mushroom Kingdom II is a death trap, as simple, weak attacks often spell doom because of the tight boundaries. Damage a little, smash a lot - you'll dish out quick KOs that way. Event Match 39: Jigglypuff Live! Character: Jigglypuff Opponent(s): 3 Jigglypuffs Arena: Pokemon Stadium It's the most adorable concert ever! Four Jigglypuff grab the center of Pokemon Stadium in an apparent fight for the microphone. Lucky you - 3 of them have decided to team up against you! You can recognize your own 'puff by its lack of accessories. Nonetheless, 3-on-1 matches are hard enough without being forced to fight as a character you probably don't normally use. Be evasive and don't attack until it's safe. The 'puffs can easily get the better of you unless you set up correctly. Jigglypuff's most famous move, Rest, will only hit if the center of her body is touching the opponent(s), but if it hits they're outta there! Try using it when they're in clustered groups. Event Match 40: All-Star Match 4 Character: Your choice Opponent(s): Marth, Luigi, Jigglpuff, Mewtwo, Mr. Game & Watch Arena: Varies
Event Match 41: En Garde! Character: Marth Opponent(s): Link Arena: Temple As the mighty swordsman Marth, you must defeat Link in a battle of steel. You both have two lives and fight in the spacious Temple arena. It's a standard 1-on-1 battle. It helps to practice Marth's moves a bit first. Take advantage of Marth's range and speed, and use the forward+A smash to finish off Link. Event Match 42: Trouble King 2 Character: Luigi Opponent(s): Giant Bowser Arena: Poke Floats As Luigi, face-off against Giant Bowser in the aerial arena Poke Floats. You each have two lives. This is a lot more difficult than the first Trouble King match. If you lure Bowser to the edge of the arena, he'll sometimes butt-stomp right off the edge. The best strategy is to consistently attack Bowser with different smashes when he's at the edge. He'll often fall off. Beware: a single attack is all that's needed to KO you. Event Match 43: Birds of Prey Character: Fox Opponent(s): Captain Falcon, Falco Arena: Big Blue Fox is forced to fight a team consisting of his fellow wingman Falco and the F-Zero master Captain Falcon. Everybody has two lives, and the action takes place upon the racing vehicles of the F-Zero Grand Prix. This match can be excruciatingly difficult because of the speed of all the characters - Fox, Falco, and Captain Falcon are all very fast fighters. Get used to Fox, as his jumping is different from most of the other characters. Lure your opponents to the overhead platforms, then quickly roll and smash them into the side boundaries. Keep in mind that if you fall on the track, you have a second or two to jump back up before being forced off the arena. Event Match 44: Mewtwo Strikes! Character: Your choice Opponent(s): Zelda, Mewtwo Arena: Battlefield
Event Match 45: Game & Watch Forever! Character: Mr. Game & Watch Opponent(s): 25 Mr. Game & Watch Arena: Flat Zone As a red Mr. Game & Watch, you must defeat 25 of your weaker bretheren. You get 3 lives, and you play on your home soil: Flat Zone. This is even easier than the final All-Star match because you get 3 lives. Just dish out constant smashes and your opponents will drop like flies. Event Match 46: Fire Emblem Pride Character: Your choice Opponent(s): Marth, Roy Arena: Temple The two stars of Fire Emblem have joined forces against you. It takes place on the wide open landscape of the Hyrule Temple, and everybody has 3 lives. Marth and Roy are very balanced fighters, but they do have their disadvantages. They lack projectiles, and they can't string together fast attacks easily. Attack them from the air and with projectiles - they won't stand a chance. If you attack them head-on, they'll give you a beating with skilled swordplay and counters. Event Match 47: Trophy Tussle 3 Character: Your choice Opponent(s): 3 Random Characters Arena: Majora's Mask Trophy
Event Match 48: Pikachu and Pichu Character: Your choice Opponent(s): Pikachu, 2 Pichu Arena: Dream Land Pikachu's job is to protect its two babies. With two lives, you must KO both Pichu. KOing the Pikachu is a vain attempt, as it will not die. This one is trickier than it looks. You're in for an extended shock treatment session against these little critters! They're all really aggressive, although you only have to KO the two lighter Pokemon. Watch out for their electric attacks, and get Pikachu out of your face so you have a chance to eliminate the two Pichu. Event Match 49: All-Star Match Deluxe Character: Your choice Opponent(s): Dr. Mario, Falco, Pichu, Young Link, Roy, Ganondorf Arena: Varies The final All-Star Match is also the longest one. You face six opponents, of whom are all hidden clones of other characters. This is a fairly easy Event Match, considering it's the third last one. You've already played against variations of these fighters before, so they shouldn't have too many nasty surprises for you. Event Match 50: Final Destination Match Character: Your choice Opponent(s): Master Hand, Crazy Hand Arena: Final Destination
Event Match 51: The Showdown Character: Your choice Opponent(s): Ganondorf, Mewtwo, Giga Bowser Arena: Final Destination
