Strategies Written by Hutz

There are a total of 51 Event Matches. However, not all 51 are available when you start. More of them open up after unlocking certain Hidden Characters, and as you complete the existing Events.

When you first begin, you'll find that the Event Matches are a breeze to complete. But as you progress through them, they get considerably tougher to beat.

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 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.

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.

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 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.
