- Fight Crazy Hand in Classic mode
Reach Master Hand in Classic mode in under nine minutes on the Hard or higher difficulty without using any continues to fight both Crazy Hand and Master Hand together.

- Easy unlocking
Use the following trick to unlock all characters in under two hours. Enter VS. mode, and select Special Match mode. Set it to Stamina and Flower modes. At the character selection screen, give the CPU 1 health and your character anything over 1 health. Also, make sure that it is on 1 Life Stock mode. Set the stage to Shadow Moses Island, at least until Snake appears and you defeat him. Keep playing this way for approximately two hours and you have around 500 VS. mode games played. By then, you should have unlocked all characters. Notice: Make sure you are using a character you are good with because after a certain number of rounds, you will unlock each character and have to face them in a fight. It is 1 vs. 1 -- so it is recommended that you use a character like Ike, who hits very hard. However, do not worry if you lose; after one more VS. mode round, you will get to try again. -From: Austin Graham


Setup a Special Brawl. Choose the options 'Stamina' (matches are based off of HP) and 'Flower' (characters will have a health-draining Flower on their heads at all times). Play against a single CPU character, and set their HP to 1, leaving your HP anything higher than 1. When a fight begins, your opponent will automatically die from the flower (this is a self-destruct) and the match will end. This method is very useful for unlocking anything that requires 'Brawl on [stage name] a certain number of times' or 'Brawl with [character name] a certain number of times', etc. It can also be used to easily increase the number of Brawls played to unlock characters and Assist trophies. The only thing it cannot unlock is anything requiring standard Brawl victories, as it is a Special Brawl and not standard.


To unlock the 75m stage, you must play as Donkey Kong twenty times. To easily unlock the stage, go to Special Brawl. Change the settings so that you have a flower on your head and stamina is at 1 HP. Then, choose DK and any stage. When the match begins, you will instantly fall down and the match will end. Do this twenty times to unlock the 75m stage. Notice: You can do this to unlock other stages too as long as you meet the requirements.

- Stopping knockback effects with Ike
This trick allows you to endure a hit that usually causes the knockback effects when using Ike. When you are about to be hit by an objects such as a Smart Bomb, press Up + B to do Ike's special move, Aether. Your sword must still be alone in mid-air when hit. If done correctly, you will continue to jump upwards toward your sword after the hit has landed and finish the move. This is very useful and can be much easier to time and execute than sidestepping.

- Character conversations
To perform Solid Snake, Fox, Falco, and Wolf's Smash Taunt, do the following. For Snake, go to the Shadow Moses Island stage, and quickly and repeatedly tap D-pad Down. Snake should crouch down and put his hand to his ear, occasionally nodding and seeming to speak to someone. He will then stand up and a beeping noise will be heard. Then, Snake and one of three characters (Colonel Roy Campbell, Mei Ling, or Otacon) will talk to Snake about the character you are fighting. For Fox, Falco, or Wolf, go to the Lylat Cruise stage, and quickly and repeatedly tap D-pad Down. Fox, Falco, or Wolf will bend down and begin to rapidly shake his fist. After a brief period of time, Fox, Falco, or Wolf will stand up and salute someone off-screen. However, nothing will happen until you pass through the warp. Afterwards, Fox, Falco, or Wolf's team will begin talking about the fight. What all the characters will say depends on where you are, leading to a total of five different conversations for all three characters. Notice: This can also be done with Fox and Falco on the Corneria Melee stage.


Play on the Shadow Moses Island stage as Snake in Training mode and select Falco your CPU opponent. Quickly and repeatedly tap D-pad Down. When Snake kneels down, instead of Colonel Roy Campbell, Mei Ling, or Otacon calling him, Slippy from Star Fox will call him.

- Easy home runs in Home Run Contest
This trick works for any character. Immediately turn around, pick up the bat, and throw it at the Sandbag. You should not have to move much to pick it up again while it is still in the air. Throw it again. Repeat this process until you have about two seconds remaining. Then, go behind the bag, and smash it. You should be able to get at least 1,500 feet every time. Notice: Do not hesitate or wait until the bag is stopped. You will lose precious time. Also, you will have to turn around to face the bag after each hit.

Quickly pause the game, then select the smart bomb again. Then, choose only one smart bomb every second. If you select them too fast, you will run out. This will save you a lot of time.


Go to a stage where there is a wall that you can push the enemy up against (for example, Corneria, Temple). Push the CPU character up to the wall. Drop three of the Superspicy Curry items. Move forward to get the curry to move towards you. Duck (keep pushed Down) and get the curry. It runs out after 155% (155 combos). As it gets close to that number, pick up the next curry and repeat. While doing the second curry, a third curry will disappear; pick it up in the middle. It is possible to get 367 combos on Marth by doing this.
