While he's in the air charge up your B attack to the full extent and if you did everything correct, you'll hit it over 400 metres. getting Yoshi's island.
Miscellaneous:
Lottery:
To have a really good chance to get a new trophy, try to have the chance of a new trophy over 80% by putting more coins in. Later on when getting a new trophy is extremely hard, having a chance over 50% is good.
Alternate Music:
Hold L or R and select a stage in multi-player mode. Keep the button held until the match begins. Note: Only certain stages have new music.
Sound Test:
Beat all 51 Events.
All-Star Mode:
Unlock all bonus fighters to unlock the single player All-Star mode. This mode allows you to fight all game characters, but with less health items.
Pikmin Trophy:
Insert a memory card with a saved game from Pikmin and when the game begins, the trophy will be available or you can use the lottery and it will eventually turn up.
Battle Two Master Hands:
Beat the game once on classic mode with any character and hit over 100 names during the credits. Play the game again with any character on any setting with any number of lives on classic mode and reach the Master Hand stage without continuing. Get the Master hand below 150% before the clock goes down below 4:00 (an easy way to do this is to play a character that has a really good up-smash attack or a good arial attack). A second Master Hand will appear at 300% with more moves than the original. Plus the two hands work together on some techniques.
Fight Metal Mario Brothers:
To do this beat the wire team in the Adventure mode within 45 seconds then prepare for battle.
Stuck at an event and can't get to the next one?
Unlock Events #31-39 - Complete the first 30 events and unlock Jigglypuff, Dr. Mario, Young Link, and Falco.
Unlock Events #40-50 - Unlock all 11 secret characters.
Unlock Event #51 - Complete the first 50 Event levels.
Can't Beat Event 51?:
There is an easy way to beat event 51. Believe it or not use Jigglypuff. What you want to do to get rid of Giga Bowser - jump over him and hit Down and B to do the sleep attack. If this hit and timed correctly (you'll hear the sound just as you'd hear form the Home Run bat), Giga Bowser will fly off the screen. Then for Mewtwo and Ganondorf, I suggest trying to attack them while flying around then fly off again unless you are good with him and you can try killing them.
Borrow a Life:
If you are a playing a team battle, and you are out, you can press start and borrow one of your team mate's lives and get back in the ring (Note: They must have at least 2 stock left for you to do so.)
Ultra Giant Melee:
Here's something fun to do, go to vs. mode and select giant melee from the special melee list, next select your character then go to the item switch menu and turn everything off except super mushroom then start the game. Its cool to play when your an ultra giant.
Ultra Tiny Melee:
Here's something fun to do, go to vs. mode and select tiny melee from the special melee list, next go to the item switch menu and turn everything off except poison mushroom then press start. It's cool to be ultra tiny.
Defeat Fox In 4 Seconds On Adventure Mode:
To defeat in 4 seconds, use Bowser (the skill difficulty doesn't matter). When it says GO, run to the back edge of the plane and wait for fox to get there. When he does, grab him and chuck him off the edge, he won't be able to get back on!!! Do the same for the next level.
Event 50:
First, select Yoshi. Then, when you start quickly keep doing the *Midair A Down* attack which makes Yoshi kick his feet in the air. First do it on the Master Hand (the one to the right). Do not attempt to attack Crazy Hand (the one to the left). Continue to do the Midair A Down until Master Hand is defeated. Now repeat the same thing on crazy hand to beat the event.
Grab Save:
You can use Link's Hook-shot to grab on to the ledge. Press Z to hit the edge of the stage and A to pull yourself up. Note: This also works with Samus Aran.
Giant Vegetables:
Be Peach and get the super mushroom. Then pluck out a vegetable (down and B). Then wait till your regular size again. You'll shrink but the vegetable won't.
How to Earn Coins:
Most matches in Super Smash brothers melee award you between 1 and 20 small coins depending upon the amount of damage you deal and the number of KO's you score during the match. Ten small coins equal one coin.
All-Star Match Schedule:
Some people might want to know the all star match schedule it is Match 1-4 is 1 opponent per match. Match 5-8 is 2 opponents per match. Match 9-12 is 3 opponents per match. Then Match 13 is 1 opponent (Mr. Game and watch x 25).
Help From Friends:
This is a really cool trick, go into vs. melee select Fox or Falco and pick anybody to play as, now on the next screen pick Corneria or Venom then once the match begins, on the D-pad press Left, Right repeatedly until Fox or Falco will crouch down and in moment they will reach into the sky and call for help. You only do this move 1 every match.
Alternate Music:
Hold the L and R buttons at the stage select screen in multiplayer mode to start a stage with an alternate theme. This works in the following stages:
Great Bay
Icicle Mountain
Temple
Yoshi Island
Onett
Pokemon Stadium
Classic Kingdoms 1 & 2
Big Blue
Battlefield
End of the Line
