Character preview

Hold Z and press the Analog-stick at the character biography screen.

Alternate congratulations screen

Music test

Successfully complete Bonus Games 1 and 2 with all characters, including the secret ones. This can be done during Bonus 1 and 2 practice. A music test option will appear on the data screen.

Borrow a life

Begin a team game under versus mode. Press Start if you lose a life to take a life your partner, if he or she has more than one remaining. Alternatively, press A+ B + Z + Start.

Item switch

Play the game in versus mode at least fifty times to unlock the item switch option. Note: For the Japanese version, use any character to record one hundred kills to unlock an item switch menu. This menu allows various weapons to be toggled and control the frequency in which they appear. To get the 'Item switch' option easier, use the following trick with two controllers. Go to multi-player mode and set it on damage 200% and stock 1. Have player one choose Kirby, and any character for player two. Press R to have Kirby grab the player two, then press R. Player two should die. Repeat this until you get the 'Item switch' option.

Quick healing

Go to the Silph Co. stage as any character. When Chansey pops out of the building, run into it as fast as you can. If done correctly, you will get 5 hit points taken away.

Extra points for each level

The following trick may be used to get an extra 100 points in each level. Defeat your opponent in one player mode. Press L to taunt just before he dies. If your character is in a taunt when the camera zooms in for the scores, 100 points will be awarded for the fighter's stance.

Losing points

You will lose points after losing all lives and continues.

Control credits screen

Press one of the following buttons during the credits. Press Analog-stick to change the angle and move the target. Press Start + A to scroll faster, or to return to normal speed. Select a name with the target and press A to view details about their work in the game. Press B to pause or resume the scrolling.

Self-destruct

Hold Z or R (block) until your character explodes.

Sudden Death

Play a time limit battle. Make sure both of the characters have the same amount of lives when the timer runs out.

Easy win

To win almost any battle easily, just make any character go into the air, then jump up and press Up + L to do a powerful kick. This should make your opponent fly up. Repeat until your opponent flies into the horizon.

Alternate hits

If you are hanging, press A, B, R or Z for a normal hit. However, if you have 100 or more damage points your hits will be different. Yoshi and Kirby will do something funny.

Box and barrel attack

Press Forward + A while holding a box or barrel. The item will move faster and farther, and can also be used as a quick attack.

Throwing items

Often when throwing an item (R +D-pad) at an enemy that has at least 60 to 80 damage, it will cause them to go flying and do more damage than normal. Dashing and then throwing the item will be more effective. This is a good way to effectively hurt a person with a fan.

Spin attack

Choose any character in any mode. Use C-Up 1CE or 2CE. Aim your character towards your opponent. While you are in the air directly above your opponent, press Down + B. You should do a spin right into your opponent.

Spike attack

Many characters have a spiking move that guarantees a KO 100% of the time if done correctly. You need to be by the edge of a level and there has to be a player trying to get back on. Many of the players have a 'spike' move that sends opponents straight down and gets them a KO. For most players the spike move is Down + A, but some players such as Donkey Kong have another one by pressing Forward + A. Timing is important here. When you see the player trying to get back, jump out as they near the stage. Donkey Kong's Forward + A move works much easier than the other Down + A moves. Get above them but before they make it over the stage, and do the spike move. If done correctly, the opponent will go straight down and have almost no chance to get back. Make sure you can make it back to a safe location.

Extra boost

When you use the powerful Up + B attack most characters will do an attack that will give them another extra boost. This is most effective after a jump and a double jump. Here is what happens.

Ness: Press Up + B to make him do PK Thunder. However, if you make it turn and hit him, he will get a very powerful boost in any direction. You will not get hurt.
Fox: Press Up + B and he will do a charge for Fire Fox. He can do it in any direction by pressing the Analog-stick when he charges.
Samus: Press Up + B to do a mid-air roll that does damage similar to Mario's Super Jump.
Pikachu: Press Up+B to do Agility. If you press Left or Right immediately after that, you will move twice.
Jigglypuff: Pressing Up + B does not do anything. However, if you jump, punch, float, punch, and continue in that pattern you can go very far distances (but not much in height).
Kirby: Press Up + B to make Kirby do his Final Cutter, making it go slightly higher for a split second. Do this only if you know that a quick, short boost will get you to where you want to go.
Mario: Press Up + B to have Mario do his Super Jump, giving him about as much boost as a regular jump would.
Luigi: Same as Mario.
Yoshi: None.
Captain Falcon: Press Up + B to have him do a spin in mid-air that can easily be controlled.
Donkey Kong: Press Up + B to have him do a helicopter attack that will boost him. This will not boost him if he is on the ground.
Link: Press Up + B and he will do a sword spin attack that boosts him. This will not boost him if he is touching the ground.

Pokemon message

Start a match in the Silph Co. stage. Allow your character to get hit by the Pokeball billboard. Quickly pause game play and move the screen so you can read the pole that holds up the billboard. The message 'gotta catch 'em all' written sideways can be seen.

Captain Falcon: Falcon Punch

To actually see the Falcon Punch, pause game play while he punches. You will be able to see that his punch is in the shape of a falcon.

Captain Falcon: Skeleton

Select Captain Falcon and Fox. Go to the ship and have Captain Falcon get close to Fox. Use Fox's blue shield. When Captain Falcon is flashing, press Start. If done correctly, he will appear as a skeleton.

Captain Falcon: Best combo

Press A repeatedly to punch, punch, knee, then rapidly punch your opponent. If he or she gets out of range, press Down + B to the Falcon Kick. In total, it can do 20% to 50% damage.

Captain Falcon: Extra damage with red shells

Select the Classic Mushroom Kingdom stage in training mode as Captain Falcon with Jigglypuff as your opponent. Het your opponent under the lowest platform on the right side of the stage. Go on that platform and pause game play with three red shells just right of where your opponent is. Put out the last one a bit to the left of the other three. Get to the left of your opponent, almost 'inside' him, and perform Captain Falcon's Uppercut Punch (Analog-stick Up, A). This will send Jigglypuff into the shells while at the same time you will hit the shells with the Uppercut Punch, causing them to move. There will be many of the sounds when a shell hits an opponent, and Jigglypuff's and your damage will go up rapidly to over 200%.

Captain Falcon: NBA jump

Go to one player practice mode. Use Captain Falcon and set the speed on 1/4. On close-up, do one jump forward then use the Up + B attack. If someone is in the way it will not work. If done correctly, it will appear like Captain Falcon is going for a slam dunk.

Donkey Kong: Pokemon punch

When playing as Donkey Kong, choose the Pokemon Silph Co. stage, then press B button to make him wind up for a punch. When the door opens, while the Pokemon is still inside, approach the door, but do not get close enough to force it out. Press B again to throw the punch and the Pokemon will go flying.
This can also be done with the hammer weapon. Approach the door when it opens, but do not let the Pokemon out. Simply walk into the door and the Pokemon should go flying. Note: This trick only works on some Pokemon.

Donkey Kong: Easy win

The following trick works best in vs mode, with two or more stocks. Select Donkey Kong as a character and any level except for Samus' stage. Defeat your opponent once, then get close to the edge when he or she comes after your character. Grab him and press A to place him on your back. Then, jump off the level before he can get loose. Repeat this until you win as you can remain one life ahead of your opponent.
Go to Hyrule Castle. Lure your opponent under the green castle. When your opponent gets there, hold Down + B and until your opponent's % is very high. You can now most likely take them out with one hit.
Begin game play in single player mode as Donkey Kong. When fighting with Metal Mario, press B + Down to slap the ground. Use this technique until he is heavily damaged. In a minute, you should have damaged him up to 999%. You can also blow him up in the sky.

Donkey Kong: Combos

Press Down + B to hit your opponent. Then jump after him and press Up + B to hit him again.

Donkey Kong: Head Spin

Get close to an opponent and press A + Down to do a head spin

Hint: Donkey Kong: Get in the barrel

You can get in the barrel on Donkey Kong's stage by simply jumping towards it. Press A to get out. Note: The barrel sometimes moves around -- be careful when you aim.

Donkey Kong: Move or jump with a barrel

The only way to move or jump with a barrel is with Donkey Kong. When you see a barrel, pick it up and you can move or jump around with it.

Donkey Kong: Quick KO

Play as Donkey Kong. As soon as you see the player you want to defeat, walk up to them and press R. Walk off the edge while still carrying your opponent, and let go when you know he or she will not make it back. You will get a point for knocking off your opponent, and lose a point for falling. Your opponent will just lose a point. Although you will not gain anything, your friend will lose something, thus giving you the advantage. Note: This works best when playing one-on-one.
Select Donkey Kong in versus mode and character as the CPU opponent. Go to the Mushroom Kingdom or Castle stage. At the Mushroom Kingdom stage, knock your opponent left until you are under the large brick that has a green tube on the top of it. Press B + Down to do the Ground Pound. Since there is a brick in the way to stop your opponent flying up, he will bounce back and lay there. Repeatedly press B + Down to get his/her percentage to 999%. At the Castle stage, throw your opponent to the left until he/she is under the small green tower. Keep pressing B + Down to get their percentage to 999%. Note: This can be done easily when in training mode and having the CPU just stand there.

Get to large platform on Donkey Kong's stage

There is a barrel with a white arrow on it. You can use it to shoot yourself up because the floor on the Donkey Kong stage is sort of like a platform. Think of it as a huge platform. You cannot sink under it, but can fly, jump (if possible), or use an Up + B attack to get to the top of it.

Fox: More powerful lasers

Select Fox and a character that uses a projectile as a weapon. Have Fox use his Deflect move (Down + B) and have the other character shoot Fox. He will deflect and the shot will do about twice as much damage. If a match is played with two Foxes and on a level plane such as that found on Hyrule Castle or The Great Fox stages, both can use the deflect trick. The laser will deflect back and forth, and eventually grow so powerful that it will destroy one of the Fox's deflection shield. If a green turtle shell deflects back and forth, pick up the same shell after it destroys one of the deflection shields. Throw it at an opponent to see a big explosion. The targeted character will fly into the wall in a split second. You can use it as much needed until it disappears.

Fox: Powerful bumpers

Begin a match on the Mushroom Kingdom stage with Fox and a lot of bumpers. Bring them right next to the tube on the left. Have Fox throw a bumper upwards and turn on his reflector. When it comes down, it will continuously attack his reflector, break it, and bounce up. When it comes down, you will see a large explosion about five to seven times, with each hit doing over 100%. This works best in practice mode. It will not work if more than one bumper is used.

Fox: Green shell charge-up

Fox's reflector shield gives double damage to anything that can be reflected back, but when the green shell gets reflected and then does not vaporize, the power stays doubled.

Fox: Superman pose

Play as Fox, jump, and do the corkscrew move. Pause game play during the move. If done correctly, Fox will have a pose similar to Superman when he is flying.

Fox: Spin Flip

Play as Fox and hold onto a ledge. Press Z and rapidly pause and resume the game. Fox will do a back flip and a twist in one motion if timed correctly.

Fox: Unlimited Reflect move

Press Down + B to do the Reflect move and hold it.

Fox: Surprise attack

Note: This trick works best when when playing with three or four players. Go to Congo Jungle. When no one is watching, fall off the edge. Use your double jump to get under the stage, then press Up + B and move the Analog-stick in the direction of any opponent on the bottom floor of the stage. If done correctly, Fox will fly up through the stage and hit your opponent without them knowing.

Fox: Defeating Master Hand

Use the Reflector to deflect the shots that Master Hand fires at you. Note: Do not use this tactic for his poking attack.

Fox: Lethal kill

When playing as Fox in versus mode with a setting of 200% damage, approach any opponent. If stuck next to him, press B + Down. Fox will use Reflect. In the instance, the opponent touches the Reflector and is blown away. If lucky he will be kicked out of the stage. Note: Reflect attack is only valid within about half a second. For example, if Reflect is used when an opponent runs, if the opponent reaches Fox within a second he will be blown away. However, this will not happen if an opponent touches you if you are using reflect.

Fox: Avoid falling off

Do not use the Firefox sideways if you are near an edge. You might fall off and have no way to get back up.

Fox: Separated head

When performing Fox's Backwards Throw on another Fox, it appears that the thrown Fox's head is not on his shoulders.

Jigglypuff: Combos

When playing as Jigglypuff, press Up + B to put your opponent to sleep. Then, get very close to your opponent, and press Down + B to put yourself to sleep. Your opponent will go flying, and Jigglypuff will remain asleep.Use Jigglypuff and weaken the target opponent to at least 50%. Then, walk up next to your opponent and use the B + Down attack. This should make Jigglypuff fall asleep and send your opponent flying. Keep in mind that you have to be directly behind you enemy, as if you are trying to run pass him. This should sound like you just did a power attack with the homerun bat.
Press Up + A, then as your opponent is descending press Up + A to hit him again. Stay under him and repeat until he is defeated.
Jump in the air, then press Down + A to spin attack your opponent. When they hit the ground, press Down + B move to send them spiraling into the air.
Press Down + A to do an aerial attack. When your opponent hits the ground, quickly press Up + A. This should send your opponent in to the sky (if at 50%). Another way is to do a Down + A aerial attack, then when your opponent hits the ground, quickly press Down + B if you are touching your opponent.

Jigglypuff: Suicidal

Note: This trick requires a lot of patience. Start a vs. mode game with 99 stock with you vs. the a CPU-controlled Jigglypuff. Fight in the Mushroom Kingdom secret stage. Use a lot of weapons during the match. When Jigglypuff's life is down to near 20, she will begin to kill herself by walking straight off the stage. She will do this about five to ten times -- it is interesting to watch because after she walks off a few times she will begin to break her own shield by holding it in very long. Let her to do so and she will damage and stun herself, allowing you to take advantage.

Jigglypuff: Defeating him

Use the following trick to kill for Jigglypuff easily. When Jigglypuff blocks, use a super hit on him and it be a K.O.

Jigglypuff: Go long distances

Use a jump then a punch (Up, B) repeatedly to travel far.

Jigglypuff with large arm

Press Start to pause game play just when you punch. If timed correctly, Jigglypuff's right arm will appear several times its normal size.

Jigglypuff is upside down

Select Jigglypuff as your character and any other character as your enemy. This works best in two player mode. Use your backwards toss on your opponent and immediately press Start to pause game play. It will appear that Jigglypuff is upside down.

Jigglypuff doing a ballerina dance

Select versus mode and choose Jigglypuff as your character with any other players. When you begin the match, toss an opponent then pause game play. If done correctly, it will appear as though Jigglypuff is doing a ballerina dance.

Jigglypuff: Hear opponent snore

Do the sleep attack, then pause game play to hear your opponent snore.

Kirby: Invincibility move

When fighting as Kirby in the Sliph Co. stage, press B + Analog-stick Down when a Pokemon comes out of the building. Kirby will become a block and the fire, ram, and leaves will not harm him.

Kirby: Lose a power

If you want to intentionally lose a power gained after eating another character as Kirby, press L to execute his taunt.

Kirby: Spit Shot

Play as Kirby and press B to swallow an enemy. Press A and Kirby will spit the enemy as a star. On single player or multi-player mode, use Kirby as your character. Suck the enemy in then, then press R to spit him out. It will do as much damage as a normal throw. This move is very effective if you spit the enemy out at his team member (if he or she has one).

Kirby: Jump longer

If you get hit badly, press Forward + A to jump longer.

Kirby: Combos

Press Up + A, then as your opponent is descending press Up + A to hit him again. Stay under him and repeat until he is defeated. Get very close to your enemy then repeatedly press A.

Kirby: Triple sword attack

When your opponent is directly in front of you, use Kirby's Final Cutter (Up + B). You will hit your opponent once as you go up, twice as you come back down, and a third time with the Sword Wave.

Kirby: Easy win

When in the Pokemon stage with Kirby, stand on the tower closest to the right near the left edge. Keep jumping up in the air so you are up often. When someone gets near, use Kirby's Final Cutter. If done correctly, this should slash your enemy into the bottom of the screen, knocking them out no matter how much damage they had.

Kirby: Large arm

Press Start to pause game play just when you punch. If timed correctly, Kirby's right arm will appear several times its normal size.

Kirby: Gain ability

While playing as Kirby in single player mode, suck in another Kirby the Kirby team. That Kirby will lose its ability, and you will gain it.

Kirby: Kirby's Final Cutter's spike maneuver

When coming back down, the Cutter move may spike an enemy off the edge.

Kirby: Hammer

This is another way to defeat an enemy with a hammer: Use Kirby's Stone attack. However, if you miss, you may be hit with the hammer.

Kirby: Dancing

Press Analog-Stick Left and Right successively. Kirby will appear to dance back and forth.

Kirby: Funny eyes

If Kirby is electrocuted, pause the game quickly. Kirby's eyes will look funny.

Kirby: Saying Falcon Punch

Enter training mode and play as Kirby against Capt. Falcon. Absorb Falcon's power, and go to a close-up view. Have Kirby do a Falcon Punch. You will actually be able to see Kirby saying 'Falcon Punch!'

Kirby: Huge explosion

Start a match with Kirby and Samus. Select Bombomb under weapons until there are no more. Suck in Samus, then charge up your beam and shoot it at the bombs.
Go to training mode,and select Bombomb under weapons. Get as many as you can. After that, use Kirby's 'Stone Attack' on them, close to an opponent. They should go flying.

Moves	Abilities

Final Cutter (Up + B)	Cutter
German Suplex (Grab and Back)	Suplex
Inhale (B)	Copy
Spin Kick (A + Tap)	Fighter

Vulcan Punch (A repeatedly)	Fighter

Kirby: Wheel ability appearance

When Kirby absorbs Ness' power, he looks like he does with the Wheel ability in Kirby Superstar.

Kirby: Easy win on Yoshi stage

Play a versus mode game as Kirby with another human player. Get the other player to follow you to the cloud on the far right side. Stay in the air until the other player gets over there, then eat him. Wait for the cloud to disappear then spit him out and fly to the other cloud next to the stage. This can also work with Yoshi if you turn him into an egg and jump as far as you can to the left.

Kirby: Defeating Master Hand

Turn into a stone every time the Master Hand attacks and it will not damage you. Note: This may not work with the Hand's 'Drill' move.

Link: Combos

Press Up + A to hit your opponent. Then, jump up after him and press Up + B to hit him again.

Link: 400% or more damage

Select Link as a character in training mode. When you are on the bottom floor (that you start out on) press Start and choose four red shells. Th row Link's bomb (press Down, B) at them and then let them hit you. You should show 400% or more damage, but the effect is random.

Link: Pogo bounce

In any stage, have Link jump up once or twice, do his A + Down move, and land on any character. He will bounce around. Note: He will only bounce once.

Special bonus in Link's stage

For a special bonus, defeat Link using a tornado at Hyrule Castle.

Trap Link

Select any character and choose Link as a CPU opponent. This trick works best if Link is on a team with someone. Choose the Sector Z stadium. At the start of the level, run to the far right side of the ship, past the big fin. Lure Link down there with you. Once he hits the ground, jump back up and stay on the upper part of the ship. Link will be stuck down there as long as he does not die and you or any teammate you have does not get close enough for him to try the spin attack. You can now fight Link's team member one-on-one.

Luigi: Taunt attack

Luigi is unique because, he is the only character whose taunt hurts. It may not hurt much, but when he kicks his foot on the ground, if there is an opponent in the way, they will get kicked for various reasons.

Luigi: Super attack

Although Luigi's super jump attack only does 1% damage normally, the following trick will increase that amount. Get very close to an opponent and perform the move. If done correctly, a loud noise and fire will appear, doing about 20% damage. If your opponent is at about 65% damage it may even kill them.
When the fight starts, run towards your opponent and press A. This will result in about 7 damage. Use any attacks to get your opponent to about 50 damage. Then, use the Up + A smash attack. This will knock them in the air. Follow them, but move slightly below them. Use the Up + A flip kick to knock them higher several times. As they are coming down, use your tornado spin and use the hovering technique. When they land, use the Down + A smash attack. Once they are back on their feet, finish them off with the Up + B attack.

Luigi: Suicidal red shell coin explosion

Go to training mode as Luigi. Select Hyrule Castle and put your opponent on the top ledge with four red shells to his right. Go to the middle ledge and press B + Up to attack your opponent and the shells. You will freeze, and both of you will get 700+ damage and fly in opposite directions.

Luigi: 999% coin buster

This is Luigi's equivalent to Mario's 999% spin with four green shells. Go to training mode as Luigi. Select a small opponent, such as Pikachu. Go to Hyrule Castle. Position your opponent on top ledge of the three ledges in the middle of the castle. Position him in the middle on the top. To the right of him, place four green shells. Make sure they are right next to him. Go down to the middle ledge. Position yourself on the left side of the ledge. Use Luigi's B + Up move. If you hit the green shells correctly, Luigi and the opponent will freeze. The opponent's damage will go up very fast to 999%. While doing that, coins should be launching upwards in two lines -- one of the lines pulsing, the other being constant. Soon after reaching 999%, the green shells will disappear, and the opponent will fall as if you used the attack normally.

Mario: Ninja

While a player is on the floor have Mario get next to him or her. Jump backwards and quickly pause game play. If done correctly, Mario will look like a Ninja that beat up the person on the floor.

Mario: On fire while melting

Start on the first stage with Mario and Link in two player mode. Have Link throw a bomb at you. Walk in to it and quickly pause game play. If done correctly, it will appear as if Mario's legs melted into the ground while his head is on fire. Additionally, if you pause the game just when he does a backflip to get upright after he is upside down, it will appear as if a baby Mario is standing on his head.

Mario: Ultimate move

This move can give your opponent 999% damage and 99 hits if done correctly. In training mode, select Mario and any opponent, however Donkey Kong is easier to hit. Go to any stage and get close to your opponent. Put four green shells right between Mario and your opponent. Then, press B + Down to execute the move. If done correctly, Mario and the victim will freeze, while the victim keeps getting hit until the shells wear off.Enter training mode as Mario. This must be done on a flat surface. Stand next to your opponent. Press Start and find green shells under weapons. Activate as many as the game allows. Without moving, use the B + Down attack (Mario Tornado). The game will freeze for a minute. After the pause, your opponent should have a 999% damage count.

Mario: Cannonball

Have Mario do a double back flip and pause game play. If done at the right moment, it will appear as if Mario is doing a cannon ball.

Ness: Deflection

Ness can deflect with his bat (Left or Right + A). He can deflect Samus' ultimate shot, Mario and Luigi's fire ball, even a Ray Gun shot (difficult to accomplish, but not impossible). It may be helpful good to start with easy shots such as Mario's fireball to practice before trying to deflect Fox's shot. It may not be possible to deflect Link's boomerang. The homerun bat will not deflect.

Ness: Unlimited Regain move

Press Down + B to do the Regain move and hold it.

Ness: PK Thunder at self

With Ness, fire the PK Thunder at yourself. If you hit another character, it will send them flying.

Ness: Using and controlling PK Thunder boost

Ness: Disco dance

Begin game play as Ness, toss someone, then press Start. Ness will look like he is doing a disco dance.Knock an opponent off the arena and when they try to come back, jump once towards them, then press Down + A. If your opponent's percent is high enough, you should hit him/her for an instant kill.

Ness: Spike Attack

Play as Ness in any mode. If your opponent is hanging on an edge, use PK Thunder (Up + B) and hit your opponent. This will cause your opponent to lose grip and fall.

Ness: Easy kill

Play as Ness in any mode. Use the R attack to throw your opponent, then use PK Thunder (Up + B) and hit your opponent. He or she will be disabled and fall.

Ness: Regain energy

Start a game as Ness. If someone tires to shoot you, press Down + B. When the bullet hits, Ness will regain some energy.

Ness: Flips you off

Choose versus mode and select Ness as one of the fighters. Complete the R move, and immediately after you release, press Start. If timed correctly, it will appear that Ness is giving you the finger.

Ness: Crying

Play as Ness, and allow any enemy to hit you then press Start. If timed correctly, it will appear that he is crying.

Ness: Skeleton

Start a two player vs. game with Pikachu vs. Ness. During the game, have Pikachu use its electric attack (where a bolt hops across the platform) and hit Ness. Pause game play immediately when it hits Ness. If done correctly, Ness will appear as a skeleton.

Ness: Long jumps

When hit badly as Ness, use your jump, followed by PK Thunder. Make it hit you on the side that is away the ground. Ness will go flying to the ground.

Ness: No string on yo-yo

Start a game as Ness on any stage. Press Down + B, then press Start. You will see that Ness has no string on his yo-yo.

Ness: Hidden character on yo-yo

Ness: Fake death

Use PK Thunder and hit yourself above. Pause game play and it will look like someone killed Ness.

Ness: Return fireball

Play as Ness and when Mario shots his fire ball at you, use Ness' Bat (Forward + A) to hit it back. Note: It does not work at close range.

Pikachu: Jump higher

After having only one platform left with Pikachu, use his quick attack jump to get higher. Then before it is done, quickly press Analog-stick Left to get below the last platform.

Pikachu: Fifth jump

When you have been hurt and are pushed off screen, move in the direction of the jump. When you are ready, press Jump, wait, then jump. Then do his spinning attack a couple of times until you get close to the edge of the stage. Next do his third jump, and hold the Analog-stick diagonally in the direction of the jump. If done correctly, Pikachu will do two third jumps instead of one. Note: This may be very hard to accomplish at first but can be very useful when done correctly.

Pikachu: Easy battle at Yoshi's stage

Keep using Thunder constantly.

Pikachu: Appear flat

Use PK agility (fifth jump), and pause game play while Pikachu is in the air. If timed correctly, Pikachu will appear flat.

Defeating Pikachu

An easy way to defeat Pikachu in one player mode is to just keep jumping around the right-hand side. Eventually Pikachu will use Quick Attack and jump off the edge.

Samus: No suit

Select versus mode and choose Samus as your only opponent. This trick is easier if Samus is set as a human controlled player, so she stands still. Next, go to any place (preferably the ship) and fire the PK Thunder at yourself, so Ness slides into Samus. Pause game play right as Ness hits her. If done correctly, Samus will no longer be wearing her suit.
Select versus mode with two players and choose Samus as the second character. Start fighting and wait for the blaster to appear. Grab it and shoot Samus. Have player two pause shortly after hitting Samus. If timed correctly, Samus will appear without her suit. Note: This can be done to any other character to see their skeletons.
Unlock Ness, then select the versus mode. Choose Samus as your only opponent (human). While playing as Ness during the match, attack yourself with a PK Thunder when standing next to Samus. This will cause Ness to slide into Samus. Pause game play during the impact using Samus' controller. If done correctly, Samus will appear without her suit.Any attack/weapon that electrocutes Samus, such as Pikachu's Electric Bolt, will remove her suit.

Samus: Super Smash Attack

Press Down + A, when playing as Samus to send your opponent straight down.

Samus: Charge Ball and Grab

When on level ground and facing any opponent except for Fox or Ness, fire a Charge Ball at the opponent. Immediately press R to throw them if they block. Either way, you will win.

Samus: Combo trick

Use the Super Smash Attack while they are on the ground at a low percent, then press Up + A to do a flame-thrower attack, or just use a screw attack. If you use the flame-thrower, you can jump and add a backwards kick or any other mid-air attack.

Samus: Keep charging shot

If you charging up a big shot and your opponent approaches, press Analog-stick Left or Analog-stick Right to roll away. Turn back to normal after you get away, so you can finish charging the shot.

Samus: Easy win

Select Samus and go to a wide open-spaced level such as Link's castle. When someone goes flying and are trying to get back, fly out to them with only one jump so you can get back. When you fly out to them, use her down kick and they should go straight down and die. Keep repeating this to get a lot of points. Note: You can use this move even when your opponent is not flying through the air. Just down kick them, and before they hit the ground, jump so that when they land you will not get hit by them. Keep repeating this after they get up.

Samus: Bonus practice level 2

When going to the platform protected by two bumpers, do not keep getting hit to get through. Charge up your blaster. Stop half way. Go down, and press Left. You will roll under the bumpers.
The last platform seems impossible to reach. However, if you press Analog-stick Up, C-Up and then turn around, shoot a energy ball, then do a midair flip (B + Up), you can reach the platform.

Yoshi: Combos

Press Up + B to hit your opponent. When he lands the fall, press A to run into him.Yoshi's Million Kicks (Jump + Down + A) is weak, but there is a way to make it the most powerful attack in the game. When your opponent jumps at you, jump with him, but just a little higher. Then, press A to execute the Million Kicks. If you hold A, the attack can do up to 56% damage.
Begin game play in versus mode as Yoshi in Sector Z. Move all the way to the left tip and face to the right. When your opponent approaches, press B to put him in an egg. Since the egg always goes behind Yoshi, the player will fall down in an egg and it will be useless to try to escape. Note: This can also be done with some other levels.

Yoshi: Defeating Master Hand

When Master Hand is done with a attack and approaches you, jump and press Down + A. Yoshi will do a speed kick which will take out about 30 %. Repeat this and he will eventually be defeated.

Yoshi: Old age

Play versus mode as Yoshi and start a fight with a human controlled player. Press B to use Yoshi's 'Eat' attack. Pause the game at the right moment to see Yoshi with a beard, and his eyes rolled back into his head.

Yoshi: Big head

Press R to swallow an opponent, then spit him out in the opposite direction. Pause game play just before you spit him out and Yoshi should have a big head.

Yoshi: Egg of a cliff

When playing as Yoshi, go to the edge of a cliff. Press B when a human-controlled player approaches to put him in an egg and send him off the cliff.

Yoshi: Egg attack

Use the B attack and your opponent will be turned into an egg. While an egg, they will still take normal damage. Note: This works best if you use smash attacks while they are an egg.

Yoshi: Push opponent off end

Play as Yoshi in any mode. Use your B attack at the very edge of a level, and your opponent will turn into a egg. Walk very slowly and you will push they egg off the ledge. This must be done immediately, or your opponent will get out of the egg.

Yoshi: Egg roll

Use Yoshi's shield and you can move left or right to do an egg roll.

Easy win in Yoshi's stage

Set the game on versus mode with you against a CPU player. Jump on the floating clouds and use the raygun item. The CPU players cannot go on the floating clouds. Just keep shooting them to win.

Rope walking in Yoshi's stage

Press Start and press Analog-stick Down to make a character appear as if he/she is walking a rope when on top.

Defeating Master Hand

Use anyone with a quick long range attack to hit Master Hand while it pauses between each attack, and jump over his attacks. Fox works the best.

Defeating the teams

An easy way to defeat the teams (Yoshi's, Kirby's, Fighting Polygon) is to simply grab and throw them.Use Ness's PK Thunder to defeat the Yoshi or the Polygon Team easily. It will send them flying.
The easiest way to defeat any of the teams (Yoshi, Kirby, or Fighting Polygon) with Mario is to use his Tornado attack. This will also work with Luigi.
This strategy works well against Yoshi's, Kirby's, or Fighting Polygon teams. Select one player mode and choose Fox any difficulty and any amount of lives. Aim Fox at your opponent, it is best to wait until you get all two or three in one place, and press C-Up + B. This should make your opponents die by a star ending, or make them fly into the back ground. Sometimes this puts them in front of you.

Hover higher as Luigi or Mario

Repeatedly press B during Luigi or Mario's Down + B attack to hover slightly higher.

Mario, Luigi, and Kirby's fourth jump

While doing the spin attack (Down + B) with Mario or Luigi, rapidly press B to hover. You can use this move as a fourth jump. However, this move is only good for getting farther not higher. Luigi goes higher than Mario with that hovering spin tactic. Use this tactic before the third jump (Up + B). Kirby has a kind of fourth jump. Suck up Jigglypuff's power so you can use its puff attack. Using the puff attack makes you hover in the air for a second. This can be used to your advantage. Like the spin tactic for Mario and Luigi, this move is good for getting farther not higher.

Mario and Luigi Tornado

If you are teaming with Mario and Luigi, let Mario first do the Mario tornado on an opponent. Then do the Luigi tornado with Luigi. When both tornado's are finished, Luigi will knock the enemy farther because his punches in his tornado hurts more than Mario's punches.

Easy damage

Use Caption Falcon, Pickachu, Kirby, or Fox in versus or training mode. Pin your opponent against a wall or any object going up. You can pin them to it and use the A attack. If you an keep punch or kick going it, will result in lots of damage.

Easy knockouts in multi-player mode

The following moves require 200% Damage (set in the multi-player options). Useful items include: Hammer, Pokeball, Beam Sword, and anything you can throw that will result in heavy damage. Here are variations of characters to use and how to get easy knockouts:

Captain Falcon: Use either Falcon Punch (B) or a forward throw. The forward throw is preferable.
Donkey Kong: His B punch is useful, as well as throwing your opponent backwards. If you are lucky, also use the Hand Slap (Down + B).
Ness: Not altogether effective, but on small arenas (such as Donkey Kong's Jungle), use his PK Thunder (Up + B). You have to hit yourself so that you run into another opponent.
Luigi: His Tornado (Down + B) is highly effective, as is his Super Jump Punch (Up +B) when done correctly, doing 19-25 damage.
Mario: For some weak opponents (especially Jigglypuff), one good Super Jump Punch (Up + B) does the trick. But, if you are very high in the air, even tough characters can be careened into the background. Also use his Cyclone (Down + B) if you are lucky.
Jigglypuff: Her forward and backward throw can work wonders.
Kirby: Since he can imitate other characters, he has an advantage. By himself, the Stone (Down + B) and forward and backward throw are good. If done right, also use his Final Cutter (Up + B).
Fox: His Reflector is effective.
Pikachu: If you can get close enough, his Thunder (Down + B) is devastating; or just keep doing it when the opponent is in the air above you.
On multi-player mode, enter team battle and have Pikachu and Donkey Kong on the same team as human players. Use Donkey Kong's throw move, but instead of throwing your opponent hold onto him/her. Then, get Pikachu to use Thunder (Down + B). This will cause quite a lot of damage to the opponent without them being able to do anything. Do this repeatedly for an easy win.

Ultimate K.O

Start a multi-player game with Fox and Pikachu. Corner an opponent between those players and do a back flip kick simutaneously. If done correctly, your opponent should fly into the background.

Background kill

Play as any character. Jump above your opponent and press Down + A to put them in the air. Then, press Up + A when your opponent comes down. Keep pressing Up + A until he or she goes into the background/foreground.

Pinball effect

In training mode, go to a big level, such as Hyrule Castle or Sector Z. Select four green shells far apart each other. Pick up the one farthest your opponent, and throw it. If done correctly, the shells will hit each other and the one farthest you will hit your opponent at high speed.

Silph Co. stage secrets

Begin game play as Captain Falcon on the Silph Co. stage. When Chansey, Charmander or others pop out the door, use the Falcon Punch to knock them spiraling away.
Running towards Chansey when it comes out of the elevator will result in your strength to go down by 5%.

Mew in Pokeballs

Unlock at least one secret characters to have Mew appear randomly in the Pokeballs.
To have Mew appear more frequently, unlock at least one of the secret characters, play versus mode, and use the item switch. Switch to only Pokeballs and play in the Sector Z stage. Note: Mew or Clefairy doing Mew's attack does not cause any damage.

Flying Chancy

Play on the Sliph Co, stage and get a hammer . When the door opens and Chancy appears, hit to send it flying out the door.

Tubes in Mushroom Kingdom

Jump on a tube in the Mushroom Kingdom stage and press Analog-stick Down. Note: You might land in the tube in the hole in the middle.

Easy win

Throw your opponent off in one player, free-for-all, team mode, or two player mode. Attack your opponent after the second jump that they make.

Homerun bat

For an easy kill, get the Homerun bat, quickly do a smash attack, and press A to send your opponent flying of the screen.
You can hit a homerun by presing B + Analog-stick Forward. The bat will charge up for a second (your character should flash yellow) before sending your opponent flying off the screen. Note: This does not work on Metal Mario in single player mode.

Big ray gun

Go to the item switch screen and set it it so that only ray guns will appear. Select two characters. Have one character get a ray gun. When you see a box, have the character with the gun stand close and shoot it. While the character with the gun shoots the box, have the other character attack the character with the gun. Have the player controlling the character with the gun pause the game. If done correctly, the ray gun should be big.

Defeating someone who has the hammer

Throw a projectile, bomb, or mine which will either slow the person with the hammer down, or blow them off a cliff or the screen.
An easy way to not be bothered by a player that has the hammer is to use Kirby against them. Immediately after they grab the hammer, suck the person in to normally take their power. This will sometimes allow the hammer to run out without anyone getting slammed.
When the hammer is behind your opponent, if you are quick enough you can grab the person and throw them off the edge.After you die, you will be on a cloud. Get off and quickly grab whoever has the hammer. You will be invincible for a short amount of time when flashing after getting off the cloud. Samus' Charge Blaster will do the job if aimed correctly.

Restore shield

When your shield is shrinking, move around with it and it will grow back to normal size. The more you move around, the more your shield will grow.

Temporary invincibility

When you are in the cloud platform after losing a life, come down and you will have a brief moment of invincibility. This is a good time to use your smash attack.

Keeping your opponent off the platforms

Use the following moves when playing as the indicated character to knock your opponent off the platforms.Mario and Luigi - Press B to throw a fireball when they try to come back.

Ness - Press B for the PK Fire if they come near your character in the air. Your opponent will be pulled down and paralyzed once it hits.
Yoshi - If you are near the end of the platform, wait for your opponent to approach. Then, press B to turn them into an egg. If you are close enough to the edge, the egg will make them fall and they will not be able to get back up. Donkey Kong - After knocking an opponent off, press B to charge up the punch. Use the punch when they are close enough while in the air.
Kirby - Press Up + B near the edge when your opponent approaches.
Link - Press B to throw the boomerang after knocking them off the platform and they try to get close again. Fox - Press B to keep firing the blaster.
Samus - Press B to charge up the gun, then shoot it when a knocked off opponent returns.
Pikachu - Jump and press B to shoot a little ball of electricity. If it hits a returning opponent, they will be paralyzed.
Captain Falcon - Press B to use the Falcon Punch when your opponent tries to return.
Jigglypuff - Press B to use the lunging punch when a returning opponent is close enough.

Getting back in the game

Repeatedly tap Z while knocked through the air until your character reaches the ground. This will allow your character to quickly begin fighting again.

Use secret jumps to recover bad hits

The following trick works if you are using a character that has a third jump. If you are hit badly and fly off the screen, execute the first jump and wait approximately two seconds. Then, do the second part of the double jump. Do a move (such as Pikachu's Side Spinning Attack), then do the third jump. This requires good timing, and works most of the time.

Toggle free for all and team modes

You can toggle free for all and team type play in versus mode. Move the hand pointer to the top left corner and press A on team battle or free for all.

Change CPU color in free for all or training modes

After selecting a character, go to the character the CPU player is playing, which is marked with a gray chip with 'CP'. Move the hand pointer over the character and press one of the C buttons.

Regain energy in Silph Co. stage

Touch Chansey when it appears to regain a small amount of energy.

Home Run Derby

Note: You must have item switch bonus unlocked. Go to item switch menu and set the appearance level to 'Very High'. Turn everything off except 'Home Run Bat'. Select Kirby or Jigglypuff for your character and Jiggypuff or Kirby for the CPU. Make four different teams. Make sure the game is set for free-for-all and infinite time. Select any stage. The game will begin with four characters that look alike and a lot of Home Run Bats.

Kamikaze challenge

Get a total of four human players and have everyone either get DK teams or not. Use the carry on back move (throw then A) and jump off the edge as much as possible. The player with the lowest score is the Kamakazi champ.

Star Wars challenge

Select two characters in versus mode. Set the time to be unlimited and only choose beam swords as weapons. Set the characters to have three lives each. Then, you may attack your opponent even if they drop their beam sword.

Funny sounds sequence

Unlock the music test option. Set the music to '6' and sound to '3', then enter the following pattern.
Music '6'
Voice '105'
Voice '104'
Voice '103' multiple times
Voice '106'
Sound '3'

Bonus Practice #1, Break The Targets:

When playing as Yoshi, to get the target on the far right, use the Mega Headbutt (Left or Right + A) next to the side of the target hill.
When breaking the target in the upper left of the screen, stand under it and press Analog-stick Down + B to take out a bomb. Then press C-Up(2) and when you are at the peak of your jump, press Analog-stick Up + A. If done correctly, the bomb should hit the target.
To break the targets as Link, you have to get up to the hovering platform over all the way to the left. Throw a boomerang, and before it returns, press C-Up(2), Analog-stick Up, to get below the target. If done correctly, the boomerang will hit the last target.
In the break the targets mode, many players think it is very hard to hit the very high target on the top-left of the screen. You can break it easily by using the following steps: Press Down + B to bring out a bomb. Double jump directly under the target and press Up + R to throw the bomb high in the air and destroy the target.

Bonus Practice #2, Board The Platforms

Use the following strategy when playing as Jigglypuff/Purin on the last platform. Since Jigglypuff does not have an extra jump (Up + B), run and jump the edge then press B. Repeat this until reaching the platform. Pace your jumps so he can go farther. Practice this on the 'walk on water platform'.
