Hint: Barrel Cannon trophy message:
Look at the bottom of the Barrel Cannon trophy. You will see the message "2L84ME" (too late for me).

Hint: Game series trophies:
You have a better chance of getting a Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion, and Super Monkey Ball trophy by saving those games on the same memory card used for Super Smash Bros. Melee. However, you can still get them if they are not present.

Hint: Alternate trophy background:
Zoom in on a trophy, then press Start to change the background.

Hint: Daisy costume:
When playing as Peach, press X or Y to change your costume. One of the costumes is that of Luigi's girlfriend, Daisy.

Hint: Nana costume:
Choose Ice Climbers and press X or Y at the character selection screen until Nana (the one with the mouth open) is in front of Popo (the one with the mouth closed). If Popo is hit too far, Nana will still be left (no lives will be taken away). If Nana is hit too far, Popo is unable to move and they will both lose (one life is lost).

Hint: Wario costume:
When playing as Mario, press X or Y to change your costume until it matches Wario.

Hint: Fight against Master Hand and Crazy Hand:
Complete classic mode in less than fifteen minutes without using any continues under a normal or higher difficulty setting. You will battle both Master Hand and Crazy Hand at the end.

Hint: Celebi Pokeball:
Once Celebi is unlocked, there is a 1-in-251 chance of Celebi appearing from a Pokeball.

Hint: Mew Pokeball:
Once the 11 hidden characters have been unlocked, there is a 1-in-251 chance of Mew appearing from a Pokeball.

Hint: Yoshi Island stage preview:
Zoom in closely on the Metal Mario trophy. You can see what vaguely looks like a picture of the Yoshi's Island stage.

Hint: Nintendo game systems:
Go to the trophy section to see most of the Nintendo game systems. Go to collection and zoom in on the background to the right of the television.

Hint: Star Fox mini-game:
Finish a one player game in classic or adventure mode. You will then enter a Star Fox-like mini game with names as targets. Shoot them to see more information about them. At the end, you will see how many hits you made. Hits made while the screen is stopped do not count.

Hint: Completing event mode #13:
To easily complete event mode #13, pick up the egg and repeatedly jump back and forth over the stage.

While on the boat, just stay away from the egg. Do not worry if you are on the edge, as you have unlimited lives. Once the ship crashes, get the egg and run up the platforms, avoiding the enemies.

Hint: Completing event mode #34 (Seven Years):
Go to the left edge of the rock at the left of the stage while Link is at the other side. Wait for Link to jump above. When he down slashes at you, let him hit you and he will bounce off the rock, making him jump off the stage. Repeat until this event is completed.

Hint: Adventure mode: Avoid fighting Link:
During adventure mode, there is a level in which you must find the Triforce to end the level. If you encounter Link's Sword though, you must fight Link to proceed. If timed correctly, you can jump over the sword and not have to fight Link. You must jump very high and far if you do not want to encounter him. This can save a lot of time.

Hint: Completing 15 Minute Melee:
Start the game as Donkey Kong. Position yourself under the platform on the left or right side of the screen and begin doing his Down + B move to slap the ground. Do this as long as you can. Watch out for bombs, Pokemon, or any other hazards that might break through this great move.

Hint: Completing 100 Man Melee:
Play as Donkey Kong. Stay in the center of the stage, and repeatedly do his Down + B move. After defeating all of the wire opponents, you will face Falco. Defeat him and he will become a playable character. Use the following trick to avoid getting hit once with 250% damage and flying off into the distance. Select Fox and use his Left + B or Right + B Warp Attack repeatedly. You can avoid damage and the recover time on this move is almost non-existent.

Hint: Completing Multi-Man Melee:
As Marth or Roy, stay in a corner close to edge, but not on the edge. Continue doing their B move repeatedly. If positioned correctly, this will work most of the time, but some opponents will still get through

Play as Ganondorf or Captain Falcon. Do the Down + B move back and forth across the stage.

Hint: Completing Race To The Finish:
Take the middle path, as it is easiest. Take the bottom one if you have Kirby or Jigglypuff. Taking the top path is very difficult.

Hint: Completing Break The Targets:
When playing as Young Link, the target in the in the box can be hit with a boomerang. To do so, time the log that is to the right of the box (the one that moves up and down) so that you are at your highest jump just when the log is up. Then, do he boomerang attack to hit the log when it is up. You may want to hold it down very briefly. The boomerang should bounce back, go through the box and hit the target. This may require a few attempts.

Hint: Completing Mario 128 event:
Select Donkey Kong, and position yourself in the middle of the stage. Hold Analog-stick Down and rapidly press B. When the Marios approach you, they will be blasted away. Alternately, use Bowser and do his Up + B attack repeatedly.

Hint: Completing Puffballs Unite event:
Select Donkey Kong, and position yourself in the middle of the stage. Hold Analog-stick Down and rapidly press B. When the Kirbys approach you, they will be blasted away.

Hint: Homeruns:
To hit a long homerun as Yoshi, grab the bat as soon as you can start. Turn around and walk up close to the bag. Tap Jump as lightly as possible so Yoshi jumps no more then the size of the bag, then quickly tap Down + A to make him do his downward multi-kick. You will notice the multi-kick will bump the bag's percentage up 30+. Keep doing the multi-kick until the countdown is at one, then blast him with the bat. It is possible to get over 1700+ feet with this trick.

Select Yoshi and press Start. As soon as the timer starts, turn around and grab the bat. Head for the Sandbag and lightly jump. Press Down + A to rapidly kick, This should do about 33% of damage each. Get your damage percentage to about 130% to 50% then stop before the timer runs out. Press slightly to the right for extra power, and then press Smash + A to hit the ball over 1500 feet.

Select Yoshi and after the round starts, immediately grab the bat, walk up to the bag, and jump directly above it. As you descend, attack the bag with Yoshi's Bicycle Kick (Down + A). At the last second, perform a Homerun Smash with the bat

To get over 1000 feet on the homerun contest with Fox, start shooting the bag with your laser immediately when the timer starts. Keep this up until the timer starts to count down. You should be able to get to 90% damage. Then, quickly grab the bat and swing at it.

When you start homerun mode as Fox, tap B simultaneously until the time runs down to "3". Grab the bat behind you and smash the sandbag. If you tapped B enough, the sandbag will go off the top of the screen, land after the 800 foot mark, and slide.

Choose Fox and keep tapping B until the timers reaches "1". Then, press Down + A to hit the bag with the bat.

Select Roy and just use three smash attacks (Up + A; same as C-Stick Up in versus mode) and charge your sword until the time is up. The sand bag should go over 1600 feet.

Select Gannon. Tap Up + A and Gannon will keep juggling the bag. When it reaches "3", stop kicking, then either use the bat or Gannon's Mega Punch (hold B).

Hint: Getting coins:
You get a coin for every ten Smash Attacks you perform in versus mode. The smash attacks only count if you hit your opponent.

Hint: Raising multi-player match count:
To easily obtain the amount of multi-player match counts needed to unlock Mewtwo and several levels, set the custom rules on a stock game to one life, pause off, and random selection of stages. Start a super sudden death match, choosing a relatively fast opponent set at CPU level 9. Start the match and press Start continuously as needed, allowing the CPU to defeat you until your match count raises to the desired amount.

Hint: Quick versus mode battles:
To easily unlock characters or stages that require a certain number of versus mode battles, set the custom rules battles for one minute each so you do not need to do the two minute melee.

Enter the custom rules melee screen and set the stock to 1. Just keep falling or using a second controller to knock one character off and do not try to get back on the stage.

Do a super sudden death match with you and a level 9 CPU fighter. Fight repeatedly until you have enough matches to unlock certain levels and characters.

Hint: Borrow life in team battle:
If you are playing in team battle and have no more lives, press Start to take a life from your teammate. Note: This can only be done if your teammate has two or more lives.

Hint: Take better pictures in camera mode:
Press Start when you see what appears to be a good picture. You can now adjust the photo with the D-pad to change the view or angle. Then, press Z to save the photo.

Hint: Grab save:
You can use Link's Hookshot 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.

Hint: Assisted Smash Attacks:
In a multi-player match, press the C-stick in a direction to do a Smash Attack in that direction. However, this Smash Attack cannot be charged.

Hint: Missing hammer head:
To lose your hammer head (the part that hurts others), go to a stage with a lot of obstacles. Make sure that the hammer is on, then hit one of the obstacles with it. The hammer head should fall off. If not, try again. You cannot hurt others anymore with just the handle.

When the hammer head falls off, the hammer head can still be thrown as a weapon.

Hint: Dr. Mario: Change pill colors:
Press Up to do his pose. He will toss a pill into the air and catch it. Every time you do the pose, the pill color will change.

Hint: Falco or Fox: Double image:
Press Forward + B to do the dash attack and pause game play. Move the camera around for one or two images of them to appear.

Hint: Fight Giant Kirby:
Defeat the first Kirby and Team Kirby both in less then 30 seconds in adventure mode.

Hint: Metal Mario and Luigi:
Successfully complete the rest of the adventure mode before the Metal battle in less then ten minutes. You cannot use continues, but you can use up to four lives.

Hint: Harder Bosses:
On the normal difficulty setting or higher, classic and adventure modes will have harder Bosses. In classic mode, a second Master Hand will show up if you are not quick enough with the first one. In adventure mode, after defeating Bowser, Giga Bowser will appear.

Glitch: Tingle does not drown:
In the Termina Bay tage, when you pop Tingle's balloon he falls to the ground. Usually he is on solid ground, but occasionally he is over the turtle. Pop his balloon and he will drown, but return to life again.
