Event Matches make their return to Smash Bros. In Brawl. Unlike in Melee where there was 51 of them, in Brawl there are 62. However, 21 of them can only be utilised via co-op. These matches either force wins under certain conditions or pit you against a variety of characters
Match 1 - Two Trouble Kings |
Playable as: Mario
Against: Bowser, King Dedede
Stage: Delfino Plaza
Details:
The first match is just a simple brawl pitting you as Mario against Bowser & DeDeDe on the moving Delfino Plaza Stage. A good method here would be to knock them downwards as their recovery is not that good and they are heavy
|
|
Match 2 - Landmaster Maneuvers |
Playable as: Fox
Against: Meta Knight, Sheik
Stage: Corneria
Details:
The second match is unique in that, while you play as Fox, you will never actually control him for you are constantly in the Landmaster Final Smash attack. The point of this match is for you to get as many knockouts as possible with the Landmaster. Simple enough
|
|

Playable as: Meta Knight
Against: Kirby
Stage: Battleship Halberd
Unlocks: Battleship Halberd Trophy
Details:
The third match can be rather tricky. Your task in this event is to KO Kirby before the stage lands on Meta Knight's ship; The Halberd. A tricky feat indeed since Kirby can easily recover so you have to be quick and sharp in the attacks

Playable as: Pit
Against: Wario
Stage: Skyworld
Unlocks: Palutena Trophy
Details:
The fourth match is simple in that you do not have to do any fighting. All you have to do is destroy the platforms on Skyworld. However, Wario is also on the stage and will give you trouble so you may wanna KO him first, but its not necessary

Against: Diddy Kong (*15)
Stage: Mario Circuit
Details:

Stage: Rainbow Cruise

Match 12 - Sleeping in the Eggs |

Against: Pikachu, Kirby
Stage: Yoshi's Island
Details:
This match doesnt have the objective of knocking out your opponent. Instead, to win this match, you have to get both Kirby and Pikachu to be in Eggs, using Yoshi's Neutral Special, at the same time. A very tricky endeavour so make sure they're nearby when you grab them

|
Match 13 - Dragoon Strike |
Playable as: Kirby
Against: Wario, Wario, Wario
Stage: Battleship Halberd
Unlocks: Music - Legendary Air Ride - Kirby's Air Ride
Details:
This match is rather tricky in that instead of KOing the three Warios your against normally, you have to collect the Dragoon parts and KO all three Wario. To do this quickly, what you need to do is lure them to the last piece and grab it and quickly shoot at where you got the piece, else they'll be seperated and it wont work
|
|
Match 14 - Sproutage of the Flower Pikmin |
Playable as: Pikmin & Olimar
Against: Pikachu, Pokémon Trainer
Stage: Distant Planet
Unlocks: Red Pikmin Trophy
Details:

This match is a Dedede free-for all. You, while playing as King Dedede are up against 3 Dedede, one of which is Giant and Metal to make KOing him even harder. Your task, is to KO that giant metal Dedede. Not very easy to do at all
