'''Event 33: Lethal Marathon''' is one of the 51 [[event match]]es in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.
'''Lethal Marathon''' ({{ja|めざすゴールはただひとつ|Mezasu Gōru wa Tada Hitotsu}}, ''There's Only One Goal to Reach'') is the 33rd [[event match]] of the 51 event matches in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.


==Layout==
This event match is a reprise of [[F-Zero Grand Prix]], the first part of the eighth stage of in {{SSBM|Adventure Mode}}. The player controls {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} and must reach the end of the stage in the time limit. Unlike in Adventure Mode, the player has one [[stock]] instead of up to five, the time limit is set to 45 seconds instead of 4 minutes, the game runs at double speed (causing the timer to run out in only 22.5 seconds of real time), and the player receives no temporary [[invincibility]] after being hit by an F-Zero racer (meaning that being hit by a single F-Zero racer almost certainly guarantees being hit by several more in succession for massive damage and an [[OHKO]]). The difficulty therefore lies in navigating the stage with Captain Falcon's high falling speed and progressing forwards while avoiding the cars.
This event is similar to the F-Zero stage in [[Adventure Mode]] where the player has to get from point A to point B. However, it's at least twice as fast as normal, making it tricky. [[Captain Falcon (SSBB)|Captain Falcon]] is a [[fast fall]]er, and a fast [[run]]ner, so control is needed. Also, the F-ZERO machines are merciless, and the player can get around 734-999% [[damage]] and an instant [[KO]] if they all come thundering down upon the player. It's possible to survive, by DI out of F-ZERO machines and do rolling tech with perfect timing. Doing so will cause the player to get a lot more momentum to get to point B quicker.  


There are certain points on the field where the player is safe from the cars if they duck, most notably the platforms and bends in the road.
It is possible to survive getting hit, if the player is only hit by the last F-Zero machine, or by [[DI]]ing out of the F-Zero machines into the ground and [[tech]]ing, though both are almost impossible to perform with the sped-up gameplay. There are also certain points on the field where the player is safe from the cars if they crouch, most notably the platforms and bends in the road.

Lethal Marathon (めざすゴールはただひとつ, There's Only One Goal to Reach) is the 33rd event match of the 51 event matches in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

This event match is a reprise of F-Zero Grand Prix, the first part of the eighth stage of in Adventure Mode. The player controls Captain Falcon and must reach the end of the stage in the time limit. Unlike in Adventure Mode, the player has one stock instead of up to five, the time limit is set to 45 seconds instead of 4 minutes, the game runs at double speed (causing the timer to run out in only 22.5 seconds of real time), and the player receives no temporary invincibility after being hit by an F-Zero racer (meaning that being hit by a single F-Zero racer almost certainly guarantees being hit by several more in succession for massive damage and an OHKO). The difficulty therefore lies in navigating the stage with Captain Falcon's high falling speed and progressing forwards while avoiding the cars.

It is possible to survive getting hit, if the player is only hit by the last F-Zero machine, or by DIing out of the F-Zero machines into the ground and teching, though both are almost impossible to perform with the sped-up gameplay. There are also certain points on the field where the player is safe from the cars if they crouch, most notably the platforms and bends in the road.
