List of unlockables (SSBM)

The following contains a list of unlockables a player can obtain in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Characters[edit]

Unlockable characters can be encountered by either completing their unique requirement or their "VS. Match quota" (playing a certain number of VS. matches to completion). After meeting either requirement, the character must be defeated in a 1-stock match to be unlocked. If the player fails to defeat the character, they can be re-fought by either completing their unique requirement again or by playing another VS. match to completion (if their quota is met).

  1. ^ a b c d e f Because All-Star Mode is itself unlocked by unlocking all characters, it is only possible to unlock a character via All-Star Mode if the player had previously used the Erase Data > Hidden Characters option after unlocking All-Star Mode.
  2. ^ The time required is calculated in "player-hours" (e.g. two human players gives two hours for every hour of game-time, three human players give three and four players give four).
