The CPU Pikachu's artificial intelligence is set at Level 5, while the CPU Fox's artificial intelligence is set at Level 3 and the CPU Donkey Kong's artificial intelligence is set at Level 4.

When the match starts, Yoshi will spawn on the left side of the main platform, while Pikachu spawns on the right side of the main platform, Fox spawns on the top soft platform, and Donkey Kong spawns in the center of the main platform. Each player starts off with infinite stocks. Yoshi must protect a unique item,, from Pikachu, Fox, and Donkey Kong. The egg can take damage from any character, including Yoshi. It will break if it is attacked too much, which will result in a loss. The event will also end in failure if the egg passes through a blast line other than the top one, although the player can still fail if any character is Star KO'd while in possession of the egg. If Yoshi protects the egg from being destroyed in 55 seconds, it will result in a victory. High scores are measured by the number of times Yoshi KOs his opponents.
