'''Event Matches''' are battle scenarios with a broad range of various predetermined conditions; such as characters, objectives, items, or many others. This mode first appeared in ''[[Melee]]'', with 51 events being available. In ''[[Brawl]]'', there are 41 events and 21 co-op events (a new feature), each with three difficulty levels.
{{redirect|Event|the events that occur randomly in Smash Run|Smash Run}} ''For the weekly events in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', see [[List of Spirit Board events]] and [[List of Event Tourneys]].


Most ''Melee'' events allow you to choose any character, with relatively few being pre-determined; while this is reversed in ''Brawl'', as every battle except the few [[All-Star Matches]] and final events have set fighters.
'''Event match''' ({{ja|イベント戦|Ibento-sen}}, ''Event Battle'') is a single-player [[mode]] found in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and {{forwiiu}}. Event matches are challenges that place the player into specific scenarios with special conditions and a certain objective to meet, many of which pay homage to the characters and their history. Each game records the completion and "score" of each event match.


==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
[[File:EventMatchMelee.png|thumb|The ''Melee'' event match menu, with the first nine event matches visible; the red dots indicate events that have been cleared.]]
Event matches were introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', as part of the game's single-player mode. Only 10 are initially available to the player, with the rest appearing as the player fulfills a number of other objectives in the game with increasing difficulty. There are a total of fifty-one event matches in ''Melee'', and beating all of them unlocks the stage {{SSBM|Final Destination}}.


{{Event Matches}}<BR>
A majority of ''Melee''{{'}}s event matches allow the player to select their character, although several of them require the use of an assigned character. Of note is that, with the exception of {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, all characters in the [[Original 12]] from ''[[Smash 64]]'' have their own dedicated event match.
 
Unique to ''Melee''{{'}}s event matches, compared to its other single-player modes, is that some matches require players and opponents to use an [[Palette swap|alternate costume]].
 
Also of note is that no recovery items (like [[Food]], [[Maxim Tomato]]es or [[Heart Container]]s) appear in any of the event matches. However, {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s [[Judgment]] 7 can still drop a [[Food]] item to recover damage.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
[[File:Event Match Brawl.png|thumb|The Event match menu in ''Brawl'']]
A completely new set of 41 solo event matches appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', alongside a separate set of 21 [[Co-op mode|co-op]] event matches. Altogether, this brings to a total of sixty-two event matches. ''Brawl'' also introduced three [[difficulty]] levels for each event match: Easy, Normal, and Hard. The player starts with 10 solo event matches and 8 co-op event matches.
 
Unlike in ''Melee'' (where most of the events allow the player to choose any character), almost all of ''Brawl''{{'}}s event matches have an assigned character. Only the [[All-Star Match]]es (for solo events) and the final two solo and co-op events allow the player to choose any character. This appears to be done so that players are required to use nearly every character at least once; all 35 characters available from the [[character selection screen]] have at least one assigned event, counting {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} as a single character. {{SSBB|Sheik}} doesn't have an assigned event, but can be freely swapped in for {{SSBB|Zelda}} where applicable. {{SSBB|Samus}} and {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}} each have a separate event match (solo and co-op). {{SSBB|Luigi}} and {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}} lack an assigned solo event, but they appear as assigned characters in co-op events ([[Co-Op Event 11: The Great Remodeling Battle]] and [[Co-Op Event 16: Jigglypuff's Great Comeback]], respectively).

==In {{forwiiu}}==

Event matches return in {{forwiiu}}; both solo and co-op. They function similarly to those in ''Brawl'', but are now arranged on a map instead of a linear list. Completing an event will unlock paths to more events on the map. Each event will yield a reward if completed under specified conditions, such as playing on a certain difficulty and/or achieving a certain score. Additionally, scores earned will overwrite any inferior scores of lower difficulties; for example, completing an event on Normal difficulty in 30 seconds will also set the Easy difficulty's score to 30 seconds if it was slower or blank. Most events allow the use of [[Character customization|customizations]], but equipment that allows players to start a match with an item will have its extra effect negated; for an example, [[Beam Sword]] equipment will not allow the player to start matches with the Beam Sword in any event match. Players can now use different [[Alternate costume (SSB4)|alternate costumes]] for most character-specific events by picking customized characters who wear them.
 
All event matches must be unlocked by completing other events, with the only exceptions being the starter events: "[[The Original Heavyweights]]", located in the center of the solo events screen, and "[[A Lurking Menace]]", located in the top-left corner of the group events screen. Some events also have "hidden routes" that become available if certain characters (or, in the case of [[The Ultimate Battle]], all characters) are [[Unlockable character#Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|unlocked]].
 
As for the maps below, each color represents rewards for each event completed. '''Yellow''' means gold, '''light green''' means a Crazy Orders pass, and '''dark green''' means a trophy. Any path showing a character's icon means that particular character needs to be unlocked before that event can be unlocked.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
Traditional event matches are absent from ''Ultimate''. However, [[Spirit]] Battles (and stages from the [[World of Light]]) feature similar fights with unique conditions. In addition, fights in various fighters' {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} routes have unique conditions similar to those of event matches. Also, [[All-Star Smash]] is similar to [[Co-Op Event 21: The True All-Star Battle]] from ''Brawl'' and [[The Ultimate Battle]] from ''for Wii U''.

==Trivia==
*In ''for Wii U'', all randomized stages will have a consistent layout across matches until the player leaves the Event screen. For example, [[Gamer]] will always have the same objects and [[Port Town Aero Dive]] will always stop at the same places.
*''Brawl'' is the only game in the series in which none of the event matches involve fighting [[boss]]es (aside from [[minor boss]]es like [[Giant DK]] and [[Giant Bowser]]).
*Mario is the only character to have more events than the others, both in Solo and Group events.
*Samus is the only female character to have an assigned event in every game that features them.
