Event match
Event matches are special challenges that were first introduced as a set of 51 single player tasks in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Each event match puts the player into a scenario with special conditions and a certain objective. The player must complete the objective in order to complete the event match, and the game records the completion and "score" of each event match. A completely new set of 41 single player event matches was included in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and, additionally, a separate set of 21 co-op event matches was introduced. Brawl also introduced three difficulty levels for each event match - easy, medium and hard.
Most Melee events allow the player 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. This appears to be done so that players are forced to use every character at least once, while Melee only makes the player use all the non-clones.
