Event 51: The Showdown is the final event match in Super Smash Bros. Melee, unlocked upon clearing the previous 50 events. This event match gives the player a choice to play as any playable character before the match, like most event matches. The match is a 3 stock match, and there are 3 opponents: Giga Bowser, Ganondorf, and Mewtwo. It takes place on Final Destination, which is unlocked after clearing this.
Rewards
After beating this event, Final Destination is unlocked as a playable VS. mode stage. A special message is awarded if the event is cleared without losing a stock, saying, "You cleared Event 51, The Showdown, with no falls!" Also, the player is rewarded with the Final Destination trophy.
Trivia
- The three characters fought in this match have at least one attack that wields darkness, possibly representing evil.
- All three characters are villains from highly represented franchises; Giga Bowser from the Mario franchise, Ganondorf from the Zelda franchise, and Mewtwo from the Pokémon franchise (though it is debatable if Mewtwo is a villain or not).
- The final event match in Brawl, The FINAL, Final Battle, is very similar to this event match, with Giant Mario replacing Giga Bowser and Sonic and Snake succeeding Mewtwo and Ganondorf. That event match is also fought on the corresponding Final Destination stage.
- When Chansey is released from a Poké Ball, only the eggs with battle items or explosive ones will be thrown to the stage, not healing ones, since no healing items appear at all.
