Mewtwo Strikes! is the 44th event match of 51 in Super Smash Bros. Melee. The opponents are Zelda and Mewtwo. The match starts off with the player fighting only Zelda. After fifteen seconds, Mewtwo appears and teams with Zelda to fight the player. KOing Mewtwo results in success, but if Zelda is KO'd at any time, the match ends in failure.
Interestingly, while Mewtwo is the opponent the player has to defeat, the Zelda CPU is actually stronger, being level 9 instead of 8, and dealing 20% more knockback, while Mewtwo has no such bonuses.
During the battle, the music from Poké Floats plays.
Trivia
- This event is similar to a plot point from the movie Mewtwo Strikes Back, where Mewtwo makes Nurse Joy (whose Zelda's characteristics are similar to) its mind-controlled servant.
- Zelda appears to have a darker tint in this event.
