Use any character and play 'adventure mode'. You must beat the first level (Mushroom Kingdom) with 3 minutes and 32 seconds left on the timer. If you do that correctly you face Luigi and Peach on the next level. Beat the rest of adventure mode without losing a life. When you finish you will battle Luigi again. Defeat him and he's a new fighting character.
Best Character for Home-Run Contest
Many people have trouble hitting the sandbag over 1,500 meters. Yoshi is the best character to use for this contest. Jump above the sandbag and then press down A to dish out damage. Do this about four or five times and then swing the bat. The sandbag will go extremely far. If your an expert at this, you can probably get the sandbag to 140% damage. I got over 2,000 meters with Yoshi which is quite hard to do. You will also get the paper mario trophy and Yoshi's Island.
Symphony Music Theme
When the "press start" screen appears, hold Z and press start. A different music theme should come on the main menu.
Mew Trophy
You DO NOT get the Mew Trophy from seeing Mew from a Poke ball but by completing All-Star on hard or very hard (continues allowed).
Facing Giga Bowser
Complete Adventure mode without any continues on Normal or above in less than 18 mins and the Bowser at the end will come back after being defeated as a huge Giga Bowser.
Another Home Run Guide
This way requires no smash moves until the last hit with the bat. Choose Ice Climbers and do a Forward + A attack to pin the sadbag down. If it flies, restart. Now do a strong (not smash) Up + A, if it flies high then restart. Now press B as it lands, do another strong Up + A. Pin it down one last time and swing. It should go over 450m/1450ft to get you the Paper Mario trophy.
Defeating 15 Min Melee
This unlocks the past stage of Kongo Jungle. It is quite hard but you need to know one thing, the male wireframes are aggressive and will attack you while the female ones are territorial. Simply deal with male wireframes until you are left with all female. They rarely attack you and if they do put up a weak shield. If they don't stop attacking KO them and wait for another female to spawn.
Guarantee a new trophy
Isn't it annoying when you get a trophy you already have in the lottery. Here's how to make sure it never happens again.
First back up your save game file. Then go into the lottery window. The game will save. Now pull out your memory card and put in the coin. If the trophy is not new, put back in the memory card and reset. You will still have all your coins and the old trophy will not be there. When it asks you to load the game press yes.
If it is new, put back in the memory card, exit lottery and overwrite save. There, guaranteed new trophy!
Event 50 Strategies
The hardest event there is I think. Harder than Event 51 as you only have one life. There are ways to beat the hands though.
Always attack Crazy Hand (the left one) first. Anticipate their attack and jump away. If they try to poke or grab you jump then quickly fall.
You can either use Yoshi's midair down+a attack constantly or Pikachu's thunder constantly. Roy/Marth/C.Falcon/Ganon all have Smash Up moves that can hit them from the ground. Kirby is also good with his transform.
Other ways to unlock characters
You can also unlock charcters by playing a certain number of normal melees. After completing the number of melees required to unlock them, they will challenge you. This is good because it is easy if fight them again if you fail and you can choose the charcter you want. (Plus you can use the C-Stick!)

Do You Have "The Power" ?
Ness has been known to unleash powerful energy based special attacks. They are his "PK Thunder"(Up+B), "PK Flash"(B),"PK Fire"(Right or Left+B), and "PK Shield"(Down+B). All are useful- but PK Thunder is special. You can use it to boost yourself being hit at an angle, or use it to shock enemies. But, there's a little known fact: you can have a shock running through you if you can do this. __First, perform the PK Thunder. Make sure you don't touch anything with the Thunder. Then, have an enemy hit you while you shake on the ground (controlling the Thunder). You will cancel the attack. Now- look at Ness. He will have a shock running through him occasionally for a good 30 seconds. I am currently rechecking to see if the backfire can EMPOWER Ness.
Giant Kirby
You can battle a giant kirby on Adventure mode if you defeat the 15 kirbys on Green greens in under 30 seconds.
100 Man Melee Hint
In the 100 Man Melee, you should be either Fox or Roy. The have the fastest yet strongest moves to get them gone. I have completed the 100 Man Melee in under 3 minutes!
Bunny Ears
The Bunny Ears make you run much faster and jump much higher. They are a big help in an intense battle!

Score Display
If you manage to rack up 5000 KOs in Multiplayer, you will have a Score Display option which displays the current score during the game instead of having to see at the end of the game.
Fox's Friends
This is a neat little trick. In any of fox's stages (Corneria or Venom) keep pressing left-right-left-right repeatedly on the D-pad. He will bend over for 5 seconds, and then his three friends pop up at the bottom of the screen in classic Star Fox style. All they do is spout crap, but its pretty cool. Note: for those who don't believe me this came out of an official magazine and i've tried it. It works. This may take a bit of practice, it takes a stressfully long time. From the one and only Dirty Sanchez.
