Bonus #161 - Minimalist (1500 points)

This is an easy bonus to get in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Simply avoid touching any items for the entire match to achieve it.

Tips

Focus on combat and avoid interacting with any items that appear on the stage.

Bonus #162 - Item Hog (4000 points)

Walkthrough

1
Start a Vs. Mode match.
2
Set the rules to allow items to spawn frequently.
3
Choose a character with good mobility to quickly grab items.
4
Focus on collecting items rather than fighting opponents.
5
Continue playing until you accumulate 4000 points worth of collected items.

Tips

Use stages with a large open area to maximize item collection.
Consider playing with CPU opponents set to low difficulty or off to avoid interference.
Certain items, like the Super Mushroom or Star, can be collected quickly.
The bonus is cumulative, so you don't need to achieve it in a single match.

Bonus #163 - Item Collector (4000 points)

Walkthrough

1
Equip only one specific item before starting the match.
2
Ensure you successfully obtain that equipped item during the match.
3
Repeat this process for every type of item that can appear to fulfill the condition of getting every kind of item.

Tips

This challenge can be confusing as it may be difficult to track which items you have already collected.
By equipping only one item at a time, you can more easily verify if you have obtained that specific item type.

Bonus #164 - Connoisseur (3000 points)

Walkthrough

1
Set up a match with a time limit of one minute.
2
Ensure only food items are coming down (set other items to very low).
3
Focus on collecting every food item that appears on screen.

Tips

Setting the item drop rate to very low for non-food items makes it easier to focus on collecting all the food.
A one-minute match duration helps concentrate your efforts.
