Cheats, Codes, and Secrets
The following cheats, codes, and secrets are available for Super Smash Brothers: Melee on the Nintendo Gamecube video game console.
Glitch: Flying Bowser:
Begin the game with a player as Zelda or Mewtwo and another player as Bowser. Go to the bottom half of the stage, and start pounding at Bowser until he gets to about 300%. Next, have Bowser jump over Zelda or Mewtwo, and have Zelda or Mewtwo use their Smash Up A attack. Bowser will be taking a massive amount of damage in that smash. Then as he begins his really fast ascension to the ceiling covering the bottom part, have Bowser quickly use a Wall Recovery (press L or R just before you hit the wall). If done correctly, Bowser should be flying for about six seconds, allowing him to attack, and do anything desired. Basically Bowser is being smashed into whatever his head touches -- if you move him out of the ceiling area covering the bottom half of Hyrule temple, he will actually fly away into a death.
Glitch: Tingle does not drown:
In the Termina Bay stage, when you pop Tingle's balloon he falls to the ground. Usually he is on solid ground, but occasionally he is over the turtle. Pop his balloon and he will drown, but return to life again.
Glitch: Fox costume change
Choose an alternate costume for Fox. Select any stage (Final Destination recommended), and do Firefox. Quickly pause game play. Rotate the camera and you should see that Fox is wearing his normal outfit instead of the alternate costume.
Glitch: Dancing Mewtwos:
Choose three Mewtwos in training mode and go to the stage with three bricks. Make them walkn push them into the bricks. Do not touch them and they should start dancing.
Glitch: Floating Peach:
Play as Peach on the Corneria stage. Go to the top of the airship, and immediately quickly press Left and Right alternately. If done correctly, Peach should float. She will do this until she dies or gets hit with an item.
Glitch: Floating Pokemon:
Start a game in the Fourside stage. Pick up a Pokeball and wait for the UFO to appear. Once it appears, wait about fifteen secondsn throw the Pokeball down onto it. When the UFO disappears Pokemon will be floating in mid-air.
Glitch: Toad bigger than Peach:
You can make Toad (Peache's B move) bigger than Peach. First, either play as Peach in Giant Melee, or get a super mushroom as Peach. When someone hits you with something (for example, Doctor Mario's B move for the pill), Toad will grow bigger than her. Try playing Giant Melee with a super mushroom then hit Toad. He will become huge.
Glitch: Spinning Pichu:
Go to training mode. Select Pichu as a training partner. Select the Yoshi's Story stage and begin. Set the Pichus on walk. Once they get on the block, push them and it will start spinning until you hit them off.
Glitch: No character at ending scene:
Play as Mewtwo or Zelda (Shiek) and fight in a versus mode game. Win, and immediately before the final person dies, press B + Up. They will disappearn it will say "Game" with no one on the screen.
Glitch: Announcer mistakes:
Play as Zelda and turn to Sheik before the announcer says "GO". After the beginning of the fight, turn into Zelda and win the fight. If done correctly announcer will say "This game's winner is Sheik!", but Zelda will be doing the victory dance.
Glitch: Floating weapon:
Select Yoshi, and put all items on. Go to a level and wait for an item that you can hold on to appear (not food or bunny hood). Turn on your Egg Shield by holding Z and pausing the game. if done correctly item will be hovering in front of the egg.
Glitch: Floating character:
Go to training mode and press Start. Hold A over "Reset". You will keep resetting but actually float.
Glitch: Frozen opponent
Play in training mode and select Mewtwo. Choose Bowser or Donkey Kong as your enemy on battlefield and make a red shell. Mewtwo must be under the left platform. Bowser/Donkey Kong must be on the left platform. Mewtwo must have the red shell. Throw the red shell and use Forward + B on the red shell five times. Have Bowser/Donkey Kong drop through the platform. Use Forward + B on the red shell a sixth time. If done correctly, Bowser/Donkey Kong will be stuck to you. Make another CPU opponent and on either edge of either platform, grab the opponent that is not stuck to you and throw down. If done correctly opponent that was not stuck to you will be frozen. for an infinite combo, do the above then do a Shadow Ball next to the frozen opponent. This will rack up combos. Set the game speed to 2x and after you get 32767 combos with this consecutive hits counter will be at 900.
Glitch: Frozen game
Go to the Green Greens stage in training mode and wait for all the star boxes to fall. Destroy just the star boxes in the middle, but do not break the bottom one. Once you are standing in the center of the boxes, pause game play and choose the red shell. Lay down as many as you cann jump straight up and fall on them. As soon as you hit them game should freeze. This trick also works with Bomb-boms. This glitch does not work in the Greatest Hits version of the game.
Glitch: Hit through wall
You can often hit an enemy though a wall such as at the middle tower on Princes Peach's castle center building on Fourside, and many places on Hyrule Temple.
Glitch: Character through building
Play as Mewtwo and set the damage ratio to 2.0 and CPU to level 1. Go to the Corneria level and run as fast as you can to your opponent. Press Z to grab him and throw him straight up. If timed correctly, your opponent will go through a skyscraper. This also works if your trying to rack up versus mode battles.
Glitch: Character through platform
Choose versus mode and select a level 1 CPU opponent with no handicap. Go on top of a platform and tap Control-stick Down. Pause game play as soon as you tap Down. Your player will appear as if he or she is sinking through the platform.
Glitch: Same costumes
Go to a normal melee battle and have player one choose any character. Next, have player two highlight player one's character. Make sure that player two has the costume selected that is just before the costume that player one has. Next, have player one deselect their character and at the same moment have player two change the costume color. If done correctly, you should be able to play against an exact copy of that character.
Glitch: Fox or Falcon communications
Select Fox and Falco in two player mode. Set the time to unlimited and play on the Cornelia or Venom stages. Get them to do a special taunt, and make sure that they do not get hit until the team responds. You will see the communications show Fox or Falco talking, even though they are on the Great Fox fighting themselves or fighting CPU players.
Glitch: Disappearing Fox
In special melee, pick camera mode. Then, choose Fox and any CPU opponent. Start the fight, use Fox's side B attackn take the picture. If done correctly, Fox should be invisible in the picture.
Glitch: Shadow Link's shield
In Event #18 (Link's Adventure), Shadow Link never uses his Shadow Shield only the original (bubble) one.
Glitch: Large Mario taunt
Go to Special Melee and choose all of the items as Super Mushrooms. Then, pick Mario. Once you are on the stage, pick up a super mushroom then do his taunt. He will be gigantic.
Glitch: Nana does not die
Choose the Ice Climbers and any stage. Begin to fight . If Nana begins to fall to her doom, use the B + Up attack. If you are close enough to her, she will magically appear next to you, and do the jump with you.
Glitch: Electrified Ness
When you choose Ness, go to the very edge of either side of a level. Use your PK Thunder and have it hit you on the very top of the head. Ness should then just fall to the ground, but will have electricity coming from his body. You can walk around and it lasts until you use your shield, PSI Magnet, PK Thunder or if you die.
Glitch: Peach stuck in the ground
Play in adventure mode as Peach. When you are about to be teleported, walk to the left. Notice that the farther left that you go further down the land goes. Jump into the air and hover. Hover towards the teleporter. On the way, it will appear as if Peach is stuck in the ground.
Glitch: Hold needles
Choose Zelda and an opponent. Then, choose the stage. While the stage is loading, hold A. You will start out as Sheik. Start charging your needles, and when Sheik starts flashing press R, L, or Z. You will now be able to move with your needles charged.
