'''Super Sudden Death''' and '''300%''' are [[Special Melee]] and [[Special Brawl]] modes in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', respectively. They challenge two to four players to a match where each player has a 300% [[Damage]] Percentage from the very beginning, as opposed to 0%. This is much like the [[Sudden Death]] mode which occurs after a tie in [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|the series]], with the only difference from being that this mode lacks the falling [[Bob-omb]]s that fall on the opponents after a certain duration of time.

Super Sudden Death radically changes the way the game is played as virtually any attack with [[knockback]] scaling can KO the opponent.  As such, this mode tends to greatly favor extremely fast characters such as {{SSBB|Sonic}} and characters with powerful projectiles such as [[Samus]]. Even {{SSBB|Pit}}'s [[Palutena's Arrow|arrows]] can cause significant knockback in this mode.  Conversely, slow, powerful characters such as {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} are at the greatest disadvantage because the advantage they gain through greater knockback from attacks is negated by the fact that ''all'' attacks have extreme knockback.  

[[Lucario]] tends to have a greater advantage in Super Sudden Death mode as its aura-based attacks become more powerful as it takes damage, capping at 170%. With Lucario always at 300% damage, this property retains its maximum level throughout the match unless Lucario consumes large amounts of healing items.

In ''Melee'', the songs on [[Mushroom Kingdom (SSBM)|Kingdom]] and [[Mushroom Kingdom II|Kingdom II]] are changed to ''Mushroom Kingdom (Finale)'' and ''Mushroom Kingdom II (Finale)'', respectively, during this mode (if one does not play the ''Dr. Mario'' [[alternate music]]), as they are in the regular Sudden Death.
