Below the Belt (known as Dirty Boxing in PAL versions of the game) is a single-player event match in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. In it, the player controls Mario, and must protect Little Mac, who is at a level of damage depending on the difficulty, from a giant Little Mac in a stock match. The ally Little Mac constantly crouches and does not attack.

Trivia[edit]
- This event is similar to Melee's Event 19: Peach's Peril and Brawl's Event 31: The Ultimate Bodyguard where the player must defend a helpless ally.
- Mario's role of defending the damaged Little Mac is a reference to his cameo as the referee in Punch-Out!!.
- Mario also uses his Fire Mario costume, as a reference to his outfit in Punch-Out!!.
- This is the only solo event match where the player uses an alternate costume (in this case, Mario's Fire Mario color scheme).
- The name of the event in NTSC regions is a reference to the below the belt rule, a rule in standard boxing that does not allow either contender to hit the other "below the belt" (meaning the genital area, legs, and crotch).
