'''Event match''' ({{ja|イベント戦}}, ''Event Battle'') is a single-player [[mode]] found in all ''Super Smash Bros.'' games starting with ''Melee''. Event matches are special challenges that place the player into specific scenarios with special conditions and a certain objective that must be met. The game records the completion and "score" of each event match.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==

Event matches were introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', as part of the game's re-tooled single player mode. Only 10 are initially given to the player, with the rest being added as the player fulfils a number of other objectives in the game. There are a total of 51 event matches in ''Melee''.

A majority of event matches allow the player to select their character, though a number of them do require the player to use a specific character. Of note is that, with the exception of {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, all characters from the "[[Original 12]]" characters (from [[Smash 64]]) have their own dedicated event match (at least one or two). The 16 event matches which have a character from the ''Original 12'' characters as an assigned character (except Pikachu) also match Smash 64's playable character roster.  

Unusual to ''Melee's'' event matches compared to other single player modes is that some event matches force characters to be in an [[Palette swap|alternate costume]] or fight against opponents in an alternate costume, such as in the [[Trophy Tussle]] matches.  

Of note is that, no healing items appear in any one of the event matches, although {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s [[Judgement]] 7 will still drop a [[Food]] item.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==

[[File:EventMatch.jpg|thumb|The ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' event match menu.]]

A completely new set of 41 solo event matches was included in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and a separate set of 21 [[Co-op mode|co-op]] event matches also included. Altogether there are sixty two event matches; 41 solo events and 21 co-op events. ''Brawl'' also introduced three [[difficulty]] levels for each event match (both solo events and co-op events); Easy, Normal, and Hard. Like in ''Melee'', the player starts with 10 event matches, as well as 8 co-op event matches.

Unlike in ''Melee'' (where most of the events allow the player to choose any character), almost all of ''Brawl's'' event matches have an assigned character. Only the [[All-Star Match]]es and the final two event matches don't have set characters. This appears to be done so that players are forced to use nearly every character at least once. However, only {{SSBB|Luigi}} and {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}} lack an assigned event match. But even then, the two are required in two of the 21 co-op events; [[Co-Op Event 11: The Great Remodeling Battle]] (which has Luigi) and [[Co-Op Event 16: Jigglypuff's Great Comeback]] (which has Jigglypuff).

Event matches and co-op event matches return in {{forwiiu}} and function similarly to those in ''Brawl'', but are now arranged on a map instead of a linear list. Completing an event will unlock paths to more events on the map. Additionally, each event will yield a reward if completed under specified conditions, such as playing on a certain difficulty and/or achieving a certain score. Some events also have "hidden routes" that become available if certain requirements are met, such as a character being [[Unlockable character|unlocked]]. In addition, scores earned will overwrite any inferior scores of lower difficulties; for example, completing an event on Normal difficulty in 30 seconds will also set the Easy difficulty's score to 30 seconds if it was slower or blank. Most events allow the use of [[Character customization|customizations]], but equipment that has players starting a match with an item will have their extra effect negated; for an example, [[Beam Sword]] equipment will not allow the player to start matches with the Beam Sword in any event match. Players can now use different [[Alternate costume (SSB4)|alternate costumes]] for most character-specific events by picking customized characters who wear them.

All event matches must be unlocked by completing other events, with the only exceptions being the starter events: "[[The Original Heavyweights]]", located in the center of the solo events screen, and "[[A Lurking Menace]]", located in the top-left corner of the group events screen. Hidden routes have an additional requirement: players must unlock a specific [[Unlockable character#Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|character]], or in the case of [[The Ultimate Battle]], all of the characters, to reveal a hidden route.

As for the maps below, each color represents rewards for each event completed. '''Yellow''' means gold, '''Light green''' means a Crazy Orders pass and '''Dark green''' means a trophy. Any path showing a character's icon means that [[Unlockable character#Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|particular character]] needs to be unlocked before that event can be unlocked.  

*In the Wii U version, all randomized stages will be the same layout until quitting the Event screen. For example, [[Gamer]] will always have the same objects while [[Port Town Aero Dive]] will stop at the same places each time.

*''Brawl'' is the only game in the series in which none of the event matches involve fighting bosses, aside from [[minor boss]]es such as [[Giant Bowser]] and [[Giant DK]].
