Unlike 100-Man Melee/Brawl, in which the enemy difficulty increases after set numbers of KOs, the enemy AI in a 15-Minute Melee/Brawl will get more aggressive as time goes on, even if the player has no KOs. This serves to make it more difficult to "eat the clock" by evading enemies.
Most of the simpler strategies for the 15-Minute Melee and 15-Minute Brawl involve spamming a certain move of the character. It is also recommended to ignore any kind of [[item]], especially those which are explosive.

====[[Donkey Kong]]====
Playing as [[Donkey Kong (SSBM)|Donkey Kong]], situate him anywhere on the stage. When the Fighting Wire Frames begin approaching Donkey Kong, use his [[Down Special Move]], the [[Hand Slap]]. Any Fighting Wire Frames in the radius of this move should be knocked out instantly.

Playing as [[Fox McCloud (SSBM)|Fox]], spam his Side Special Move, the [[Fox Illusion]], back and forth along the stage.
 
====[[Kirby]]====
Playing as [[Kirby (SSBM)|Kirby]], situate him on the edge of a main platform, facing inwards, and use his [[Up Special Move]], the [[Final Cutter]]. If necessary, roll to the other side of the platform to avoid a [[Bob-omb]] or similar hazard.
 
====[[Luigi]]====
Playing as [[Luigi (SSBM)|Luigi]], spam his Down Special Move, the [[Luigi Cyclone]], back and forth along the stage.

Playing as [[Mario (SSBM)|Mario]], spam his Down Special Move, the [[Mario Tornado]], back and forth along the stage.

Playing as [[Mewtwo (SSBM)|Mewtwo]], situate it on the edge of a main platform and use its [[Standard Special Move]], the [[Shadow Ball]].  Any Fighting Wire Frames in the radius of this move will be [[damage]]d. If Mewtwo is damaged, launch the fully-charged Shadow Ball, and return to the edge of the main platform to start over.
 
===[[Screw Attack]]===
Hold off the wire frames until you get a screw attack ball. While this would be useless against real fighters the wireframes will be KO'd on contact. If you can hold on to the item the whole time, you can easily get through 15 minutes mostly untouched.

====[[Lucario]]====
This strategy requires two players. Both players must be [[Lucario (SSBB)|Lucario]]. Both players must stand beside each other using Lucario's standard special attack. When a Fighting Alloy jumps up to the players, they will be caught between the two attacks and will not be able to move.

Captain Falcon in 15-Minute Melee.

15-Minute Melee and 15-Minute Brawl are Multi-Man modes in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl respectively. While they both challenge the player to defeat as many opponents as possible (Fighting Wire Frames in Melee, and Fighting Alloys in Brawl) within 15 minutes without falling from the stage or self-destructing, the player will find that it becomes a challenge to merely make it through the match alive. These are arguably one of the more difficult Multi-Man modes, as throughout the 15 minutes, the player can accumulate a great deal of damage and eventually be easily KO'd by a middling attack or rogue item, though simple strategies such as spamming a certain move or evading the opponents altogether may suffice (most infamously Donkey Kong's Hand Slap).

The high scores of 15-Minute Melee depend on whether or not the match is cleared. If it is cleared, a record is made of the amount of opponents KOd. If it is not cleared, a record is made of the length of time the player lasted. In 15-Minute Brawl, the only record that is displayed is KOs, regardless of whether the player finished the match.

Unlike 100-Man Melee/Brawl, in which the enemy difficulty increases after set numbers of KOs, the enemy AI in a 15-Minute Melee/Brawl will get more aggressive as time goes on, even if the player has no KOs. This serves to make it more difficult to "eat the clock" by evading enemies.

This mode was replaced by Rival Smash in Super Smash Bros. 4.
