3-Minute Smash

Co-op 3-Minute Brawl

3-Minute Melee and 3-Minute Brawl are Multi-Man modes in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl, respectively. They challenge the player to defeat as many opponents as possible (Fighting Wire Frames in Melee and Fighting Alloys in Brawl) within 3 minutes without falling from the stage or self-destructing.

The high scores of 3-Minute Melee and Brawl depend on whether or not the match is cleared. If it is cleared, a record is made of the amount of opponents knocked out. If it is not cleared, a record is made of the length of time which the character lasted. This Melee/Brawl is followed by 15-Minute Melee and Brawl which is 5 times longer than this, which is why this is considered one of the easiest events to clear.
