Bomb-fest is the 3rd event match of the 51 event matches in Super Smash Bros. Melee. As an available character of their choice, the player must win a stock match against a team consisting of a CPU red Link and a CPU pink Samus. This event match takes place on Princess Peach's Castle and has no time limit. Every character starts with 1 stock.
As its name implies, this event match features a large number of explosive elements. Link's Bombs and Samus's Bombs are frequently used by the CPUs' AI. The selection of items is limited to Bob-ombs, Motion-Sensor Bombs, and Poké Balls that only release Electrode. Banzai Bills also appear as a stage hazard. The Motion Sensor Bomb trophy is awarded for clearing this event match.

Trivia
- This is the only time in Melee that the debug CPU modes SPLWLINK and SPLWSAMUS are used.
- Aside from Samus using her pink costume, Link and Samus both wear red alternate costumes and are against the player. So it is similar to when Link and Samus wear these Alternate costumes relating to red on the red team in [[team battle]s.
