The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Event 33: Lethal Marathon is one of the 51 event matches in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Layout

This event is similar to the F-Zero stage in Adventure Mode where the player has to get from point A to point B. However, it's at least twice as fast as normal, making it tricky. Captain Falcon is a fast faller, and a fast runner, so control is needed. Also, the F-ZERO machines are merciless, and the player can get around 734-999% damage and an instant KO if they all come thundering down upon the player. It is possible to survive, by DI out of F-ZERO machines and do rolling tech with perfect timing. Doing so will cause the player to get a lot more momentum to get to point B quicker.

There are certain points on the field where the player is safe from the cars if they duck, most notably the platforms and bends in the road.
