Lethal Marathon is the 33rd event match of 51 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, the gameplay speed is twice as fast as normal, making it more difficult to control Captain Falcon and react. Also, the F-Zero machines are more dangerous than they were in Adventure mode, where they can hit the player multiple times in succession, causing hundreds of damage and can One-Hit KO the character. It is possible to survive getting hit, if the player is only hit by the last F-Zero machine, or by DIing out of the F-Zero machines into the ground and teching, though that is almost impossible to perform with the sped up gameplay.
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.
