I’ve always enjoyed playing video games but very rarely have I taken it upon myself to go hunting for glitches or cheats. Usually I head to gamefaqs.com when I need help or am looking for cheats, but there is one cheat that I found, which I have never seen on gamefaqs, which I have never heard anyone talk about, which I discovered, completely on my own, and quite by accident.
Now, it may be that no one really cares, I honestly don’t blame you if you don’t. By now it’s been about 10 years since I discovered this glitch and if no one cared when the game came out, no one really cares now.
The game is Super Smash Bros Melee, and the cheat was getting the maximum amount of points on Adventure mode with single player.
The procedure is rather simple and outlined in the YouTube video embedded below.
On the first level you must do everything in your power to get a negative score. This includes dying once or twice, using a single attack for most of it, and a huge amount of shield breaks. Usually I would race through the level and sit at the end and shield break for a few minutes, then end the level, making sure I don’t end on any of the special point inducing times.
At the end of the level the point counter starts at 0 and begins racing up until it reaches your total points for the level. if you’ve done things correctly, your score is negative, so the counter will never reach your score and will continue until it reaches 999999999. (You can press A to skip the count up and it will still give you the maximum points.)
Now all you have to do is finish the rest of the adventure!
