Going for a high score in Super Smash Bros.? Here's all the "Special Bonuses"
I know about, and how it seems you can get them. A "Special Bonus" occurs when
the game decides you've done something special and gives you points after a
match in the one player mode "just because." The known bonuses are as follows:
BONUSES GIVEN AFTER ANY BATTLE
Cheap Shot -99 pts Not known exactly. Could come as a result of
"juggling" your opponent with several attacks each
timed to hit as he comes out of a fall.
Fighter Stance 100 pts Pose with the 'L' button just as a match ends.
No Item 1000 pts Finish without picking up any items.
Throw Down 2000 pts Finish off your opponent with a throw move.
Jackpot 3330 pts Unknown.
Full Power 5000 pts Finish the match with 0% damage. Note that if you
win without taking any hits you'll get both this
and "No Damage," worth a total of 20000 pts.
Smash-less 5000 pts Don't let the enemy get any power hits on you.
Single Move 8000 pts Win the battle by only using one move (like DK's
spin-jump). You can use that move as often as
you want as long as you don't use any others.
Shield Breaker 8000 pts Uncertain. This appears to happen when a shield
is broken quickly. The only time I've seen this so
far is when a Pokeball produced a Staryu, which
blew away an enemy's shield in short order. It
doesn't seem to come up when you use simple attacks
to unshield somebody.
Lucky 3 9990 pts Unknown.
Speedster 10000 pts Finish the match within thirty seconds.
Bumper Clear 10000 pts The last hit on the last foe in the battle must
have been due to a bumper.
Star Attack 10000 pts Finish the battle while invincible from a star.
Star Finish? 10000 pts? On a board on which you have only one opponent,
finish him off with the "disappears off into the
distance" effect instead of the off-the-bottom
or off-the-side explosions.
Pokemon Finish 10000 pts? Finish the match with the last attack delivered
via a Pokemon, either from a Pokeball or on
Pikachu's level. (If that hit is delivered by
Pikachu or Jigglypuff it doesn't count of course.)
Booby Trap 12000 pts The last hit on your opponent must be delivered
by a Mine (the ones that look kind of like the
Proximity Mines from Goldeneye). This award seems
to only be granted if your player was the one to
drop the mine.
No Damage 15000 pts Finish without taking a hit!
Hawk 15000 pts Spend more time in the air than on the ground.
You sometimes get this if you've used a lot of air
attacks.
No Miss x?? 5000- Every consecutive battle since the game's start you
55000 pts win without losing a life you earn a "No Miss"
bonus. The first time you die at ALL in a game
(continues count, I'm afraid) you won't be seeing
any further No Miss bonuses. The first time you do
this you get 5000 points ("No Miss x1"). Each time
after that it's worth 5000 points more, up to 55000
for defeating Master Hand without dying at all
throughout the game. (By doing that, you also get
the "No Miss Clear" described below.)
Pacifist 60000 pts Don't hit your opponent at all! This happened to me
once against Pikachu; he just fell off the board.
The fight lasted about five seconds.
BONUSES ONLY GIVEN ON PARTICULAR LEVELS
Tornado Clear 3000 pts On Link's Hyrule Castle stage, the enemy must have
been dispatched by one of the tornados that appear
on this level.
ARWING Clear 4000 pts The last hit on the opponent must be delivered by
the ARWING spacecraft on Fox's Sector Z stage.
Good Friend 8000 pts In the match against the Mario Bros., keep your
teammate alive until the end.
True Friend 25000 pts On the Mario Bros. level, finish with your teammate
undamaged.
DK Defender 10000 pts Get your comrades through the Giant DK level.
Kirby Rank 25000 pts Unknown exactly. You seem to get this when you
blaze through the Kirby level. It's possible that
you only get this one when you defeat each of the
Kirbys with one hit.
Acid Clear 1500 pts The last hit must be delivered by the acid lava
on Samus' Planet Zebes level.
Comet Finish 10000 pts? Unknown exactly. Seems to only occur on Zebes.
BONUSES ONLY GIVEN ON BONUS STAGES
Perfect 30000 pts Get all the targets in Bonus Stage 1, or land on
all the target platforms in Bonus Stage 2.
BONUSES GIVEN UPON COMPLETING A GAME
Very Easy Clear 70000 pts (Hard and Very Hard scores not confirmed yet.)
Easy Clear 140000 pts
Normal Clear 210000 pts
Hard Clear 280000 pts?
Very Hard Clear 350000 pts?
No Miss Clear 70000- Win the game without dying and it seems your end-
350000 pts of-game bonus is doubled. (Only partially
checked.)
Speed King 40000 pts Win the game in less than twenty minutes total.
I don't promise these are all correct; I'm compiling this list from memory.
In particular some of the point values are wrong. Expect an update soon
fixing these. If you know of any corrections be sure to let me know! (I
won't post them until I can verify them, though, just so you know!) Do you
know of any additional bonuses? Have a correction to suggest? Let me know at
milen_cent@hotmail.com!
