Melee stage mode

How do you beat the 15 minute melee?
I've tried Bowser, DK, Ice climbers, and Samus. They all failed me.

There is no set way to beat it. but there are two main methods.

The first requires:
- A good character with a decent strategy,
- A good deal of patience, and
- A lot of luck.

...I passed it using Yoshi, and eventually getting a hold of a screw attack.  Jump, jump, stomp.  Death going up, death coming down.
From there, it was just hoping a bob-omb wouldn't spawn on top of me while screw-jumping during the last 15 seconds... AGAIN.

The other method is cowardice, going by the theory that the enemies won't become harder if you don't kill them.  I don't know if it works.

Go Moon!

Good luck trying to get five KOs in the cruel melee.  :)

I used Ness, and with practice, was able to fly side-to-side continuously, so that nobody could reach me. This was done using PK Thunder. Blast yourslef to one side, jump up and blast to the other! I used Jigglypuff, of all people, to get 7 KO's in Cruel Melee. Rest is good for dispersing large groups.

I continually used DK's ground slap (B-down) for the whole 15 minutes. However you have to watch out for bob-ombs and grab any pokeballs that appear if you use this method.
