Single Player Scoring and Bonuses
Even though I'm not really into getting high scores on single player mode nor do I care about the bonues I receive, I thought that my guide wouldn't really be complete without a list of bonuses from single player. So without further ado, here's a table with all the bonuses. A few of these I've only seen in the Smash Bros. strategy guide so I don't know how they really work.
These bonuses will make up a large portion of your points in single player
mode. The other sources of points are as follows:
-the amount of time left on the clock after clearing a stage if playing
on the five minute clock (time mode). Each second left on the clock is worth
50 points. This is also applicable to the first two bonus stages (Break the
targets and board the platforms), although they only have a two minute clock,
and the time only affects the score if you actually complete the bonus stage
(break all targets/board all platforms).
-the amount of damage dealt by the player during a regular battle. Each percent
of damage dealt is worth 10 points. This is not applicable for the Master Hand
battle or bonus stages.
-the number of targets broken/platforms boarded in the first two bonus
stages. Each of these is worth 1000 points.
-the amount of time left on the clock after clearing the race to the finish
bonus stage. Each second remaining from the two minute countdown is worth
500 points.
A final note: for all of the "hit" bonuses (Single Move, Smash-less etc.), only the hits that connect count toward the calculation of the bonuses.
| Name | Amount | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cheap Shot | -99 pts | The only negative bonus in the game. You get this if you overuse any move in a regular battle, and also used more than one move, since there's a (positive) single move bonus |
| Fighter Stance | 100 pts | Taunt (L button) just as the match ends. Your character has to be in the taunt pose when the Game Set letters come on the screen. |
| No Item | 1000 pts | Don't pick up any items during an entire battle. |
| Throw Down | 2000 pts | KO your last opponent with a throw. |
| Jackpot | 3330 pts | Finish the level with the lower two digits in your damage meter being the same (11%, 22% etc). 0% doesn't count. Not sure how this works if you have over 100%. |
| Smash Mania | 3500 pts | KO all foes with smash attacks. |
| Full Power | 5000 pts | Finish a match with 0% damage. |
| Smash-Less | 5000 pts | Win a battle without using any smashes. |

| Judo Master | 5000 pts | Only use throws in a match. |
| Mystic | 7000 pts | Win the match after losing a life, but before you return to the stage. |
| Single Move | 8000 pts | Use one and only one move during an entire battle. |

| Speedster | 10000 pts | Win the match within 30 seconds. |
| Star Finish | 10000 pts | Star finish your opponent (KO over the top boundary). Only seems to work if you have a single opponent |
| Butterfly | 10000 pts | KO your foe with a physical attack while they are trying to get back on the stage. Probably refers to a jump out attack or spike/send down. |
| Item Pitcher | 10000 pts | Win the match by chucking an item. |
| Pokemon Finish | 11000 pts | KO your opponent with a Pokemon that you deployed using a PokeBall. |

| Shooter | 12000 pts | Defeat your enemy by using only projectile attacks. |

| All Variations | 15000 pts | Use and connect with all or your character's moves during the match. |
| Item Throw | 16000 pts | Use item throw attacks more than other attacks. Not sure how this works, but is listed in the Smash Bros. strategy guide. |
| Heartthrob | 17000 pts | Collect three heart containers during a single battle. You usually won't even see one heart container in a battle, let alone three. |
| Hawk | 18000 pts | Use only aerial moves during a match. |
| Item Strike | 20000 pts | Use ONLY items during a match. |
| Comet Mystic | 10000 pts | Win the match while you are in the background (crossed the top boundary), but you haven't disappeared yet. Best chance of this happening is on Planet Zebes. |
| Heavy Damage | 28000 pts | Win a match with over 200% damage. |
| No Miss x ? | 5000-55000 pts | The largest bonuses in the game excluding the final Clear bouses. You get a No Miss for every consecutive battle you win without losing a life, starting at your first battle, and the bonuses increase each time you pull off the feat. If you die even once during the entire 1P game, you won't get these bonuses any more. If you clear the game without dying, you get 330000 pts in total from No Miss. |
