Super Smash Bros. Melee/Bonuses

After each match, in both single and multiplayer modes, you are awarded bonuses based on how you fought and how well you performed. Once a bonus is received for the first time it is added to a list that can be viewed in the Data section.

For many of these bonuses, the game can be "rigged" in order to make it easier to receive a certain bonus. Simply set up a multiplayer match with two human players and no CPU controlled players. Custom settings can be used to ensure that you get necessary items.

While CPU controlled characters are awarded bonuses at the end of a match, the bonus will only be added to the list if a human controlled character earns it. You cannot simply create a infinitely long match with 4 CPU controlled characters and wait for the bonuses to be earned.
