	(Alternatively you could do 100-Man with All Characters, but this is a difficult and time consuming challenge that honestly makes you go crazy, but this could save 2-3 hours if done well, but you're also sacrificing 6-7 hours of sleep)

			On the long, flat custom stage, run with Sonic a lot (multiple controllers works best) for the walking challenge.
		Play on your Sticker Factory 8 times (just SD)
		Grind Stickers on Jungle in Subspace, Intense Difficulty
		**IF YOU HAVE 50 HOURS OF BRAWLS**
		Grind CD’s on the Sticker Factory on a Fast Special Brawl (**This does not count towards hours of brawls.**)
		If you don't have 50 hours, just regular brawl. 


		Grind KO’s in the KO Factory a few hours
		If you do not have the 50 hours of brawls, idle until then. (If you are doing this instead of 100 Man All Characters)

	Hammer the remaining 5 Challenges (100 hours of brawls, 100-Man All Characters (or 50 hours of Brawl if you did the 100 man All Characters), all stickers, all CD’s, and 500 trophies)



**Done!**

All Events

(everything is on easy difficulty unless noted differently)

1: Go to the top and repeatedly dair
2: Wait it out
3: Normal(Faster) - Run up grab, forward throw into fair and end it with up-b
   Easy(Slower) - Up-b	
4: Break the platforms going clockwise and usind d-smash
5: Switch to charizard and use side-b, f-smash, u-smash, and up-b
6: Run asfast as possible at the end, wait it out
7: Move to the right of the stage where the grass and road connect and f-smash
8: Down-b in the middle 
10: Go Pikachu and go to the middle, spam down-b
11: U-air them
12: Put both in eggs at the same time jump to the platforms right side in the beginning
13: Wait it out, try to get two in one shot
14: Wait of screen and grab the oppnent
15: Get him off stage
16: Don't hit the smash ball if you can't break it and you're going to push it away from you  
17: Go hard difficulty and wait
18: Stay offscreen, throw and attack
19: Use shells
20: Go Pikachu and use down-b in the middle
21: Use up-smash and f-smash

26: Use f-smash and grabs. Use bomb items, assist trophies, and pokéballs 
27: Go to the bottom left corner under the large solid platform, roll into the ledge and face to the right, use up-throw when they get close
28: Mkae sure they are all red and not orange, go clockwise and use d-smash
29: Go pikachu and go to the left and back throw
30: Go to the left and spam up-smash, containers might spawn and roll back and forth, this will help kill sonics
31: Charge up-smash, use f-smash, try spiking, use walk-off to your advantage, and do marth stuff 
32: Use dair to spike and use your aerials
33: Go left and use grabs, warlock punches, smash attacks, and dair/down-b spikes

35: Tricky, try killing as fast as possible
36: Also tricky, use up-smash
37: Build up damage early, try not to kill them until you're in the air, then use up-smash and up-b

39: Go Pikachu and use down-b
40: Back throw and dair, gain stage control edgeguard if needed
41: Go pikachu and down-b, use items

Play as ZSS in any mode

On the character select, you can't directly select ZSS. However by holding L & R on your GameCube/Classic Controller and then pressing start, you'll start as ZSS and not Samus. For people playing with another controller, with Wiimote & Nunchuck hold Z and with Wiimote Sideways hold minus (-)

Subspace Emissary NG+ Route [2022]

## This NG+ route benefits heavily off of exiting a level with one character and entering the next level with the same character for most of the route to cut down on load times. With the current characters used, a maximum of 3 bad loads can be achieved (from the secret character doors, the "fake bad load" is due to non-preloaded Kirby loading faster than preloaded Charizard).

## Before you attempt runs of this route, save these characters within Subspace I & Subspace II. The characters primarily used will be near the corners to cut down on selection time.

### Braces { } include letters for optimal menuing from one level to another (U = Up, L = Left, R = Right, D = Down, ul = Up-Left, ur = Up-Right, dl = Down-Left, dr = Down-Right) as well as secret character door levels.

### Parenthesis ( ) display which characters are used for that level and safe characters if desired.

### Brackets [ ] resemble which levels will have a bad load and difficulty selection (levels without an indicated difficulty are played on Easy).
