Have you ever tried to shoot all 190 names in Super Smash Bros. Melee credits sequence? Haven't we all.
Apparently, up until a few days ago, nobody had ever got a perfect run. Now, though, one guy by the name of Martin Zarate has achieved this seemingly impossible feat (see 0:00 - 1:20 in the video above).
Speaking to Polygon, Zarate revealed it took him around 50 hours of practice to achieve. It all began when an individual by the name of Nathaniel Bandy put out a call to the community to hit every credit before 31st March 2021 - with the reward being $3,000.
One requirement was for it to be recorded so everyone could see the controller inputs. Sure enough, Zarate did it.
“The most challenging part would be the voice actors, they come in all different directions and there is no room for error. After you get the hardest part of the credits, you gonna stay composed and hit the rest.”
The last highest score on the record before this was 182, which was achieved way back in 2007. Are you as impressed as we are with this run? Leave a comment down below.

You did it. You crazy son of a gun, you did it.
I’m impressed!!!! At the waste of time. Lol.
Hope they unlocked Toad
I honestly thought it was impossible.
@Kobeskillz Is it really a waste of time if he earns $3,000 for it?
And people complain there is nothing to do during the pandemic! lol
Love the March 31 deadline
Now I know my dream to get all the freaken targets are true.
@Kobeskillz
If you had fun, learned or improved something the Time is never wasted.
Should have gotten an mystic trophy, final achievement or something in that vein.
im so impressed lol. it was like watching an auto aim at work
@Kobeskillz earning 3000$ at 50 hours is not bad at all
60$ an hour
I don't know why I watched all of that.
I don't know what I was expecting.
If there's 190 names, why does the video show 181 hits at the end?
You have to give him a little credit.
But he missed at 3:28?
There should be a secret unlock for doing so. Like Sonic or Toad or something.
This video wasnt perfect, though. He missed several names
@Kobeskillz 3000 dollars though
Impressive. I wonder, has anyone's been able to do the same in Brawl?
@NorseGamerTommy @Subtle24 There are 2 runs in the video. Look at the run that ends around 1m20. Usually videos end with the perfect run but not this one.
absolutely amazing !
People need to learn to read the articles and watch the videos (fully) before commenting.
Did he unlock Toad though
I remember trying to do this a few times and failing. This was back in the days when I didn't realise the rest of the world also couldn't do it, so I feel better about it now.
@ExHalE That was the second run, he hit them all the first time. Not sure why he recorded a second go at it, maybe he wanted to see if he could get all of them twice in a row
@TheAwesomeBowser hahaha
@Enigk Oh, okay. I just saw someone else's comment and jumped to that timestamp
@NorseGamerTommy I jumped to the middle and saw that he wasn't shooting anymore so went back a bit. Didn't realise there was anything at the end until I saw the comments.
And he didn't even unlock toad 😔
This must have happened before...
right?!?
@Kobeskillz 3000 USD in 50 hours of work, or 60 USD per hour. Not a bad chunk of change.
@Eddyson
Surely, I see this more as “it’s taken 20 years for video proof to be shown.”
"You teach me and I'll teach you!"
Imagine if doing this unlocked a character that had remained unknown for all this time. ^^
@Azuris Or made $3000 as well. Definitely not time wasted.
@Kobeskillz Not if he got 3k for it, thats 60 bucks an hour right there.
Ever heard of Super Smash Bros. Melee? It's an awesome rail shooter where you shoot names as they appear.
@TheAwesomeBowser I kinda want to cry..we have all tried...
@Enigk That's what I get for skipping the middle 😅
-"What are you this excited about?"
-"Oh I just managed to shoot all the voice actors coming in from different angles all at once, and the entire cast of SMBM!"
-"That sounds... Questionable."
@Kobeskillz it's okay. We all know that you're jealous that he earned $3000 doing that. You can be honest, lil buddy.
@G_M yes and no. Yes cause it’s well needed money but no cause that must of been a pain!!! 😂
