Miscellaneous ----------------------------------------- 1. Introduction to Break the Targets ----------------------------------------- The objective in Break the Targets is to break 10 targets which are placed in specific places throughout a level as fast as possible. Each character has a different level, and targets in some levels do different things. Some bounce off of walls, some move in a specific pattern such as up and down or left and right, and some are just stationary. As your total time gets lower, you'll earn rewards for your accomplishments, explained in the next section. This guide will help you get those trophies easily, and you'll have some bragging rights over your friends. ---------------------------------------------- 2. Rewards Attained From Break the targets ---------------------------------------------- Note: All levels must be completed in the Stadium Mode under 1 Player. Completing all of the Break the Targets- Target Trophy Completing all of the Break the Targets- Mr. Game and Watch Completing all of the Break the Targets- Past Stages: Dream Land Having a total under 25 minutes- Lon Lon Milk Trophy Having a total under 12.5 minutes- Sheriff Trophy -------------------------- 3. What is L cancelling? -------------------------- L cancelling is pressing L right before you land. I'll use a good example to make it clear. Let's say you're playing a melee match as Link. You're in the air, and you use your down A attack. When you land, you are vulnerable to attacks while you stand there pulling your sword out of the ground. If you press L right before you land, he will pull it out much quicker and you can run, walk, jump, sheild, etc., almost instantly after you land. This is used in BtT because it makes you recover quicker and you can continue on to the next target right away. In several of the strategies, I have mentioned that you need to L cancel. Just practice it a bit and you will be able to do it right every time. ---------------------------- 4. Character Strategies ---------------------------- a) Dr. Mario ----------------- 1. Double jump and land on the lowest moving gray platform. Double jump again and Up A the target above you. 2. Land on the second moving gray platform. Double jump up to the third moving gray platform. Double jump up to the highest moving gray platform, and right before you land, throw a pill to the right. It should bounce off the third gray platform and hit the target along the right wall. 3. Turn left. Double jump to the left and forward A the target at the top left corner of the level. 4. Fast fall and back A the target below you. 5. Land on the second moving gray platform that is just about to go in. Quickly throw a pill to the left to hit the target at the bottom left. Right after you throw the pill, the gray platform will come out from under you and you will start falling. These next 3 steps are the hardest part: 6. Fall towards the right, double jump, and land on the blue 8 that is above where you start. Run to the right and jump. Throw a pill to the right and have it hit the target in the backwards C. 7. Double jump to the top of the backwards C. Tap left, wait a very small fraction of a second, and press B to shoot a pill to the left and have it hit the target below where you start. If you dont wait that fraction of a second before you press B, you will accidentally do a forward B to the left instead of a regular B attack. You should have landed on the very right edge so you slide off as you throw the second pill. 8. Double jump and Up B to hit the target below the gray platform and land on it. 9. Facing left, stand on the right side of the gray platform you are on. When the platform gets about half way up, jump and press B. The pill will bounce off the very edge of the platform you are above and hit the target against the wall to your left. 10. Land, turn right, double jump, and Up B to hit the last target. b) Mario ------------- 1. Turn left and quickly press B to hit the target at the bottom left with a fireball. 2. Run off the right side, passing a target you will get later, double jump to the right, and forward B target 2 through the small wall hanging down. 3,4. Fall to the right and forward B to hit both of the next targets at the same time. 5. Fall towards the left so you can press B when you land to hit the target at the bottom right. 6. Turn to the left, double jump, and Up B to hit the target you passed earlier. 7. Run to the left, double jump, and land on the gray platform that youll just be able to make it on to.

Fall to the left of the gray platform you were on and throw a fireball though the thin hole when you get to it. 9. Fall to the right and onto the gray platform below the one you were on before. Jump to the right and forward B the target through the wall. 10. Double jump to the right, and when your head is at the ceiling, throw a fireball to hit the last target. c) Luigi ------------- 1. Wait for a fraction of a second until the bumper above your head passes, then jump up and to the right and fireball the target at the top right. 2,3. Immediately fast fall and press A to hit the 2 target that will be together below you. 4. Before you land, kick the target in the bottom right corner. 5,6,7. Slam the analog stick to the left and do a running A attack to hit 3 targets: the one that bounces fast up and down across the level, and the 2 that are bow next to each other above the hold in the ground. 8. Jump to the left and forward A the target in front of you. 9,10. Double jump and Up B to hit the target near you and the one above that. d) Bowser -------------- 1,2,3.

Right after you land jump once and land on the first step. Double jump to the right to land on the third step. Now double jump to the right and over the small wall sticking up. Fast fall while doing a down A to hit the next 2 targets. 10. L cancel when you land and slide off the right side. Use your double jump in the air and forward B through the wall. e) Peach ------------- Note: If done correctly, you will be able to get these first 4 targets without landing on the moving platform below. 1. Jump up and to the left and left kick the target up and to the left. 2. Fall to the left. Do your double jump and right A through the wall to hit the target through it. 3. Right when you get below the floor that you start on, hold X or Y to float over to the right, forward A the target above and to the right of the moving platform, float back, and... 4.

Press B to break out of the egg after you hit target 6. Run to the left a bit and do a stationary A in the air. 8,9. After the stationary A, you shouldnt land, but your momentum should carry you to the left over the wall. Since you are facing left, fall against the wall and do a back A to hit the target on the other side of the wall and the one below you. 10. Double jump to the left and still facing left, do an Up B, but hold backwards a bit, so the egg hits the target in the backwards C. g) DK ---------- 1,2. Do a down B to hit the two targets next to you. 3. Wait a fraction of a second until DK stops. Run to the left, do a full jump, then double jump and Up B very soon after.

As you are travelling up the chute, the two top right targets should be hit with the boomerang. If not, start the level over.
