My Insane History With SSBM (Super Smash Bros Melee)

SSBM Notes

(For context, I had 250+ trophies on my original memory card, which got stolen in the summer of 2003. So I tore through this game when I picked it up again. I still occasionally return to it for goals I've yet to achieve.

I have 285 out of 290 trophies, but I'm still missing the Giga Bowser trophy. The others - Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Sheriff and Diskun - seem completely out of reach, but you never know.)
