The contest will be explained more by the announcer, so you can read about it then.
Chapter 1: Round 1
All of the smashers nervously waited on the bleachers as the announcer stood in the middle.
"This--"
"I DON'T GET IT!" shouted Kirby.
The announcer ignored this before anything was started. Yoshi pulled out a notebook and began to take notes.
"This tournament is complex. There's a mountain--"
"Complex?" shrieked Young Link. "How is a mountain supposed to be complex? Just tell me. Just answer that."
"Mountains--"
"There's tons of mountains! That doesn't even explain the tournament!"
There was a long silence as the announcer tried to retain his anger.
"There's a giant mountain called 'Icicle Mountain' that each team will be climbing up. After—"
"What was the answer to number three?" asked Yoshi, looking up from his notebook. "Sorry, I missed that part."
The announcer clenched his fists. "After each round your team wins, you will climb higher up the mountain. The team at the top of the mountain wins! Now to assign the teams:
Team one: Kirby, Yoshi, Ganondorf, and Dr. Mario.
Team two: Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, Link, and Young Link."
"I'm already in team one," said Ganondorf."
"There's a guillotine over there. Team three:"
"No, you can't split me in half. I can't be two people at once."
"Your other team mates manage," said the announcer, and Link and Young Link nodded. "Oh well, complain...
Team two: Pikachu, Mr. Game and Watch, Link, and Young Link.
Team three: Donkey Kong, Bowser, Luigi, and Samus."
The list went on and on until it finally came to an end.
"Team sixteen: Mario, red Pikmin, blue Pikmin, and yellow Pikmin."
"They're not smashers!" Mario yelled, surprised by his incredibly weak team as the three Pikmin looked up at Mario.
"All right, time for round one! Let's go to Icicle Mountain!"
They all arrived at Icicle Mountain.
"All right, we'll start with team fifteen and sixteen."
Pichu, Zelda, Mewtwo, and Roy stepped up to the field with Mario and the three original Pikmin.
"The rules of this match are survival. Whichever member has all of their team members killed first loses. All you have to do is dodge fire falling from the sky. Start!"
Fire began falling at his command. The first stroke of fire fell towards Mario's team. The yellow Pikmin grabbed the red Pikmin's arm and jumped up incredibly high, and then tossed the red Pikmin toward the fire. The red Pikmin collided with it and stopped it. The blue Pikmin sat there. The next stroke of fire fell towards Mario, who rolled out of the way. The stroke of fire promptly stopped, changed angle in mid-air and fired itself at Mario, who burned up.
Another stroke of fire fell towards the other team, and burned them all instantly. They all fell of the mountain at the lowest point.
"You lose!" cried the announcer. They all went home and the announcer called up the next team.
If you want to picture the announcer as he was in SSBM TECHNIQUES AND MOVES then you can, but you can picture him however you want to, it doesn't really matter.
