Do you have any idea what this is? I didn't until just a few minutes ago! This is a Melee event disc from Japan. It let players play 2, 3 or 5 minute matches. Seems like it was something stores used for promotional purposes and tournaments in-store.

This is just one of the many random items that Nintendo put out for Smash Bros. Melee back in the day. If you want to see more of what Japan had to offer, both to the public and specifically for retail promotions, check out this Source Gaming feature here.
