Remember Coin Battle? So does Sakurai, today he talks about how it’ll be integrated into one of the game’s events among other things:

 

It’s Past Your Bedtime sets up another predetermined situation for a single-player Event. In this one, Jigglypuff needs to put every fighter to sleep at the same time. There are quite a few scenarios like this that aren’t simply brawls.
