Demo booths were set up for attendees to play Super Smash Bros. before and after the wrestling match.

The main event was a seventeen minute wrestling match between four  members (who also choregraphed the performance) wearing costumes of Donkey Kong (whose nickname for Slamfest '99 is unknown due to his profile not being archived), Mario (nicknamed The Italian Stallion), Pikachu (nicknamed The Beast from the Far East), and Yoshi (nicknamed The Dinosaur of Disaster). At some point, the referee became involved in the fight and bit Pikachu's ear, claiming it tasted like chicken. It ended with all four wrestlers crashing into each other and knocking themselves out, leading to the referee announcing everybody as the winner.

A search for video footage of Slamfest '99 has been ongoing since 2020.
