'''''Super Smash Bros.''''' (known in Japan as '''''Nintendo All-Star! Dairantō Smash Brothers''''' ニンテンドーオールスター！ 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ) is a fighting game and the first installment in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. It was released for the [[Nintendo 64]] and created by [[Nintendo]] and [[HAL Laboratory]]. Players must defeat their opponents multiple times in a fighting frenzy of items and power-ups, a unique health system, and on a variety of Nintendo-themed stages.

 

Although ''Super Smash Bros.'' is not a part of the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise, the game is heavily influenced by said franchise, more so than any other Nintendo franchise.

''Super Smash Brothers'' has a considerably different fighting style than other fighting games. Rather than each player having a life gauge that begins full and gradually decreases with each attack taken, ''Super Smash Brothers'' has a unique system. Players starts at 0% damage and with each hit they take, the percentage rises depending on how powerful the attack is. As players' percentage gets higher, players are blown further away with each attack. The objective of the game is to knock out opponents from the screen so they cannot return to the stage or knocking out opponents so hard, opponents turn into a star. Getting defeated by an opponent is called a "TKO". In time mode, this results in a loss of one point, while in stock mode, this counts as a loss of one life. Players regenerate on a descending floating platform at the center of the stage, unless they have no lives left. Players can exit by either moving, jumping, or waiting a few seconds. Players are invincible for a short amount of time after they exit the platform.  

Below are specific rules and differences between the two fighting modes: Time and Stock.

In Time mode, TKOs count as one negative point for players that are knocked out of the screen. Players that caused them to fall receives one positive point and is recorded as a "KO". If a player accidentally or intentionally falls off the stage without being influenced by other players, or if the player hits a wall before being KO'd, the player loses one point while nobody gains a point. At the end of the time period, a player that has the most points is declared the winner.

If there is a tie, then the match will go to [[Sudden Death]]. The tied players have a quick stock battle with one life, starting with 300% damage, which will usually cause an instant KO when hit. Also, after a certain time, Bob-ombs start falling at random places on the stage, making survival more difficult. The winner of Sudden Death wins the match.

In stock mode, there is still a point system, but wins are focused on number of lives left. Each player begins with a set amount of [[Extra life|lives]]. Each time a player is defeated, he or she loses one life. Unlike Time mode, the number of KOs are irrelevant to the results because it is a game of survival unless it is a team match. This also means that matches could theoretically be endless.  

Players can fight alone or in teams. Allies usually cannot be hurt by other teammates unless team attack is turned on. Also, if players manage to defeat an ally, they get a point while the ally loses a point, unlike in the succeeding games where both teammates lose a point. If a team wins, players in the team with the most KOs gets the first place honor.

''Super Smash Bros.'' features 12 playable characters from various Nintendo franchises, eight being default and four of them unlockable.

Of the roster, there are four characters from the Mario franchise: [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Yoshi]].

! width=68% | Description

| align=center | [[Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros.)|Peach's Castle]]

| A stage with one large platform, two mid-air sloped platforms at the side, and a moving platform towards the bottom. There are two bumpers in the upper right and left-hand corners of the stage. The challenger match against Luigi takes place here.

![[File:Congojungle.jpg|100px]]

| align=center | [[Kongo Jungle (Super Smash Bros.)|Congo Jungle]]

| A stage sloped towards the middle, with platforms on either side. There is also a [[Barrel Cannon]] moving side to side at the bottom of the stage. If players are to fall into it, the barrel would start rotating and the players press the {{button|N64|A}} button, they can launch in whichever direction the arrow is pointing. This stage is the home stage of Donkey Kong.

| align=center | [[Hyrule Castle]]

| A very long stage, and the first stage of the single-player mode. It does not have many gimmicks, except for a whirlwind that appears every 30 seconds. The tornado sends players flying with a percent cost, and it can turn unlucky players into stars depending on the location and percent. The tornadoes appear in 4 places in this stage. This stage is the home stage of Link.

| align=center | [[Planet Zebes]]

| A small stage that is easy to get blasted off of. The only other feature is the acid, that rises up about every 30 seconds. The acid hurts players and knocks the player out of the stage if the percent is high enough. The acid also makes it nearly impossible to score a KO in the bottom part of the stage. This stage is the home stage of Samus. Also, the challenger match against Captain Falcon takes place here, as the game features no stages from the ''F-Zero'' series.

| align=center | [[Super Happy Tree (stage)|Yoshi's Island]]

| A stage slightly sloped on either side, meant to look like a book. There are also three mid-air platforms, two of which are also slanted. Clouds on the sides of the course can be stood on, but they will disappear if the player stays on the platform for a period of time. This stage is the home stage of Yoshi.

| align=center | [[Dream Land (Super Smash Bros.)|Dream Land]]

| A flat stage, with [[Whispy Woods]] at the center. Whispy sometimes blows air that pushes players in the direction he is facing. This stage is the home stage of Kirby. Also, the challenger match against Ness takes place here, as the game features no stages from the ''EarthBound'' series.

| align=center | [[Sector Z]]

| A very large stage, set on the [[Great Fox]]. Occasionally, an Arwing enters the screen and fires blasts of beams at the players. The stage is the largest of the game, considering the length of the blast lines. This stage is the home stage of Fox.

| align=center | [[Saffron City]]

| A large stage that features the most gimmicks. It is the home stage of Pikachu and Jigglypuff, and the challenger match against Jigglypuff takes place on this stage. Various Pokémon emerge from the building in the middle, having effects on gameplay.

====One-player Game====

In single-player mode, before a player starts the game, a character, difficulty level, and number of lives is selected. The difficulty levels range from Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard, to Very Hard. The number of lives can be set anywhere from one to five lives. The number of lives carries over from the previous match, which means any lost lives are not restored each level. Once the player loses all lives, they can choose to continue, but will have their current score cut in half. Alternatively, they can quit, which will result in a [[Game Over]].

 

All stages work with the stock system and opponents and allies have one life each. There is a time limit of five minutes per match, but players can choose to disable it. If in the case the player runs out of time in a level with the exception of Bonus Stages, they will go to the Continue screen (as if they had lost all of their lives), regardless of the number of lives the player had remaining.

! colspan=2 style="background:orange" | <big>One-player Game Stages</big><br>

! width=15% | Stage 1

| The player fights [[Link]] at [[Hyrule Castle]].

! Stage 2  

| The player fights a team of 18 [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] in [[Super Happy Tree (stage)|Yoshi's Island]]. The player fights three Yoshis at a time. When one is defeated, another one will take its place, until all are defeated.

! Stage 3

| The player fights [[Fox McCloud|Fox]] in [[Sector Z]].

! Bonus Stage 1

| [[Break the Targets!]] The player has to hit the 10 [[target]]s within a time limit of 2 minutes. Each character has a different arena for his target test. Dying in the target test causes the failure of the test, but not the loss of a life.

! Stage 4

| The player fights [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] on [[Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros.)|Peach's Castle]]. The player also gets a randomly chosen ally.

! Stage 5

| The player fights [[Pikachu]] in [[Saffron City]].

! Stage 6

| The player fights [[Giant Donkey Kong]] in [[Kongo Jungle (Super Smash Bros.)|Kongo Jungle]]. The player gets two randomly chosen allies.

! Bonus Stage 2

| [[Board the Platforms!]] The player has to land on all 10 platforms within 2 minutes. It is similar to Break the Targets!!; the player can get KO'd and fail the test, but it doesn't constitute towards the loss of a life.

! Stage 7

| The player fights a team of 8 [[Kirby]]s in [[Dream Land (Super Smash Bros.)|Dream Land]]. Seven of them already have abilities from the other 7 default characters. The last one is either the regular Kirby or one with an ability of one unlockable character. The player fights two at a time.

! Stage 8

| The player fights [[Samus]] on [[Planet Zebes]].

! Stage 9

| The player fights [[Metal Mario (character)|Metal Mario]] at [[Meta Crystal]].

! Bonus Stage 3

| [[Race to the Finish!]] The player has to reach the white door at the end while avoiding three [[Fighting Polygons]], bombs, and bumpers within one minute. Like the two previous bonus stages, failure does not result in the loss of a life.

! Stage 10

| The player fights a team of 30 [[Fighting Polygons]] on the [[Battlefield]] stage. The polygons are fought three at a time.

! Final Stage

| The player fights [[Master Hand]]. Unlike the player, the Master Hand does not have a percentage of damage, but 300 hit points. The battle takes place on [[Final Destination]].

Training mode is, as the name suggests, a mode primarily used to practice and simulate battles for improving skills or for beginners to learn controls and moves. There is no time limit or a set number of lives, and whatever happens in Training mode is not recorded.  

 

Unlike later ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, the computer player cannot be controlled using a controller, and only one computer player can be present at a time.

=====[[Board the Platforms!]]=====

 

=====[[Break the Targets!]]=====

Similarly to Board the Platforms, Break the Targets has a unique stage for each player. The objective in this game is to break ten targets placed throughout the stage by hitting them with an attack. Like Board the Platforms, some targets move, while others are stationary. There are no extra lives, so once a player falls, the trial is a failure, and the player will be brought back to the character selection screen.  

In VS. mode, the player can pick up to four fighters to fight in a battle. A fighter selection screen is seen, and the players are able to pick which fighter they want. They can also select the costume color for each character. The player is also able to set rules for this match; in a [[#Time|time match]], the player can pick the amount of time that can be played, and in a [[#Stock|stock match]], the players can pick the amount of the lives they and the computers have. Also, after playing a certain number of VS. matches, players can choose which items will appear during matches (not in an order, as they are picked randomly). There's also a handicap setting, which allows human players to adjust their attack power and knockback resistance. The damage setting allows players to adjust how quickly fighters can get KO'd at low damage; ranging from a minimum of 50%, to a maximum of 200%.

In the options mode, players can adjust a few game settings. They can adjust the sound to be mono or stereo. ''Super Smash Bros.'' is currently the only game in the series where players cannot adjust the music or sound effects volume. The next option is screen adjusting. ''Super Smash Bros.'' is also the only game in the series to have this option. The next option is the backup clear, which removes the game's data, which cannot be restored. In the European version, there is an additional option for changing the game's language to English, French or German.

[[File:StarFoxRecords.png|thumb|The VS. record of Fox.]]

The last of the records is the unlockable Sound Test. Players can hear sound effects, voices, and/or music from the game. Players can unlock the Sound Test by completing both Break the Targets and Board the Platforms with all characters. {{br}}

''Super Smash Bros.'' received mostly positive reviews, with criticism mostly directed towards the game's single-player mode. <ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/n64/action/supersmashbros/review.html Gamespot Super Smash Bros. Review]</ref> GameSpot's former editorial director, Jeff Gerstmann, noted the single-player game "won't exactly last a long time". <ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/n64/action/supersmashbros/review.html Gamespot Super Smash Bros. Review]</ref> Instead, he praised the multi-player portion of the game, saying that it is "extremely simple to learn".<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/n64/action/supersmashbros/review.html Gamespot Super Smash Bros. Review]</ref> He also praised the game's music, calling it "amazing". GameCritics.com's Dale Weir described ''Super Smash Bros.'' as "the most original fighting game on the market and possibly the best multiplayer game on any system"<ref>[http://www.gamecritics.com/review/smashbros/main.php GameCritics.com Super Smash Bros. Review]</ref>. There were criticisms, however, such as the game's scoring being difficult to follow. In addition, the single-player mode was criticized for its perceived difficulty and lack of features. It was deemed one of the ten best Mario games of all time by ScrewAttack from GameTrailers. <ref>[http://www.gametrailers.com/player/22754.html ScrewAttack - Top 10 Mario Games]</ref> It was given an Editors' choice award from IGN. <ref>[http://ign64.ign.com/articles/160/160494p1.html IGN.com - Smash Bros Review Nintendo 64]</ref>

''Super Smash Bros.'' was commercially successful, and quickly became a [[Player's Choice]] title. ''Super Smash Bros.'' is the fifth best selling game for the [[Nintendo 64]], selling 5.55 million copies worldwide; 1.97 million copies were sold in Japan, 2.93 million have been sold in North America, and 650,000 have been sold elsewhere, as of December 31, 2009. <ref>[http://www.vgchartz.com/platform/10/nintendo-64/]</ref>

''Super Smash Bros.'' was developed by [[HAL Laboratory]], a Nintendo second-party developer, during 1998. It began life as a prototype created by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] and [[Satoru Iwata]] in their spare time entitled 'Kakuto-Gēmu Ryūō' (格闘ゲーム竜王 ?, lit. "Dragon King: The Fighting Game"), and originally featured no Nintendo characters. However, Iwata hit on the idea of including fighters from different Nintendo franchises in order to provide "atmosphere" which he felt was necessary for a home console fighting game, and their idea was approved. The game had a small budget and little promotion, and was originally a Japan-only release, but its huge success saw the game released worldwide.<ref>http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol7_page1.jsp Iwata Asks: Super Smash Bros. Brawl</ref>

==Bonuses==

{{main-external|SmashWiki|List of bonuses#Super Smash Bros.}}

''Super Smash Bros''. features many special bonuses the player can receive after completing a certain type of task. Note that unlike ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', these bonuses cannot be gained in multiplayer matches, only in single-player mode. Bonuses are not required to achieve, but are purely for high-score setting purposes. Earning all bonuses in this game does not earn the player any reward of some sort, and no list is kept in the game when a bonus is achieved.

[[Bowser]],  [[Mewtwo]], and [[King Dedede]] were planned as playable characters, but they were cut.<ref>http://games.yahoo.co.jp/qa/detail?qid=1090755405</ref> [[Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros.)|Peach's Castle]] initially lacked the sign, bridge and sliding stone block present in the final version.

File:SmashBetaPeachCastle.jpg|Early version of Peach's castle.

==Glitches==

===Black hole glitch===

All 4 players must be Link. At Hyrule Castle (or any place with a straight wall), all four Links should walk to the right, fall into the place with the canopy, and run left against the wall so they are inside each other. Then let the game push them all apart. After this, all 4 Links must simultaneously throw bombs upwards weakly, quickly. After just a few throws, the bombs will hit each other and continuously stay, trapping the players within.

Only 2 players are required for this glitch. One should be Ness, and the other should be Fox. Choose a stage with a direct line between Ness and Fox (ideally, Hyrule Castle or Sector Z). PK Thunder against Fox's reflector so that the PK Thunder is in direct line back to Ness, and quickly bat the PK Thunder away. The thunder should have 2 tails, and if it reaches the edge of the screen, the game can't handle it and will freeze.

===3D Glitch===

The player must be Mario or Luigi and go to the Hyrule Castle (or any stage with a straight wall) and keep rolling into it. If the player does it correctly, Mario or Luigi should move toward the screen or away from the screen, giving the game a 3D effect.

*''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': One of Mario's alternate costumes is based his original outfit. Also, one of Donkey Kong's alternate costumes is based on the color scheme of his sprite. In addition, although not in the game itself, the ''Nintendo Power'' ad for the game indirectly alludes to Mario and Donkey Kong's origins as rivals by mentioning off-handedly that Mario and Donkey Kong have not "duked it out" for more than a decade.

*''[[Super Mario World]]'': Luigi's default costume is based on the color scheme of his sprite. Also, in addition to the Green Yoshi being Yoshi's default costume, three of Yoshi's alternate costumes are the Red, Yellow and Blue Yoshis.

*''[[Mario Party]]'': Although not in the game itself, the Nintendo Power ad when announcing ''Super Smash Bros'' alludes to ''Mario Party'' when stating that Nintendo's famous cast had previously "partied heartily" when announcing their new role in the fighting ring.

*''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'': Donkey Kong's default costume is based on his appearance in this game. Also, the [[Kongo Jungle (Super Smash Bros.)|Kongo Jungle]] stage is based on this game. His 1P Mode ending also was taken directly from the stock art for ''Donkey Kong Country''.

*''[[Super Mario 64]]'': Mario's moves and voice clips were taken from ''Super Mario 64''. Although Luigi was absent in ''Super Mario 64'', his moves and voice clips are identical to Mario's, but sped up. Also, Mario's default costume is based on his outfit in this game and the [[Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros.)|Peach's Castle]] stage is based on this game.

 

* ''Super Smash Bros.'' is the only game in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series to receive an ESRB rating of E for Everyone.
