Each character has a unique stage that has ten platforms of various sizes. The objective is to land on each of the ten platforms in the least amount of time possible. Some platforms move while others must be jumped on with the correct timing or the player gets damaged.

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 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%. | ||

Besides the default Free-for-all mode in which players fight each other, there are also team battles. Players can divide into up to three teams and fight against the other team(s). Also, lives are shared, so if one player is eliminated from a team, given that another team mate has 2 or more lives remaining, the eliminated player can recover by borrowing one ally's life by pressing the {{button|n64|Start}}. Teams are distinguished by costume color of each player, which is either red, green, or blue. | Besides the default Free-for-all mode in which players fight each other, there are also team battles.

''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> | ''Super Smash Bros.'' was developed by [[HAL Laboratory]], a Nintendo second-party developer, during 1998.
