The Super Smash Bros. series is a crossover series of multiplayer games in which many well-known Nintendo characters are pitted against each other to fight, with each character using their unique abilities in battle. The games are among Nintendo's best selling games, not only for being one of Nintendo's few fighting games, but also for being a mass crossover of many Nintendo franchises; they are also known to attract both casual and competitive players, with game modes and official Nintendo events accommodating different types of play. Although the Western title for the series appears to be a play on the title of Super Mario Bros., Super Smash Bros. is a standalone crossover franchise that is not part of the Super Mario franchise, although Super Mario is among the more heavily represented franchises in the series.

Along with Mario, many different characters from different franchises appear as fighters throughout the series. These include Link from The Legend of Zelda series, Pikachu from the Pokémon series, Kirby from the Kirby series, Ness from the EarthBound series, and many more. Besides the diverse lineup of fighters, Super Smash Bros. has numerous non-playable references to Nintendo history, such as the roster of stages in the series, themed around locations from past Nintendo games. In addition to the Nintendo-related content, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and subsequent installments introduce a number of third-party guest fighters. While these guest fighters include mascot characters that have appeared in prior crossovers with the Super Mario franchise, such as Sonic and Pac-Man, they also include characters from more "realistic" and adult-oriented franchises, such as Solid Snake from the Metal Gear franchise and Bayonetta from her self-titled series. With its large, diverse roster of characters that range from the familiar to the obscure, the Super Smash Bros. series serves as a gateway to Nintendo's vast library of franchises, with the games often boosting the popularity and public image of lesser-known series such as Metroid, Kid Icarus, and Fire Emblem.^{[citation needed]}

Masahiro Sakurai has directed all games in the series, the latest being Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The series has become one of the quickest-selling and most popular in Nintendo's history, with Super Smash Bros. Melee being the best-selling Nintendo GameCube game, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate being the best-selling fighting game of all time.

List of games

Title
Cover, original release, and system	Synopsis
Super Smash Bros.
January 21, 1999 Nintendo 64	Super Smash Bros. is the first installment in the Super Smash Bros. series, introduced in 1999 for the Nintendo 64. The game features eight characters from the start, with four unlockable characters, all of them created by Nintendo or one of its second-party developers. Up to four people can play in multiplayer (Versus) mode, with the specific rules of each match being predetermined by the players. There are two different types that can be chosen: Time, where the person with the most KOs at the end of the set time wins; and stock, where each person has a set amount of lives, and when they are gone, the player is eliminated. This game's one-player mode included one adventure mode that always followed the same series of opponents although the player could change the difficulty. Other single player modes exist such as Training and several mini-games, including "Break the Targets" and "Board the Platforms". All of these were included in the sequel, with the exception of "Board the Platforms". There are nine playable stages in Versus mode, eight based on each of the starting characters (including Princess Peach's Castle for Mario, Yoshi's Island for Yoshi, and Congo Jungle for Donkey Kong). The only unlockable stage, Mushroom Kingdom, is based around motifs from Super Mario Bros.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
November 21, 2001 Nintendo GameCube	Super Smash Bros. Melee is the second installment in the Super Smash Bros. series, released in 2001 for the Nintendo GameCube. It had a larger budget and development team than Super Smash Bros. did and was released to much greater praise and acclaim among critics and consumers. Since its release, Super Smash Bros. Melee has sold more than 7 million copies and was the best-selling game on the Nintendo GameCube. Super Smash Bros. Melee features 26 characters, of which 15 are available initially, more than doubling the number of characters in its predecessor. There are also 29 stages. It introduced two new single-player modes alongside the Classic mode: Adventure Mode, and All-Star Mode. Adventure mode has platforming segments similar to the original's "Race to the Finish" mini-game, and All-Star is a fight against every playable character in the game, allows the player only one life in which damage is accumulated over each battle and a limited number of heal items in between battles. There are also significantly more multiplayer modes and a tournament mode allowing for 64 different competitors whom can all be controlled by a human player, although only up to four players can participate at the same time. Additionally, the game features alternative battle modes, called "Special Melee", which involve some sort of alteration to the battle (e.g. all characters are giant by default, the speed is faster than normal, etc.), along with alternative ways to judge a victory, such as through collecting coins throughout the match. In place of Super Smash Bros.'s character profiles, Super Smash Bros. Melee introduced trophies (called "figures" in the Japanese version). The 293 trophies include three different profiles for each playable character, one unlocked in each single-player mode. In addition, unlike its predecessor, Super Smash Bros. Melee contains profiles for many Nintendo characters who are either non-playable or do not appear in the game, as well as Nintendo items, stages, enemies, and elements.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
January 31, 2008 Wii	Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the third installment in the Super Smash Bros. series, released in 2008 for the Wii. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is also the first game in the franchise to support online play, via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and offers the ability for players to construct their own original stages. The game features a total of 39 playable characters and 41 stages. Super Smash Bros. Brawl also features compatibility with four kinds of controllers (the Wii Remote on its side, the Wii Remote and Nunchuk combination, the Classic Controller, and the Nintendo GameCube controller), while its predecessors only used the one controller designed for that system. The player also has the ability to change the configuration of controls and the controller type. Super Smash Bros. Brawl features a new Adventure Mode titled "The Subspace Emissary". This mode features unique character storylines along with numerous side scrolling levels and multiple bosses to fight, as well as CG cut scenes explaining the storyline. The Subspace Emissary features a new group of antagonists called the Subspace Army, who are led by the Ancient Minister. Some of these enemy characters appeared in previous Nintendo games, such as Petey Piranha from the Super Mario franchise and a squadron of R.O.B.s based on classic Nintendo hardware. The Subspace Emissary also boasts a number of original enemies, such as Primids, robot enemies appearing in several variations. Though primarily a single-player mode, The Subspace Emissary allows for cooperative multiplayer. There are five difficulty levels for each stage, and there is a method of increasing characters' powers during the game. This is done by placing collected stickers onto the bottom of a character's trophy between stages to improve various aspects of a fighter. For the first time, Super Smash Bros. Brawl adds a few third-party fighters to the roster, Sonic and Snake.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
September 13, 2014 Nintendo 3DS November 21, 2014 Wii U	Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U are the fourth and fifth games in the Super Smash Bros. series (however, they are both commonly thought of as the joint fourth installment).

Gameplay

A 4-player battle at Final Destination between Bowser Jr., Pit, Jigglypuff, and Dr. Mario.

The series has a completely different gameplay compared to fighting games such as Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. Instead of making an opponent lose all of their HP, players have to knock opponents off a stage. When a character gets attacked, their damage meter (represented by percentage) increases by up to 999%, and the higher the percentage is, the easier it is to knock an opponent off the stage.

After being knocked off, a player can use jumping moves to try to return to the stage.

The Super Smash Bros. series has simple controls. Basic attacks are done through the A button, and special attacks are done through the B button, with the move used being determined by the Control Stick. Players can also shield with the trigger buttons and grab opponents with anther trigger button or by shielding and pressing an attack button. Starting with Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the buttons can be remapped.

-The '''''Super Smash Bros.'' series''' is a series of fighting games where figurines of [[Nintendo]] characters known as "[[Trophy|trophies]]" come to life and fight. [[Mario]], as well as some of his friends, are playable in all of the series’ games. The games are very popular, not only for being one of Nintendo's few fighting games, but also being a mass cross-over of many of the popular Nintendo Series. This includes [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]], [[Pokémon|''Pokémon'' series]], ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, ''Metroid'' series, ''Kirby '' series, and many more. It also has numerous character cameos, as well as the reintroduction of many locations. It has become the quickest selling, and one of the most popular series in Nintendo history. ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' is the best-selling game for the GameCube. [[Masahiro Sakurai]] has directed all three games.
+The '''''Super Smash Bros.''''' series is a crossover series of multiplayer games in which many well-known [[Nintendo]] characters are pitted against each other to fight, with each character using their unique abilities in battle. The games are among Nintendo's best selling games, not only for being one of Nintendo's few fighting games, but also for being a mass crossover of many Nintendo franchises; they are also known to attract both casual and competitive players, with game modes and official Nintendo events accommodating different types of play. Although the {{wp|Western world|Western}} title for the series appears to be a play on the title of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''Super Smash Bros.'' is a standalone crossover franchise that is not part of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], although ''Super Mario'' is among the more heavily represented franchises in the series.
-==Games in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
+Along with [[Mario]], many different characters from different franchises appear as fighters throughout the series. These include  [[Link]] from [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'']] series, [[bulbapedia:Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]] from the [[bulbapedia:Pokémon|''Pokémon'']] series, [[Kirby]] from the ''[[wikirby:Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series, [[Ness]] from the ''[[wikibound:EarthBound (series)|EarthBound]]'' series, and many more. Besides the diverse lineup of fighters, ''Super Smash Bros.'' has numerous non-playable references to Nintendo history, such as the roster of stages in the series, themed around locations from past Nintendo games. In addition to the Nintendo-related content, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and subsequent installments introduce a number of third-party guest fighters. While these guest fighters include mascot characters that have appeared in prior crossovers with the ''Super Mario'' franchise, such as [[Sonic]] and [[Pac-Man]], they also include characters from more "realistic" and adult-oriented franchises, such as [[Solid Snake]] from the ''Metal Gear'' franchise and [[smashwiki:Bayonetta|Bayonetta]] from her [[nwiki:Bayonetta series|self-titled series]]. With its large, diverse roster of characters that range from the familiar to the obscure, the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series serves as a gateway to Nintendo's vast library of franchises, with the games often boosting the popularity and public image of lesser-known series such as ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'', ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus (series)|Kid Icarus]]'', and ''[[fireemblem:Fire Emblem (series)|Fire Emblem]]''.{{ref needed}}
-[[File:Logo EN - Super Smash Bros. Wii U 3DS.png|thumb|The logo for the Wii U and 3DS installment of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.]]
-The series itself consists of four games so far. (Three released titles and one title announced during the Nintendo Press Conference during E3 2011.)
+[[Masahiro Sakurai]] has directed all games in the series, the latest being ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The series has become one of the quickest-selling and most popular in Nintendo's history, with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' being the best-selling [[Nintendo GameCube]] game, and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' being the best-selling fighting game of all time.

+|''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' is the first installment in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, introduced in [[List of games by date#1999|1999]] for the [[Nintendo 64]]. The game features eight characters from the start, with four unlockable characters, all of them created by [[Nintendo]] or one of its second-party developers.
+Up to four people can play in multiplayer (Versus) mode, with the specific rules of each match being predetermined by the players. There are two different types that can be chosen: Time, where the person with the most KOs at the end of the set time wins; and stock, where each person has a set amount of lives, and when they are gone, the player is eliminated.
+This game's one-player mode included one adventure mode that always followed the same series of opponents although the player could change the difficulty. Other single player modes exist such as Training and several [[minigame|mini-games]], including "[[Break the Targets!|Break the Targets]]" and "[[Board the Platforms!|Board the Platforms]]". All of these were included in the sequel, with the exception of "[[Board the Platforms!|Board the Platforms]]".
+There are nine playable stages in Versus mode, eight based on each of the starting characters (including [[Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros.)|Princess Peach's Castle]] for Mario, [[Super Happy Tree (stage)|Yoshi's Island]] for Yoshi, and [[Kongo Jungle (Super Smash Bros.)|Congo Jungle]] for Donkey Kong). The only unlockable stage, [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom Kingdom]], is based around motifs from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''

+|''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' is the second installment in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, released in [[List of games by date#2001|2001]] for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. It had a larger budget and development team than ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' did and was released to much greater praise and acclaim among critics and consumers. Since its release, ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' has sold more than 7 million copies and was the best-selling game on the Nintendo GameCube. ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' features 26 characters, of which 15 are available initially, more than doubling the number of characters in its predecessor. There are also 29 stages.
+It introduced two new single-player modes alongside the Classic mode: [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode (SSBM)|Adventure Mode]], and [[smashwiki:All-Star Mode|All-Star Mode]]. Adventure mode has platforming segments similar to the original's "Race to the Finish" mini-game, and All-Star is a fight against every playable character in the game, allows the player only one life in which damage is accumulated over each battle and a limited number of heal items in between battles.
+There are also significantly more multiplayer modes and a tournament mode allowing for 64 different competitors whom can all be controlled by a human player, although only up to four players can participate at the same time. Additionally, the game features alternative battle modes, called "Special Melee", which involve some sort of alteration to the battle (e.g. all characters are giant by default, the speed is faster than normal, etc.), along with alternative ways to judge a victory, such as through collecting coins throughout the match.
+In place of ''Super Smash Bros.'''s character profiles, ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' introduced [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]] (called "figures" in the Japanese version). The 293 trophies include three different profiles for each playable character, one unlocked in each single-player mode. In addition, unlike its predecessor, ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' contains profiles for many Nintendo characters who are either non-playable or do not appear in the game, as well as Nintendo items, stages, enemies, and elements.

+|''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' is the third installment in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, released in 2008 for the [[Wii]]. ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is also the first game in the franchise to support online play, via the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and offers the ability for players to construct their own original stages. The game features a total of 39 playable characters and 41 stages.
+''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' also features compatibility with four kinds of controllers (the [[nwiki:Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] on its side, the Wii Remote and [[nwiki:Nunchuk|Nunchuk]] combination, the Classic Controller, and the Nintendo GameCube controller), while its predecessors only used the one controller designed for that system. The player also has the ability to change the configuration of controls and the controller type.
+''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' features a new Adventure Mode titled "[[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]]". This mode features unique character storylines along with numerous side scrolling levels and multiple bosses to fight, as well as CG cut scenes explaining the storyline. The Subspace Emissary features a new group of antagonists called the Subspace Army, who are led by the Ancient Minister. Some of these enemy characters appeared in previous Nintendo games, such as [[Petey Piranha]] from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] and a squadron of [[R.O.B.]]s based on classic Nintendo hardware. The Subspace Emissary also boasts a number of original enemies, such as [[smashwiki:Primid|Primids]], robot enemies appearing in several variations. Though primarily a single-player mode, The Subspace Emissary allows for cooperative multiplayer. There are five difficulty levels for each stage, and there is a method of increasing characters' powers during the game. This is done by placing collected [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]]s onto the bottom of a character's trophy between stages to improve various aspects of a fighter.
+For the first time, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' adds a few third-party fighters to the roster, [[smashwiki:Sonic (SSBB)|Sonic]] and [[smashwiki:Snake (SSBB)|Snake]].

+|''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' are the fourth and fifth games in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series (however, they are both commonly thought of as the joint fourth installment). At E3 2011, it was confirmed that new ''Super Smash Bros.'' titles were in development for [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Wii U]], with both versions being cross-compatible with each other in some way. The games were shown for the first time at E3 2013.
+The 3DS version features cel-shaded 3D graphics and stages based on games for handheld consoles, while the Wii U version features HD graphics and stages based on games from home consoles. Like prior games in the series, this game introduces new characters, including [[smashwiki:Mega Man (SSB4)|Mega Man]] and [[smashwiki:Pac-Man (SSB4)|Pac-Man]], who are new third-party characters. The character lineup is the same across both versions, and characters can now be customized with a range of equipment and custom special moves. The 3DS version includes an exclusive mode called [[smashwiki:Smash Run|Smash Run]], while the Wii U version includes a mode called [[smashwiki:Smash Tour|Smash Tour]], along with an altered [[smashwiki:Stage Builder|Stage Builder]] and the [[smashwiki:Special Orders|Special Orders]] mode.
+The games also introduce downloadable content (DLC) to the series, which was made available after release. Included among the DLC are the seven additional playable characters [[smashwiki:Mewtwo (SSB4)|Mewtwo]], [[smashwiki:Lucas (SSB4)|Lucas]], [[smashwiki:Roy (SSB4)|Roy]], [[smashwiki:Ryu (SSB4)|Ryu]], [[smashwiki:Cloud (SSB4)|Cloud]], [[smashwiki:Corrin (SSB4)|Corrin]], and [[smashwiki:Bayonetta (SSB4)|Bayonetta]], as well as additional stages and costumes for [[smashwiki:Mii Fighter (SSB4)|Mii Fighters]].
+The 3DS version was released first on September 13, 2014 in Japan, and on October 3rd, 2014 in the rest of the world. The Wii U version was released on November 21, 2014 in North America, November 28, 2014 in Europe, November 29, 2014 in Australia, and December 6th, 2014 in Japan.

 ==Gameplay==
+[[File:Final Destination Match (SSB Wii U).jpg|thumb|A 4-player battle at [[Final Destination]] between [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Pit (character)|Pit]], [[Jigglypuff]], and [[Dr. Mario (character)|Dr. Mario]].]]
 The series has a completely different gameplay compared to fighting games such as ''Street Fighter'' and ''Mortal Kombat''. Instead of making an opponent lose all of their HP, players have to knock opponents off a stage. When a character gets attacked, their damage meter (represented by percentage) increases by up to 999%, and the higher the percentage is, the easier it is to knock an opponent off the stage.
 After being knocked off, a player can use jumping moves to try to return to the stage.
-Smash Bros. has very simple controls. Rather than having to memorize buttons like in ''Street Fighter'', Smash Bros. allows the "one attack, one button" style. Also, characters do not have to face their opponent, but can run around freely. Items can be used to help players recover their percentage or to KO opponents.
+The ''Super Smash Bros.'' series has simple controls. Basic attacks are done through the A button, and special attacks are done through the B button, with the move used being determined by the Control Stick. Players can also shield with the trigger buttons and grab opponents with anther trigger button or by shielding and pressing an attack button. Starting with ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the buttons can be remapped.
