This article is about the game Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64. For the series as a whole, see Super Smash Bros. (series).

Super Smash Bros. is a fighting game and the first installment in the Super Smash Bros. series. It was released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999 and created by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory. Playing as one of a selection of Nintendo characters, players aim to defeat their opponents by knocking them off the screen. The game also features several Nintendo-themed stages and items. Unlike its sequels, Super Smash Bros. received an "Everyone" rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board.

The Super Mario franchise is among the Nintendo franchises to be represented in the game by characters, stages, and items.

Gameplay[edit]

Donkey Kong loses stock to Mario, who has KO'd him and earned a point

Unlike traditional fighting games, Super Smash Bros. does not involve damaging opponents until they have no health left. Players instead begin at 0% damage, and the percentage rises as they take damage accordingly. The more a player is damaged, the farther they are launched. Players compete to KO their opponents by knocking them beyond what is known as a blast line. If a player has not been defeated and can still fight, they return on a platform, which disappears either after a few seconds or when they move off of it themselves. Players are invincible temporarily after they exit the platform.

In Time mode, battles end after a certain amount of time. KOs are counted as a negative point for players that are knocked out of the screen. When the match ends, a player that has the most points is declared the winner. If there is a tie, the match transitions to a Sudden Death, where the tied players begin at 300% damage, leaving them vulnerable to a One-hit KO, ending the match instantly. Bob-ombs start falling on to the stage after a while if the Sudden Death has not concluded.

In Stock mode, wins are focused on how many lives (or stock) one has left by the end, and each time a player is defeated, they lose one life. Like Time mode, if there is a tie, a Sudden Death match occurs. There is the option to fight in teams, in which one cannot attack their allies unless Team Attack is on. If a player defeats their ally with Team Attack on, they earn a point while the ally loses a point. The team with the most KOs wins.

1P Game[edit]

SmashWiki article: 1P Game

The Stage progression screen for the Final Stage with Fox as the player's character.

Before starting, the player selects a fighter, the difficulty (either Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard, or Very Hard), and the number of stock (1 to 5). If a player loses stock in a match, they do not recover it the next round. Every opponent has only one stock. Every stage a five-minute time limit by default, but this can be disabled. When the player completes a stage, they receive special bonuses, which serve only for purposes relating to high scores. If the player either loses all stock or time runs out in a stage (except Bonus Stages), they can continue, which halves their score total, although by quitting, they receive a Game Over.

One-player Game Stages
Stage 1	Link is fought at Hyrule Castle.
Stage 2	18 Yoshis are fought at Yoshi's Island, three at a time.
Stage 3	Fox is fought in Sector Z.
Bonus Stage 1	Set in Break the Targets!, the goal of the fighter is to break ten targets within two minutes. If the fighter loses a stock, they fail the challenge
Stage 4	Mario and Luigi are fought on Peach's Castle, and a random ally is assigned to the player.
Stage 5	Pikachu is fought at Saffron City.
Stage 6	A Giant Donkey Kong is fought at Congo Jungle, and two random allies are assigned to the player.
Bonus Stage 2	Set in Board the Platforms, which is similar to Break the Targets! except the fighter tries to get on 10 platforms within 2 minutes. If they lose a stock, they fail.
Stage 7	Eight Kirbys are fought in Dream Land, two at a time. The first seven each have an ability copied from the other fighters, while the final Kirby is either the standard Kirby or one with an ability copied from an unlockable character.
Stage 8	Samus is fought on Planet Zebes.
Stage 9	Metal Mario is fought on Meta Crystal.
Bonus Stage 3	Set in Race to the Finish!, the player has one minute to reach the white door at the end, all while avoiding Fighting Polygons, bombs, and bumpers.
Stage 10	30 Fighting Polygons are fought on the Battlefield stage, three at a time.
Final Stage	Master Hand is fought at Final Destination.

Training mode[edit]

SmashWiki article: Training Mode

The player is controlling Mario while the CPU, Luigi, is set to "Walk."

The mode allows the player to practice and simulate battles for improving skills or for beginners to learn controls and moves, so neither a time limit nor stocks are available. The player can set the CPU's actions to either Stand, Walk, Evade, Jump, or Attack. From the pause menu, the player can spawn up to four items at once, as well as adjust the speed from normal to either 2/3, 1/2, or 1/4. The camera can be changed from normal to close-up, which follows the fighters close by. The mode uses a unique backdrop and unique background music.

Bonus Practice[edit]

SmashWiki article: Board the Platforms!

Board the Platforms!

Intro from 1P mode

Board the Platforms! is the second bonus stage of Super Smash Bros. and the eighth stage of 1P Game. The fighter has to board all ten platforms, often requiring the use of recovery moves. If played in 1P Game, there is a two-minute time limit. The challenge ends if the fighter falls off of the blast line.

The Super Mario characters and other Nintendo protagonists each have their own stages, including Mario and Donkey Kong's resembling a construction site, and Yoshi (and Pikachu's) resembling a grassy land. Obstacles include bumpers, flippers, and spikes.

Break the Targets![edit]

SmashWiki article: Target Smash!

Like Board the Platforms!, this minigame 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 is brought back to the character selection screen.

Versus mode[edit]

SmashWiki article: Versus Mode

The Character Selection screen.

The primary mode that involves matches between fighters. The player can both choose their fighter and up to three opponents, either CPUs or human players. The player can switch between a time or stock battle. The player can also adjust the costume of their fighter. After a certain number of VS. matches, players can choose which items appear randomly. There is the handicap, which adjusts both the attack power and knockback resistance of human players, as well as a damage setting to determine how much damage is needed to KO a fighter, anywhere from 50% to 200%. Once the fighters have been selected, the player can select which stage to fight in.

There are also Team Battles, where fighters are in two or three teams, distinguished by color of either red, green, or blue. Teammates share stock, so if a player loses a stock, this affects the team. If a fighter has at least two stock remaining, an eliminated player can borrow one by pressing the .

Options[edit]

SmashWiki article: Options

The player can adjust a few options, including whether to have the sound mono or stereo, adjusting the screen display, and Backup Clear, which erases all save data. In European releases, the player can also toggle between English, French, and German as the selected language.

Data[edit]

SmashWiki article: Data

Fox McCloud's record from Super Smash Bros.

The VS. record of Fox

In the last menu option, the player can view profiles of the fighters. From the VS. Records, the player can see how many KOs, TKOs, and SD's are recorded, as well as press to see how they are ranked. The player can press the button again to view further details, including the amounts of damage the character inflicted or received, the ratio of KOs to TKOs to a specific fighter, and a percentage of how much the player used that character. Lastly, there is the unlockable Sound Test, where one can listen to sounds and music from the game, and it can be unlocked by completing Break the Targets and Board the Platforms with all fighters.

Playable characters[edit]

The default cast of characters.

Super Smash Bros. features 12 playable characters across various Nintendo properties, eight being default and four of them are unlockable.

Reception[edit]

Super Smash Bros. received mostly positive reviews, with criticism mostly directed towards the game's single-player mode.^[5] GameSpot's former editorial director, Jeff Gerstmann, noted the single-player game "won't exactly last a long time".^[5] Instead, he praised the multi-player portion of the game, saying that it is "extremely simple to learn".^[5] 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".^[6] 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 erroneously defined as a Super Mario game by GameTrailers when they listed their ten picks of the best Super Mario games.^[7] It was given an Editors' choice award from IGN.^[8]

In Nintendo Power's review, they praise the game for its lively graphics and sound design and ease of control, but does criticize the game for having repetitive music. Satisfaction has the lower score of 7.3/10 while play control scored the highest at 8.2/10.^[9]

Reviews
Release	Reviewer, Publication	Score	Comment
N64	Nintendo Power	7.7/10	Levi — "SSB excels as a multiplayer game, offering endless rematches and shouting matches." Armond — "For a "no brain" brawling game the design is fairly innovative." Jason — "It beats other fighting games with a one-two punch of powerhouse personality."
N64	Peer Schneider, IGN	8.5/10	"I've been playing Smash Bros. since its Japanese release -- and I still love the game. But I have to admit that I spent most of the time playing the multiplayer modes. It's not that the one-player mode is bad -- HAL tried to add a bit of variety by offering bonus stages and team fights, but the order of your opponents never changes and you'll find yourself playing just to get the hidden stuff. But plug in a few more controllers and the game comes to life. The character balance may seem a bit unfair at first (watch out for Kirby and Pikachu), but every fighter has his weaknesses and can be defeated. Well, Jigglypuff is a different story... What a strange character. I sincerely hope Nintendo creates a sequel to this game on its next game console and includes not only the characters from the main game franchises, but also secondary and lesser known ones (Ganondorf, Wario, Toad, Meowth, Pit from Kid Icarus, Banjo-Kazooie -- the list is endless). As it stands, Smash Bros. is an excellent choice for gamers looking for a worthy multiplayer smash 'em-up. Players looking for a Tekken-killer on N64 will have to wait a bit longer."
N64	Jeff Gerstmann, GameSpot	7.5/10	"The game is extremely simple to learn and reasonably easy to master. The one-player game won't exactly last a long time, unless you count the time you have to spend unlocking all four of the hidden characters. So, if you've got a crew of friends ready to pick a Nintendo character and throw down, then Super Smash Bros. is definitely worth a purchase."

Development[edit]

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.^[12]

SmashWiki article: Super Smash Bros. Slamfest '99

A promotional event known as "Slamfest '99" was held at the MGM Grand Adventures Theme Park on April 24th, 1999, organized by Nintendo of America and public relations agency Golin/Harris International, Inc. It consisted in a staged wrestling match between mascots of Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Pikachu, the same ones used in one of the game's North American commercials. It was also broadcasted live on the event's website and it could be rewatched for several months after its conclusion using the RealPlayer G2 application.

Pre-release and unused content[edit]

Regional differences[edit]

How to Play[edit]

In the Japanese version, the on-screen movements for the "How to Play" tutorial video are less refined than in international versions and are often performed slightly out of sync with the controls shown directly below. International versions made the gameplay sync up more smoothly with the instructions as a result.

Some of the differences in the "How to Play" tutorial video include:

Luigi does not fast-fall after jumping in the Japanese version.
Luigi fights back more in the Japanese version.
Luigi does not taunt after Mario grabs the ledge in the Japanese version.
The Fire Flower does not fall off in the Japanese version.
Luigi hits Mario by throwing the Fire Flower when they are showing off how to use items in the Japanese version.
Mario and Luigi do not face each other when they are showing off how to jump in the Japanese version.
Mario and Luigi dash sooner when they are showing off how to move in the Japanese version.
Luigi techs while Mario is showing off the power moves in the Japanese version.

Saffron City[edit]

In the Japanese version, the banner in the stage background which says "Got a Catch 'em All!" is missing the second T and has a space there instead, which was fixed in the international versions. The font also appears to have been rewritten to accommodate this.
"Silf" on the main building was changed to "Silph".

Character sizes[edit]

Mario and Luigi were made a little bigger in the international versions, though Metal Mario remained the same height.
Kirby is a little smaller in the international versions.

1P Game[edit]

In the Japanese version for Stage 1, on any difficulty settings except for Hard, Link would stand and not attack for a few seconds (excluding floor attacks) if his damage was below 21%. This was changed so that he moves and attacks immediately after the match has started.
The Japanese version does not have the congratulatory screens shown after completing the mode.

Point yield[edit]

The point yield for most of the bonuses were altered between the Japanese and international versions.

Glitches[edit]

Main article: List of Super Smash Bros. glitches

3D glitch[edit]

Mario much closer to the camera than usual

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.

Black hole[edit]

All four 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 hit each other and continuously stay, trapping the players within.

PK thunder freeze[edit]

Only two 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 two tails, and if it reaches the edge of the screen, the game cannot handle it and freezes.

References to other games[edit]

Donkey Kong: One of Mario's alternate costumes is based on 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.
Mario Bros.: One of Mario's alternate costumes is based on the color scheme of Luigi's artwork from this game.
Wrecking Crew: One of Mario's alternate costumes is based on Foreman Spike's colors and one of Luigi's alternate costumes is based on the color scheme of his sprite. Also, another of Mario's alternate costumes is based on the outfit from the Spanish box cover.
Super Mario Bros.: The Mushroom Kingdom stage refers to the original game with a flagpole and a castle. Also, one of Luigi's alternate costumes is based on the color scheme of his sprite and another is based on the flashing animation colors of his sprite.
Super Mario World: Luigi's default costume is based on the color scheme of his sprite. Three of Yoshi's alternate costumes are based on the Red, Blue and Yellow Yoshis.
Mario Kart series: Although not in the game itself, the Nintendo Power ad when announcing Super Smash Bros alludes to both Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64 when stating that Nintendo's famous cast had previously "raced go-karts" when announcing their new role in the fighting ring.
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins: One of Mario's alternate costumes is based on the color scheme of Wario.
Donkey Kong (Game Boy): Two of Donkey Kong's alternate costumes are based on the color scheme of his sprites on both the Game Boy and Game Boy Color screens.
Donkey Kong Country: The 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 World 2: Yoshi's Island: Two of Yoshi's alternate costumes are based on the Cyan and Pink Yoshis.
Super Mario 64: Mario and Yoshi's default costumes are based on their in-game models. 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. The Peach's Castle stage is based on this game.
Yoshi's Story: Yoshi's voice clips were reused in this game. Also, the Yoshi's Island stage is based on this game. Yoshi's 1P Mode ending, where Yoshi is trapped between a book, also was a direct reference to the plot of Yoshi's Story where Baby Bowser cursed Yoshi's Island to become a storybook.
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.

+'''''Super Smash Bros.''''' is a [[Genre#Fighting games|fighting game]] and the first installment in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. It was released for the [[Nintendo 64]] in 1999 and created by [[Nintendo]] and [[HAL Laboratory]]. Playing as one of a selection of Nintendo characters, players aim to defeat their opponents by knocking them off the screen. The game also features several Nintendo-themed [[stage]]s and items. Unlike its sequels, ''Super Smash Bros.'' received an "Everyone" rating from the {{iw|wikipedia|Entertainment Software Rating Board}}.
+The ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise is among the Nintendo franchises to be represented in the game by characters, stages, and items.
+==Gameplay==
+[[File:Saffron Donkey Star.png|thumb|left|[[Donkey Kong]] loses stock to [[Mario]], who has KO'd him and earned a point]]
+Unlike traditional fighting games, ''Super Smash Bros.'' does not involve damaging opponents until they have no health left. Players instead begin at 0% damage, and the percentage rises as they take damage accordingly. The more a player is damaged, the farther they are launched. Players compete to {{iw|smashwiki|KO}} their opponents by knocking them beyond what is known as a {{iw|smashwiki|blast line}}. If a player has not been defeated and can still fight, they return on a platform, which disappears either after a few seconds or when they move off of it themselves. Players are invincible temporarily after they exit the platform.
+In {{iw|smashwiki|Time}} mode, battles end after a certain amount of time. KOs are counted as a negative point for players that are knocked out of the screen. When the match ends, a player that has the most points is declared the winner. If there is a tie, the match transitions to a {{iw|smashwiki|Sudden Death}}, where the tied players begin at 300% damage, leaving them vulnerable to a {{iw|smashwiki|One-hit KO}}, ending the match instantly. [[Bob-omb]]s start falling on to the stage after a while if the Sudden Death has not concluded.
+In {{iw|smashwiki|Stock}} mode, wins are focused on how many [[Extra life|lives]] (or stock) one has left by the end, and each time a player is defeated, they lose one life. Like Time mode, if there is a tie, a Sudden Death match occurs. There is the option to fight in {{iw|smashwiki|Team Battle|teams}}, in which one cannot attack their allies unless {{iw|smashwiki|Team Attack}} is on. If a player defeats their ally with Team Attack on, they earn a point while the ally loses a point. The team with the most KOs wins.
+{{br|left}}
+===1P Game===
+{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|1P Game}}
+[[File:SSBClassic.png|thumb|230px|The Stage progression screen for the Final Stage with Fox as the player's character.]]
+Before starting, the player selects a fighter, the difficulty (either Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard, or Very Hard), and the number of stock (1 to 5). If a player loses stock in a match, they do not recover it the next round. Every opponent has only one stock. Every stage a five-minute time limit by default, but this can be disabled. When the player completes a stage, they receive [[smashwiki:List of bonuses#Super Smash Bros.|special bonuses]], which serve only for purposes relating to high scores. If the player either loses all stock or time runs out in a stage (except Bonus Stages), they can {{iw|smashwiki|continue}}, which halves their score total, although by quitting, they receive a [[Game Over]].

+===Training mode===
+{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Training Mode}}
+[[File:SSBTrain.png|thumb|left|230px|The player is controlling [[Mario]] while the CPU, [[Luigi]], is set to "Walk."]]
+The mode allows the player to practice and simulate battles for improving skills or for beginners to learn controls and moves, so neither a time limit nor stocks are available. The player can set the CPU's actions to either Stand, Walk, Evade, Jump, or Attack. From the pause menu, the player can spawn up to four {{iw|smashwiki|item}}s at once, as well as adjust the speed from normal to either 2/3, 1/2, or 1/4. The {{iw|smashwiki|camera}} can be changed from normal to close-up, which follows the fighters close by. The mode uses a unique backdrop and unique background music.
+{{br}}
+===Bonus Practice===
+[[File:SSBBonus.png|thumb|230px|[[Yoshi]] playing in the Board the Platforms mode of Bonus Practice.]]
+====Board the Platforms!====
+{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Board the Platforms!}}
+[[File:SSBBonus.png|thumb|Board the Platforms!]]
+[[File:1P Bonus Stage2.png|thumb|left|Intro from 1P mode]]
+'''Board the Platforms!''' is the second bonus stage of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and the eighth stage of {{iw|smashwiki|1P Game}}. The {{iw|smashwiki|fighter}} has to board all ten platforms, often requiring the use of {{iw|smashwiki|recovery move}}s. If played in 1P Game, there is a two-minute time limit. The challenge ends if the fighter falls off of the blast line.
+The ''Super Mario'' characters and other Nintendo protagonists each have their own stages, including Mario and Donkey Kong's resembling a [[Donkey Kong (game)|construction site]], and Yoshi (and {{iw|smashwiki|Pikachu (SSB)|Pikachu}}'s) resembling a grassy land. Obstacles include bumpers, flippers, and spikes.

+{{NIWA|SmashWiki=Board the Platforms}}
+{{br}}
+====Break the Targets!====
+{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Target Smash!}}
+Like Board the Platforms!, this minigame 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 is brought back to the character selection screen.
+{{br}}
+===Versus mode===
+{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Versus Mode}}
+[[File:Super Smash Select.png|thumb|left|230px|The Character Selection screen.]]
+The primary mode that involves matches between fighters. The player can both choose their fighter and up to three opponents, either {{iw|smashwiki|Artificial intelligence|CPU}}s or human players. The player can switch between a time or stock battle. The player can also adjust the {{iw|smashwiki|alternate costume|costume}} of their fighter. After a certain number of VS. matches, players can choose which items appear randomly. There is the {{iw|smashwiki|handicap}}, which adjusts both the attack power and {{iw|smashwiki|knockback}} resistance of human players, as well as a damage setting to determine how much damage is needed to KO a fighter, anywhere from 50% to 200%. Once the fighters have been selected, the player can select which stage to fight in.
+There are also {{iw|smashwiki|Team Battle}}s, where fighters are in two or three teams, distinguished by color of either red, green, or blue. Teammates share stock, so if a player loses a stock, this affects the team. If a fighter has at least two stock remaining, an eliminated player can borrow one by pressing the {{button|n64|Start}}.
+{{br}}
+===Options===
+{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Options}}
+The player can adjust a few options, including whether to have the sound mono or stereo, adjusting the screen display, and {{iw|smashwiki|Erase Data|Backup Clear}}, which erases all save data. In European releases, the player can also toggle between English, French, and German as the selected {{iw|smashwiki|language}}.
+===Data===
+{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Data}}
+[[File:StarFoxRecords.png|thumb|The VS. record of Fox]]
+In the last menu option, the player can view profiles of the fighters. From the VS. Records, the player can see how many KOs, TKOs, and SD's are recorded, as well as press {{button|n64|A}} to see how they are ranked. The player can press the button again to view further details, including the amounts of damage the character inflicted or received, the ratio of KOs to TKOs to a specific fighter, and a percentage of how much the player used that character. Lastly, there is the unlockable {{iw|smashwiki|Sound Test}}, where one can listen to sounds and music from the game, and it can be unlocked by completing {{iw|smashwiki|Target Smash!|Break the Targets}} and {{iw|smashwiki|Board the Platforms}} with all fighters.
+==Playable characters==
+[[File:SSBdefaultCast.jpg|thumb|The default cast of characters.]]
+''Super Smash Bros.'' features 12 playable characters across various [[Nintendo]] properties, eight being default and four of them are unlockable. Of the roster, there are four characters from the ''Super Mario'' franchise; [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Donkey Kong]], and [[Yoshi]], although Donkey Kong and Yoshi each have their own logo since they are protagonists within their own games.

+|align="left"|"''I've been playing Smash Bros. since its Japanese release -- and I still love the game. But I have to admit that I spent most of the time playing the multiplayer modes. It's not that the one-player mode is bad -- HAL tried to add a bit of variety by offering bonus stages and team fights, but the order of your opponents never changes and you'll find yourself playing just to get the hidden stuff. But plug in a few more controllers and the game comes to life. The character balance may seem a bit unfair at first (watch out for Kirby and Pikachu), but every fighter has his weaknesses and can be defeated. Well, Jigglypuff is a different story... What a strange character. I sincerely hope Nintendo creates a sequel to this game on its next game console and includes not only the characters from the main game franchises, but also secondary and lesser known ones (Ganondorf, Wario, Toad, Meowth, Pit from Kid Icarus, Banjo-Kazooie -- the list is endless). As it stands, Smash Bros. is an excellent choice for gamers looking for a worthy multiplayer smash 'em-up. Players looking for a Tekken-killer on N64 will have to wait a bit longer.''"

-Players can use their characters' attacks or items to hit their opponents. This will cause a percentage of damage. The higher the percentage of a player is, the easier he can be kicked off the stage. Percentage of damage can, however, exceed 100%.
+''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>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20080409211613/http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol7_page1.jsp|title=Iwata Asks: Super Smash Bros.

-There are two different fighting modes in ''Super Smash Bros.'', [[#Time|time]] and [[#Stock|stock]].
+==Promotion==
-=== Time ===
+{{lost|The video has not been archived.|section=y}}
-Players get a point when KOing another player. They lose a point when dying. When the time is up, the player with the most points wins.
+{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Super Smash Bros. Slamfest '99}}
-=== Stock ===
+A promotional event known as "Slamfest '99" was held at the {{wp|MGM Grand Adventures Theme Park}} on April 24th, 1999, organized by Nintendo of America and public relations agency Golin/Harris International, Inc. It consisted in a staged wrestling match between mascots of Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Pikachu, the same ones used in one of the game's North American commercials. It was also broadcasted live on the event's website and it could be rewatched for several months after its conclusion using the {{wp|RealPlayer|RealPlayer G2}} application.
-Players have a specified amount of lives. When a player has lost all his lives, he loses. The winner of the match is the last player standing. Optionally, a time limit can be specified. When it runs out, the player with the most lives wins.
-If there is a tie in one of the modes, there will be a Sudden Death. The two players tied will have a quick stock battle with one life and both starting with 300% percent damage, which will cause them to die instantly when hit. The winner of the Sudden Death wins the whole battle.

-Players can fight alone or in teams.
+==Regional differences==
+===How to Play===
+In the Japanese version, the on-screen movements for the "How to Play" tutorial video are less refined than in international versions and are often performed slightly out of sync with the controls shown directly below. International versions made the gameplay sync up more smoothly with the instructions as a result.
-== Modes ==
+Some of the differences in the "How to Play" tutorial video include:
-=== Single-Player mode ===
+*Luigi does not fast-fall after jumping in the Japanese version.
-The single-player mode in ''Super Smash Bros.'' follows a set pattern. In the beginning, the player can choose his character, difficulty level (very easy - easy - normal - hard - very hard) and number of lives (1 - 5). The number of lives selected will be for the whole mode, not per match.
+*Luigi fights back more in the Japanese version.
+*Luigi does not taunt after Mario grabs the ledge in the Japanese version.
+*The Fire Flower does not fall off in the Japanese version.
+*Luigi hits Mario by throwing the Fire Flower when they are showing off how to use items in the Japanese version.
+*Mario and Luigi do not face each other when they are showing off how to jump in the Japanese version.
+*Mario and Luigi dash sooner when they are showing off how to move in the Japanese version.
+*Luigi techs while Mario is showing off the power moves in the Japanese version.
-All stages work with the stock system, and the opponents have one life each. There is a time limit of 5 minutes per match.
+===Saffron City===
+*In the Japanese version, the banner in the stage background which says "Got a Catch 'em All!" is missing the second T and has a space there instead, which was fixed in the international versions. The font also appears to have been rewritten to accommodate this.
+*"Silf" on the main building was changed to "Silph".
-*'''Stage 1''': The player fights [[Link]] in [[Hyrule Castle]].
+===Character sizes===
-*'''Stage 2''': The player fights a team of 18 [[Yoshi]]s in [[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.
+*Mario and Luigi were made a little bigger in the international versions, though Metal Mario remained the same height.
-*'''Stage 3''': The player fights [[Fox]] in [[Sector Z]].
+*Kirby is a little smaller in the international versions.
-*'''Bonus Stage 1: Break the targets''': The player has to hit the 10 targets within a time limit of 2 minutes. Each character has a different arena for his target test. Dying in the target test only 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]]. He also gets a randomly chosen ally for his team.
-*'''Stage 5''': The player fights [[Pikachu]] in [[Saffron City]].
-*'''Stage 6''': The player fights [[Giant Donkey Kong]] in [[Kongo Jungle]]. The player gets two randomly chosen allies on his side.
-*'''Bonus Stage 2: Board the platforms''': The player has to board all of the 10 platforms in the stage within 2 minutes. As with the first bonus stage, failing does not cause loss of life.
-*'''Stage 7''': The player fights a team of 8 [[Kirby|Kirbys]] in [[Dream Land]]. Seven of them already have abilities from the other 7 default characters. The last one is either the regular Kirby or has the 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]] on a stage specially designed for Metal Mario.
-*'''Bonus Stage 3: Race to the finish''': The player has to reach the finish within one minute. On his way, [[Fighting Polygons]] will attack him or her. Once again, failing does not cause loss of life.
-*'''Stage 10''': The player fights a team of 30 [[Fighting Polygons]] on the [[Battlefield]] stage. He fights three at a time.
-*'''Stage 11''': The player fights against the [[Master Hand]]. Unlike the player, the Master Hand does not have a percentage of damage, but 300 hit points. The battle is on [[Final Destination]].
-==== Training mode ====
+===1P Game===
-In this special mode, the player can practice his skills with an opponent with the difficulty of his choice, but no rules such as time or stock.
+*In the Japanese version for Stage 1, on any difficulty settings except for Hard, Link would stand and not attack for a few seconds (excluding floor attacks) if his damage was below 21%. This was changed so that he moves and attacks immediately after the match has started.
+*The Japanese version does not have the congratulatory screens shown after completing the mode.
+====Point yield====
+The point yield for most of the bonuses were altered between the Japanese and international versions.

-==== Bonus practice ====
+==Glitches==
-Here the player can practice for '''Bonus Stage 1''' and '''Bonus Stage 2''' of the single-player mode.
+{{main|List of Super Smash Bros. glitches}}
+===3D glitch===
+[[File:Madio close to the screen.png|thumb|Mario much closer to the camera than usual]]
+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.
+{{br}}
-=== VS mode ===
+===Black hole===
-In this mode, up to four players can fight against each other. They can select their characters, teams, optional CPU enemies with a level from 1 to 9, the time or the number of lives, and the stage for the battle.
+All four 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 hit each other and continuously stay, trapping the players within.
-The same character can be selected multiple times, each time coming in a different color or outfit.
+===PK thunder freeze===
+Only two 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 two tails, and if it reaches the edge of the screen, the game cannot handle it and freezes.
-It is also possible for the players to select the items they want to play with.

+*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': The Mushroom Kingdom stage refers to the original game with a flagpole and a castle. Also, one of Luigi's alternate costumes is based on the color scheme of his sprite and another is based on the flashing animation colors of his sprite.
+*''[[Super Mario World]]'': Luigi's default costume is based on the color scheme of his sprite. Three of Yoshi's alternate costumes are based on the Red, Blue and Yellow Yoshis.
+*''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series: Although not in the game itself, the Nintendo Power ad when announcing ''Super Smash Bros'' alludes to both ''Super Mario Kart'' and ''Mario Kart 64'' when stating that Nintendo's famous cast had previously "raced go-karts" when announcing their new role in the fighting ring.

+*''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'': Two of Yoshi's alternate costumes are based on the Cyan and Pink Yoshis.
+*''[[Super Mario 64]]'': Mario and Yoshi's default costumes are based on their in-game models. 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. The [[Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros.)|Peach's Castle]] stage is based on this game.
+*''[[Yoshi's Story]]'': Yoshi's voice clips were reused in this game. Also, the [[Super Happy Tree (stage)|Yoshi's Island]] stage is based on this game. Yoshi's 1P Mode ending, where Yoshi is trapped between a book, also was a direct reference to the plot of ''Yoshi's Story'' where Baby Bowser cursed Yoshi's Island to become a storybook.
+*''[[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.
