Product Description

Editorial Review

All of your favorite Nintendo characters have come together to answer the question: who is king of the Nintendo hill? The format can aptly be described as Super Mario Kart meets Mortal Kombat, which makes for an odd, yet addictive game. The object is to throw, punch, smash, or blast your opponents off the edge of the beautifully rendered, themed arenas. Numerous power-ups, weapons, and surprises help or hinder the melee. Your eventual goal is to fight your way through to a bizarre final boss character. Victory in this battle rewards you with another character to play, such as the scene-stealing Pokémon, Jigglypuff.

From Star Fox's laser pistol to Link's hook shot, each character's trademark special abilities are utilized to knock one another off the screen. The game does a great job balancing the characters' widely differing powers so that no one character has an insurmountable advantage. The sound and animations are also dead-on: Donkey Kong is a huge, cartoonish ape, while Link is much more detailed and realistic. And Pikachu's famous thunder shock attack is accompanied by a fearsome yell of "PIKA!"

Unlike most fighting games, Super Smash Bros. allows you to team up with a computer partner and take on other teams in both single and multiplayer modes. But the most fun is had when four human players play in a battle royale. The game quickly becomes a scene of incredibly fun chaos: picture Mario beating up on Luigi, while Donkey Kong is chased by a scampering, sledgehammer-wielding Pikachu. It's the perfect party game. --Hugh Arnold

Pros:

  • Great characters: Mario, Luigi, Pikachu, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Link, Star Fox, Yoshi, and more
  • Simple gameplay
  • Computer partner option
  • Colorful arenas
Cons:
  • Limited number of arenas

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a fighting game starring all the Nintendo favorites, March 18, 2000
By A Customer
= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Super Smash Bros (Video Game)
It didn't take Nintendo long before they figured out that if they took all their cool characters and crammed them into a fighter with great graphics and sound that the end result would be an awesome game. The whole gang is here, including the Mario Bros., Pikachu, Link, DK, Kirby, Fox, and Yoshi. Up to four players can pit themselves against each other in eight different fighting arenas. The one player mode is equally entertaining, and the secrets to be unlocked will keep you playing for hours.

GRAPHICS: Smash Bros. sports a great look with bright colors, eye popping effects, and detailed characters and backgrounds. Occasionally during the multiplayer, however, there is some slowdown.

CONTROL: The controls are extremely simple and easy to master. But a lot of the moves strongly rely on the analog joystick for execution, which can be frustrating in the heat of battle.

SOUND: Smash Bros.'s sounds will be music to your ears. The theme music which accompanies each stage flows nicely with the various character voices. The only cons are the annoying cries of Pikachu, which may appeal to Pokemon fanatics.

5.0 out of 5 stars I would put 6 stars if it weren't for the 1 Player Games!, December 2, 2000
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Super Smash Bros (Video Game)
This is a cool game. If you ever get bored of Yosi's Island or Super Mario 64, then just pop this game in and have a duel between the two!

Pros: Items add suspense to the game. (believe me, when I play with my brother or sister and I get a bomb-om or bat, my ears start to ring from their screaming!) Extra prizes like item switch, x-tra characters and stages make you be able to customize games or even duel pokemon! There is a training mode, a 1P mode, a Muli-player mode, even a bonus mode! Graphics are great. There is even a ranking system for vs. modes! There are bios (and stages in gameplay mode) for each character, and I think that I might reach the 1,000 word maximum if I keep talking about Pros. So,

ON TO THE CONS (And there aren't very many.)

Cons: 1P mode can get a bit boring They left out key characters like Bowser from Mario and Wario. But still, they have a pretty good selection of characters.

Hope this helps you!

P.S. I do reccomend that if you have siblings close in age, this game is AWESOME!

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Super Smash Bros (Video Game)
Nintendo -cute,fluffy and twee. Unfortunatley alot of people associate those words with Nintendo and naturally assume that it is for a much younger audience. When in fact they make incredibly deep and enjoyable games which are ageless.Super Smash Bros. has been dubbed a cartoon beat 'em up, but after playing it I wouldn't say it was that, it is much more enjoyable than your Mortal Kombats or even your Tekkens- because it is very innovative and is very satisfying despite lack ofgore.Another reason that it rises above the rest is because it is still enjoyable on one player and the possibility of a mixture of human and computer players and power ups means that there is alot of variety. The multiplayer is UNBELIEVABLE! Four player is one of its' biggest strengths. Basically if you have a Nintendo 64, buy this, This is excellence.
