Super Smash Bros. is a fighting game starring various Nintendo supertsars. At the time, there wasn't anything like it. It's easy to pick up and play, but tough to master. Besides the gameplay itself, the game is full of references to Nintendo's greatest games.
Story

Gameplay
Though every character fights differently, they have the same basic control scheme. The A button will let you use regular attacks while the B button and a direction will unleash a special attack. The C^ button can make your character jump. Pressing the Z button will allow you to throw a character if there's a character nearby; if there's no one nearby, you will use your shield.
The 1 Player mode has the player fighting a series of individual battles against the other characters in the game. For variety, there are other types of battles such as Metal Mario, Fighting Polygon Team, and Giant Donkey Kong. Along with the battles, there are also three bonus games: Break the Targets, Board the Platform, and Race to the Finish. At the end, the player must battle Master Hand.
