'''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.
  
'''Super Smash Bros.''' is a crossover fighting game for the [[Nintendo 64]] that was released in 1999 and features characters from various [[Nintendo]] series as playable fighters. It acts as the first game of the ''[[Portal: Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series.

As opposed to other fighting games which revolve around depleting health meters, the goal in ''Super Smash Bros.'' is instead to knock characters out of the ring. Instead of health meters, characters have percentages of damage that build up as they take hits. The higher up the percentage goes, the easier it becomes to knock them out of the ring. Though every character fights differently, they have the same basic control scheme. The A button is used for regular attacks, while pressing the B button and a direction will unleash one of several special attacks. The C^ button is used to jump. Pressing the Z button will allow a character to grab another character and possibly throw them if someone is nearby; if no one is close enough, then a shield will be projected instead.

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]].
