Revision as of 20:00, June 16, 2021
It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.
- This article is about the Super Smash Bros. series as a whole. For the first game in the series, see Super Smash Bros.
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. While the Western title for the series is a play on the title of Super Mario Bros., Super Smash Bros. is a standalone crossover franchise and is not explicitly part of any of its constituent series. However, the Super Mario franchise is the most heavily represented franchise in each game, with multiple playable characters and stages, and receives first billing as Nintendo's flagship franchise.
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 Mario series, 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.
It has become one of the quickest-selling and most popular series in Nintendo's history, and Super Smash Bros. Melee is the best-selling Nintendo GameCube game. Masahiro Sakurai has directed all games in the series, the latest being Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
The Super Smash Bros. games are popular in eSports, with tournaments being held featuring professional players.

Cover, original release, and system | Synopsis |
Super Smash Bros. | |
![]() Template:Released 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 (such as Princess Peach's Castle for Mario, Zebes for Samus, and Sector Z for Fox) and the unlockable Mushroom Kingdom, based around motifs from the original Super Mario Bros. (from which the English-language name of the Super Smash Bros. series comes), even containing original sprites and the original version of the Overworld theme from that game. |
Super Smash Bros. Melee | |
![]() Template:Released 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 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 | |
![]() Template:Released 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 Mario series 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 the Roader; a robotic unicycle, the Bytan; a one-eyed ball-like creature which can replicate itself if left alone, and the Primid; enemies that come in many 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. Like its predecessor, Super Smash Bros. Brawl introduces several new playable characters. Among them are Sonic the Hedgehog and Solid Snake, the series' first third-party fighters. |
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U | |
![]() ![]() Template:Released Nintendo 3DS Template:Released 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). 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 Mega Man and 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 Smash Run, while the Wii U version includes a mode called Smash Tour, along with an altered stage builder and the 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 Mewtwo, Lucas, Ryu, Roy, Cloud Strife, Corrin, and Bayonetta, as well as additional stages and costumes for 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. |
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate | |
![]() Template:Released Nintendo Switch |
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the sixth game in the series (fifth if Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U are counted collectively), released on December 7, 2018 for the Nintendo Switch.[1] It features every playable character from the past installments.[1]
During the E3 2018 Nintendo Direct, Inkling from the Splatoon series, Princess Daisy from the Mario series, and Ridley from the Metroid series were confirmed as new playable characters.[1] In the August 2018 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct, Simon Belmont, Richter Belmont (both from the Castlevania series), Chrom (from the Fire Emblem series), Dark Samus (from the Metroid series), and King K. Rool (from the Donkey Kong series) were also confirmed to be playable.[2] Within the September 2018 Nintendo Direct, Isabelle from the Animal Crossing series was additionally confirmed as a new playable fighter.[3] In the November 2018 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct, Ken Masters (from the Street Fighter series), Incineroar (from the Pokémon series), and Piranha Plant (from the Mario series) were announced as playable, with Piranha Plant being DLC.[4] It was also confirmed at this point that an additional five fighters and stages, as well as some music, were to be released as DLC via five Challenger Packs in a "Fighters Pass".[4] At The Game Awards 2018, Joker, the protagonist of Persona 5, was announced as the first of the fighters included in the Fighters Pass.[5] In the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct, the Heroes of multiple Dragon Quest games, as well as Banjo & Kazooie from the Banjo-Kazooie series, were confirmed as the second and third Fighters Pass fighters respectively.[6] The September 2019 Nintendo Direct, in addition to revealing that further DLC fighters are to be released separate from the Fighters Pass, confirmed Terry Bogard from the Fatal Fury series as the fourth Fighters Pass fighter.[7] In a video that was aired during January 2020, Byleth, the main protagonist of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, was confirmed as the fighter of Challenger Pack 5; an additional six challenger packs in a separate Fighters Pass were also clarified to be the previously confirmed additional DLC.[8] In the March 2020 Nintendo Direct Mini, a character from ARMS was confirmed to be Challenger Pack 6's fighter, although the character's identity was not shown[9] until June of that year, when the fighter was revealed to be Min Min.[10] In a video that aired during October 2020, Steve from Minecraft was confirmed as Challenger Pack 7's fighter.[11] During The Game Awards 2020, Sephiroth, the main antagonist of Final Fantasy VII, was confirmed as the fighter included in Challenger Pack 8.[12] In the February 2021 Nintendo Direct, Pyra and Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 were confirmed as Challenger Pack 9's fighter.[13] The E3 2021 Nintendo Direct confirmed Kazuya Mishima from the Tekken series as the fighter of Challenger Pack 10.[14] Super Smash Bros. Ultimate introduces Spirits mode, with collectible spirits able to augment fighters' abilities.[4] They replace the collectible trophies of past installments.[4] They visually appear and function very similarly to stickers from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. There is also a new Adventure Mode, titled World of Light, which sees Galeem turning many characters (except for the playable fighters, who were instead imprisoned, except for Kirby who survived) into spirits.[4] |
Gameplay
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.

One of the oldest gaming series, the (previously unnamed) character, Mr. Game & Watch, represents the series as a playable character since Super Smash Bros. Melee. | ||||
Ice Climber | ||||
The Ice Climber "series" (technically not a series, due to the fact that there is only one Ice Climber game) is represented by Popo and Nana, otherwise known as the Ice Climbers, as playable characters starting with Super Smash Bros. Melee (although they are absent as playable characters in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U).

Mario | ||||
The first-billed (aside from the Super Smash Bros. franchise itself) and most heavily represented franchise in the Super Smash Bros. series. Characters from the Mario series have appeared in all released games. While the series is quite abundant in content from numerous sub-series of the Mario franchise, it has, primarily, a strong focus on the platforming Super Mario games, the kart racing Mario Kart games, and, to a lesser extent, the Luigi's Mansion games. The Mario characters playable in the Super Smash Bros. series are Mario, Luigi (both since Super Smash Bros.), Princess Peach, Bowser, Dr. Mario (starting with Super Smash Bros. Melee, although Dr. Mario is not playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl), Rosalina & Luma, Bowser Jr. with seven model swaps that each replace him with one of the Koopalings (since Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS), Princess Daisy, and Piranha Plant (both in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the latter as DLC)[1][4]. Although the Mario series also includes such characters as Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Wario, they are excluded from the list, due to having their own series and logos.
The emblem representing this series is a mushroom, a recurring type of item. | ||||
Mega Man | ||||
Mega Man from his series of games of the same name is a playable character in the series starting with Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, and the third third-party character of the Super Smash Bros. series (after Snake and Sonic were introduced in Super Smash Bros. Brawl). | ||||

Brawl (although he is absent in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U). Hideo Kojima, the producer of the Metal Gear series, requested Snake to be in Super Smash Bros. Melee, however production of the game was too far for his inclusion.[citation needed]
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the series icon for the Metal Gear series is replaced by an exclamation mark. The icon change is due to Kojima's departure from Konami; the FOX Unit logo is also the former logo for Kojima Productions. | |||
Metroid | ||||
