This is a great game, one of the best for the system. It's certainly innovative when it comes to fighting games. There's no button mashing or crazy combos in this game, just simple B, A and control stick combos. In a way this is good; its not as complicated, and easy to get started. But it's also bad; there's a limited number of moves.
Also, some characters are really useless. Jigglypuff? One Pokemon was enough, but this is even a crapified version of Kirby. Which takes me to number two. Kirby. I like the character an the developers had teh right idea, but hes too strong. Playing against aKirby gets really cheap...I'm sure some of you know what I mean. His brick can protect him from about anything!
There's only 9 stages...a few of which are really bad like Kirby's, and the Pokemon one's not too great either. But there's good ones also like Hyrule, Fox, Mario and the Donkey. Then there's the nostalgic ones.
This game is great, especially because of its small learning curve and awesome replay value(the best next to goldeneye). Definitely worth your money.

well no one can beat me in this game. even though they try. if you want to challenge me contact me at matthewc712. but this really is the best game to play with your pals or on those cold lonely nights. my friends and i have had some tournaments playing this and it was the most exciting thing i've ever done. especially because i walked away with cash. hah i laugh but i will love this game forever until i die or until i actually lose for once.
Fun for all ages

I bought a used version of this cartridge after seeing my 3-year old son being hooked with it during a visit to my sister's.
You have 8 characters to choose from with 4 additional hidden characters you can release after succeeding in various playing modes at specific difficulty levels. Each character has its own set of special moves, sounds and taunts.
The purpose of the game is to use your character skills and moves to knock off your opponent from the hovering playing field. Damage to you or to your opponent builds up as you hit him/her. Some punches or moves give more damage than others and as the damaged builds up, the character turns more vulnerable to being knocked off.
There are a few moves that only give damage and other moves are used to specifically knock off your opponent. This means that you cannot just push buttons at random, it requires a lot of patience and some reflexes to defeat your adversary consistently.
The game is extremely simple to learn, yet there are quite a large amount of special moves to master. You will definitely require all those special moves when playing the most advanced levels or when facing more skilled human opponents.
I kind of sticked with Mario when playing, for me it is the most well-rounded character, although I'm sure that some of the hidden characters are quite versatile as well.
I found out that this game can be handicap adjusted, making it fun and fair for all ages and skill levels.
This game is definitely more fun in a multi-player scenario, but it is also extremely fun using the computer as an opponent. You can play a free-for-all match (everyone against everyone) with up to 3 computer (or human) controlled characters, having each one the same or their own unique skill levels. There is also a Team-Battle, where you team up with a computer or a human to face another human/computer team.
One small thing I did noticed was some slow control response in some instances, especially when playing the harder levels; it requires a little patience getting used to it.
This game is very easy to learn, extremely addictive, colorful, fun, challenging and funny. It has dozens of playing options and many cool sounds. It is quite entertaining with lots of clean fun for the whole family.
5 stars and 100% recommended.

THIS GAME IS HILARIOUS! THE DEAL? YOU PLAY AS STUFFED ANIMALS, SHAPED LIKE NINTENDO STARS, OR I should REALLY say is, "Beanie Baby", and knock the living stuffing out of each other! With little violence and powerful COMEDY, this game should surplus 5 stars, I'D GIVE THIS ONE 1,000 STARS AT LEAST AND BY FAR! This game is meant for fun and not violence! FUN BEAT-EM-UP GAME PLAY AND TEAM MATCHES MAKES THIS GAME HILARIOUS! Sadly, I WANTED TO SEE PIT "KID ICARUS" IN THIS GAME, MAYBE IN THE THIRD INSTALLMENT OF THIS GAME. SUPPORT ME AND GO TO NINTENDO'S web site and ask, ask, ask! PRETTY SOON, THEY'LL COME WITH THE THIRD GAME AND "DAI-BIYESSO, DAI-BIYE!" (FIGHT ON! FIGHT ON!)
Smashing!!

A very exciting and fun fighting game; Super Smash Bros. is definentally worthy of my approval. In this great multiplayer game you fight opponents using awesome moves and killer items. There are also a variety of levels, each containing their own special dangers. The object of the game is to knock your opponent off the edge of the thing you are fighting on. It could range from a spaceship in the star-e-ness of space to the tops of skyscrapers!
Each fighter has their own special moves and abilities to crush other fighters with. Their moves are not hard to learn, so you can get pretty good at the game in a relitively short time.
Also, Super Smash Bros. doesn't get boring after you beat it. I've had the game for about three, four years and I still love it. And if you get this AWESOME multiplayer combat game hopefully you will too.
EXCELLENT

This game is the best. The only thing I didn't like about this game is that the graphics were not the best. If you're a first time N64 buyer, get this game! It's really fun, and pretty competitive. It is even better when you have friends to play with.
Best game ever

Dear ignorant parents, please talk to your kid before using your "Well in my day..." instinct to judge a game. I read the "1 star" reviews and most of them were either from illiterate 1st graders (Yeah, that's right, I'm talking to you too, Mr. I can't spell the word "Nintendo") or some parent who doesn't know the difference between a Nintendo 64 cartridge and a VHS tape. For example, I saw a parent say "I thought it was gonna be about bumper cars." What the heck? Did you have your face stuck in a rock while you looked at the game box? Anyways, that's all for now on that subject matter.
Moving on to the review...
This game is awesome. There's so many ways you can play it'll take until you're in college to get bored of this game. When I was a kid I used to rent this game and play it with my friends and I gotta tell ya, the multiplayer ROCKS! And the cool part is, the single player is also fun. By the time we had to turn in the game back to Blockbuster, we were so sad that we had to let it go.
So let's review:
Parents, study up on your kid's games. And for all the gamers out there, BUY THIS GAME!! You'll thank me for it later, I promise you.
Really FUN!
