I loved the 1st super smah brothers, except this one will blow it away. The idea of going through the game fighting smaller battles before you get to the main character bosses is genius. Soon as this game comes out I will have it popped in my gamecube and ready for extreme joy for days on end.
JUST PLAIN AWSOME!!

THE GAMEPLAY: ITS AMAZING!! YOU CAN SEE ALL THE HAIRS ON MARIOS MUSTACE AND ALL THE HAIRS ON EACH FIGHTERS HEAD. THERE IS LOT AND LOTS OF EXPLOSIONS. YOU CAN SEE THE FIRE FROM THE EXPLOSIONS TO AND THE FIGHTERS GETTING THROWN AROUND!!!!!
THE GRAPHICS: THE GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING!!! THERE ARE NICE AND IT LOOKS VERY REAL. OTHER STUFF ABOUT THE GAME: THERE IS TONS AND TONS OF FIGHTERS. AND THERE IS A LOT OF FIGHTERS TO UNLOCK. YOU CAN ALSO GET TROTHYS IN THE GAME. FIGHTERS TRORPHYS YOU GET FROM BEATING CLASSIC MODE AND STORY MODE AND FROM BEATING ARENA MODES. YOU CAN ALSO GET THEM FROM BEATING A HIDDEN MODE TO AND FROM BEATING OTHER MODES. THE OTHER WAY YOU CAN GET THEM FROM EARNING COINS BY BEATING MODES IN THE GAME AND THEN YOU USE THE MONEY TO GO TO A SLOT MACHINE AND BUY TROPHYS IN THE SLOT MACHINE. AND THERE ARE TONS OF TROPHYS TO UNLOCK. ITS A FUN GAME YOU SHOULD BUY IT.

This game is pure fun, for everyone. Unlike many fighters, the controls are kept simple enough that pretty much anyone can play, and yet, they still offer a diversity of moves to keep the game fun. It's a fun game in single player mode, where there is not only the traditional fighting mode, but an adventure mode (which includes levels where you side-scroll through other nintendo worlds, fight wierd charachters, etc.) and event mode (which has different challenges, some of which are kind of dumb, but some are pretty fun.)
Even better is the multiplayer. This is pretty much the ultimate multiplayer game. Anyone can play, and everyone will have fun.
For those who have played the N64 game, this is similar, but with many more features.
I'd also say that this game proves wrong all those who complain about the GameCube controller. It's very instinctive in this game.
Why T for Teen!?

This is an awesome game! For the person who wrote, why is it rated t for teen?, there is no killing. There is K.O.s though. (knock outs) It is cartoon violence, true, but i don't think it should be rated T. People as young as ten, maybe even eight, can play this game. If it is rated T for cartoon violence, Then cartoons on TV should be rated for teens because it is practically the same thing as watching someone play SSB Melee. It should be rated E ages 8+. What do you think people? give me an argument!

The sequel for Super Smash Bothers is here. I have not personally been able to play it, but everybody who has say it is a must have. There are tons of new characters, like the Ice Climbers, and some of your old favorites, like Link. There are new battle fields and new secret characters(Yes!). Overall only one word can describe what I think about this game -SWEET!!!!!!!
Quite honestly the best game to exist

How can anybody not like this game? It's amazing, it's fantastic, it's beautiful. I can't wait for Brawl to come out. Anyway, back to the game.
Graphics: 10/10
The graphics have increasingly improved tremendously from the original Smash Bros. Instead of bright blue overalls on Mario, it's dark blue overalls, and you can see the strings on the overalls. I think the most improved is Fox.
Sound: 10/10
It's fun to listen to, very catchy as well. I love the theme song. All the songs from each world fits perfectly.
Characters: 10/10
There's no good or bad character. Some people might say Jigglypuff is the worst, but what about her down B attack, that's like the home run bat. It's like each character's movements and are naturally different and their personallties are all different too. Some characters are like blobs such as Kirby or Mr. Game and Watch, but some characters are highly detailed, such as Link or Ganondorf.
Stages: 9.5/10
I loved most of the stages in this game, but alot of them were the same thing except with a samll twist to it. Battlefield and Foutain of Dreams are pretty much identical, but I do like all the new stages. Their all incredibly filled with action.
Controls: 10/10
They work instintly, and the basic controls take no time to learn. Once you start to learn the really hard moves, like catching items in the air, the advanced moves are, well, advanced.
Single Player:
I'm just going to write short summaries on the single player.
Classic: 4/10
It's the fun the first time, you'll fall asleep the second time playing it. There's absoulutly no replay value in it.
Adventure: 4/10
Once again, it's the first time, you'll be bored the death the next time. I wish all the characters had to like 3 missions, but the missions were different for every character. For example, Mario had to go through Bowser's castle to rescue Peach, or a mission something like that.
All Star: 6/10
It's better then Classic and Adventure, but not by much. There's more replay value, but it really dies down quickly. You play all 25 characters, and that's it.
Event Matches: 6/10
There's a good amount of replay value in these event matches. But I do warn you, once you get to Event 30 and up, they are downright impossible. The fun is still there though. I like having to do certain missions, but then again, it just dosn't keep it's value, that's what happens with all the single player modes, and that's sad.
Home Run Contest: 6/10
Very Challenging to get a high score. You can unlock trophies and a stage, but after that, there's not much worth of playing it again. It's very hard to get over 700 feet, for any character. I had to go online to unlock the stage and the trophy.
Target Test: 8/10
This is just my opinion, but I say there's lots of replay value in the target test. Some are easy, some are hard. When I mean hard, I mean "have to go on internet to find how to do it" hard.
Multi Man Meele: 7/10
There's 3 minute Meele, 15 minute, Endless, about 6 to 7 types of this, but even bringing it all together, it only equals in even 7. With 100 Man Meele, you can unlock Falco, and for 15 Minute, you unlock a stage. After you do that, there's no point coming back to it.
Training: 0/10
They try to incourage replay by trying to get you do the most, COMBOS!?!?!? They cheated through Training, it's boring as it is, and it really dosn't help you throughout the Meele matches at all.
Trophies: 7/10
Their cool. There's lots of them. What I like the most about the trophies, is reading the info about the trohies. Sure their 3-D and detailed and stuff, but they don't move or anything, so there's not much of a point collecting the trophies either.
Multiplayer:
The best part about this game, the multiplayer.
Meele: 10/10
Who couldn't rate this a high score, it's the best part of the game. Lots and lots of replay value. I don't find computer players very fun in most games, but in this one, it's just like your friend, almost! It's hard to describe. Their's Timed, Stock, Coin Mode, where you try to collect the most coins in a time limit by hitting the player, and bonus mode, where you go for the highest score.
Tournament Meele: 10/10
I love Tornument Meele! There's so many options you can pick from, you can even play 64 people for crissakes!( even though you probulay wouldn't want to watch every single match if you do the 64 option) It's really fun and it's value is always there, no matter what.
Special Meele:
I'm not going to write about the special Meele's, I'm just going to give them ratings so you guys don't have to read so much.
Camera: 7/10
Stanima: 10/10
Sudden Death: 7/10
Giant: 8/10
Tiny: 7/10
Invisible: 3/10 (trust me, not seeing is not what you call fun)
Fixed Camera: 5/10
Single Button: 5.5/10
Slo-Mo: 9/10
Ligthing-Mo: 8/10
It's very neat to have all these special playing options, even if a few of them are not fun at all (Invisible, Single Button). But I'll admit that this was a very innovative idea, or different.
Unlockables: 9.5/10
Lots, and lots of it. You might think unlocking every character and stage, and beating all 51 event matches is beating the game. You are wrong, you need to collect 249 trophies still! There's plenty to unlock this game and that keeps me playing it.
Other Stuff: 9/10
There's not much else to write about, but you can write your name. But only four letters.
Overall:10/10
There's no point in renting this game, just please buy the thing. Wondering why the game is still $30.00? Buy the game to find out, if you have it, good. And that's my review, on one of the most funest games ever.
I have never had so much fun with a game before

This is the best and most complete fightning game ever made. The graphics are amazing and the music is happy and very enjoyable. The game modes are fun and I like Adventure Mode and Home Run Contest the best. You can unlock many characters and stages but the most fun is the Trophies. Go and buy this wonderful game now.

This is a great game. I didn't expect a "fighting" game to entertain my kids (ages 5, 8, and 10)as much as this one has- and especially not at the same time, since they wind up playing it together! It is easy enough for the 5 year old but challenging enough for the older kids.
BEST FIGHTING GAME
