Few words can describe this game. I think the best word is FANTASTIC. This game is unlike any other game I have ever played. Although many people would say Gamecube is not worth getting, this and a few other games makes these statements opposit. Super Smash Melee is amazing! It has 2 single player modes (one classic mode from the original, and the other a new adventure mode). In addition it comes with three mini games. Home Run Durby *using the baseball bat item to hit a large tube across a field*, Brake the targets *from the original*, and a game where you fight really bad drones. But wait! Theres more! There is also, like in the original, a multiplayer game! There are MANY new additions in the multiplayer-like turny mode. Game play isn't the only upgrade from the original. There are now 25 players (14 starters, and 11 hidden). I havn't gotten all of the hiddens, but I have gotten three, and i know of some others. They are as follows: You 1st get Jiggly Puff *i know, argh*, then Luigi *NUBERA ONE!*, and then Dr. Mario *YES! DR. MARIO!*. I have heard rumors that there are other characters like Gandorf from Zelda, and Mewtwo. I'll try to find out the others later. But it dosn't stop here, oh NO! There are many new items too (like the Zelda bunny ears, and Mr. Saturn). Lastly, there is a new feature. This is the Trophy. You can win, and gamble for them. They're VERY cool. I hope this convinceses you to buy the game, because it sure is worth it! Well, this is Mal, signing out!

I have never played the N64 version of this game, and quite frankly wasn't all that interested in this sequel until I saw it in action. When I saw the Mario level in the adventure mode, I was sold. The level has the old school mario look down, and the reworked music is unbelievable. If you have grown up with Nintendo, as I have, you need to get this game. All the cool touches from the old games will stir up many memories.
Not to mention, this game is a blast to play, even if the characters weren't Nintendo's greats. The game moves so fast and there are so many moves to master that it will keep you playing for hours at a time. On top of that, the vast selection of extra modes will keep you coming back for more.
The graphics are, of course, outstanding. All of the famous Nintendo scenes are beautifully rendered in full 3D, and the particle and lighting effects during fights are a sight to behold.
The sound is amazing, with many famous Nintendo themes reworked or remixed with amazing symphonic and choral touches. Each character has their own set of sounds and reactions. It seems as though no detail has been spared.
This looks to be another Nintendo classic. Between this, Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion, Rogue Squadron 2, and Super Monkey Ball, it's a good time to be a GameCube owner. What's unbelievable is that the best is yet to come. We still have Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Resident Evil, Soul Calibur 2, Mario Kart, Sonic Adventure 2, and many others coming out in the next year. Go get your GameCube, and get this game!
The best party/fighter ever,period.

To start off this is under the genre of a fighter, but it is so much more than that. Great multiplayer mode, soooo much to unlock, 25 characters, 29 stages, 50 event maches, which are actually very fun, 290 trophies to earn find collect and buy,
3 1 player modes, 6 if training, stadium and event match are counted, 3 stadium modes,
Target Test - Smash Ten Targets!
Home-Run Contest - Smash Sand Bag As Far As You Can!
Multi-Man Melee - Fight For You Life! Fight!
3 Regular 1 Player Matches Are,
Classic - Defeat Each Foe To Advance!
Adventure - Clear A stage from a classic franchise (like side-scrolling mushroom kingdom) than fight boss to advance
All-Star - Defeat All Characters With 1 Life (On Normal this can get tough, on hard or very hard it's, hard or very-hard! and on either of the easy settings it's just boring)
The Characters Are:
Dr. Mario
Mario
Luigi
Princess Peach
Bowser
Yoshi
Donkey Kong
Captain Falcon
Ganondorf
Falco Lambardi
Fox McCloud
Ness
Ice Climbers
Kirby
Samus
Princess Zelda
Link
Young Link
Pichu
Pikachu
Jigglypuff
Mewtwo
Mr. Game & Watch
Marth
and
Roy
Plus over a dozen multiplayer modes.
The Game Also Sounds Great. The in game graphics are very good, but not the best. But, if you pause it and zoom in on a character, it just looks fantastic. And when you first put this dist in, don't touch the controller, the opening sequence is nothing less than beutiful.
Just buy this game it's worth the $30s. I looked at my timer when I wrote this review, i've played for 88 hours, and i'm still having fun, of course after unlocking all characters and levels, which will take between 30 and 40 hours, you will need to play with friends to stay interested.
Wow.. this is one of the many reasons to buy a Cube.

I remember the day the Game Cube came out, I was working at TRU, and everyone was asking for this game! Of course it didn't come out at launch... that would have been too easy! This was the main game to get when the system launched back in November/December 2001. This game is a fighter at its core, but it's more humorous then bloody. You fight as many of the Nintendo key characters such as Link, Mario, Zelda, Pikachu etc, against each other. There are some well known names in this group, and there are some vague characters. This is an excellent multiplayer game, but it is good as a single as well. Personally, I don't think it deserves the Teen rating it got. The first one on the N64 was rated Everyone, and I feel it should have received that as well. Yes there's violence in it, but compare it to something like Soul Calibur (great game, just more graphic), and you'll see Smash Bros is much better. With all the different characters you can be, this is a definite must have for the Cube. And at the lower price point, it's a value. A+!
Still the best game available on Game Cube

This game is too cool.There are so many options it will keep you busy for an eternity and with 26 characters and 29 stages it will keep you busy for an eternity.It also has some of the best levels since Super Mario 64.The single player mode consists of Classic Mode(which is the best single player option),Adventure Mode(which is long but fun),All Star Mode(which lets you play against all the characters),Target Test,Multi Man Melee,and Home Run Contest.The true strength of this game lies in the VS Mode matches.You can play against computer operated characters or real people.I think playing Melees against the computer is great practice for playing a real match.There are all sorts of melees like Coin,Bonus,Giant Melee (which is my favorite),Camera Mode(where you control the camera.This is a true showcase of the graphics),Tiny Melee,Invisible Melee,etc.Yeah its a lot of fun to play and the graphics are awesome considering they are basically just 2D with 3D characters.Also Super Smash Bros Melee has some of the best camera angles out of any game.The characters include Mario,Luigi,Bowser,Peach,Yoshi,Donkey Kong,Pikachu,Captain Falcon,Fox,Ice Climbers,Ness,Kirby,Samus,Zelda/Sheik,Link.The ones you can unlock are Dr. Mario,Luigi,Ganondorf,Falco,Young Link,Jiggly Puff,Mewtwo,Pichu,Mr Game And Watch,Marth and Roy.This is a must have for any fan of great games.
