Ever since this game came out I have heard nothing but Super Smash Bros Melee. I tried it out a year or so after it came out and played it for like 10 minutes. I couldn't figure anything out or understand exactly what to do. So I just stopped and thought this isn't the game for me. Well it is now mostly 3 years after the game came out and I just bought it the other day. I played it again and still thought man this game is dumb. I thought I had wasted my $30 dollars and couldn't do anything about it. Well I had bought James Bond and Mission Inpossible to so I played them for awhile and went back to SSBM for the last time. I played for 30 minutes and finally understood everything on it. In the end I ended up playing for 2 hours and after that I loved it. Don't make the same mistake I did purchase this game and continue playing it. This is like the best multiplayer game you can get because their is not one slow down or glitch in the game and it is so fast paced. I would reccomend this to anyone.

This game, well.........I'm speechless. It's the best game, ever. I was a great fan of the N64 version, and I really enjoyed beating my friends( or fools)who challenged me. Now, when i tried the gamecube version, i was, like I said before, speechless. The game comes with soooo much more items, levels and so on... If you even slightly liked the N64 version, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BUY THIS ...GAME.
Our favorite Nintendo characters are at war again !

When Super Smash Bros. came for the Nintendo 64 as the first four player fighting game, it started an unspeakable revolution with its rich high quality graphics, breathtaking gameplay, a wide selection of unforgetable Nintendo and Rare characters, and a wide variety of game modes to choose from. Super Smash Bros. was so great, that even some of those N64 haters loved how it played and how it looked. It almost plays just like one of Capcom's fighting games. Now the Nintendo 64 is about to leap to its grave once the new Powerpuff Girls game comes as the last N64 game, Shigeru Miyamoto now gives us fighting fans a new and improved Super Smash Bros. That's right, I'm talking about the new hit Nintendo fighter, Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube. Super Smash Bros. Melee as you know, is the sequel to the smash hit N64 game, Super Smash Bros. Everyone you've known and loved (and love to hate) from the Nintendo universe are all here. Fox, Mario, Pikachu, Link (My favorite), Zelda/Sheik, Captain Falcon, The Ice Climbers, Dr. Mario, Ness, Bowser, Jigglypuff, and more. And plus, expect some perfectly good secret characters, and yes, Luigi is still a secret character. The game still remained the same as its Nintendo 64 predecessor, but unlike the prequel, it has more game modes and for the first time ever, you can either go on a regular battle mode, where you normally battle all kinds of opponents, or you can go to adventure mode, where you can battle your way through a side scrolling stage. Possibly one of the coolest aspects of the gameplay, and it makes it much more long lasting. Not to mention, the multiplayer modes are very addictive, leaving your friends with a deep urge to play over and over again. The graphics are soooo great, they almost looked too real (just wait until Resident Evil come on the Gamecube). The characters have flawless textures (you should see how Link looks like up close. And check out the texture on Mario and Luigi's outfits !) and the backgrounds never looked better. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the graphics whatsoever. This is far by, the best technology I've ever seen since the PS2 and the Dreamcast ! The gameplay still remained the same as its predecessor, but who cares ? Besides...this is Super Smash Bros. Melee we're talking about ! This game has spectacular controls and it still plays and feels just like one of Capcom's fighting games (think Street Fighter and Power Stone). Controling the characters is a snap and its not that hard to master if you already played the first one. A neat new feature in the game is the "Smash Move". With this new element, you will be able to unleash your character's signature special attack. The coolest aspect in the gameplay in my opinion. The sound is far by, pretty cool. Although some voice samples were taken from the old N64 game and some new additional audio, the voices sound pretty cool. And the music sounds very cool. Nintendo has remixed almost all of the classic NES and SNES songs perfectly (you should hear the theme from Legend of Zelda II on Link and Zelda's stage). Another graceful feature in the game. All in all, this is one of the greatest 3D fighters that Nintendo has ever made and it will never be forgotten. Everyone will like playing this game. You'll like it, your friend will like it, your brothers and sisters will like it, even your parents will like it...just kidding ! But hey ! I know I like it ! If you had your enjoyments with the first game, Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube is an excellent choice for you Gamecube owners out there !

I look at all the reviews, most of what I see is five stars or one star. This game is a five star game, and any one that says this game is a one star is just looking for something to do because their X box or PS2 has already gotten boring. SSBM is the best game I have ever played, every thing about Game Cube is better than PS2 and X Box.
amazing!!

2 get mewto u need to battle 800 minutes or kill one of the charactrs 800 times in 1 game. To get Ganondorf u need 2 do the same as mewto 700 times. u have 2 go on an adventure classic to get jigglypuff. u need to battle with 2 players for1 hour and u get marth. the rest r soooooooooooo easay so u guys work it out urself and be careful of jigglypuff because if u lose ,u wont get jigglypuff but mewto and ganondorf u have 2 kill or u wont get and so with the rest of the hidden characters. u use down B to transform from zelda 2 sheik. sheik is my favourite character and so is mewto and pickachu. i like mewtos shadow ball, pickachus thunder and sheiks kicks and ganondorf and captain falcons super hyper mega punch(which is B).i reckon that sheik pickachu peach(im good with her but if ur not dont include her) ganondorf captainfalcon link young link mario luigi jigglypiff because her rollout.......................

I think this game deseves a perfect 5 out of 5 stars because it has 25 different characters to choose from. And there's a whole bunch of levels to unlock along with 292 trophies to collect. This game is a challenge to completely beat and is even slightly hard just to get all the characters ad levels. This is also my favorite game of all time and if you have a Gamecube and don't have this game, I suggest you buy it right away.
