Design
The levels in this game are based off of the original games the characters are from. For example, the starfox level takes place on the spine of a giant space ship. While maintaining the atmosphere of a 3D fighter, the player only uses two dimensions. The levels are set up so that faling off the edge means losing a life.
The concept of the game is interesting. The opening conematics show the characters as toys in a child’s room. The idea is that the characters are being manipulated much like a child would do with two action figures. This is employed especially well into the game because the player then gets to step into this childlike magic circle and battle with these toys. The fact that the final boss is a giant hand simply called the master hand fits this concept all the more.
Gameplay
Single player is fun, but the true replay value of this game comes in it’s multiplayer. This game has stood the test of time since I still know people who play it, and are incredibly good at it. The memorization of each special move allows players to develop unique strategies against each other character.

Summary
Super Smash Bros is a crossover fighting game released on the Nintendo 64 where players fight eachother as different Nintendo characters.
Gameplay
This fighting game differs from other fighting games in a lot of ways. Instead of a health bar that is reduced over time, the character’s damage is measured in a percentage that increases as they are hit. The higher their percentage, the easier they will die. The fighting abailites range greatly from each character. A character like Link has many projectile weapons as is appropriate for his fictional background in zelda. Other characters have special moves that help them in most situations, while lacking in other departments that leaves the inexperienced player at a disadvantage.
The single player mode offers many different types of gameplay. Each level changes the fighting style the player must use to complete it. While the classic one on one brawl is entertaining, the player must work with computer allies, destroy dozens of polygon people, board platforms and break targets. The boss is a giant hand. By playing through the single player mode several times the player can unlock several other characters to fight as.
