SUMMARY
Playing Super Smash Brothers for the first time was awesome. You basically have to kill off your opponents by throwing them off the platform by using your magical powers (each character has their own unique power). The percents on the bottom of the screen account for the amount of damage you have. The more damage that builds up, the farther an opponent flies each time it gets hit. Each player has four lives and after the fourth, your character dies.
GAMEPLAY
Super Smash Brothers is a very interactive game. It allows you to "trash talk" to your opponents as Jigglypuff sings them to sleep or while Pikachu constantly says his name every time he throws his blue ray of fire. You can play with up to four people, so that keeps the game stimulating and interesting. We had many friends just standing around, awaiting their next turns, which made me feel like we had an audience, keeping the competitive vibe in the air.
I really liked the assortment of characters from the big bad Donkey Kong to the cute and cuddly little Yoshi. And the fact that every character had its own special powers kept the excitement of picking a new player each game. After a while, it became clearly obvious that your choice in character really doesn't matter if you don't know how to use their powers. This was clearly displayed by my roommate, who was violently jabbing at the controls frustrated by the fact that her Donkey Kong was getting trashed by Pikachu.
