{{About|the game for the Nintendo 64|the series as a whole|[[Super Smash Bros. (series)]]}}
'''''Super Smash Bros.''''' is the first game of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series that was released on [[Nintendo 64]] in 1999. Created by [[HAL Laboratory]], it is the only ''Super Smash Bros.'' game with an E rating by the ESRB; while ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' are rated T, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U|for 3DS / Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]'' are rated E10+.

''Super Smash Bros.'' was ported to the iQue Player on November 15, 2005, and is the only iQue Player game to feature Kirby. ''Super Smash Bros.'' was also ported to the [[Wii]]'s Virtual Console in 2009.

==Characters==
There are twelve playable characters in ''Super Smash Bros.'', eight of which are available from the start, and four of which are unlockable. Each character has three special moves and many basic attacks. Kirby's special moves include [[Inhale]], [[Final Cutter]], and [[Stone]].

==Kirby (as a fighter)==
[[File:SSB Kirby artwork.png|thumb|200px|right|Kirby's artwork from ''Super Smash Bros.'']]
Kirby is one of the eight starter characters in this game. He is notable for his small stature, light weight (with only Jigglypuff being lighter), and multiple mid-air jumps. Despite his size, many of his attacks have a noticeably long range, with a particularly absurd example being his up-tilt standard attack. His most prominent feature, however, is his [[Inhaling|Inhale]] ability, which allows him to copy the neutral-special moves of every other fighter. This makes him extremely versatile in casual play, and a good fighter for beginners to pick up.

===Move-set===
Much of Kirby's entourage of attacks were made up for this game, but some are based on his moves from the ''Kirby'' series. Kirby's attacks are as follows:
====Standard Ground====
*Neutral - Kirby jabs his opponent rapidly, similar to [[Fighter|Vulcan Jab]].
*Forward tilt - Kirby does a spinning kick forward - with decent range.
*Up tilt - Kirby kicks upward behind him, dealing damage at a very large range.
*Down tilt - Kirby kicks forward while crouching, sweeping the floor.
*Dash attack - Kirby body slams into the ground. This move may be inspired by [[King Dedede]]'s body slam.
*Forward smash - Kirby does a strong kick as he steps forward. Based on [[Fighter|Spin Kick]].
*Up smash - Kirby performs a bicycle kick, doing a back-flip in the process.
*Down smash - Kirby spins with his feet out, hitting on both sides.

====Standard Aerial====
*Neutral aerial - Kirby kicks one foot out in front, dealing damage for a good while.
*Forward aerial - Kirby extends both feet out and drills, dealing multiple hits.
*Back aerial - Kirby kicks out with both feet behind, dealing a quick hit.
*Up aerial - Kirby performs the 'Twinkle Star' move, spinning with arms and feet extended outward.
*Down aerial - Kirby drills with both feet downward, which can be used to send foes down.

====Throws====
*Forward - Kirby flies up off-screen with his foe, then crashes back down. This move is based on the [[Ninja|Air Drop]] technique.
*Back - Kirby performs a backward suplex on his enemy. Based on the [[Backdrop]] ability.

====Special====
*[[Inhaling|Vacuum]] - Kirby inhales, which will allow him to swallow up fighters who are close-by (within range of a grab). From there, Kirby can either spit them back out as a temporary [[Star Bullet]], or 'swallow' them to copy their neutral special move (and gain a hat based on the fighter swallowed). Kirby can discard this move by taunting, or will lose it if he is hit by a strong attack (at random).
*[[Final Cutter]] - Based on the last hit of the Cutter combo, Kirby takes out a blade, rises into the air, then crashes back down, releasing a shock wave on landing. Kirby can use this move to gain some height when recovering and can grab the ledge with it, but it can be easy to intercept. When falling downward, Kirby can send his opponent flying downward with the blade if timed right.
*[[Stone]] - Kirby transforms into stone and crashes downward. He is invulnerable to all attacks except for grabs while in this form and will damage opponents he collides with while falling.

===Tournament Standing===
Kirby is currently ranked 2nd on the ''Super Smash Bros.'' tier list - in the S rank behind Pikachu, as produced by the Smashboards community. This is due in large part to his strong and versatile attacks, most notably the disjointed ones. His light weight and numerous jumps also allow him to escape combos that other characters would not be able to. He has good match-ups against most of the rest of the cast, but is on even footing with Mario, and is at a disadvantage against Pikachu. 

Kirby is well-represented in SSB64 tournaments and often takes the top positions, which is in stark contrast to his placement in the other games in the series.

==Stages==
There are nine stages in ''Super Smash Bros.'', with one unlockable stage. The Kirby series' stage is [[smashwiki:Dream Land (SSB)|Dream Land]].
*[[smashwiki:Dream Land (SSB)|Dream Land]]
*[[smashwiki:Saffron City (SSB)|Saffron City]]
*[[smashwiki:Hyrule Castle (SSB)|Hyrule Castle]]
*[[smashwiki:Sector Z (SSB)|Sector Z]]
*[[smashwiki:Congo Jungle (SSB)|Congo Jungle]]
*[[smashwiki:Peach's Castle (SSB)|Peach's Castle]]
*[[smashwiki:Planet Zebes (SSB)|Planet Zebes]]
*[[smashwiki:Yoshi's Island (SSB)|Yoshi's Island]]

===Unlockable Stages===

==Elements from the ''Kirby'' series==
Beyond having Kirby as a playable fighter and other more superficial elements from the series, ''Super Smash Bros.'' takes many cues from the ''Kirby'' series - most notably ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', which was the previous major project that director Masahiro Sakurai was involved in. Like ''Super Star'', this game involves characters using multiple jumps to traverse side-scrolling arenas with [[thin floor]]s, in addition to the characters having several different types of moves activated by simple directional inputs and a [[Guard]] in the form of a shield. (the bubble shield itself resembling the [[Mirror]] ability's Guard)

A number of items can appear during regular matches, a few of which are from the ''Kirby'' series. These include:
*[[Maxim Tomato]] - A recovery item that can heal up to 100% [[damage]]. Notable in that it does not heal all damage - like its ''Kirby'' series counterparts.
*[[Star Rod]] - A battering item that tosses out up to 16 stars when it's swung hard. Based on the object of the same name and appearance from ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''.

==Legacy==
''Super Smash Bros.'' was the first finished game to feature Kirby as a 3D model. As such, it cemented many aesthetics about Kirby that carry forward to his current design. In addition, this was the first time that Kirby [[Kirby's voice|was given a voice]], being the first time [[Makiko Ohmoto]] voiced him. Thus, Kirby gained his signature greeting/taunt of 'Hi!' from this game. Kirby's aesthetic from this game would be more-or-less directly translated to the next game in the ''Kirby'' series - ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''.

The final boss of the [[smashwiki:Classic Mode|1-P Game]], [[Master Hand]] - would later appear as a [[Mid-Boss]] in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''.

==Trivia==
*Although there are nine stages to choose from, the only one that is consistently tournament legal - coincidentally enough - is 'Dream Land'.
*Although [[King Dedede]] would not appear as a fighter until ''Brawl'', he can be seen in the background of the 'Dream Land' stage in this game.
**King Dedede, along with [[bulbapedia:Mewtwo|Mewtwo]] and [[mariowiki:Bowser|Bowser]] were originally going to be in the playable fighters but were later scrapped.
***Mewtwo and Bowser would become available in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', whilst King Dedede would become playable in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
