'''''Super Smash Bros.''''', known in Japan as '''''Nintendo All-Star! Dairantou Smash Brothers''''' (ニンテンドウオールスター! 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ), often shortened to "'''''Smash 64'''''", "'''''SSB'''''" or "'''''SSB64'''''", is the first game of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. Created by [[HAL Laboratory]], it is the only Super Smash Bros. game to be rated E; while the other two games are rated T, according to ESRB. As a relatively low-budget game with an unusual concept, there were not originally any plans to export the game outside Japan. Only the game's unexpected popularity led to its worldwide release.

Super Smash Bros., known in Japan as Nintendo All-Star! Dairantou Smash Brothers (ニンテンドウオールスター! 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ), often shortened to "Smash 64", "SSB" or "SSB64", is the first game of the Super Smash Bros. series. Created by HAL Laboratory, it is the only Super Smash Bros. game to be rated E; while Melee and Brawl are rated T, and Smash 4 is rated E 10+, according to ESRB. As a relatively low-budget game with an unusual concept, there were not originally any plans to export the game outside Japan. Only the game's unexpected popularity led to its worldwide release.

The game was released in Japan on January 21, 1999, in North America on April 26, 1999, and in Europe on November 19, 1999. The game is playable on Nintendo 64 and the iQue Player and is available on the Wii's Virtual Console. The European Virtual Console version was released on June 12th 2009, and the American Virtual Console version was released on December 21, 2009.

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 soft platforms that can be jumped through, 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)

Kirby (as a fighter)

Tournament Standing

Legacy

Super Smash Bros. was the first 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 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.

Trivia

  • Although there are 9 stages to choose from, the only one that is consistently tournament legal - coincidentally enough - is 'Dream Land'.
