'''''Super Smash Bros.''''', often shortened to "'''''Smash 64'''''", "'''''SSB'''''" or "'''''SSB64'''''", 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; while ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' are rated T, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4|Smash 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]'' are rated E10+, according to ESRB.

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===

*[[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).

*[[Cutter|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.

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 [[Fall-through Platform]]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)

*[[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]]''/''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''.

**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]]''.
