'''''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.

Brawl|Brawl]]'' are rated T, and '''[[Super Smash Bros. 4|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. | ||

==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) | |||

==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'. | |||
