I have noticed that the point of veiw in this article sometimes changes from the point of veiw of the series to the point of view of the game when it should remain at the point of view of the game (ex. "while all characters from The Legend of Zelda have a Triforce symbol." and there is only one character from zelda). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.39.99.22 ( talk) 21:42, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
I would say that the proximity mines in goldeneye are not related to the ones in SSB. I think that should be removed (and the section made longer) Playwrite 23:47, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
I remember a long time ago I read that Super Smash Bros. was being developed for the SNES or Super Famicom but was cancelled for later development for the Nintendo 64 version. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about that. I've been looking online for something about it, but I think it'd be interesting to get some information on the SNES version. Has anyone else heard this?
Since Super Smash Bros. contains the Pokémon franchise, I think that the upwards ring out into the background is derived from Team Rocket's infamous "launch into the sky and disappear as a little dot". Any thoughts? Oh, and I think the same goes for Melee as well. -- Geopgeop 13:46, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
I improved the relevance and diction of the Character section, but I left the cleanup tag because it still needs work. Is all that stuff about the "pro circuit" really relevant to most readers? I think more specific info about items and attacks would be a big improvement.'

The star thing is related to anime and the game for very specific reasons. If you read the games manual, it describes the game as "wackey manga action" or something to do with manga's. This is also on the back of the games boxart and can be told by the character art that it does have somethig to do with anime or mangas.
Okay, it WOULD NOT say manga action. Manga is a graphic novel. Anime is the...other thing.
Actually, in SSBM there is such a thing as 'Rocket KO'. It's a special bonus. And I'm pretty sure it's only added when you do the team rocket thing. I don't have a copy of SSBM but you could do a couple tests. I did try it in SSB and it doesn't have 'Rocket K.O.' But ,then again, many special bonuses weren't added until SSBM. I guess the idea of the star effect was put in because of Pokemon but never had an effect or speculation for it's purpose until SSBM.
And you could make the argument the star effect is in much anime, but only Pokemon uses it consistently and has relevence to Nintendo.[[User:SxeFluff-- SxeFluff ( talk) 04:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)]] 22:51, 20 November 2007
There's not a trivia section? one thing i find interesting is that the entire game is kinda based off of Hal's Kirby Super Star for SNES. The master hand is just a boss called "Bam Bam Rock" and uses all the same attacks.
The controls are very similar and you'll notice many similar attacks and enemies from the game.
Not having sources is enough to fail this article, but there are other problems:

This section is not notated very well (at all) and is very contradictory. It states that there is very little criticism, but goes on to say that many hated the simplified controls and 'outdated' graphics. If no one objects I'm just going to delete this section. -- Thaddius 14:18, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Many game reviewers noted the weak single-player mode. I believe that is worthy of note. People get so caught up in the multiplayer matches that they forget the single-player mode even exists. The Legend of Miyamoto 02:40, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm very interested in seeing a source for this claim that Pit was supposed to be in instead of Jigglypuff. Can anyone help me (and this article) out? -- Xubelox 20:54, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
well errr jigglypuff in my opion was not the best character sleep attack blah and as for captain falcon hes the best and mothra was also supposed to be in the game so instead of my godzilla idea the four axed out were: peach, bowser, mothra and pit
The whole point of the game was to have Nintendo characters fighting each other. They wouldn't randomly bring in a movie monster like Mothra. 74.138.7.148 00:57, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Metal Mario is not unlockable in this game without the use of a Gameshark. Completing Vary Hard with 3 lives doesn't unlock him, nor will anything else. Please stop posting this under unlockable characters!
___
I have personally beaten this game as both Link and as Ness with one life on very hard with no continues. There are absolutely no unlocks for doing so. Perhapse if it could be done with every character, however I doubt that is the case. Maybe someone able to finally provide proof of this could step forward. Another rumor I saw a few years ago involved the character's faces turning into a scowl, but that is also untrue. As I said, nothing happens.
I removed the citation needed because honestly I don't know what kind of citation you could possibly reference. It's just a fact, I've done it, but I guess unless someone went to the trouble of posting video proof, or could show a snippet of actual code for the unlocks, citation will not exist.

Someone thought it was a good idea to remove the whole list of pokemon that appear in the game without discussing it first. I've added them back to the page. Maybe people think they belong somewhere else -- a trivia section perhaps? But I don't know. Before we change it dramatically, why don't we discuss first. In defense of the list, it's the only place you can find anything like it (in english). -- Nick 13:34, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
How do you activate the debug mode in the original game? I've never even heard of it.
I think asked that a while ago. I'm not sure, I've found no gameshark codes (even when I tell it not to search for melee debug mode, it still does), and I heard on youtube that it can be accessed through the use of an emulator. —↑ Darklinkskywalker| Talk_| i did this stuff_↓ 02:34, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't remember this. Anyone that's heard a bowling ball hitting pins would know that's a totally inappropriate sound for a thwack or hit. The sound in the North American game is like a violent "WHACK." I'm changing this. Brutannica 19:07, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
WHY ? you cant change history.........
I believe Brutannica was saying that they were editing out "Anyone that's heard a bowling ball hitting pins would know that's a totally inappropriate sound for a thwack or hit. The sound in the North American game is like a violent "WHACK."" That was an opinion, so Brutannica edited it out.

The game has NO known story. Any theories on what could possibly be a story is nothing more than original research. This includes the whole Master Hand is some child's hand thing. If there is no story, it certainly does not need a section, so go discuss your theories somewhere else. 199.126.137.209 19:56, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

How can you access Debug Mode in Super Smash Bros? What's the cheat code for it?
Would "battle royal" be a good translation of "dairantō"?
On "Dairantō Smash Brothers DX" when it's set to Japanese, the announcer says "Battle Royal" when you select "dairantō" mode. Also, in "Nintendo All-Star! Dairantō Smash Brothers", you can see "Roya" in the background on the mode select screen.

I noticed that there's a section talking about the changes in sounds from Japanese to English, but not a single mention of how Samus was given a real voice in the original Japanese game (her voice actor is even mentioned in the article!) but she has nothing more than "robot sounds" in the English version. I think that's a lot more of a "notable change" than what's currently in that section... 63.215.28.146 03:37, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

The screenshots need fair use rationales to keep it's GA status. Look to other GA video game articles for examples. Also, the box cover should be downsized on its image page, 800x550 is probably too big. Just shrink it down in an outside program and reupload it. -- Nehrams2020 21:10, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
This article fails many aspects of the Good Article Critieria. If someone is willing to listen I will put them here to be fixed. Otherwise I must put this on the GAR.
From Criteria 1:
"Reviews for Super Smash Bros. were almost universally positive" 79%? Hardly. Needs to be reworded.
Characters section is bordering on game guide info. No prose, just list of abilities? Kind of weird.
From Criteria 2:
My expectation if I was to pass this would be one citation per paragraph. This has whole sections without them.
Lead:0
Gameplay:0
Characters:0
Stages:0
Reception: Has a {{fact}} tag
Voice Talent:0
From Criteria 3:
Gameplay: I've played this game before, and this gameplay section completely neglects anything about the single player. This is rather important, yet the only thing I can think of off the top of my head. If I think of more, I'll list them.
Development: A game like Super Smash Bros only having three sentences on the development? I expected several paragraphs with interviews, marketing, changes, anything (well almost anything) is better than what's there now.
Reception: This was so short it surprised me. I expected a paragraph about general scores and inital reactions, a paragraph on critics really liked, a paragraph on what they didn't like, and anything else you think of. There were no quotes, no actual words, just a little tidbit. Also, there's no legacy section about sequels or apperances, which has a place in there.
From Criteria 4:
Really the only problem here is a lack of criticism and many unanswered questions that were dismissed with "such as the removal of the traditional health bars".
From Criteria 6:
None of the images have a fair use rationale.
Other things
Release dates should be superscript, not flags.
Ring out is a red link
The Nintendo Power slash in the wikitable is backwards
Try to fill out cite web as fully as possible. Authors, publishers, access date, date of publication, format.
VG FAs and
VG GAs are a good place to look for ideas.
I know it's a lot, but I'll wait.-- Clyde ( talk) 23:29, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Anyway, I do not understand how there is a lack of crit when we have a section about it. About Images, I have spoken about this, and it will be done, as soon as I can find someone who can do it properly. Development: Your problem was completly POV. "A game like Smash"? Do we really need a huge section? Besides, what info is there? A bunch of rumors. And since when was a score of 79% not positive? For the time, Smash was something "out there" and unheard of in gaming, so of course critics will be caught off guard. Look, if the admins think its such a horible article, then it should have promoted in the first place. Good day. Quatreryukami 01:59, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
As for your tips, I'll begin research right away. Not as much untill tonite, when I get home, cuz the school blocks any good sites. Suprised wiki isn't blocked, actually. Quatreryukami 15:08, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

There is a picture released on google images of all the characters available, and I just wanted to know if anyone knows who Black Shadow is.-- Gundor Twintle Fluffy 18:44, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
That image is a fake, so ignore it.
Someone messed with the age ratings for this game, so I sorted it out, though I may have made a little error. Just make sure this doesn't happen again.
Shouldn't we be searching for more references for this article? Since I already cleaned up the layout of the page, it would only take more references to get this article back to Good status. I'd do it myself, but I'm not sure which statements need references. Cat's Tuxedo 22:32, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
umm, I wanted to see a complete list of all the characters in the game, but there isn't one compile. Can someone add a proper list on the article for me to read. Thanks Govvy 18:14, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Should someone add that screen? The melee article has it. All we would need are pictures of the characters in their boxes.-- Smashbrosboy

I'm not sure what OR stands for (original research?). I've edited some sections of the article. E.g. I edited "Some examples are pokeballs that have a pokemon come out to help you for a period of time and food which replenishes health." to "An example is Pokeballs, which produce a random Pokemon to help the player or food to lower damage percent.", but I think the example should be removed altogether. I also edited your third point.
