WHO IS NINTENDO’S TOUGHEST VIDEO GAME CHARACTER? It’s "Smashing Time" As Super Smash Bros.’ Comes To Town On April 26

REDMOND, Wash., April 26, 1999 – Mario bashing Yoshi? Pikachu body-slamming Link? Donkey Kong pummeling Samus? The battle to end all battles is here! Eight Nintendo superstars get "down and dirty" in N64’s newest game, Super Smash Bros., where players decide who is the world’s toughest video game character. Each of Super Smash Bros. superstars, including Mario, Kirby, Yoshi, Link from The Legend of Zelda, Samus Aran from Metroid, Donkey Kong, Fox McCloud and Pikachu, duke it out for the video game championship. Super Smash Bros. is now available for a suggested retail price of $59.95.

"Nintendo 64 owners get to pit all their favorite characters against one another," says Peter Main, Nintendo’s executive vice president, sales and marketing. "The combination of action, familiar faces, and a fantastic multi-player mode will make Super Smash Bros. a guaranteed hit." Players can compete against the computer to defeat the hidden boss in "tournament mode" or invite friends over for an all-out four-player "battle royal." There also is the option to go two-on-two in the game’s awesome multi-player mode.

The game’s 3-D battle arenas reflect each character’s homeworld. In Pikachu’s level, Pokémon randomly pop up out of nowhere; and Link’s arena takes place near Castle Hyrule, where powerful tornadoes make for hair-raising action.

In addition to the arenas, each of the game’s heroes have individual weapons and special attacks. Fox McCloud challenges his enemy with a trusty laser blaster; Link carries the Master Sword and Donkey Kong uses his legendary strength. There also are plenty of hidden items and power-ups available to all of the characters including Fire Flowers, Red Shells and the Home Run Bat.

The game is easy to learn and players can instantly immerse themselves in the graphic splendor and fast game play. Super Smash Bros. is compatible with Nintendo’s Rumble Pak’, which enables players to "feel" every punch, kick and special attack. A variety of difficulty modes and a training session allow anyone to pick up a controller and jump right into the action.

Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, is the acknowledged worldwide leader in the creation of interactive entertainment. To date, Nintendo has sold more than one billion video games worldwide, has created such industry icons as Mario and Donkey Kong and launched franchises like The Legend of Zelda and Pokémon. Nintendo manufactures and markets hardware and software for its popular home video game systems, including the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy – the world’s best-selling video game system. As a wholly owned subsidiary, Nintendo of America Inc., based in Redmond, Wash., serves as headquarters for Nintendo's operations in North America.

Press Release

It's a four-player smash fest filled with Nintendo's biggest stars! Pick your favorite character, and let the pummeling commence!

Can Link beat up Mario? Can Yoshi deck Donkey Kong? Can Kirby punch out Pikachu? These and other age-old questions can finally be answered, because the first-ever tournament fighter boasting an all-star cast of Nintendo heroes (and one heroine) has hit store shelves with the impact of a Fox McCloud roundhouse.

Crossing multiple universes and alternate dimensions, the most popular of Nintendo's characters grace this bare-knuckle Pak. The 12 superstars are Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox McCloud, Jigglypuff, Ness, Captain Falcon and Pikachu.

This awesome lineup answers long-debated questions of the characters' comparative strengths, and the idea of a battle between Donkey Kong and Pikachu is downright hilarious. Each character has a specific 3D fighting arena, with power-ups and obstacles scattered throughout the areas. Two to four players can fight simultaneously on the same screen, or one player can battle through the tournament ladder to reach a secret boss at the summit.

The goal is to knock your opponent out of the playing field as many times as possible within a specified time limit. If you dominate the competition, you can kick them so hard they fly into the sky and turn into a constellation. Link hacks away with his Master Sword, Yoshi slurps up enemies and turns them into eggs, and Fox McCloud is strapped with his trusty Blaster. If you get into trouble, any character can take advantage of classic special attack items like Fire Flowers and Bob-ombs.

Super Smash Bros. is extremely easy to learn, but to become a true master takes many hours of practice. Subtle technique can mean the difference between victory and defeat, and each character has unique strengths and weaknesses to learn and put to use.

Super Smash Bros. is full of surprises, like Pikachu's level where random Pokémon are always popping up. It's strange to see two good guys like Mario and Fox McCloud butting heads, but don't worry. When the battle is over you'll discover that all of the characters are actually good friends.

Back of Box - N64 (Europe)

The first Super Smash Bros. game introduced us to an exciting genre of fighting games. Pikachu, Mewtwo, and others proudly represented Pokémon in this classic N64 title.

It's not exclusively a Pokémon game, but Super Smash Bros. still counts some of the most popular Pokémon of all time among its roster of famous video game characters. Fighting alongside video game stalwarts such as Mario™ and Donkey Kong™, the small but fierce Pikachu unleashes powerful Electric-type attacks to send its opponents flying.

Pikachu won't be the lone Pokémon in the fight, though. Hidden within the game is the cute Jigglypuff, whose soothing melody can lull opponents to sleep. Jigglypuff isn't available right away—players have to perform special tasks before the pink Pokémon will be available.

In addition to Pikachu and Jigglypuff, several Kanto locales are featured as stages, including Saffron City, one of the major hubs in the Kanto region.
