Description
Super Smash Brothers takes familiar Nintendo characters such as
Mario,
Kirby and
Donkey Kong, and gets them to fight to the death. There are 8 fully-interactive landscapes, with one for each character, with noticeable links to their games. Controls are analogue-based, with different moves executed depending on how firmly the stick is pressed. The game uses a fixed viewpoint which scrolls, although characters are rendered in 3D.
The one-player mode has 14 stages to work through. Each character has his own special move. Up to 4 human players can do battle at once, with team play as well as all-against-all action. Hidden characters are thrown in for good measure, as are bonus rounds, and a battle to the end with a giant hand (you read right).

Trivia
This is the first time that a collection of Nintendo based characters have been brought together in one game (Mario, Samus, Link, etc.). Mario Party, Mario Kart and the like was the first time a collection of MARIO based characters (in other words, characters that only appeared in Mario titles such as Super Mario World, Mario 64, etc.), so they don't count.
