1-Player Mode[]
The 1-Player Mode in SSB is similar to Classic Mode in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl. The player
goes thorugh certain stages fighting certain characters. In this game, however, the player fights all the fighters in the same order, where in Melee and Brawl, it is random.
VS. Mode[]
VS. Mode is the part of the game where players can battle whatever and
wherever they want. They can select their own character and stage to fight on. The player may set their own rules and what items can appear on the stages. This feature stayed through all 3 games, staying the same.
Trivia[]
- Super Smash Bros. was originally called Dragon King: A Fighting Game.
- The Character Select Screen has the 8 starter characters in order from oldest to newest.
- In the Japanese version of teh game, Mario and Luigi have slightly bigger heads than any other version.
