Super Smash Bros. Melee

Super Smash Bros. Melee is the second game in the Super Smash Bros. series of games, released for the Nintendo GameCube.

Characters
Like its predecessor, Super Smash Bros. Melee features Ness, the main character of EarthBound. However, unlike the last game, where he was an unlockable character, Ness is available from the start.

Game modes
Super Smash Bros. Melee allows players to go into Adventure Mode, where the chosen character will go through several planets, each of them being where another playable character has been involved with. For example, Samus Aran, the main character of the Metroid series, will be found in Brinstar.

Reception
Super Smash Bros. Melee has gotten relatively high scores from many gaming websites, getting an 8.9/10 on GameSpot, which praised the game for keeping many of the previous game elements, but managing to be a game of its own. It was criticized for the Zelda stage in Adventure mode and over-responsive controls, however.
