===Characters===
The protagonist of EarthBound, Ness, returns in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
In an interview, series creator Masahiro Sakurai mentioned that he planned to replaced Ness with [[Mother 3]] protagonist [[Lucas]], however because Mother 3 was struggling in development, he decided to keep Ness instead. Lucas will eventually appear alongside Ness in the next Smash Bros. title.

Super Smash Bros. Melee features two EarthBound stages: Onett and [[Fourside]].  


Onett featured the [[Drug Store]] and many cars drive by the stage, including the [[Runaway Five]] bus. There are two themes present on this stage: the first one being a remix of Bein' Friends and the [[Eight Melodies]] from EarthBound Beginnings, and the second one being a remix of [[Pollyanna]].
Onett is mainly fought on some buildings, which include two generic buildings and the [[Drug Store]]. Many cars drive by the stage and act as stage hazards, including the [[Runaway Five]] bus. In the background, many references to the different buildings and landmarks in [[Eagleland]] could be seen, including a crane from the [[Dusty Dunes Desert]], a hill with Ness and Pokey's house, and the meteorite. There are two themes present on this stage, the main theme being a remix of Bein' Friends and the [[Eight Melodies]] from EarthBound Beginnings, and the alternative theme being a remix of [[Pollyanna]]. The themes are titled "Mother" and "Mother 2," respectively.


On Fourside, the UFO from the intro to EarthBound will occasionally enter the Fourside stage, playing the static effect that is also from the intro. The stage is fought on top of the Monotoli building helipad, along with many other buildings including.  
Fourside is fought on top of the Monotoli building helipad, along with many other buildings including one that resembles the [[Dinosaur Museum]]. The UFO from the intro to EarthBound will occasionally enter the Fourside stage, playing the static effect that is also from the intro. Fourside's appearance is significantly darker than it's EarthBound counterpart as the stage is set in a nighttime environment; this may also be a reference to [[Moonside]]. Fourside only has one theme titled "EarthBound," which is a remix of the theme that plays in Fourside, [[Held in a Skyscraper]], and small background notes of [[Smiles and Tears]].

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.
