(series)|Super Smash Bros.]] series and was released for the Nintendo GameCube. It features 25 characters, with many being unlocked through different ways. It also features various game modes, including multiplayer mode. It features the return of [[Ness]], although this time as a starter rather than an unlockable. The game also introduced two EarthBound series stages, [[Onett]] as a starter stage, and [[Fourside]] as an unlockable stage. | '''Super Smash Bros.

Other game modes exist as well. In Training Mode, the player can fight any other character like in multiplayer mode. However, they have far greater control over the battle; for example, they can force items to spawn, decide on the speed of the battle, choose their opponent's tactics, and more. Multi-Man Melee tests players' endurance by pitting them against never ending streams of generic Wire-Frame enemies. The Home Run Stadium allows players to try to hit a Sandbag as far as possible, usually with the help of a Home Run Bat. Finally, Target Smash times players while they attempt to break a series of ten targets scattered throughout a character-specific level. | Other game modes exist as well.

Super Smash | ===Characters=== | ||
The protagonist of EarthBound, Ness, returns in Super Smash Bros. Melee. His moves are mostly similar to his previous [[Super Smash Bros.|Smash 64]] incarnation with a few changes. Some of his moves, including forward air and back air, have been given psychokinetic properties, and he has gained a new neutral aerial. The most notable change to Ness is the introduction of his new neutral special, [[PK Flash]], with [[PK Fire]] being moved to his side special. | |||
In an interview, series creator Masahiro Sakurai mentioned that he planned to replaced Ness with [[Mother 3]] protagonist [[Lucas]], however due to [[Mother 3]]'s [[EarthBound 64|delayed release]], he decided to keep Ness instead. Lucas will eventually appear alongside Ness in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. | |||
===Stages=== | |||
Super Smash Bros. Melee features two EarthBound stages: Onett and [[Fourside]]. | |||
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. | |||
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]]. | |||
===Items=== | |||
[[Mr. Saturn|Mr. Saturns]] are projectile items in Melee. Although they deal minimal damage, they can instantly destroy shields unless the opponent power shields them. Mr. Saturns are one of the items that Peach could pull out via her down special [[smashwiki:Vegetable|Vegetable]]. | |||

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. | Super Smash Bros.

*Many of Ness's PSI abilities in Super Smash Bros. were not originally his, rather they were used by [[Paula]] and [[Poo]]. These abilities are [[PK Thunder]], [[PK Fire]], and [[PSI Magnet]]. The only move he uses that's originally his own is [[PK Flash]]. Paula's trophy description mentions she probably taught Ness PK Fire and PK Thunder. | *Many of Ness's PSI abilities in Super Smash Bros. were not originally his, rather they were used by [[Paula]] and [[Poo]].

*PK Flash is interestingly a damaging move in Super Smash Bros., while it was a support move in Earthbound. | *PK Flash is interestingly a damaging move in Super Smash Bros., while it was a support move in Earthbound. | ||
