Product Description:
All of your favorite Nintendo characters have come together to answer the question: who is king of the Nintendo hill? The format can aptly be described as Super Mario Kart meets Mortal Kombat, which makes for an odd, yet addictive game. The object is to throw, punch, smash, or blast your opponents off the edge of the beautifully rendered, themed arenas. Numerous power-ups, weapons, and surprises help or hinder the melee. Your eventual goal is to fight your way through to a bizarre final boss character. Victory in this battle rewards you with another character to play, such as the scene-stealing Pokémon, Jigglypuff.

From Star Fox's laser pistol to Link's hook shot, each character's trademark special abilities are utilized to knock one another off the screen. The game does a great job balancing the characters' widely differing powers so that no one character has an insurmountable advantage. The sound and animations are also dead-on: Donkey Kong is a huge, cartoonish ape, while Link is much more detailed and realistic. And Pikachu's famous thunder shock attack is accompanied by a fearsome yell of "PIKA!"
Unlike most fighting games, Super Smash Bros. allows you to team up with a computer partner and take on other teams in both single and multiplayer modes. But the most fun is had when four human players play in a battle royale. The game quickly becomes a scene of incredibly fun chaos: picture Mario beating up on Luigi, while Donkey Kong is chased by a scampering, sledgehammer-wielding Pikachu. It's the perfect party game. --Hugh Arnold

This is a fun game to play on your N64. It's a no-brainer and you don't have to think - but you will have fun!

This is up there with the greats: Goldeneye, super mario 64, mariokart...Super Smash is a game i STILL play and have learned more and more about it in the 11 years i've been playing it. Sure, there may be some variable lag, but the truth is it still takes immense skill and the fun is eternal. If you are into video games, have an n64, get this before it's $[...]

i enjoyed playing this game a couple years ago, so i bought this for my daughter. she seems to really enjoy it. i played it before and it's a good game. when compared to melee or brawl though, this game stands out on it's own. melee and brawl don't have the old school feeling that this game has. overall i give it 4 stars.

This game is a really good game to own.
It is in the top 3 N64 games. You can choose characters, maps, and when/which packages/weapons appear. it even keeps track of scores and pecentages.
It is a good game to sit back and relax or play with friends or siblings.

Enter the fray with your favorite character (well if, like me, you have two or more favorite characters, you know what to do...) and prove to your opponents (they can be human or CPU) who rules! Super Smash Bros for the 64 is one worthful piece that reflects how so far the multiplayer action can go, and so continued on the GameCube and Wii (I own all three!). With easy gameplay, good BGM, endless multiplayer battle, great feedback when using Rumble pak, some characters info (obviously not as much as on the GC or Wii), tons of fun, and also that this game left the necessary for its successors; SSB is worthy to own. If you still don't have this "jewel", hurry up and find it! You 64 owners should have it! Consider four good-working controllers and rumble paks.
But the only bad thing. As all SSB games, you'll feel bored after twenty multiplayer battles (just to say sth), well but that's no problem. The action continues!
