The beginning of a revolution in fighting games | Super Smash Bros | Retro Gaming Review 🎮

Super Smash Bros. is a fighting game developed by HAL Laboratory and distributed by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 system in 1999. This game is known in Japan as Nintendo All Star! for its English translation. It is the first in a series of fighting games where we will see the characters of different Nintendo games and some who have been added, hitting each other. This game got good reviews and by the time, it reached 8.7 million copies sold.

The game mode is quite entertaining since it promotes multiplayer games, where 2 - 4 people can play at the same time in a scenario where everyone will have the same visibility. The dynamic consists in weakening your opponent, the more hits you receive, the more damage you will do and this will make you be thrown out of the stage easily.

When you exceed the stage's limits, you die and return to the game with your % at zero. The person who causes the most death to his opponents and falls least in battle will win the game. For this you define a time of 5 minutes, for example.

There are also some additional game modes, such as for life. The number of lives can be defined and whoever loses all of them is disqualified. There are different objects that can help you recover the % of damage or simply they are weapons that will help you to attack and plan your combat strategy.

Everything will depend on the conditions you wish to set in battle. The game has a fairly simple story mode and a challenge mode.
