This game is really cool, ecspecially at partys and other places with lots of people (well maybe not TOO many people, then they fight to play). You can choos from some of our favorite Nintendo characters, ranging from; Mario, DK, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Pikachu, Fox, and some secret characters that follow; Luigi, Ness, Captain Falcon, and Jiggly Puff! Its a fightnig game incase you didn't know that. There can be 4 players at once and can be VERY hectic at times. There can be 1-on-1-on-1-on-1, to 3-on-1, to 2-2! Items randomly drop out of nowhere and can be used for your own doings. Some of the items include; Pok�ball, Fire Flower, Heart Container, Maximum Tomato, Beam Saber, Ray Gun, Paper Fan, Homerun Bat, Bob-ombs, Hammers and many many more. The control is fun but some times is hard to attack behind you fast enough. The "C" buttons make you jump, the "A" button is your primary attack, the "B" button is your special move, and the "R" & "Z" buttons are block/throw. Pressing a direction with an attack button pulls off a different move. To defeat your opponent you must throm him/her off the edge of the arena, to do this start beating them up, to make their percentage raise, your percentage starts at 0 and goes up, the higher the percentage the farther they fly, which eventually sends 'em off the edge! This game is hard to explain, so either check out SMASH BROS.com or try VIDEOGAMES.com. Or just buy/rent the game, trust me you'll love it
