The '''GameShark''' is a cheating device designed for the [[Nintendo 64]] console. GameShark is frequently used to hack ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'', similar to how the [[Action Replay]] is used to hack into ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Apart from simply cheating at the game, it is useful for accessing content that is not normally available, such as the {{SSB|debug menu}}. Common examples include fighting in typically unaccessible [[stages]] (such as {{SSB|Final Destination}}, the "demo" stage, and beta versions of [[Dream Land]]) and playing as a normally non-playable character (such as [[Metal Mario]], {{SSB|Master Hand}}, [[Giant Donkey Kong]], or a member of the [[Fighting Polygon]]s). | The '''GameShark''' is a cheating device designed for the [[Nintendo 64]] console.

The use of GameShark with ''Super Smash Bros.'' can also trigger numerous glitches, the most common one forcing the player to play as {{SSB|Mario}} in the [[1P Game]] even after the GameShark has been removed. The only known way to undo these glitches is to erase the game data. | The use of GameShark with ''Super Smash Bros.'' can also trigger numerous glitches, the most common one forcing the player to play as {{SSB|Mario}} in the [[1P Game]] even after the GameShark has been removed.
