It is the predecessor of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and the pre-predecessor to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as well as the super-predecessor to the upcoming game, ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It is the only Super Smash Bros. game to be rated E; all the others are T, according to ESRB. Likewise, in PAL regions, ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' are rated 12, while ''SSB'' is only rated 7. As a relatively low-budget game with an unusual concept, there were not originally any plans to export the game outside Japan. Only the game's unexpected popularity lead to its worldwide release.


The game was released in Japan on January 21, 1999, in North America on April 26, 1999, and in Europe on November 19, 1999. The game is playable on [[Nintendo 64]] and the [[Nintendo 64|iQue Player]] and is available on the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]]. The European Virtual Console version was released on June 12th 2009, and the American Virtual Console version was released on December 21, 2009.

*The original Smash Bros. was originally going to be a game called ''[[Dragon King: The Fighting Game]]'' for the [[SNES]] which used the Super FX chip but was later moved to the N64, and didn't have any Nintendo characters at all.

This car was released by diecast toy car company Team Lightning, and was given the full name of ''Tom Daniel's "Trouble Maker" - Super Smash Bros. (1971 Chevrolet El Camino)''. These cars can still be purchased to this day via online stores such as eBay.
