Super Smash Bros.: Difference between revisions

[[Masahiro Sakurai]] was interested in making a fighting game for four players. His initial design for the game was called ''Kakuto-Geemu Ryuoh'' (''[[Dragon King: The Fighting Game]]'')<ref name="Hobby"/>, which featured simple characters. After presenting the game to co-worker [[Satoru Iwata]], he helped Sakurai continue on with the project. Sakurai understood that many fighting games did not sell well, so he tried to make his game original.<ref name= Hobby/> His first idea was to include famous Nintendo characters and put them into the fray.<ref name="Hobby"/> Knowing he would not get permission to do so, Sakurai created a prototype of the game without sanction from Nintendo and did not inform them until he was sure the game was well-balanced.<ref name="Hobby"/> The prototype he presented featured [[Mario]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Samus Aran]], and [[Fox McCloud]] as playable characters. The idea was later approved.<ref name="Hobby">{{cite web|url=http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/ssbb/6/0|title=Iwata Asks: Super Smash Bros.
