Melee: SD Remix is a gameplay hack of Super Smash Bros. Melee to make it more balanced. The mod adds various buffs to all except the top 6 characters in the tier list. The remaining characters were modified according to three principles: emphasize existing character strengths, increase mobility, and uphold a character's "style".

SD Remix's competitive recognition hasn't expanded too far, but it is the most popular mod of Melee at the moment to introduce changes to characters. Among the other popular mods of the series, notably Project M, it has the least tourneys of the whole.
