Movies, referred to as Archives in Melee, is a category within the main menu of Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

In Melee

The Archives menu found in Data in Melee

The Archives, found in the Data submenu, allows players to view two videos:

• How to Play: A small instructional video that is to teach players how to play Melee.
• Special Movie: An almost-fifteen minute long video, showing off much of the gameplay in Melee; it features a role-call of the starting fifteen characters, and it also shows multiple aspects of the game, such as various items and trophies, and how the single-player mode works.

The Archives menu is only available in the NTSC versions of Melee. The PAL versions remove the menu, as well as the Special Movie; in the Data menu, its place is taken by a dedicated menu selection for the How to Play video.

In Brawl

This area, found in the Data sub-menu as well, allows a player to watch a video from the following options:

• Subspace Emissary: This option is a submenu containing all the unlocked cutscenes from The Subspace Emissary.
• How to Play: A short video on how to play Brawl.
• E3 2006: The trailer for Brawl shown at E3 2006.
• Game Intro: An overall intro to the game unveiled in October 2007.
• Snake Joins the Brawl: The trailer which revealed more information about Solid Snake's inclusion in Brawl.
• Sonic Joins the Brawl: The trailer which announced Sonic the Hedgehog's inclusion in Brawl.
