Super Smash Bros. (series): Difference between revisions

''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' features twenty-six playable characters; of which 15 are available initially (more than doubling the number of characters in its predecessor). <!--Yes. There are twenty six playable characters. Sheik separate from Zelda, she is a full character according to the official site http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/0222/character.html. In fact, she is a full character in all games even in Melee and Brawl; despite being a transformation of Zelda in both Melee and Brawl.--> Altogether, 15 characters are [[starter character]]s and 11 are [[unlockable character]]s). There are also twenty-nine playable stages (however, 18 stages are [[starter stage]]s and 11 are [[unlockable stage]]s). It introduced two new single-player modes alongside the {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}; [[Adventure]] (which is an enhanced reissue of [[1P Game]] which didn't return proper in ''Melee'') and [[All Star]]. ''Adventure'' has platforming segments similar to the original's "Race to the Finish" minigame, and ''All-Star'' is a fight against every playable character in the game, allows the player only one life in which damage is accumulated over each battle, and the character is allowed to use only three recovery items which heal all taken damage in between battles. There are also significantly more multiplayer modes and a tournament mode allowing for 64 different competitors whom can all be controlled by a human player, although only up to four players can participate at the same time. Additionally, the game featured alternative battle modes, called "Special Melee," which involve some sort of alteration to the battle (ex: all characters are giant by default, players may only use their jump and standard attack buttons, etc.), along with alternative ways to judge a victory, such as through collecting coins throughout the match.
