GET READY FOR THE FIGHT OF THE CENTURY!
Mario, Link, Pikachu, and a host of all-star Nintendo characters are on the scene and ready for the fight of your lives! But Super Smash Bros. is anything but a typical fighting game. Each character uses his signature moves to build up his opponent's Damage Meter, then delivers the finishing blow to send him flying off the stage. The higher the reading on the Damage Meter, the easier it is to knock your opponent off. But don't forget to defend against his attacks, or you may get knocked off yourself!
Mode Select Screen

Press START on the Title screen to reach the Mode Select screen and the
following four options:

1P MODE
Featuring four single-player modes. See page 7 for details.

VS MODE
Featuring Free-for-All and Team Battle modes of play. For more info, see page
11.

OPTIONS
See page 13 for details on setting the game options.

1P MODE
The 1P Mode offers four different options for single players: 1P Game, Training
Mode, Bonus 1 Practice, and Bonus 2 Practice.

-1P Game-
Battle your way past various enemies and through bonus stages to reach the final
boss. Choose your character on the Character Select screen by moving the cursor
and chip to the character of your choice, then pressing the A Button. To change
characters press the B Button, then drop the chip on another character by
pressing the A Button again. Change your character's appearance with the C
Button[s]. High scores for the game and for each character are shown in the
bottom-right corner of the screen.

Stock Life and Difficulty Level
Move the cursor to the yellow arrows in the Options section, and press the A
Button to scroll through the choices. Choose to fight with up to five lives, and
set the difficulty level to any setting between Very Easy and Very Hard.

Time Limit
Change the time limit for each level to either five minutes or no limit by
moving the cursor to the arrows in the Time section and pressing the A Button.

The battle begins when you press START!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Battle Screen
In the 1-Player game you must knock your enemy off the stage to clear each
level. In some levels you fight more than one enemy, while in others one or more
characters one or more characters will fight on your side. Attack your enemy to
build up his Damage Meter, then deliver the finishing blow! If your own Damage
Meter reaches 100%, your enemy may be able to knock you off. Also, it is very
easy to fall from some stages, so take care not to do yourself in! Fight your
way through the levels to face the final boss!

Challenge Match!
If you've met certain conditions in defeating the boss in the 1-Player game, you
will enter a Challenge Match with a mystery opponent. If you defeat that
opponent, you can use that character the next time you play!

Scoring
High scores are kept for both the game and for each character. Receive points
for clearing each board, for each second remaining on the timer, and for damage
done to enemies. There are also special bonuses for clearing the level quickly,
not using items, and clearing the level without taking any damage. With more
than twenty special bonuses, there are plenty of ways to rack up points!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 9

Continuing
If you lose your last stock life before defeating the boss, you have the option
to continue. If you choose YES, your point total is cut in half, and you start
from the beginning of the level you were defeated on. If you choose NO, your
game ends. If you don't choose, time will run out, and the game will end.

-Training Mode-
The Training Mode is the best way to learn each character's moves. Choose your
character, your opponent, and the battle stage, then begin your training
session!

The Training Mode Screen
Like the 1-Player battle screen, the Training Mode screen also has Damage Meters
for the two contestants, but it has a lot more information than that!

* Attack Damage Meter
This displays the total damage for the last attack combo.

* Combo Meter
This displays the number of attacks in the last combo.

* Opponent Setting
This displays your opponent's current setting.

* Speed

Training Mode options:
* CP - Set the Computer Player's action to Stand, Walk, Evade, Jump, or Attack.
* Item - Scroll between items with the Control Stick. The selected item appears
when the A Button is pressed.
* Speed - Set the speed to 1/1 (regular speed), or 2/3, 1/2, or 1/4 speed for
slow-motion battle.

attacks in team battles.

line shows the number of times they were knocked off, and the third line shows
the difference between the two. In timed battles, the player or team with the
highest net Knock-offs (KOs minus TKO) wins.

For stock matches, only the number of Knock-offs is shown. The last player
standing is declared the winner.

Sudden Death!
When a VS Mode battle ends in a tie, the winner is decided by a Sudden Death
match! Each player has only one life, and his Damage Meter is set to 300%. The
last player standing winds the match.

around.

Barrel
Attack it or pick it up and throw it to break it open and release its contents.

Chansey Egg
Break the egg open to get to the item inside. Look for it when the Pokemon
Chansey appears.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 16

-Throwing Items-
Once grabbed, these items are activated by throwing them.

Motion Sensor Bomb

because the bumper just might bump you!

Bob-omb
When grabbed and thrown at an enemy, this item explodes, but if left alone, it
will start walking around until its timer reaches zero...

Grab these items and use them to smash your opponent silly!

Beam Sword
This is an item of great power. It also has the longest range of all Clobbering
Items when thrown.

Hammer
A favourite of Mario's in his younger days, the Hammer enraptures any character
that grabs it and sends them into a clobbering frenzy!

Fan
Since it's light, it's good for quick attacks. However, it doesn't do much
damage and can't be thrown very far.

Home Run Bat
You can't throw it very far, but if you combine it with a Smash Attack you just
might hit a home run!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 17

-Special Items-
Use these items to attack from a distance.

Fire Flower
Use the Fire Flower to blast your opponents with fiery breath. Be sure to get in
close because even breath this bad can't reach too far!

Unfortunately, it's only a 16-shooter.

Star Rod
With the A Button and the Control Stick, you can shoot 20 stars at your
opponents. This can also be used as a Clobbering Item.

-Recovery Items-
Get your battle strength back by grabbing these items.

Maxim Tomato
This tasty veggie recovers up to 100% on your Damage Meter.

Heart Container
The Heart Container recovers all your strength, returning your Damage Meter to
0%.

-Special Items-
Depending on how these items are used, you may end up hurting yourself.

Star
The character that grabs the Star becomes INVINCIBLE! ...but only for a short
while.

Green Shell
When attacked or thrown, this shell slides around the battle stage, damaging
whomever it hits.

Red Shell
Basically the same as the Green Shell, this shell bounces back and fourth in the
same area of the stage.
