It’s like a fighting game with characters and items from many great Nintendo games. I have listed all the characters in order of my favorite. The items and secrets are in no particular order though. Also if you have any questions e-mail me at goldb_man@yahoo.com. ******************************************************* Characters ******************************************************* **** Ness **** This little guy is from Earthbound. It’s an o.k. game. The odd thing is he uses all of Paula’s moves and not his own (Paula is the second character you get in Earthbound). The only move he uses on Smash Brothers that’s his on Earthbound is the flash that you see when he does a double jump or throws someone. Here are his moves. Up+B: This is PK Thunder. B: PK Fire Down+B: PSI Magnet. Restores HP when special move hits it Up+A: Around the world with a yo-yo. A: normal attack. Down+A: yo-yo sling Forward, A: built in Baseball Bat! A,A,A: Punch and kick Jump, Up+A: Headbutt in air Forward+A: Charge Tips: 1. After you use the PK Thunder you control where it should go. If you hit yourself it sends you flying in that direction with no damage. Good for getting back on the land. 2. PK Thunder is weak so don’t use it as a weapon be the weapon. Hit yourself with the thunder and go flying in the opponent for like double or triple damage. 3. The PK fire is an annoying weapon. Notice the little lightning thing right after you press B? It’s from Yoshi’s Island. 4. When fighting the Master hand use the magnet shield when he shoots the missiles. Your percent goes down by 30 for each missile! ********** Jigglypuff ********** Many people HATE Jigglypuff because all he really does is Sing. Well Jigglypuff has one of the strongest moves in the game, the sleep attack! It’s hard to do but if you’re right next to your opponent they’ll go flying off far off the edge. Up+B: Sing people to sleep. B: HELPFUL, but not very strong punch Down+B: Very powerful sleep attack. A,A: Double punch Forward, A: Sliding kick Up+A: Upward Headbutt Up,A: Little Flip Jump, Up+A: Jump and slap Jump, Down+A: Downward twirl kick Tips 1. You may want to sing your enemy to sleep before you do the sleep move. 2. The sleep attack is only an attack while Jigglypuff flashes white. The rest is nothing until you get up. 3. Pressing B in midair sends Jigglypuff an inch forward without puffing him up. This is really helpful when getting him back to the side. 4. Don’t use Jigglypuff unless you have a lot of experience at the game. ***** Yoshi ***** Yoshi is a pretty good character. All his moves can be seen in at least one of Yoshi’s games. He is also the only character that doesn’t use a bubble as a shield. Up+B: The old egg toss. B: Eat the opponent and turn him into an egg. Down+B: Stomp Forward,A: Smashing Headbutt Forward+A: kick A,A: double kick Up+A: Weaker Headbutt Up,A: Another use of the head. Down+A: Tail Sweep Jump, Up+A: Tail Stab Jump, Down+A or R: Striking Kick Tips 1. Turn an opponent into an egg at the edge. Sometimes they go right off. 2. To lower the egg toss let go of up right after you use it. To make it go higher hold up as you throw the egg. 3. (Not for Yoshi) If you are in Yoshi’s egg press A and rotate the joystick to get out faster. 4. If you press Down+B on the ground you’ll go about a foot (in game length) whatever direction your facing. In the air you go straight down. 5. One fun trick to do with Yoshi is to eat them while your in mid-air. Most of the time opponents will fall helplessly down. ******* Pikachu ******* Pikachu is a great character for experts and beginners alike. He is easy to master unlike some of the other characters. That may be a reason why a lot of people use him when the first start playing this game. Pikachu also has some pretty good moves. Up+B: Some thing that teleports you up in the air. B: Thunder shock that moves on the ground. Down+B: A big lightning bolt strikes Pikachu and hurts and nearby opponents. Up+A: Backflip Down+A: Some spin kick Jump, Forward+A: Thunder punch, good combo Jump, Down+A: Downward Thunder punch Forward, A: A funny electric hookshot or something A,A: Double Kick Tips 1. The Thunder punch is good against the master hand. 2. You can double the teleport thing by changing the direction. If you master that you can easily get back if you’re knocked off the side. 3. Use the lightning bolt A LOT because its really annoying for any people above you. ************** Captain Falcon ************** CF here is from F-Zero and F-Zero X. I’m quite sure that he is the fastest character in the game. He’s pretty strong, so you may want to try him out. Up+B: This move makes anyone explode that touches you. B: Falcon Punch Down+B: Falcon Kick. (This guy needs projectiles). A,A,A: Punch, Punch, Kick A rapidly: Lots of punches Forward+A: forward kick Forward, A: Thrust Kick Up+A: Spinning Uppercut Up,A: Overhead heal kick (or something) Down+A: Roundhouse kick Down,A: Dumb Kick Jump, Up+A: twirl kick in air Tips 1. Use Up+B to keep airborne people away from land. *********** Donkey Kong *********** Donkey Kong is the strongest character in the game. He can pick up crates and barrels and walk around. This gives him an advantage. Also DK can knock someone off the edge at a less percent than others can. Up+B: Helicopter punch B: Strong Punch Down+B: Ground Pound A,A: Double Punch Forward,A: Smash Slap Forward+A: Punch Up+A: Slap n’ Clap Up,A: Slaps all around Jump, Forward+A: 90 degree pound (in air) Tips 1. Use DK’s throw a lot because it is useful and very strong. 2. The ground pound is useful to get rid of annoying opponents. That is maybe one of his best moves. 3. If you want a really funny (and cheap) way to kill your human opponents, go up to someone and grab them and then tap the joystick toward the character. You will pick them up and be able to walk with them. Now go jump off the edge. ;) **** Link **** Link is a great character for intermediate people. He has one long-range move and built in bombs. His sword spin isn’t the best for getting back on the land but at least it’s powerful. Up+B: Sword spin B: Boomerang Down+B: Bombs!!! A,A,A,: Lots of sword stabs A (rapid): Link will swipe his sword around after the stabs Forward, A: Big sword slash Forward+A: Weaker swipe Up+A: Combo thing Up,A: Reverse Overhead Swipe Down+A: Double Stab Down,A: Lower Swipe Jump, Forward+A: Spinning thing Jump, Down+A: Downward Stab Tips 1. Use bonbs a lot. They are pretty powerful. (However they’re not as strong as bob-ombs). ***** Kirby ***** Kirby is a great character for beginners. Almost all his airborne attacks are combo attacks. He has a ground pound which makes it easier to get back on the ground if you play against high level computer characters who keep hitting you up in the air. Kirby can also mimic other character’s moves by sucking them in. Up+B: Holds a knife goes up and slams down and makes a little wave. B: Suck up the character and do something Down+B: Slams and turns into an orange block A,A: double punch again A (rapid) lots of punches. Forward,A: A Smashing Kick Forward +A: Flipping Kick Up,A: Overhead Kick Down+A: Spin Kick Jump, Forward+A: sideways spin kick Tips 1. In team battle or versus you can use an opponent you in and make a weapon out of him. Just press A and Kirby will spit the guy out. If it makes contact with someone, then they’ll take about thirty damage. 2. Kirby is invulnerable when he does a ground pound. 3. The best thing about Kirby is that he can suck in characters that have the hammer! Suck them in near an edge and spit them out off the side. Since the guy with the hammer can’t do a double jump, they fall off the edge giving you an easy kill. ***** Samus ***** Samus is an o.k. character but she is better for experts. She has many moves that require good aim and timing. Of course if you’re into combos here’s your character. Up+B: Jump up and do a big hit combo B: Charge up and make your beam strong, then shoot. Down+B: Samus’s famous bomb. A,A: Double hitter. Forward,A: Strike with the back of a gun! Forward+A: Roundhouse Kick Up, A: Use of flame-thrower. Up+A: Flame-thrower. Down+A: Low roundhouse kick Down,A: Fast low roundhouse kick Jump,Up+A: Upward spiral kick thing Jump, Forward+A: Cover attack with gun Tips 1. Use the Up+B move to annoy people and catch them off guard or use this to keep someone off the edge. 2. You can catch a foe with the blue grappling hook thing and then use the flame-thrower ***** Luigi ***** Luigi is a pretty good character. The only reason he is better than Mario is because he can jump higher. Luigi is a good character if you have trouble getting back to the land. Up+B: Punch and Jump B: Floating Fireball Down+B: Spinning Punch A,A,A: Punch, Punch, Kick Forward, A: Strong Punch Forward+A: Roundhouse kick Up+A: Head Butt Up,A: Uppercut Down+A: Sweep Down,A: Low Kick Jump, Up+A: Flip Kick Jump, Forward+A: Twirl Kick Tips 1. If you can’t decide on Mario or Luigi, pick Luigi. They’re basically the same but Luigi Jumps higher and Luigi’s fireballs aren’t affected by gravity. 2. Luigi’s Up+B move is a great move to keep others off the edge. ******** Star Fox ******** I don’t use Star Fox too much. He just doesn’t suit my style. He can be good, however, with a good deal of practice. Use him and see what you think. Up+B: A rocket attack (Fox is the rocket I guess). B: Laser Down+B: A weird shield that reflects energy attacks and some non-energy attacks such as the bumper. A,A: The double hit A (rapid): tons of kicks Forward, A: Smashing Twirl Kick Forward+A: Forward Kick Up+A: Flip and Kick Up,A: Another odd kick Jump, Forward+A: Twirl Kick Tips 1. You can use the Down+B shield to hit a bumper on the ground into opponents. Pretty funny. ***** Mario ***** Mario is basically the same as Luigi. So I’m not going into detail. Go look at the Luigi section. ******************************************************* Secrets ******************************************************* This section has things that aren’t really secrets. You’re supposed to get the other characters. Also you can easily run into the hidden menus. Although, I guess you’re getting more info here than from the guide book. Jigglypuff: All you have to do is beat the game on any difficulty and any number of lives and as many continues as you want. This is basically the first secret character anyone gets. The easiest way to beat him after he challenges you is just throw him off the end. He’s a very easy opponent. Luigi: All you have to do is beat bonus number one with all the original 8 characters. To beat Luigi just, keep beating on him. If you lose then beat the character’s bonus stage again for the character you to fight Luigi. Captain Falcon: Beat any mode under 20 minutes. This is easiest in Very Easy mode. You can tell if you get to face him if it says “Speed King” in red after you beat the Master Hand. Just keep throwing him in the lava and you should have him. Ness: This is the hardest character to get but he is worth it. Beat Normal mode with three lives without continuing. I recommend using DK because he is the strongest. Check the Ness guide section for the easiest ways to get Ness. Secret item menu: Here’s something fun to do. Play versus like 50-100 times and you should get it. Mushroom Kingdom: Beat Normal mode with the original 8 characters and only three lives. Then it will say you have it. *Note:* My friend said that he beat Very Easy with every character and didn’t get it, but when he played Training mode for a little bit it just appeared. Sound Test: Beat Bonus 1 and 2 with ALL the characters. ******************************************************* Items ******************************************************* This is a section of all the items, what game they are from (or at least in), and what they do. ********** Beam sword ********** From: Lots of Star Wars Games Purpose: This is a pretty good sword that’s an o.k. thing to have in battle. *********** Homerun bat *********** From: Earthbound Purpose: This is a baseball bat that is about as strong as the sword. However if you combine it with a SMASH hit then the character will “hit a home run” which basically nets you an instant kill. ****** Hammer ****** From: The original DK series Purpose: You pound left, right, left, right, etc. until you finally kill someone. It’s a very powerful weapon, and you’re pretty hard to hit! ****************** Motion Sensor Bomb ****************** From: Goldeneye 007 Purpose: This little bomb is pretty good. You can stick it to the ground or even the walls of something. It blends in well and explodes when someone steps on or near it. It’s great when put by the edge. ******* Bob-omb ******* From: Lots of Mario games Purpose: It’s the most powerful item in the game. In direct contact it will either kill or take about 40 damage from the opponent. ***** Shell ***** From: Lots of Mario games Purpose: Knocks opponents away. If red, it goes back and forth. If green, it goes straight. ****** Bumper ****** From: Super SMASH Brothers Purpose: You throw it on the ground and people who hit it get bounced away. This has the games symbol on it. *** Fan *** From: Super Mario RPG Purpose: It’s a weak old fan that I think is even weaker than regular attacks. Better to throw by pressing R. ********** Max Tomato ********** From: Kirby Games Purpose: Recovers 100% of your damage (That’s not all of it, just 100 points). ***** Heart ***** From: Zelda Games Purpose: Recovers ALL your damage **** Star **** From: Mario games Purpose: Makes you invincible for about 10 seconds. ******* Ray Gun ******* From: Earthbound, thanks to Jkinc6 for pointing it out. Purpose: Pick it up and then you can shoot people with lasers. Pretty annoying for the guy getting shot, unless he’s Ness... ******** Star Rod ******** From: Kirby Games Purpose: You can hit people with it and you can throw little stars by pressing Forward, A. *********** Fire flower *********** From: Mario Series Purpose: Blow on it and fire comes out. ******** Pokeball ******** From: Poke’mon. Purpose: A Pokemon comes out and attacks the enemy in some way. Here’s the list. Mew: Mew appears. Then he leaves. The only thing he does is give you 50,000 points if you happen to see him in normal game. Onix: Goes up in the sky and does his rock throw move. Snorlax: Flies up in the air damaging people and comes back down to do more damage. Koffing: Comes out and use his poison gas attack that does some damage. Meowth: Uses the payday move and gives you killer coins. Hitmonlee: Makes a weird noise, and does his low kick attack. Watch out it’s strong! Goldeen: Appears and does the worthless splash attack while saying Goldeen Goldeen, Goldeen Goldeen. Charizard: He uses the flame-thrower attack. Quite annoying for people getting hurt by it. Makes a good protector for his “master”. Blastoise: One of the best moves, which is Hydro pump. This uses lots of pressure that knocks Blastoise back. Beedrill: Flies away and gets a whole swarm of Beedrills. Chansey: Throws out Chansey eggs. Clefairy: This guy (or girl) uses Metronome attack. Clefairy uses one of the moves listed above. ******************************************************* Ness Guide ******************************************************* This section is made up of guides that very briefly describe easy ways to get Ness. So far there are only 2 characters, Pikachu and DK. Everyone wanted a guide on Pikachu, so I added him later on. I got Ness with DK so that’s why he’s there. E-mail me if you want a different character. The best way, when trying to get Ness is not die at all (if that’s possible, for you). However if you make it to the hand with at least one life to spare you should at least get to see Ness... *********** Donkey Kong *********** Link: Just keep throwing him off the left edge until he can’t make it back. Simple as that. Yoshi Team: All you have to do is the helicopter punch one each Yoshi and you’ve won. Fox: Use the ground pound to weaken him and then start throwing him off until he can’t make it back. Mario Bros: Go down to the bottom platform that goes in and out. Keep throwing them off the end. Eventually the platform will be to far back where they can’t make it to the side. Pika: He’ll probably kill himself but if not just beat him to death. Giant DK: This is the hardest guy on the way to the hand. If you’re lucky you will get good partners. Just wear him down until he falls off. Samus: This girl isn’t that easy either. Throw her in the lava and keep her there with the helicopter punch. Kirby Team: This is so easy with DK. Just helicopter punch until all 8 are gone. They all die within one hit! Metal Mario: All you do here is ground pound. Do that until he’s around 250% which takes about 4 hits. Then throw him off! Dummy Team: So they’re the polygon team who cares. This is what they call them in Japan, except it’s in Japanese. Just do the same as you did with the Yoshis. There should also be a tomato or heart half way through. The Hand: The hand is pretty hard. You will most likely die once so be prepared. Us DK’s Jump, Forward+B move. Don’t use any B moves. They’re to slow. Ness: Well you made it, or not! This guy is though. Use the helicopter punch and ground pound a lot. Around 60 or 70% you can throw him off. Good Luck. ******* Pikachu ******* Link: This is easy. Keep throwing him. Yoshi team: Use the Thunder Punch and keep hitting all the guys. Fox: Keep throwing him off the left edge. When Fox flashes, getting ready to do the rocket thing, shock him by Down+B. It might lead to his demise. Mario Bros: Go to the bottom left area (with the moving platform) and start throwing one of them. When the other jumps to get you try to hit one into the other (in mid air). Pikachu: Just weaken him and knock him off. Giant DK: First off, when DK is on the platform use the lightning bolt and shock him. Next start throwing every item you can at him especially crates. Then get a strong item and hit him off. Samus: This is probably the hardest fight to keep a life on. Try to knock Samus in the lava at the beginning when it’s low. That will deal a lot of damage. Then try to weaken her with all you have, but try not to get to close to her, or above her. Kirby Team: Your best attack here is the lightning bolt. Sometimes it will kill them at once. After two hits with it they are usually always dead. Metal Mario: All you have to do is weaken this guy with the lightning bolt. Then throw him off the edge. Dummy Team: These guys are a bit harder than the Yoshis because there are more of them and they are faster. You’ll just have to use your best attack in any situation because just using lightning bolts won’t work. Master Hand: The Hand is pretty easy with Pikachu. Just use the thunder punch and you may have an easy victory. Ness: This will be hard. You fight at the Kirby stage. The best way to do this is get Ness in the air. When he is about to use his PK Thunder, jump on the highest platform. Then jump in the air and press B. Now hope that little electric ball hits him. If it does Ness is practically dead. If he still survives then remember, he’s lightweight. You can throw him pretty far. Also, try to get away from most of his attacks. ******************************************************* Legal Stuff ******************************************************* This FAQ is a copyright of BWord (Goldbman).
