Notices
The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

'''DEVELOP mode''' is a debug mode found in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' accessed through its {{SSBM|debug menu}}. The mode is activated by changing the '''DBLEVEL''' setting to ''DEVELOP''. This will give the player extra control over matches, including free camera, visual hitbox, and frame advance.  
'''DEVELOP mode''' is a debug mode found in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' accessed through its {{SSBM|debug menu}}. The mode is activated by changing the '''DBLEVEL''' setting to ''DEVELOP''. This will give the player extra control over matches, including free camera, visual hitbox, and frame advance.  


Below is a table detailing the controls for the DEVELOP mode extra controls. Through these controls, one can obtain free control over the camera, see character and stage hitboxes, frame advance the match, see the parts of the stage, and drop items (similar to Training Mode). Using the "reset" button combination in {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}, {{SSBM|Adventure Mode}}, or [[All-Star Mode]] results in a "stage clear".
