In terms of the ''{{b| Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, this results in low-budget games that imitate the gameplay of the series, while simultaneously allowing fans to create and use characters and stages without having to [[hack]] an existing game. Fan games tend to be created in environments such as Flash and as a result, are almost exclusively sprite-based. Although the games often feature trademarked characters, settings, music, and other such aspects, their lower production values and presentation causes fan games to be considered legal under parody or fair use laws. | ||
Projects that involve [[Gameplay modification|modification of the actual games in the series]] can be considered a type of fan game. Such projects, however, are often considered separate from typical fan games, due to their differing development; fan games are generally created from scratch, whereas mods involve modifying an existing game. | Projects that involve [[Gameplay modification|modification of the actual games in the series]] can be considered a type of fan game.
