The '''GameShark''' is a cheating device designed for the [[Nintendo 64]] console. GameShark is frequently used to hack ''[[Super Smash Bros | The '''GameShark''' is a cheating device designed for the [[Nintendo 64]] console; it was not released for later Nintendo systems. GameShark is frequently used to hack ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'', similar to how the [[Action Replay]] is used to hack into ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Apart from simply cheating at the game, it is useful for accessing content that is not normally available. Common examples include fighting in [[stages]] (such as {{SSB|Final Destination}}, the "demo" stage, or even beta versions of Kirby's level) and playing as a normally unplayable [[character]], such as [[Metal Mario]], {{SSB|Master Hand}}, [[Giant Donkey Kong]], or a member of the [[Fighting Polygon]]s. | ||
It was orignally designed for the {{s|wikipedia|Playstation}} and the {{s|wikipedia|Sega Saturn}}, but has been created for many other consles. | |||
Unfortunately, the use of Gameshark with '' Smash Bros.'' can also trigger numerous glitches, the most common one by far is one that forces the player to play as [[Mario]] in single-player mode, even after the Gameshark has been removed. The only known way to undo these glitches is to erase the game data. | |||

Gameshark is used often in emulators to unlock characters and stages instantly, as it is usually difficult to save with emulators in online play. To solve this, the "unlock all characters" and "{{SSB|Mushroom Kingdom}}" (to unlock item switch) cheats are switched back off and on at the beginning of the match. Failure to do this usually causes a [[desynch]], as the first player is playing with a different set of codes than the second player and so on. | Gameshark is used often in emulators to unlock characters and stages instantly, as it is usually difficult to save with emulators in online play.
