Editing How to Play (SSBM)

{{ArticleIcons|ssbm=y}}
The '''How to Play''' video is a tutorial in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that plays if the player waits at the title screen for long enough, though it can also be accessed manually in the [[Data]] menu of the [[main menu]] in the PAL version, and the [[Archives]] sub-menu in the NTSC version. It depicts {{SSBM|Mario}} battling {{SSBM|Bowser}} on [[Pokémon Stadium]]. The video explains the basic mechanics of ''Melee'' and is meant to teach a beginner how to play.

==Basic techniques taught in the video==
*[[Walk]]ing and [[running]]
*[[Jumping]] and [[double jump]]ing
*[[Neutral attack]]s
*Strong attacks (also known as "[[Tilt attack]]s")
*[[Smash attack]]s
*[[Special move]]s
*[[Shield]]ing and [[dodging]]
*[[Grab]]s and [[throw]]s
*[[Meteor smash]]es (not mentioned by name, but Mario is shown making a meteor smash, with subtitles saying "Spot an enemy in the air and...intercept!")
*[[Recovery]] and [[Edgeguarding]] (neither mentioned by name)

==Trivia==
*Some sound effects are slightly different than in the final version of ''Melee'', such as the sound of grabs and attacks landing.
