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.

== Trivia ==
* Some sound effects are slightly different than in the final version of ''Melee'', such as the sound of grabs and attacks landing.
* The song from this segment has been re-used in [[List_of_SSB4_Music_(Super_Smash_Bros._series)#How_to_Play|Smash 4]] and [[List_of_SSBU_Music_(Super_Smash_Bros._series)#How_to_Play_-_Super_Smash_Bros._Melee|Ultimate]].
*Masahiro Sakurai stated in a [[YouTube]] video that he wanted to include a more interactive tutorial into the game, but was unable to and had to settle for a non-interactive video.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Icl-jMlz1iY Teaching Players How to Play <nowiki>[Design Specifics]</nowiki>]</ref>
