Editing Special Movie

The '''Special Movie''' is a nearly-fifteen minute long bonus video included in the [[NTSC]] versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', found in the [[Archives]] sub-menu of the [[Data]] menu. The clip itself features the [[starter character]]s and their abilities, as well as various single-player modes (both [[Classic Mode]] and [[Adventure Mode]]), [[item]]s, [[stage]]s, and [[trophies]].

 

[[Unused content (SSBM)|Various elements different from the final game]] can be seen in this clip, such as {{SSBM|Peach}} having different voice clips, and [[Temple]] having unused platforms.

The movie is not available in the [[PAL]] versions of ''Melee'', speculated to be due to the inability to fit all translated languages of the movie onto the disc.{{clr}}

| — || Introduction || 0:00 - 0:20 || The Special Movie opens up by fading into several different matches. Several different sound effects play during this sequence, but they do not line up with the matches being displayed. The screen then cuts to the [[title screen]]. This section does not have background music. || —

| [[File:SpecialMovieMarioSSBM.jpg|150px]] || {{SSBM|Mario}} || 0:21 - 1:06 || The movie first opens up with Mario, detailing his [[taunt]], [[special move]]s, [[ground attack]]s, and more. Mario notably demonstrates his [[Super Jump Punch]] in a fashion similar to a [[Luigi Ladder]]. Mario also throws a [[Green Shell]] into a bunch of [[Goomba]]s and knocking off Bowser at the end. This is a reference to the Mario series, as Koopa shells are frequently used as weapons for Mario. Also in reference to the Mario series, Mario is seen jumping and breaking a [[? Block]] to release a [[Super Mushroom]] a la ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' || rowspan=2|{{SSBMMusicLink|Princess Peach's Castle}}

| [[File:SpecialMoviePeachSSBM.jpg|150px]] || {{SSBM|Peach}} || 1:06 - 1:41 || Peach's section opens by detailing her [[idle pose]]s. The movie then goes over her special and ground attacks, notably being used mostly on Mario. There's a scene where Mario interrupts Bowser's grab on Peach, in reference to Mario's duty to save the princess in the Mario series. Peach is also seen using her [[float]] ability at several points of the section.

| [[File:SpecialMovieDonkeyKongSSBM.jpg|150px]] || {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} || 1:42 - 2:23 || DK's section begins by showcasing some of his special moves, as well as some of his [[smash attack]]s and more comical animations. It then details more of his moves, primarily his unique forward throw. DK's use of a Barrel and Sheik's use of a banana on the end of her [[Chain]] as bait for (presumably) attacking him are references to many ''Donkey Kong'' games, particularly ''Donkey Kong Country''. || {{SSBMMusicLink|Kongo Jungle}}

| [[File:SpecialMovieYoshiSSBM.jpg|150px]] || {{SSBM|Yoshi}} || 2:23 - 3:03 || Yoshi's segment opens with Yoshi hopping out of his [[shield#Yoshi's shield|egg]], then begins to show his [[Egg Roll]] move before showcasing some of his other moves, including his [[Yoshi Bomb]] and [[Egg Lay]]. It also shows his [[Alternate costume (SSBM)#Yoshi|alternate colors]], possibly referencing the multitude of differently-colored Yoshis seen within ''Yoshi'' series. || {{SSBMMusicLink|Yoshi's Island}}

| [[File:SpecialMovieLinkSSBM.jpg|150px]] || {{SSBM|Link}} || 4:24 - 5:03 || Link's section opens with Link running on [[Temple]] before performing his signature [[Spin Attack]].

| [[File:SpecialMovieCaptainFalconSSBM.jpg|150px]] || {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} || 5:38 - 6:23 || Captain Falcon's segment begins by showing off his impressive running speed.

Falcon also demonstrates his ability to use multiple shots of the [[Star Rod]] with one smash attack.  || rowspan=2|{{SSBMMusicLink|Mute City}}

| — || Single-Player Modes || 7:16 - 8:08 || The scene begins with a warning icon flashing on the screen, with Mario in his blue outfit standing on [[Brinstar]]. It then shows the first stage of [[Adventure mode]], [[Mushroom Kingdom (Adventure Mode)|Mushroom Kingdom]]. The movie then shows clips of various characters, including Ness breaking targets in [[Target Test]], Fox and Bowser running through Mushroom Kingdom, Samus fighting two [[Redead]] in the [[Underground Maze]], and Sheik climbing the [[Brinstar Escape Shaft]]. The movie then displays various matchups in {{SSBM|Classic Mode}}. These matchups are Fox against Captain Falcon, Bowser versus Pikachu, and Peach against Yoshi. The movie then shows various other clips of adventure mode and Target Smash, along with glance overs of [[Green Greens]] and [[Big Blue]]. || {{SSBMMusicLink|Menu}}

| [[File:SpecialMovieFoxSSBM.jpg|150px]] || {{SSBM|Fox}} || 8:09 - 8:50 || Fox's segment includes all of his specials, especially [[Blaster]] and the throws that incorporate it. Fox is also seen wielding both the [[Super Scope]] and [[Ray Gun]] in coordination with his Blaster.

Fox exits the scene via [[Fire Fox]]. || rowspan=2|{{SSBMMusicLink|Corneria}}

| [[File:SpecialMoviePikachuSSBM.jpg|150px]] || {{SSBM|Pikachu}} || 9:27 - 10:09 || The Special Movie starts Pikachu's section off by showing its [[Thunder Jolt]]. It then proceeds to show off its various attacks, such as its pummel, forward and down smash, forward aerial, forward throw, jab, and its other 3 specials. Pikachu's running speed is shown on the Adventure Mode stage "[[F-Zero Grand Prix]]" as well as in a few other scenes. There is a scene where Pikachu is caught in [[Weezing]]'s Smokescreen, which is possibly a reference to the first episode of the Pokémon anime. Pikachu is also seen posing next to a dormant [[Wobbuffet]], which could be a reference to Jessie's Wobbuffet from the second season of the anime. || rowspan=3|{{SSBMMusicLink|Poké Floats}}

| [[File:SpecialMovieNessSSBM.jpg|150px]] || {{SSBM|Ness}} || 12:57 - 13:31 || Ness's segment starts off with him using [[PSI Magnet]] to [[absorb]] a variety of attacks: Bowser's [[Fire Breath]], Fox's [[Blaster]] [[Charizard]]'s [[Flamethrower]], and (albeit off-screen) Mario's [[Fireball]]. Ness's other specials are shown, as well as his Yo-yo, including a zoomed in shot of it. There is a scene where Ness air dodges a car (a taxi) in [[Onett]], and the camera rotates to show his near-miss. Finally, Ness ends his segment by leading away a group of [[Mr. Saturn]]s.

| — || Ending || 13:32 - 13:58 || The Special Movie closes by showing moves from all 14 of the [[starter character]]s. These moves, notably, are all special or smash attacks, except for Sheik's and Peach's taunts, Kirby's jab, and Yoshi's grab. Zelda also does not appear in this section, being replaced with Sheik instead. The Special Movie then closes with the Melee character cast artwork for the starters.

*Bowser, Samus, Ice Climbers, and Ness are the only characters whose sections in the Special Movie do not play songs from their respective universes, instead continuing playing the songs from the previously shown section.

**Additionally, Mario and Peach are the only characters whose sections do not use one of their credits themes (asides the above mentioned characters).

**Pikachu is the only character whose section plays an unlockable song from an unlockable stage (Poké Floats). However, this song is also one of its credits themes.  

*[[Fourside]], [[Poké Floats]], and [[Battlefield]] are the only unlockable stages shown or referenced in the Special Movie.  

*The Majora's Mask trophy's movement in the Trophy Display section is a reference to the intro in [[ZeldaWiki:Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]].
