'''''Super Smash Bros.''''', known in Japan as '''''Nintendo All-Star! Dairantou Smash Brothers''''' ({{ja|ニンテンドウオールスター! 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ}}), often shortened to "'''''Smash 64'''''", "'''''SSB'''''" or "'''''SSB64'''''", is the first game of the [[Super Smash Bros. (universe)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. It is the only Super Smash Bros. game to be rated E; while the other two games are rated T, according to ESRB. As a relatively low-budget game with an unusual concept, there were not originally any plans to export the game outside Japan. Only the game's unexpected popularity led to its worldwide release.

The game was released in Japan on January 21, 1999, in North America on April 26, 1999, and in Europe on November 19, 1999. The game is playable on [[Nintendo 64]] and the [[Nintendo 64|iQue Player]] and is available on the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]]. The European Virtual Console version was released on June 12th 2009, and the American Virtual Console version was released on December 21, 2009.

==Opening movie==
Every time the [[opening movie]] plays, the two characters [[Master Hand]] picks who appear fighting on a mountain-top at the beginning of the movie varies. If certain secret characters have not been unlocked yet, they appear as silhouettes.

==[[Tournament]] play==
{{main|Tournament legal (SSB)}}
Unlike ''Melee'', ''Super Smash Bros.'' never enjoyed a large professional competitive scene, but interest in ''Super Smash Bros.'' has been renewed in recent years with the popularity of ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''. Players can play ''Super Smash Bros.'' online through [[wikipedia:Kaillera|Kaillera]] using the [[Project64k]] emulator. However, there have been more and more tournaments of ''Super Smash Bros.'' recently due to an influx of new players. Most ''Super Smash Bros.'' tournaments are paired up with ''Melee'' or long events and most (offline) ''SSB'' tournaments are located in California, Central Canada, or New Jersey.

The standard tournament rules differ little from that of ''Melee''. The most common standard tournament rules are as follows:
*Generally best 2 out of 3 (using 3 out of 5 or sometimes 4 out of 7 for finals)
*Double Elimination
*5 [[stock]]
*10 minute time limit, if it is possible, most emulators don't have time limit
*[[Items]] are turned off
*[[Handicap]]s are off
*The first match is selected randomly excluding [[Yoshi's Island N64|Yoshi's Island]], [[Sector Z]], [[Planet Zebes]], and [[Mushroom Kingdom 64|Mushroom Kingdom]].
*Mushroom Kingdom, Sector Z, and Yoshi's Island are usually banned: Mushroom Kingdom for pipe spamming/edge camping, Yoshi's Island for cloud camping and projectile camping, and Sector Z for the size and the [[Arwing]] lasers. Planet Zebes is sometimes banned as well, for the acid.
:*The loser of each match picks the stage for the next match excluding the illegal stages listed above. 
:*If [[Saffron City]] is selected on the first round and one of the players is using [[Ness]], he or she may request a re-pick. 
::*However, if the [[Ness]] player wins the match, his/her opponent may counterpick [[Saffron City]].
:*The loser cannot choose a stage on which a previous match was played (known as "Dave's stupid rule"). Due to the low number of allowed stages in this game, this is often weakened to the loser cannot choose the stage on which ''the last'' match was played.
*For the first match, characters are chosen double-blind - at the same time, so that neither player knows their opponent's character beforehand.
*Players may re-pick [[character]]s after each match. However, the loser of each match gets to pick last (known as slob picks).

==Online play==
Although ''Super Smash Bros.'' does not feature online play, emulators have the ability to do so. [[Project64k]] and Mupen64k are the most used emulators of playing online.

==Trivia==
[[File:SSBCarBoxed.jpg|thumb|140px|Team Lightning ''Super Smash Bros.'' diecast car, boxed.]]
[[File:SSBCarUnboxed.jpg|thumb|140px|The above diecast car, unboxed.]]
*Early in development, Super Smash Bros. was called ''[[Dragon King: The Fighting Game]]'', and didn't have any Nintendo characters at all.[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/ssbb/6/0]
*The starting eight characters are placed in the order of when they first appeared in their respective titles on the character selection screen, starting with the oldest, [[Mario]] and [[Donkey Kong]], and leading to the most recent, [[Pikachu]].
**However, because of the placing of the unlockable characters on the sides of the character selection screen, Luigi gets listed first before Mario and Donkey Kong, despite the fact he debuted 2 years after Mario and Donkey Kong's debuts. The same is true for Ness next to Yoshi, only it's a four-year difference.
*This is the only time [[Samus]] and [[Ness]] appeared on the Nintendo 64.
*When a character is chosen, they perform a brief animation in their player's display box below the character-select array. This is the only game in the series to have this feature.
*This is the only game to feature playable protagonists only. However, two characters had previously appeared as antagonists -- [[Donkey Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' and ''Donkey Kong 3'' and [[Mario]] in ''Donkey Kong Jr.''
*One piece of ''Super Smash Bros.''-themed merchandise was a model car. This car was released by diecast toy car company Team Lightning, and was given the full name of ''Tom Daniel's "Trouble Maker" - Super Smash Bros. (1971 Chevrolet El Camino)''. These cars can still be purchased to this day via online stores such as eBay.
*In Japan, the game's Virtual Console release was one day before the series' tenth anniversary.
*''Super Smash Bros.'' is the only game to use the phrases "Game Set" and "Time Up" in matches in both English and Japanese versions. Melee and Brawl uses the phrases "Game!" and "Time!" in the English version, both still use "Game Set" and "Time Up" in the Japanese version.
**This is because ''Super Smash Bros.'' (as well the rest of the series) was originally planned to be Japan-only.
*This is the only game not to have the smash symbol in the logo for the "O" in the non-Japanese release.
