It is the universe of the ''Smash Bros.'' series in-and-of itself. The easily recognizable [[Super Smash Bros. logo]] represents both the series and universe. | |||

During 1998, {{uv|Kirby}} series creator [[Masahiro Sakurai]], working at [[Nintendo]] second-party developer [[HAL Laboratory]], pursued interest in making a fighting game for four players. From the outset, he did not have any ideas and used exceedingly basic character designs. When he presented the concept | During 1998, {{uv|Kirby}} series creator [[Masahiro Sakurai]], working at [[Nintendo]] second-party developer [[HAL Laboratory]], pursued an incidental interest in making a fighting game for four players. From the outset, he did not have any ideas and used exceedingly basic character designs. When he presented the concept to his superior, [[Satoru Iwata]] - then the president of HAL Laboratory - Iwata helped Sakurai find ways to make the game original since many fighting games did not sell well, and Sakurai's first idea was to insert a wide variety of popular characters from different Nintendo franchises and have them fight in a crossover. Sakurai knew he would not receive permission to do this by asking, and therefore secretly created a prototype of the [[Nintendo 64]] fighter in advance and only informed his superiors of it after carefully balancing his first four character inclusions: [[Mario]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Samus Aran]], and [[Fox McCloud]]. Fortunately, the idea was later approved, and Sakurai developed the game, ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', as a low-budget crossover fighter that was intended to be released exclusively in Japan. The finished product's nearly-unique spin on free-roaming, multi-directional fighting on two-dimensional platform-filled planes is said to have been inspired by an obscure 1994 arcade fighting game by [[Namco]] titled ''The Outfoxies''. | ||
''Super Smash Bros.'' was released in Japan on January 21, 1999, and despite little promotion, the game was a surprise and breakout hit, ultimately selling nearly 2 million copies domestically and selling nearly 3 million copies in the United States after the logical decision was made to localize the game for international release. The game received mostly positive reviews and was praised both for being the most original fighting game on the market and for its simple-to-learn, accessible, and responsive multiplayer, with the primary focus of criticism being its lack of single-player content. It can easily be guessed that the game owed much of its popularity and success to its mix of fan-favorite aesthetics, characters, and music, with the most notable franchise represented being {{uv|Pokémon}}, which had recently reached the height of its initial explosion of worldwide popularity. | |||
Following the success of ''Super Smash Bros.'', Sakurai became the head of production for a sequel that was intended as a borderline launch title for the next Nintendo system, the [[GameCube]]. The game was in intensive development for 13 months and was considered by Sakurai to be the biggest project he had ever led up to that point, and Sakurai described his lifestyle during this period as "destructive", with no holidays and short weekends. Unlike the first game, which was an experimental venture, Sakurai felt great pressure to deliver a quality sequel that would undoubtedly be regarded as the system's undisputed killer app. Another priority for the development was that the game would exhibit an enormous graphical advancement beyond the Nintendo 64, and to this end, the game's opening FMV was developed by HAL in conjunction with three separate graphic houses in Tokyo. The game was released shortly after the GameCube's launch in both Japan and the United States near the end of 2001 as ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and received critical acclaim as both a strong fundamental improvement and a massive expansion of content over its predecessor. The game became the best-selling GameCube game, with more than seven million copies sold worldwide. By this point, the series' relevance as a potent advertisement vehicle for all of Nintendo's IPs represented within it, past and present, was apparent; the representation of [[Marth (SSBM)|two]] [[Roy (SSBM)|characters]] from the then-Japan-exclusive {{uv|Fire Emblem}} series, who were nearly cut out from international versions of ''Melee'', prompted Nintendo's future decision to release almost all subsequent installments of the series worldwide. | |||
''Super Smash Bros. | During what became a seven-year hiatus for the ''Smash Bros.'' series, Sakurai left HAL Laboratory in 2003 to start his own company, [[Sora Ltd.]], so that he could create games separately from the sequel-heavy schedules of HAL. Meanwhile, Satoru Iwata succeeded Hiroshi Yamauchi as Nintendo's fourth president in 2002. At a pre-E3 2005 press conference, Iwata announced that the next installment of ''Super Smash Bros.'' was soon to be in development for its next console and would be a launch title that utilized the console's Wi-Fi based online capabilities. The announcement came as a surprise to Sakurai because he was not informed of Nintendo's intent to release another ''Smash Bros.'' game, and was only asked after the conference by Iwata to again serve as director; Sakurai agreed, and development of the third game began in October 2005. What followed was a development project handled by roughly 100 individuals working full time. The game was officially showcased at the E3 2006 conference as ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', but its actual release dates, set for early 2008, were well over a year after the [[Wii]] console's launch. Prior to release, among the most noteworthy and publicized inclusions in the game were a vastly redesigned {{SSBB|Pit}}, representing a revival of the long-dormant [[Kid Icarus (universe)|''Kid Icarus'' series]], and the first-ever inclusions of third-party characters in the series: {{SSBB|Snake}} from {{uv|Metal Gear}}, which rumor claims series director [[Hideo Kojima]] had asked to be included in ''Melee'', and {{SSBB|Sonic}} from [[Sonic (universe)|his respective series]], satisfying a long-awaited crossover with historical rival mascot {{SSBB|Mario}}. ''Brawl'' had also encouraged an enormous amount of pre-release hype and speculation by regularly posting blog updates fivedays a week, detailing new features, characters, and other elements of the game on the official website, the "{{SSBB|Smash Bros. DOJO!!}}", for over eight months straight. | ||
''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' was critically and commercially successful upon release, garnering praise for its new focus on improved single-player content, an expanded and more varied cast, and one of the largest video game soundtracks in history, and became the fastest-selling game in Nintendo of America's history and a seller of over 10 million units total. However, the game also drew reviewer criticism for long loading times and a laggy online experience. Multiplayer aspects were controversial among the established player-base (such as the [[competitive]] circles of which had long been accustomed to the gameplay styles of ''Melee'') for a comparatively slower pace and scale of gravity, the removal of some advanced movement and attack mechanics, and a much heavier slant towards defensive gameplay. Most universally disliked was the game's inclusion of [[tripping]], a non-negotiable element of randomized chance that could easily dictate the outcome of a competitive match in a manner that rewarded luck over skill. In an interview two-and-a-half years after the release of ''Brawl'', Sakurai revealed that he himself retrospectively considered ''Melee'' to be "the sharpest game in the series." | |||
Immediately after Sakurai employed his redesign of the ''Kid Icarus'' series' aesthetic in the [[3DS]] title ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', released in March 2012, he announced the beginning of development of the fourth installment in the ''Smash Bros.'' series, which would be a joint venture between Sora and [[Namco Bandai Games]] and would be co-directed with Yoshito Higuchi, who had previously directed and produced several games in Namco's ''Tales'' series. The first showcase of the project took place at the Nintendo Direct presentation preceding E3 2013, where it was shown that the series would, for the first time, develop and release a pair of titles simultaneously for separate platforms: ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. Prior to the showcase, Sakurai indicated that the games would receive a different development approach for measuring competitive character balance, and after the showcase, Sakurai confirmed the removal of randomized tripping while [[dashing]]. | |||
Soon after the release of the [[Nintendo Switch]] console, Sakurai started work on the next game in the series. His goal was to "make the impossible possible," by including all characters from the past games. When he announced his intentions to the boardroom of directors, the room fell silent. In March of 2018, a teaser trailer was released in the middle of a Nintendo Direct presentation, featuring the male and female [[Inkling|Inklings]]. The game was formally announced as ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' during E3 of the same year, showcasing all the previous fighters and the "Everyone Is Here" tagline, and revealing that Namco Bandai would again be the co-developer. The game was shown to have an increased focus on competitive play, while keeping it accessible for newcomers as well. During a Smash Direct showcase in October, Sakurai announced that [[trophies]] were quite tricky to program, and so they were being removed in favor of [[Spirits]], equippable items that augmented fighters, similar to [[stickers]] and [[equipment]] in the previous games. Spirits were also confirmed to be replacing Event matches, by augmenting opponents in ways similar to the depicted character, and the focus of the returning [[Adventure Mode: World of Light|adventure mode.]] ''Ultimate'' ended up becoming one of the best-selling games in the series, becoming the fastest selling Nintendo game. | |||
The ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is a large departure from the traditional fighting game formula | The ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is a large departure from the traditional fighting game formula, where two characters trade and block each other's blows until one's health meter is reduced to zero; knock-outs in these games are strictly achieved by sending opponents hurtling away far enough off the stage with powerful attacks that they cannot avoid coming into contact with [[blast line|one of the four "out of bounds" screen borders]] surrounding the stage. Instead of a life bar that decreases, each character has a [[percent]]age-based [[damage]] meter that raises each time they are hit by an attack, which translates into all subsequent attacks incurred by that character [[knockback|sending them away]] farther than before. Every character is designed and intended to feel and play uniquely from the rest in terms of the different moves and movements they are capable of, among many other things about them, and when a character is sent flying away from the stage horizontally, they have the opportunity to [[recovery|return to the stage]] without falling off into the abyss below the stage with both a mid-air double jump and a [[Up special move|special move that constitutes a third jump]]. Many options are available to diversify casual play, such as [[items]] that may be picked up and used, [[stage|selectable stages]] that may feature their own dynamic hazards in their designs and layouts, and a large variety of different modes and settings for customizing matches. | ||
Many players and groups in the competitive playerbase and community for the series choose to play each game with very specific settings and disallow much of the available content in order to minimize luck as a factor. This leads to developed [[metagame]]s for each installment where [[Smasher|top-tier players]], often playing for prizes and prestige under [[Tournament legal|accepted professional rulesets]] defined by players that organize [[tournament|''Smash Bros.''-centered tournaments]] around the world, and regularly [[advanced technique|use precise skill and exploit game physics]] in order to compete. Like many games that allow for competitive play, such as {{uv|Pokémon}}, each character in each game's cast of playable characters is graded by the community on how much inherently "better" or "worse" it is in comparison to other characters in competitive environments, and these "[[tier list]]s" spawn much community debate of their own. A further point of contention is the practice of creating and distributing unofficial modifications that fix perceived flaws and degenerate aspects with the core game design and character balance. However, the most publicized mod for ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', [[Project M]], has since been featured alongside the official games themselves at national video gaming tournaments and events. | Many players and groups in the competitive playerbase and community for the series choose to play each game with very specific settings and disallow much of the available content in order to minimize luck as a factor.

He features a voice that is heard calling out the names of fighters on the [[character select screen]], as well as calling the status of matches before, during, and after matches, so he can be considered the [[Announcer|narrator]] of the series as well, sharing his voice actor with said announcer in order to drive that point home. He functions as the "final boss" of the game in that the final match of the single-player mode pits the player's character against Master Hand in a 1-on-1 duel. He fights with a variety of unique movements and motions, and instead of a percentage meter, he carries a "traditional" health meter that lowers when taking damage from opponents. Reducing it to zero will defeat him and end the 1P Game in success for the player. | ||

*'''[[Fighting Polygon Team]]''': The "generic fighter grunts" of the game; these are purple, untextured, blocky entities whose shapes and motions are modeled vaguely after the proper fighters in the game. They appear only in the game's single-player mode in two stages: The {{SSB|Race to the Finish}} stage, in which three of them are obstacles in the player's path to the finish, and in the subsequent [[Fighting Polygon Team]] stage, where the player must battle a total of 30 of them as easy-to-KO opponents in a match similar to the Multi-Man Melee/Brawl/Smash of later games. There are twelve varieties of Fighting Polygons, just as there are twelve distinctive fighters in the game. | |||

*'''[[Fan]]''': The polar opposite to the Home-Run Bat and the {{b|Hammer|item}}, the Fan is weak enough that picking it up may be considered a handicap. While it can attack extremely quickly, it does tiny damage and offers no knockback, so it is not considered a helpful item. | |||
[[File:BumperIconSSB.png|50px|right]] | |||
*'''[[Bumper]]''': A unique item not seen in the sequel (but spiritually replaced by the [[Flipper]]), the thrown Bumper creates an obstacle on the ground that knocks back any opponent that touches it. The bumper, in response, slides in the opposite direction. If another opponent gets in its way, the process repeats. The Bumper returned in ''Super Smash Bros.

*'''{{SSBM|Master Hand}}''': The "master of ceremonies" and "narrator" of the series returns in ''Melee'' as a "final boss" enemy like before, but it is no longer the only one. With a slightly redesigned look and some new moves, Master Hand is otherwise not much different as a final boss of the game's [[Classic Mode (SSBM)|"Classic" (Single-Player) Mode]], though he can perform some two-on-one moves with his newly introduced "twin", Crazy Hand.{{clear}} | |||

[[ | *'''{{SSBM|Crazy Hand}}''': The "twin brother" of Master Hand, Crazy Hand is a left hand and is a "hidden boss" in the game. It is described as the embodiment of a child who derives pleasure from destroying his creations, as opposed to Master Hand's will to play around. In the final bout of Classic mode on Normal, Hard, or Very Hard difficulty, when Master Hand has had over half of his hit points depleted, Crazy Hand will erratically enter the battle and join the fight against the player, making it a tougher two-on-one battle. Crazy Hand features at least three of his own unique attacks, and the two Hands will occasionally perform a special two-hand super attack together. If the player can beat both enemies in the match, the Crazy Hand KO bonus will be awarded. Both Hands can also be fought at [[Event 50: Final Destination Match]].{{clear}} | ||

Giga Bowser, whose body is proportionally different to Bowser, has larger horns, and a manic expression on his face, is a hidden final boss in the game's Adventure Mode. At Normal difficulty or above, if the player gets to the final battle against Giant Bowser and defeats him in under 18 minutes, he will "revive" as Giga Bowser to rematch the player; defeating him will yield the Giga Bowser KO bonus and the Giga Bowser trophy. Giga Bowser receives an enormous handicap in his Adventure Mode appearance; he also appears in [[Event 51: The Showdown]], with less of a handicap.{{clear}} | ||

DUMMY can be opened up with a special hack, however, and the stage reveals itself to be completely empty, black space without any death-line borders.

In addition, it appears in the main modes of play as an item, which releases other items when hit - a property exploited in "[[CD Factories]]".
