====''Smash Remix''====

{{main|Smash Remix}}

[[File:SmashRemixLogo.png|300px|center]]

''Smash Remix'' is a mod with the goal to expand Smash 64 with new characters, stages, etc. while staying true to its core gameplay. New mechanics from the other ''Smash'' games, like [[wavedashing]], are added as optional bonuses. The vision involves having tournaments where the new characters are pitched against the old ones, with most of the newcomers being viable against the originals, alongside a set of more powerful boss characters.

Version 0.9, released on April 7th, 2023, adds [[Lucas]] and [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], with the latter's appearance being based on his design first seen in ''Sonic Adventure'', and his moveset being slightly altered to reflect such by replacing [[Spin Dash]] with the [https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Light_Speed_Dash Light Speed Dash]. Four more stages were added, being [[Luigi's Mansion]], [[Delfino Plaza]], Village ([[Smashville]]), and [[Green Hill Zone]]. Reflecting the release time of ''Melee'', the Village takes its design from the Nintendo 64 ''Animal Crossing'' rather than ''Wild World'', and Amy replaces Silver as a [[background character]] in Green Hill Zone. In addition, all newcomers now have their own [[Trophy|trophies]], as well as a new Kirby Hat 6 trophy featuring Kirbys with Wolf's, Diddy Kong's, and Charizard's [[Copy Abilities]] and a Kirby Hat 7 trophy featuring Kirbys with Lucas' and Sonic's Copy Abilities. Trophies of [[Tails]], [[Knuckles]], Amy, [[Super Sonic]], and [[Shadow]] were also added.

====''Beyond Melee''====

[[File:supersmashbrosmelee64.png|500px|center]]

As the name suggests, ''Super Smash Bros. Melee 64'' (often just referred to as "''Melee 64''") is a mod with the goal of making ''Melee'' more like its predecessor, '' Smash 64'', and was first made available in July 2019. A notable feature of the mod is the ability to choose between playing it with ''Melee''{{'}}s regular mechanics and techniques, or a unique version that combines the gameplay styles of ''Melee'' and ''64''. It also contains completely remixed stages, alternate costumes, and menus reflecting ''64''.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===

''[[Brawl-]]'', like most other ''Brawl'' mods, attempts to change the cast and physics of ''Brawl'' in order to make the game more balanced. In a playful jab at the then-active ''Brawl+'' and its carefully considered balancing philosophy, the changes to the characters and physics in ''Brawl-'' are intended by the developers to be absurd and over-the-top in comparison. ''Brawl-''{{'}}s character design can be boiled down to the mantra "if everyone is broken, no one is". [[Hitstun]], for instance, has been drastically increased as to allow for combos that are much easier to perform than either ''Brawl'' or ''Melee'', and all characters now have the ability to [[wall jump]]. In addition, all characters have been buffed to ridiculous levels and each given a plethora of new, very powerful options; {{SSBB|Ike}}, for instance, can charge [[Eruption]] and store it, allowing for a powerful kill move. The mod is noteworthy for being an early major ''Brawl'' mod aimed towards casual players (although competitive balancing is still of importance to the developers).

====''Project M''====

Version 1.0 was released on March 27, 2022 after the tournament Project M Theatre.

====''Legacy TE''====

''Legacy MP+'' is a modification of ''[[Brawl]]'' that features character rebalancing, a mode inspired by ''[https://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Lethal_League Lethal League]'', and additional costumes such as one for Bowser that references the ending of ''Super Mario Odyssey'' where Mario [[mariowiki:Capture|captures]] him, costumes for the ''Star Fox'' characters inspired by ''[https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Z Dragon Ball Z]'', a set of costumes for Charizard based on the Armor Style [[bulbapedia:Holowear|Holowear]] from ''Pokémon UNITE'', adding [[mariowiki:Peachette|Peachette]] as an alternate costume for Peach, and even adding [https://info.sonicretro.org/Scourge_the_Hedgehog Scourge the Hedgehog] as an alternate costume for Sonic.

''REX'' is a more casual expansion of ''Project+'', adding many new characters and stages. Like the aforementioned ''Legacy XP'', the goal of this build is to balance quantity with quality. Good character balancing is also a goal of ''REX'', and the developers strive to maintain a meta that isn't completely dominated by just a few characters.

====''Project Horizon''====

''Project Horizon'' follows a similar design philosophy to ''REX'', but distinguishes itself with several characters not in ''REX'' (including non-gaming 3rd parties like [https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Goku Goku] from the ''Dragon Ball'' series and [https://scottpilgrim.fandom.com/wiki/Scott_Pilgrim Scott Pilgrim] from ''Scott Pilgrim vs. The World''), other stages that have not made it to ''REX''{{'}}s stage list, and an intentional lack of backported characters from future Super Smash Bros. games.

====''Project Meta Plus EX''====

Project Meta Plus EX is a Project+EX build with a different roster, adding characters who did not debut in a video game such as Goku and Kirito, alongside 2 new original characters, as well as characters who are not in REX such as Roxas, Proto-Man, Mach Rider, Doom Slayer, and Ayumi Tachibana. The modification also includes stages from manga and anime such as My Hero Academia, and stage recreations of Earthbound 64 locations. Finally, the mod features stages from fangames such as Super Smash Land.

====''Ultimate S''====

====''TR4SH Rebuffed''====

[https://gamebanana.com/mods/372158 TR4SH Rebuffed] is a collaboration that takes the best from the TR4SH and Smash Rebuffed modpacks, which were both overhaul mods for Super Smash Bros. Wii U. It uses the crazy gimmicks and silliness of TR4SH combined with the fast combo-based gameplay of Smash Rebuffed. Despite being a mod that "buffs" and makes characters stronger than vanilla for the most part, TR4SH Rebuffed also rebalances certain aspects across the cast, aiming to keep gameplay competitive friendly. It is also considered to be the closest mod to resemble Brawl- in terms of feel. In terms of global mechanics, TR4SH Rebuffed has included wavedashing, DACUS, DACDS (Dash Attack Canceled Down Smash), perfect pivoting, increased hitstun, and wall-jumping for the entire cast.
