''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. | ''Smash Remix'' is a mod with the goal to expand Smash 64 with new characters, stages, etc. while staying true to its core gameplay.

There are currently two new characters added in the mod, those being [[Daisy]] and [[Wario]], and [[Shadow the Hedgehog|Shadow]] will be added soon. Unlike ''The Akaneia Build'', all characters that weren't in ''Melee'' have unique [[announcer]] calls done by the game's original announcer, Dean Harrington provided by [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie6buZduoGU David V. Kimball]. [[Lucas]] had his design changed to match his outfit in the cancelled ''{{iw|wikibound|EarthBound 64}}''. Many veterans received new [[alternate costume]]s and more stages have been added such as [[Sector Z]], [[Castle Siege]], {{iw|mariowiki|Mine Cart Madness}}, {{iw|mariowiki|Bowser's Castle}}, {{iw|bulbapedia|Ecruteak City}}, {{iw|wikirby|Celestial Valley}}, a ''Melee'' version of [[Small Battlefield]], {{iw|mariowiki|Wario's Castle}}, and in a future update, [https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Radical_Highway Radical Highway]. | ||

''[[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). | ''[[Brawl-]]'', like most other ''Brawl'' mods, attempts to change the cast and physics of ''Brawl'' in order to make the game more balanced.

''Brawl-'' enjoyed considerable popularity and attention when first released in 2010, and it became the most popular ''Brawl'' mod among the fanbase in this time, due to its more obvious changes compared to ''Balanced Brawl'' and its less controversial changes compared to ''Brawl+''; the game was even featured as a side-event at some ''Brawl'' tournaments, such as at [[Apex 2010]]. As ''Project M'' got farther into development and started releasing more complete builds, however, ''Brawl-'' would become eclipsed in popularity, though it still has a large, devoted cult following.

''REX''{{'}}s roster covers a wide range of franchises and characters, including characters that were added to later Smash titles (some with redesigned movesets like [[Ridley]] and [[Lucina]], others more faithful backports like [[Wii Fit Trainer]] and [[Sora]]), popular characters that never quite made it to Smash like [[Waluigi]], [[Geno]], and {{iw|wikirby|Bandana Waddle Dee}}, and more obscure picks like {{iw|fzerowiki|Deathborn}} | ''REX''{{'}}s roster covers a wide range of franchises and characters, including characters that were added to later Smash titles (some with redesigned movesets like [[Ridley]] and [[Lucina]], others more faithful backports like [[Wii Fit Trainer]] and [[Sora]]), popular characters that never quite made it to Smash like [[Waluigi]], [[Geno]], and {{iw|wikirby|Bandana Waddle Dee}}, and more obscure picks like {{iw|fzerowiki|Deathborn}} from ''F-Zero GX'', Vectorman from his namesake games, and [[Sukapon]] from ''Joy Mech Fight''.

''REX'' enjoys continued development from both the internal dev team and external collaborators, including polishing character movesets and animations, redesigning textures to better fit ''Brawl''{{'}}s art style, and even providing new voice work for some characters. | ||

[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. | [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.

Despite the non-serious nature of the mod, CHAO5 does aim to be creative in overhauling the entire cast. The mod attempts to differentiate echo fighters, with some even gaining new animations and moves (with Daisy being a notable example). This mod also adds extra costumes to fighters, without replacing any existing ones. In the v1.0.0 update released on November 26th, 2022, CHAO5 has introduced two new fighters; Claus from Mother 3 (being Lucas's echo fighter) and Giga Bowser. Claus is mostly similar to Lucas but has some different moves/animations (taking some from P+ Lucas), voice acting, different coloured PSI effects, and even his own Classic Mode Route. Both Giga Bowser and Claus do not replace any existing fighter and have their own slots on the Character Select Screen. In the v2.0.0 update released on January 7, 2025, The mod has come a fair way and introduced even more new fighters; Silver The Hedgehog, Waluigi, Blaziken, Krystal (from Starfox), Ninten (from Earthbound Beginnings), Masked Man (Mother 3), and Kamek (Super Mario series). | Despite the non-serious nature of the mod, CHAO5 does aim to be creative in overhauling the entire cast.
