The '''GameShark''' is a cheating device designed for the [[Nintendo 64]] console; it was not released for later Nintendo systems. GameShark is frequently used to hack ''[[ Smash Bros]]'', similar to how the [[Action Replay]] is used to hack into ''[[Melee]]''. Apart from simply cheating at the game, it is useful for accessing content that is not normally available. Common examples include fighting in [[stages]] (such as [[Final Destination (SSB)|Final Destination]], the "demo" stage, or even beta versions of Kirby's level) and playing as [[characters]] ([[Metal Mario]], [[Master Hand]], [[Giant DK]], or a [[Fighting Polygon]]) that cannot be accessed normally.
