Smash Remix is a gameplay modification of Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64. The mod expands upon the original game with new characters, stages, and features, while leaving the original 12 characters and general mechanics unchanged in an attempt to stay true to the original's core gameplay. The mod was envisioned to have tournaments where the new characters could be pitted against the old ones, with all the newcomers being viable against the originals.
Characters[edit]
Smash Remix features all 12 characters from the original game without any changes. Additionally, the player has the option to play as regional variants of the characters, with the only ones not present being Fox (Europe) and Link (Australia).
As of the current build, 18 new characters have been added labeled as "Remix Characters", consisting of eight characters that originated in Melee, five from Brawl, two from Ultimate, and three unique to Smash Remix. In earlier versions, Remix Characters would completely replace the characters they were based on (Ganondorf replaced Captain Falcon, Young Link replaced Link, Falco replaced Fox, and Dr. Mario replaced Mario). This would be changed starting in Version 0.9 to allow players to use the original characters alongside the new ones.
In addition to Remix Characters, "Boss Characters" are also playable, with the player given the ability to choose them upon input when selecting a certain character. These boss characters include the originally unplayable Metal Mario, Giant Donkey Kong, and Fighting Polygons that are the boss characters of Mario, Donkey Kong, and the entire cast (save Boss Characters) respectively. Eight new boss characters have also been included, with Metal Luigi, Giga Bowser, Super Sonic, Mad Piano, Peppy, Slippy, Ebisumaru, and Dragon King being the boss characters of Luigi, Bowser, Sonic, Kirby, Fox, Falco, Goemon, and Captain Falcon respectively. Additionally, Master Hand can be accessed as a boss form for Link through a name select Easter egg, with some extra data like an announcer call and results screen animations, though he can only be fought in one-stock or stamina battles, as otherwise the game will crash when he is KO'd.

Stages[edit]
As of version 1.5.0, Smash Remix features 85 slots for stages spread across 5 pages on the stage selection screen (17 per page, 6x3 with the random stage select button at the bottom right), though many stages have alternate variants with different layouts or aesthetics that can be toggled with a button press. It also features two toggles for turning stage hazards or platform movement off.
All nine of the original stages are included, along with new Omega and Dream Land variations for each one. Unlike Ω form and Battlefield form stages in the official titles, the stage hazard of each is still present if hazards are enabled. Omega stages keep the dimensions of Dream Land's main platform and blast zones as opposed to the N64 Final Destination, owing to its abnormally high ceiling. Some stages also have a "remix" form, which encompasses alternate variations that cannot otherwise be classified. Several stages are included from across the official Smash series, while others are entirely original and many come from series that are not represented in Remix by a playable character. Some of the stages originating from official Smash games (such as Green Hill Zone) feature similar aesthetics but significantly altered layouts, while others like Corneria City (Lylat Cruise) significantly change the aesthetics but keep the same layout as the original. Including all Omega, DL, and Remix stages, the mod features 134 total stages as of version 1.5.0.
Several stages have special callbacks to their sources in their presentation. On the Mario Kart stages, the Countdown sound effect from Mario Kart 64 will play alongside the announcer counting down the beginning of the match. The Dragon King stage features a unique HUD layout based on that of Dragon King: The Fighting Game, while the Pokémon Stadium stages feature battle commentary from the announcer of Pokémon Stadium (voiced by Ted Lewis through re-purposed voice clips); both features can also be optionally enabled on any stage.
Some stages have undergone visual or mechanical revisions between versions, such as Great Deku Tree and Crateria beginning as Dream Land reskins before being given original layouts in version 1.4.0. Three stages seen in earlier builds were later cut and replaced with new ones; the replacement stages retain the same layouts as the cut stages, but instead use aesthetics from era-appropriate games:
- The Skyloft stage from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U was replaced by Tal Tal Heights from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening in version 1.2.0.
- The Kalos Pokémon League stage from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U was replaced by the Gym Leader Castle from Pokémon Stadium in version 1.4.0.
- The Battlefield from Ultimate was replaced with an original Battlefield design inspired by the North American commercial for Super Smash Bros. in version 1.5.0.
Stages that come with Omega, Dream Land, and Remix variations are marked with a superscript Ω (Omega), δ (Delta), and ρ (Rho) respectively.
