The '''How to Play''' video is a tutorial in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that plays if the player waits at the title screen for long enough, though it can also be accessed manually in the [[Data]] menu of the [[main menu]] in the PAL version, and the [[Archives]] sub-menu in other versions. It depicts {{SSBM|Mario}} battling {{SSBM|Bowser}} on [[Pokémon Stadium]]. The video explains the basic mechanics of ''Melee'' and is meant to teach a beginner how to play.
