Special Movie

<youtube>R7pLDXA9Org</youtube>

The Special Movie is a nearly-fifteen minute long bonus video included in the NTSC versions of Super Smash Bros. Melee, found in the Archives sub-menu of the Data menu. The clip itself features the starter characters and their abilities, as well as various single-player modes, items, stages, and trophies.

Various elements different from the final game can be seen in this clip, such as Peach having different voice clips, and Temple having unused platforms.

The movie is not available in the PAL versions of Melee, speculated to be due to the inability to fit all translated languages of the movie onto the disc.

The special movie is broken into 18 sections, as well as an introduction and ending.

Introduction

The Special Movie opens up by fading into several different matches. Several different sound effects play during this sequence, but they do not line up with the matches being displayed.

The matches include:

• One on Mute City between Captain Falcon, Pikachu, Ness, and Kirby,
• One on Princess Peach's Castle between Ice Climbers, Yoshi, Mario, and Kirby,
• One on Onett between Ness, Fox, Pikachu, and Ice Climbers,
• One on Jungle Japes between Donkey Kong, Ice Climbers, Mario, and Ness,
• One on Fountain of Dreams between Bowser, Ice Climbers, Mario, and Kirby,
• One on Temple between Sheik, Bowser, Ness, and Yoshi,
• One on Kongo Jungle between Mario, Samus, Link, and Pikachu,
• Another on Princess Peach's Castle between Peach, Mario, Captain Falcon, and Ice Climbers,
• One on Brinstar between Samus, Pikachu, Fox, and Peach,
• One on Corneria between Fox, Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Samus,
• One on Pokémon Stadium between Pikachu, Mario, Bowser, and Fox.

The screen then cuts to the title screen.

Section 1: Mario

Mario's section includes:

• Mario dropping down on Pokémon Stadium and running across it.
• Mario using his taunt on the platforms of Mushroom Kingdom with his red, yellow, brown, and blue alternate costumes.
• Mario air dodging a Falcon Punch.
• Mario catching a Bob-omb thrown by Pikachu, then throwing it back.

• Mario air dodging Donkey Kong's up smash.
• Mario carrying a Crate.
• Mario throwing a Green Shell into a bunch of Goombas and knocking off Bowser.
• Mario fighting Ness.
• Mario and his alternate costumes crouching. In this scene, there are 6 Marios at one time, which is impossible in normal gameplay (without the debug menu).
• Mario jumping off a ledge.
• Mario spot dodging a shot from Fox's Blaster.
• Mario using Mario Tornado to fly up.
• Mario using Mario Tornado to damage opponents.
• Mario using his neutral attack as well as his tilts and smash attacks.
• Mario using Cape to reflect PK Thunder.
• Mario using Cape to reflect Missile.
• Mario breaking a ? Block to release a Mushroom.
• Mario jumping to the top of Peach's Castle.

Trivia

• Some characters are seen having the same alternate costume as another, something that is usually impossible without hacking.
• Bowser, Samus, Ice Climbers, and Ness are the only four characters that do not have a song of their own. Bowser appears right after Captain Falcon and so he uses "Mute City" (which is Captain Falcon's song), Samus appears right after Fox so she uses "Corneria" (which is Fox's song), Ice Climbers appear right after Pikachu so they use "Poke Floats" (which is Pikachu's song; although it's one of Pikachu's credits theme the other being "Pokémon Stadium" but this has Pikachu using "Poke Floats" instead. However, this song "Poke Floats" plays on the stage Poke Floats and it's an unlockable stage.), and Ness appears right after Kirby and so he uses "Green Greens". Ten characters use their own songs when they appear in the Special Movie (including: Mario and Peach, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Link and Zelda, Captain Falcon, Fox, Pikachu, and Kirby).
• Although Mario and Peach, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Link and Zelda, Captain Falcon, Fox, Pikachu, and Kirby use songs from their own franchises, Mario and Peach are the only two ones that do not use one of their credits themes. Instead of Mario having "Super Mario Bros. 3" and Peach having "Rainbow Cruise", they both use the song "Princess Peach's Castle" (which is Bowser's home stage). "Rainbow Cruise" actually plays on Section 16 (which is "Items"). The remaining eight use a song which is one of their credits themes (like Donkey Kong with "Kongo Jungle", Yoshi with "Yoshi's Island", Link and Zelda with "Great Bay", Fox with "Corneria", Pikachu with "Poke Floats", and Kirby with "Green Greens").
• Bowser is the only character that does not appear with his franchise, so appears after Captain Falcon. However, he is from the Super Mario franchise; but oddly uses the song "Mute City" which is Captain Falcon's.
