How to Play (SSBM)

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 be accessed manually in the Data menu of the Main Menu. It depicts Mario battling Bowser on Pokémon Stadium. The video explains the basic mechanics of Melee and is meant to teach a beginner how to play.

• Walking and running
• Shielding and dodging
• Jumping
• Neutral attacks
• Strong attacks (also known as "Tilt attacks")
• Smash attacks
• Grabs and throws
• Aerial attacks
• Special moves
• Meteor smashes (not mentioned by name, but Mario is shown using a meteor smash, with subtitles saying "Spot an enemy in the air and...intercept!")
