All about Super Smash Bros.

Super Smash Bros. is a fighting game franchise by Masahiro Sakurai, a game developer at HAL Laboratory. It features Nintendo characters plus some other characters owned by other companies fighting each other. The original 8 characters featured in the first game are Mario, Donkey Kong, Link from the Legend of Zelda, Samus Aran from Metroid, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox McCloud from Star Fox and Pikachu from Pokemon. The franchise has five games, with the latest one being Ultimate on the Nintendo Switch. In every title starting from the first one, more characters get added. The objective of this game is to knock other players off the map and be the last one standing. Each of the 90 characters in the game have a unique collection of attacks to pick from. What makes Smash Bros. stand out from other fighting games is its platformer layout and physics. I hope you guys could give this game a chance!
