Super Smash Bros.

Controls are analogue-based, with different moves executed depending on the direction and how firmly the stick is pressed.

Items like baseball bats, Bob-ombs, and healing items drop into the arenas at random, aiding any nearby characters than can make use of them.

The game uses a fixed viewpoint which scrolls, although characters are rendered in 3D.

The one-player mode has 14 stages to work through.

Up to 4 human players can do battle at once, with team play as well as all-against-all action.

Hidden characters are thrown in for good measure, as are bonus rounds, and a battle to the end with a giant hand (you read right).

Playable characters include: Captain Falcon* (F-Zero series) Donkey Kong (Donkey Kong games) Fox (Star Fox series) Kirby (Kirby games) Jigglypuff* (Pokémon universe) Link (Legend of Zelda series) Luigi* (Mario games) Mario (Mario games) Ness* (Mother/EarthBound series) Pikachu (Pokémon universe) Samus (Metroid series) Yoshi (Mario games) * denotes any characters that need to be unlocked under special conditions first.

Super Smash Bros. has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Super Smash Bros., loose is €15.89 and CIB is €8.56 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Super Smash Bros. is currently worth €15.89 loose, versus €15.09 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
