In 1999, Nintendo released a bold and unexpected title for the Nintendo 64 that would go on to become one of the most beloved fighting franchises in gaming history. Super Smash Bros. brought together characters from multiple Nintendo universes in a fast-paced, chaotic brawler that immediately captured the attention of gamers everywhere.
Now, thanks to Lemon Web Solutions, this classic game is fully playable right in your browser—on both desktop and mobile devices.
A New Kind of Fighting Game
Unlike traditional one-on-one fighting games of the time, Super Smash Bros. introduced a completely different approach. Instead of depleting an opponent's health bar, players aim to knock each other off the stage. The more damage a character takes, the farther they fly when hit, making every smash attack a potential game-changer.
This mechanic created a fighting experience that was both competitive and approachable, perfect for casual matches or serious multiplayer showdowns.

Super Smash Bros. was revolutionary not just for its gameplay mechanics, but also for its character roster. For the first time, players could see Mario battle Link, Pikachu go head-to-head with Samus, or Kirby take on Fox McCloud. The original roster included twelve characters, each with unique movesets and special abilities pulled straight from their respective games.
