The first game I ever owned for the Nintendo 64, Super Smash Bros. is the first installment of the series, and it is good.
Here, you get 12 characters (4 needing to be unlocked) to fight with, which ranks from Mario himself to Link, the hero from The Legend Of Zelda, to Star Fox leader Fox McCloud, to the Pokémon known as Pikachu. As for the story of why these Nintendo heroes are beating each other senseless: there is no story, just a cutscene where the characters are plush toys brought to life by Master Hand, who serves as the final boss of the single player mode. But who needs a story when the game offers you and the buddy to choose your favorite Nintendo hero and battle it out to see who is better.
Each character has three special attacks, which are easy to perform, and each of the nine available stages has their own hazards. Also, there are items and weapons that spawn during each fight that can be used, from melee weapons like the Star Rod and the Baseball Bat, to trap items like bumpers and mines, to even Maxim Tomatoes and Heart Containers that are used to heal damage. Other than fighting, there are two bonus stages: Break The Targets and Board The Platforms, where you try to destroy all targets or activate all platforms and get a good time. While it does pale in comparison to its sequels in terms of content, it is still a fun way to waste time with friends, and without this, the sequels would not exist.
