A 2-dimensional fighting game series by
Nintendo, featuring iconic members of the Nintendo cast (i.
e.
Mario, Link, etc.) as well as guest characters from other franchises (i.e. Solid
Snake, Persona 5’s Joker, Cloud Strife, etc.).
All Smash Bros games follow the same basic formula: Victory is achieved by launching the opponent out of the arena. Attack your opponent to damage them, which makes them easier to launch. Often, the game is played with 2-3 lives, although there is an option with infinite lives and a time limit, and even a “health points” mode (Stamina Battle).
