Fanon:Super Smash Bros. NES

The original article was written on Smashpedia from 2008-2013, and it falls under the compatible CC-BY-SA license. Super Smash Bros. NES is an unofficial game created by Rebirth Gaming via GameMaker. The game is based on the Super Smash Bros. series. The game features many characters such as Mario and Samus, and they are all based on their appearance from the NES. The game was released on January 12, 2008.

Gameplay
Super Smash Bros. NES's gameplay is very similar to that of the official Super Smash Bros. games. Unlike other fighting games, damage is measured by percentage and fighting focuses more on hitting enemies off the stage. The higher the percentage, the easier it is to knock enemies off the stage.

In keeping with the fact that it was made to be an NES game, there are only two attack buttons and movement is used arrow keys (or J,K,L,I for a second player). The "Z" key is used, for most characters, as an attack that can be charged up; when playing with two people the left mouse button is used for a second player. Charged attacks can deal more damage, but it leaves the player idle and thus vulnerable to other attacks. Over-Z attacks depends on the character and it differs for each character. The "X" key executes a weak, but quick attack that can be used in rapid succession; when playing with two people the right mouse button is used for a second player. By crouching and pressing the "X" key, one can shield.

 * Metalman's Stage - A stage with spikes, platforms, and gears. When touched, the spikes damage you and the gears move you at a certain direction when atop them, similar to the moving platforms on Pokémon Stadium 2.

Unlockable stages

 * Balloon Zone - Balloon Zone is a small stage with a central platform above the water based on the Balloon Fight game. A cloud hovers above the stage which may occasionally shoot out a bolt of lightning across the stage damaging the player if he or she touches it. If one was to fall in the water the giant fish would come out and drag you in. It is unlocked by getting Balloon Fighter.

This stage is large and flat with no stage hazards at all. It can be compared to Final Destination. This stage is unlocked by collecting 20 cards and then viewing your card collection by going to Options, then Records and then pressing the C button.

Game modes
There are three game modes in Super Smash Bros. NES.


 * Adventure Mode - Adventure mode features stages based on the Mario, Zelda, Megaman, Metroid, and Kirby series each ending with a boss. In the Mario stage Bowser attacks with flames across the stage until you catch up with him, Mario then defeats Bowser and you have to fight Mario. In the Zelda stage, you first fight a Stalfos and after it is defeated Dark Link appears and you must defeat him, occasionally enemies will come down to distract you from Dark Link. In the Kirby stage, Meta Knight appears but instead of fighting him you must fight Kirby. It should be noted that Metaknight was originally a boss in the first public demo. The next level is a two part Megaman stage with Megaman and Quickman as Bosses. The next stage is a Metroid level with a boss battle against Mother Brain. The final level is a boss battle with Master Hand.


 * Break the Targets - It is very similar to the ones seen in the official games. The player must utilize each character's own abilities in order to break a certain amount of targets. Through practice, one can beat each character's records in less time.


 * Multiplayer - In this mode a player has the choice to battle with up to four other characters. Since the NES had two controllers, the game supports another human player that can fight as well.
