Super Smash Bros. Melee

---

Introduction

Super Smash Bros. Melee is the second installment of the SSB franchise for the Gamecube. Melee features enhanced graphics for character models and stages alike, with a new Adventure mode. There are also a ton more characters and stages to choose from, some of which you'll have to unlock. There's also a new Events mode where you fight it out in certain scenarios. Some will help unlock characters and stages.

Melee is still a fun multiplayer game, and even if you want to duke it out solo against the AI, it's still fun. There are trophies to collect, Stadium mode to conquer, and special melees like Stamina or Super Sudden Death. A new Tournament Mode also is fun to do multiplayer on.

Iconic characters like Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Link, and so on make a return to Melee from the first Super Smash Bros., and several new ones like Bowser, Zelda, Peach also debut in Melee. There are also several hidden characters which can be unlocked by certain conditions.

Melee is still chock full of fun and is a great game for Gamecube or Wii alike (can only be played w/ GC controllers on Wii).
