Smash Remix

Smash Remix: Expanding the Classic Super Smash Bros. Experience

Smash Remix is a gameplay modification of Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64 that aims to enhance and expand upon the original game while maintaining its core gameplay mechanics. The vision behind Smash Remix is to introduce new characters, stages, and features while keeping the essence of the beloved classic intact.

The modification preserves the original 12 characters from Super Smash Bros , ensuring that their mechanics remain unchanged. However, Smash Remix takes it a step further by introducing new playable characters, labeled as "Remix Characters." These new additions bring the total roster to 29 characters, with 17 being Remix Characters. It's important to note that prior to Version 0.9, Remix Characters would entirely replace the characters they were based on, such as Ganondorf replacing Captain Falcon. However, starting from Version 0.9, players have the option to choose between the original characters and the Remix Characters.

Character Expansion: Remix Characters and Boss Characters

In addition to the Remix Characters, Smash Remix introduces "Boss Characters" that players can select during character selection. These boss characters include iconic figures like Metal Mario, Giant Donkey Kong, and polygon versions of various characters. The roster of boss characters has expanded to include newcomers such as Giga Bowser, Mad Piano, Super Sonic, Peppy, and Slippy. This addition brings an exciting twist to the gameplay, allowing players to experience battles from a different perspective.

Stage Selection: A Wide Array of Stages

One of the standout features of Smash Remix is the extensive selection of stages. With 83 slots spread across 5 pages on the stage selection screen, players have a wealth of options to choose from. The game features the nine original stages from Super Smash Bros , each with Omega and Dream Land variations. Unlike the official titles, the stage hazards remain active if enabled, providing a true throwback experience. Some stages even have unique "remix" forms, offering alternative layouts and aesthetics. The stages range from those found in the official Smash series to entirely original creations that represent series not represented by playable characters in Smash Remix.

To cater to different player preferences, Smash Remix offers toggles for turning off stage hazards or Platform Movement, allowing for customized gameplay experiences. Additionally, stages that come with Omega, Dream Land, and Remix variations are marked accordingly with superscripts Ω, δ, and ρ, respectively. Stages that currently lack implemented hazards are marked with an "X" superscript.

Changes and Updates: Evolution of the Stages in Smash Remix

It's worth mentioning that certain stages have undergone changes throughout different versions of Smash Remix . For example, the Skyloft stage from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U was initially included but has since been replaced by the Tal Tal Heights stage. Similarly, the Kalos Pokémon League stage from the same Wii U game was replaced by the Gym Leader Castle stage.

Smash Remix offers an exciting opportunity for players to revisit the classic Super Smash Bros. experience while enjoying new characters, stages, and features. With its commitment to maintaining the core gameplay mechanics and ensuring a balance between the original and new additions, Smash Remix provides a fresh and engaging twist on a beloved Nintendo 64 title. Whether you're a fan of the original game or seeking a new Super Smash Bros. experience, Smash Remix offers something for everyone.
