Name These Characters
These two characters were slightly lesser-known and used when compared to some of the other main characters, although they were some of the most interesting. When you chose this pair as your character, one would be controlled by you, and another would be an AI-controlled character that would follow you around and mirror your moves to some extent. They often teamed up together for special moves that would not be possible with just one character. But can you name these characters?
Which Of The Following Pokémon Has NOT Been A Player Character In A Smash Bros. Game?
Pokémon have been a major part of Smash Bros. for many iterations of the game, and you can choose to play as certain Pokemon as your character, if you wish. Fans of the Pokémon games loved being able to pick their favorite Pokémon and take them to the battlefield. But even if you didn't see your favorite Pokémon as a choice for a player character, you might still see them come out of a Pokéball. But which of these is NOT a Pokémon you can choose as a character?
True Or False, Super Smash Bros. Melee Was On The Gamecube
Super Smash Bros. is one of those games by Nintendo which has proven to be a massive hit. These games have been on multiple systems, and each time they've been huge sellers for the system. On one system, it was the number one selling game throughout the years. This game is a great game to play, and even though it's simple, it never gets old. Super Smash Bros. Melee is a prime example of that. But do you know if it was on the Gamecube?
What Star Wars Weapon Does Smash Bros. “Steal?”
Even though each character is equipped with an arsenal of moves, abilities, and even weapons in some cases, it always helps to pick up items. Veteran Smash Bros. players know that items can be the difference between victory and defeat, and know how to use them wisely. There are many items that come from different games, most from within the Nintendo universe. But there is one weapon in particular that seems to be a blatant rip off from the Star Wars universe...
True Or False, Smash Bros. Is Single Player Only
Smash Bros. is a game that is full of mayhem. The fact that you're not sure what exactly is going on means that the game is running exactly how it should be. Playing with AI opponents can be quite the challenge, and it's a great way to improve your skills at this game. Many of us will probably be training hard with the older versions of this game, in preparation for the new Switch release. But is it true that the game is single player only?
True Or False, There Is A Smash Bros. Game For A Nintendo Handheld Device
Super Smash Bros. is a game that most people know from playing in their homes, on the couch, preferably with at least three other friends. There's no doubt that this is the way the game was meant to be played, and that's where you'll have the most fun. This game provides a cinematic experience that is definitely quite addicting, and it's hard to put down. But is it true that Nintendo came out with a portable version of the game?
Which Of These Characters Was In The First Smash Game?
Super Smash Bros. goes way back. Although it's not as old as some of the other entries in the Nintendo universe, you'd have to go back to the N64 days to see the very beginning of this amazing game. Back then, there were way fewer characters, and the game mechanics were similar, but pretty different as well. There have been a lot of changes over the years, but a few characters remain from the first edition. Which of these WAS one of the first?
How Do You Win In Smash Bros.?
To the untrained eye, Super Smash Bros. can seem a little strange, even pointless. Why are all these characters trying to beat each other up. What exactly are they trying to achieve here? Is there any real sense of tactics going on? Well, veteran gamers will tell you that there is a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to Super Smash Bros., and everyone is trying desperately to win. But how exactly do you win in this game?
True Or False, There Are Health Bars In Smash Bros.
If you know the answer to the previous question, you're probably not going to have too much trouble with this one, either. Winning in Super Smash Bros. means dealing damage to your enemies, and eventually booting them right off the stage. It's a satisfying feeling, but how do you know if you're close to actually winning in this manner? Is it true that in Smash Bros, characters have health bars, as they do in so many other fighting games today?
What Can You Use To Protect Yourself From Damage?
There is a way to protect yourself in Smash Bros., meaning that things can actually get pretty tactical in heated matches between two very skilled fighters. Knowing when to protect yourself and when to attack is vital to victory, and it takes a real sense of timing and accuracy to succeed in this manner. The way players block attacks and protect themselves is very simple. One button allows the player to avoid damage. But how exactly is the character able to protect themselves?
What Happens When You Activate Your Shield For Too Long?
Shields are some of the best things in the game to get you to the end of the round unharmed, but don't get too reliant on them. Veterans of this game know that holding down the shield for too long can result in some pretty nasty consequences, and this can be pretty bad for players who make this mistake. The game encourages you to attack and be aggressive in this manner, so it's a good thing you can't rely on your shield for too long...
Which Attack Can Beat A Shield?
Shields might break if you activate them for too long, but that's not the only way they're vulnerable. A player can walk right up to you and hurt you even with your shield activated, provided they know which move to use. This adds a whole new dimension to the game, and cranks up the whole tactical gameplay by several notches. There is of course one attack that can "beat" a shield. But do you know which attack this actually is?
If Two Players Attack At The Same Time, With One Grabbing And One Punching, Which One Will Win?
So we've gone through shields, grabbing, and attacking. Now you're probably beginning to understand just how complex this game really is. Some have likened shields, grabbing and attacking to a game of "rock, paper, scissors." One beats the other, but is vulnerable to a different attack. At the breakneck pace of Smash Bros, it's tough to figure out which attack you should actually be using. But say one player is punching and the other is grabbing at the exact same moment. Which player would win?
Which Item Lets You Do A “Final Smash?”
Final Smashes are a relatively new addition to the franchise, and they'll probably be making a comeback in in the newest addition of the game on the Switch. As if there wasn't enough mayhem going around already, the Final Smash adds in a powerful, unique move to each character. There is very little you can do to defend against such an attack. The attacks must be activated by using a very specific item. But do you know which item this is?
Name This Character
This character is a well-known, although fairly recent addition to the Smash Bros. Franchise. He's known for being the smaller, less strong version of another antagonist in other Nintendo games, and he often makes appearances in games like these. He's also appeared in Mario Golf, as well as many other entries. Although he's smaller than the larger version of himself, he's also quicker and more nimble, making him a popular choice for many players. But can you actually identify him?
True Or False, You Can Taunt In Some Smash Bros. Games
Taunts are a common addition to many fighting games, shooting games, indeed all kinds of games these days. They're a fun way to celebrate a victory, and we also see a lot of them with online games. If you feel extra good about that headshot you just pulled off, why not taunt and try to infuriate your opponent even more? Smash Bros. is definitely a game that can get very competitive. But is it true that you can taunt in this game?
Which Stick-Figure Character Comes From Nintendo Games Way Back In The 80s?
Smash Bros. loves to bring back obscure and classic characters that have appeared in past Nintendo games. Recently, Nintendo started to feature players that aren't even really directly associated with Nintendo at all in their Smash Bros. games. There are rumors that the newest addition in the franchise will feature even more distant characters to the Nintendo universe, like Crash Bandicoot among others. But which character dates back to Nintendo's very beginnings in the 1980s? Can you identify this character?
Which Item Has The Power To KO A Player Instantly?
There is one item that is feared perhaps more than any other item in Smash Bros' history. This item plays a special tune when it's picked up, and whenever players hear that sound, they know to do one thing - run. Although experts might know some risky maneuvers to stop this item in its tracks, the best thing to do is just get out of its way. This item has the power to KO instantly. But which item are we talking about?
What Container Item Can Drop Food?
Food is a strange but welcome addition to the Smash Bros. universe. Just when you though this game couldn't get any more random and all over the place, they decided to add this feature in. Because who doesn't want donuts, pancakes and sushi flying around while you're trying to hit people and dodge attacks, right? Anyway, there's one item that usually drops food, and this can be pretty helpful at times. But do you know which item we're talking about?
What Happens When You Eat Food?
So we know that food is a thing in Smash Bros, but what happens when you actually eat that food? That's right, the food isn't just there for show, it actually has a purpose. In fact, eating food at the right moment can mean the difference between victory and defeat, so suddenly those donuts don't seem so pointless anymore. In fact, tactical donuts are a very real thing in the world of Smash Bros. But what exactly does food do?
What Happens When You Hit A “Dud Crate”
Crates are another common item throughout the Smash Bros series, and they should look pretty familiar to veteran players. There's always the chance that something crazy and unexpected can come out of these crates, and they're generally a lot more unpredictable than other items designed as "containers." Throwing a crate at someone is usually a good move, but what happens if you accidentally punch or hit a "dud crate?" Veteran players will know not to do this, but rookies might have made this mistake before...
Name This Character
This character is a relatively new addition to the franchise, and he's one of the best additions yet. Although he wasn't around for the very beginning of the Smash Bros. story, he's definitely been around as a character for a long time indeed. He's one of Nintendo's most beloved characters, and many people will probably recognize him from other games. He makes for quite an opponent in the Smash Bros games. But can you identify this famous Smash Bros character?
Which Is The Only Character That Does Not Use Their Hands To Swing The Hammer?
When a player grabs the hammer, it's time to run. But there's one player who doesn't exactly GRAB the hammer. In fact, he's the only character in the series who doesn't use his hands to use this formidable weapon, making for a unique animation as we see him wreak havok with the hammer. It totally fits in with his character, though, and we understand why he chose to do this. But do you know which character does not use their hands to use the Hammer?
Which Pokémon Has A Powerful Move Which Involves Falling Asleep?
Some of the moves in Smash Bros are pretty strange. For a fighting game, there's a huge variety in different moves across all the different characters, and they're definitely not all the same. While most of the moves involve more straightforward attacking methods like kicking and punching, there are some really imaginative moves out there. One move, delivered by a Pokémon, involves falling asleep. And when the character wakes up, a huge amount of damage is dealt. But which Pokémon does this?
What Kind Of Projectiles Does This Flower Shoot?
This item is another very popular choice for Smash Bros players, and it can be pretty lethal. For veteran Nintendo players in general, this item will be very familiar, as it has appeared in countless other Mario and Nintendo games, such as Mario Kart. This item actually shoots out projectiles, and in the hands of a skilled player these projectiles can do a lot of damage. Of course, most players know what this shoots out. But do you know what kind of projectiles it fires?
What Is The Correct Name For This Bomb Item?
This is another item that will be very familiar to Nintendo players all over the world, as it appears not only in Super Smash Bros. titles, but also countless other Nintendo games in general. Players know by instinct that when you see one of these, you need to get as far away as possible. It's pretty obvious that this is some kind of explosive device. But there's a special name for this item. Do you know what these things are actually called?
Name This Character
Here's another character that is a common face in the world of Nintendo, although some players might have some difficulty recognizing this character. She's another character well-known for her own series of games, although she isn't usually seen wearing this outfit. In most Smash Bros. games, this outfit is actually an entirely separate character, unlockable as you progress later on into the game. It's a popular choice for a lot of players. But do you know what this character is called?
Which Item Makes You Invincible?
One item in the Super Smash Bros. universe actually makes you invincible, and this can be a very useful item indeed. There can be some great moments when a person with a hammer comes up against someone who is invincible, and suddenly the tables are turned. But getting that invincibility is pretty rare, and you have to find one specific item if you want to get all shiny and indestructible. So do you actually know which item makes you invincible?
How Can You Make Your Jumps Better?
Jumping is hugely important in Smash Bros. games. If you choose a character who is bad at jumping, you'd better make sure that you're very good at everything else in your character's skill set, because it's crucial. Because the game is all about knocking each other off ledges and into the air, being able to "recover" is key. Some characters can jump long distances to be able to grab a ledge at the last second. But how can you improve your jumping?
What Happens When You Use A Pokéball And A Goldeen Comes Out?
One of the coolest additions to the Smash Bros. series is definitely Pokeballs. These are regular items, but they can transform into so much more when thrown. Just like in the Pokémon video games, when you throw a pokéball, a Pokémon will come out. When this happens, the Pokémon inside will do all kinds of different things, depending of course on the type of Pokémon inside. Some give you a huge tactical advantage. But what happens when a Goldeen comes out?
Peach’s Special Move Allows Her To Pluck Which Vegetable From The Ground?
Peach is another favorite for Smash Bros. players, and this character has a long history of appearing in various Nintendo games. For a long time, she was simply the 'damsel in distress,' unable to do much more than scream for help and wait for Mario to save her. But these days, she's a powerhouse on the battlefield, and has all kinds of tricks up her sleeve. There's one special move in which she pluck vegetables from the ground. But what kind of vegetable does she pluck?
Name This Character
Lately, Nintendo has been adding all kinds of crazy new character to the Smash Bros. lineup, and they've shown that they really know how to please their fans. Part of what makes Nintendo and Smash Bros so great is that they can identify which characters are popular, and by adding them to their games, they can raise the popularity of them. This character was very well-received by Smash Bros fans all around the world. But can you actually identify her?
When Wario Uses His Special Move, He Rides What Kind Of Vehicle?
Wario is definitely an all-time favorite when it comes to not only Smash Bros, but the entire Nintendo universe as well. Although he's often left out of the fun when it comes to Luigi and Mario's adventures, he's had his own moments in the spotlight, and they've been awesome. Wario has some pretty awesome moves up his sleeve as well, and you definitely shouldn't underestimate this one. His special move is especially dangerous. But do you know what kind of vehicle he rides?
Which Rare Hammer Is Even Better Than The Normal Hammer?
