How to play ‘super smash bros. melee’ online (with slippi)

With Slippi’s support for doubles, online Melee tournaments could soon include doubles brackets.

on May 3, 2021 at 9:44AM PDT

Get ready to see more Wombo Combos thanks to the latest update for Slippi, the online Super Smash Bros. Melee mod. Slippi version 2.3.0 has added support for a crucial part of Melee that has been missing since in-person tournaments ceased due to the Covid-19 pandemic: doubles.

Doubles in Slippi won’t work the same way as regular matches in the mod. Those looking to play doubles matches won’t be able to simply search for a game against two other players. Instead, all four players will have to connect to each other directly.

While this isn’t ideal for the everyday online Melee player, it makes a world of difference in the game’s competitive scene. Doubles Melee is a staple at any major tournament for the game. Likewise, the top doubles players are also often different from the top singles players. Basically, doubles is an entirely different kind of Melee, and it can now be played online as if all four players were sitting next to each other at the same setup.

It’s finally time. 2.3.0 is being release to the public.
✅ Teams (Direct, need 4 people)
✅ In-game chat options on CSS
✅ Direct code history + auto-complete
Additionally with this release, the focus for me switches to mostly ranked (assuming no bugs)

Along with doubles support, a couple of quality-of-life changes have also made their way into Slippi. The mod now supports quick chat, which lets players send a message by pressing any D-Pad button on their controller. Direct connect code history has also been added, giving players a list of the various player codes they’ve connected to. That way, players can spend less time putting in codes and more time zero-to-deathing their opponents.

This update affirms Slippi as one of the best ways to play Super Smash Bros. Melee online. The only reason competitive Melee has been running successfully through the pandemic is Slippi, thanks to its integration of rollback netcode, which simulates frame inputs from one player instead of waiting for them to be received by another player. If the input doesn’t match what the netcode predicted, it’s rolled back, hence the name.

The result is that competitive Melee tournaments have been able to continue throughout the past year. If you’d like to give Slippi a try, it can be downloaded from its Github page.

Slippi’s involvement in the Super Smash Bros. Melee competitive scene has garnered the attention of Nintendo in the past. The company has a record of halting Melee tournaments by issuing cease and desist orders. Nintendo recently issued one such order to The Big House, a major Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament. The event’s organizers said, “We were informed we do not have permission to host or broadcast the event, primarily due to the usage of Slippi.”

Slippi is a custom version of the Dolphin emulator suited for Super Smash Bros. Melee netplay. Here’s what sets it apart from other ways you can play Super Smash Bros. online, and how to play the Nintendo classic online on your PC.

What Is Netplay?

Netplay enables online play in emulators, but it isn’t quite the same as traditional online play in video games. Since the original console being emulated wasn’t made for online play (and netplay is a hack on top of it), what’s happening is the emulator’s “state” is constantly being synced between players.

While this is fine for some games, Super Smash Bros. Melee for Nintendo GameCube is still being played after all these years because of its vibrant competitive scene. This requires a great deal of reflex and precision. Dolphin’s Netplay solution simply wasn’t good enough for competitive players, but Slippi has changed that!

What Is Slippi, and How Does It Beat Regular Dolphin Netplay?

What Slippi adds to the equation is something called “rollback netcode.” This means Melee under Slippi now functions like a game that’s properly made for online play. The input lag is greatly reduced to the levels SSBM players are used to. Due to the world events of 2020, this was necessary to keep the scene alive.

The craziest thing about Slippi for the Smash Bros. community is, at this time, it’s actually the best way to play Smash Bros. online. Not even the official online play in Smash Bros. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch has rollback netcode!

What You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to set this up:

• An unmodified Super Smash Bros. Melee ISO file: To legally create one from an official game disc you own, check the “How to Get GameCube and Wii Games Legally” section in our Dolphin emulator guide. Place this ISO in the “Games” folder after we create it later in this guide.
• The Slippi app: Available as a free download for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
• A compatible XInput gamepad: This can be an Xbox controller, another gamepad with an XInput wrapper, or a proper GameCube controller.

Downloading Slippi

First, we’re going to make a few folders for this process. Start by pressing Windows+E to open File Explorer, and then click “Documents.”

In the “Documents” folder, create a new folder called something like “Dolphin and Slippi”; it doesn’t matter what you name it, but we recommend you make it something easily recognizable.

In this folder, create another for Melee or any other game files you might have; we’ve named ours “Games.”

Place your Melee ISO file in this folder and remember where it is—you’ll need it later to launch the game.

Now, visit Slippi’s download page and click “Download for Windows.” Place the downloaded ZIP file in the “Dolphin and Slippi” folder you created earlier.

Now, head to the folder in which you downloaded the ZIP file. Right-click and extract the ZIP file into the “Dolphin and Slippi” folder, and then open the “FM-Slippi-X.XX-Win” folder.

You can skip the folder organization step if you have 7-Zip by clicking “Extract Here” in its context menu.

From this folder, drag and drop the “FM-Slippi” folder into the “Dolphin and Slippi” folder for better organization.

Delete the “FM-Slippi-X.X.X-Win” folder, and then open the “FM-Slippi” folder.

Double-click “Dolphin.exe” to launch it.

When Dolphin launches, Melee will appear in your games list. If you already have a real GameCube controller with a regular Dolphin installation on the same machine, skip to the “Playing Slippi Netplay” section.

Otherwise, don’t launch the game yet; you’ll need to complete the steps in the next section first.

Setting Up Your Controller (Config Included)

If you want to use a proper GameCube controller for a vintage experience, here’s how to set one up.

If you’re using a standard XInput gamepad (Xbox controller or similar), you’re in luck! We’ve provided a preconfigured file for you to use instead of setting up the controller yourself. (Slippi is based on an older version of Dolphin in which it was more difficult to set up analog control.)

First, download and extract our Config file, which is called “xinput gamecube.ini.” Right-click it and select “Copy.” Then, navigate to the FM-Slippi folder and double-click “Sys.”

In the “Sys” folder, double-click “Config,” double-click “Profiles,” and then double-click “GCPad.”

The profiles that are already inside this folder are for the specialized B0XX controller. Right-click an empty space in the window, and then select “Paste” to paste our Xbox controller Config file in the folder.

Close File Explorer. The following are the button mappings in the Config file (you can change them in the Controller Settings if you want, just don’t touch the analog settings):

• GameCube A = Xbox A
• GameCube B = Xbox X
• GameCube X = Xbox B
• GameCube Y = Xbox Y
• GameCube L = Xbox LT
• GameCube R = Xbox RT
• GameCube Z = Xbox RB
• GameCube Start = Xbox Menu button
• GameCube Left Analog = Xbox Left Analog
• GameCube C-Stick = Xbox Right Analog
• GameCube D-Pad = Xbox D-Pad

Once you’ve placed the Config file in the “Config” folder, you’re ready to start playing! Launch Dolphin now, and then open the “Controllers” panel.

Now, open the “Port 1” drop-down, select “Standard Controller,” and then, click “Configure.”

This opens a “Controller Configuration” window. Fortunately, you don’t have to do much work here; just click the drop-down on the far right and select the “Xinput Gamecube” profile.

Click “Load” to the immediate right of the drop-down to load the profile, and then select the “Background Input” checkbox near the bottom right. Click “Close” and you’re all set!

Playing Slippi Netplay

Once you’ve set up your controller and file structure, it’s time to get playing! Open Dolphin, click “Melee,” and then click “Play.”

From here, Slippi walks you through the rest of the process!

After you follow the instructions, you’ll be ready to play Slippi online against randoms in matchmaking, or friends in direct fights, as long as you have their code.

UPDATE (July 14): Mac and Linux builds are now officially supported as of Slippi version 2.2.0. Grab the compiled version from there if you don’t feel like compiling.

For a game that’s nearly 20 years old, Super Smash Bros. Melee for the GameCube has still been a staple in the fighting game community. To this day some prefer Melee‘s more sophisticated mechanics over the other games in the Smash Bros. series; namely, L-canceling, wavedashing, being able to hog the ledge to prevent other recovering players from grabbing it, and other more complex additions. Brawl was too slow for some and introduced new mechanics that threw many veterans off. And even though Ultimate picked up the pace in terms of speed, the overall design of the game is to appeal to casual gamers; gamers who are new to the fighting genre. Fan-made mods like Project M and Project Plus have given players the itch that they wanted for Melee‘s mechanics, but as far as I know there’s no easy way to play online with other players.

Since the GameCube obviously lacked the modern features of online gaming, tournaments often had to take place in-person, locally. Well, thanks to the advents of Slippi, it’s now possible to play against other players online, without even needing to host a server. And I have to say so far, my online experience has been great, even on Wi-Fi.

Slippi uses rollback netcode instead of delay-based netcode that a lot of fighting games tend to use. Instead of me having to explain it, I’ll let the article on Ars Technica explain what rollback netcode does:

When there is no information from the remote player, delay-based netcode needs to pause and wait…Rollback’s main strength is that it never waits for missing input from the opponent. Instead, rollback netcode continues to run the game normally. All inputs from the local player are processed immediately, as if it was offline. Then, when input from the remote player comes in a few frames later, rollback fixes its mistakes by correcting the past. It does this in such a clever way that the local player may not even notice a large percentage of network instability, and they can play through any remaining instances with confidence that their inputs are always handled consistently.

Basically, there’s virtually no delay between the time you press a button on your controller and the character on-screen reacts accordingly. As a result, rollback netcode massively improves the quality of the Internet connection to your opponent. The reason why other fighting games don’t use this type of netcode, is because it is far more difficult to implement than delay-based.

The highest ping I’ve had so far during gameplay is around 90 (ms), and even then, it’s pretty smooth. Occasionally there will be some lag, which is probably due to me using Wi-Fi. Sometimes the game might even crash. But this is much better; it’s something that a billion-dollar company like Nintendo doesn’t even understand.

Matches are limited to one-on-one. All characters unlocked. 4 stock, 8 minutes, no items. A random level is selected after your opponent has been found. Music is disabled since it apparently breaks the netcode.

Head on over to the Slippi website to get started. You will need:

• Your PC (obviously)
• Gamepad of your choice. I don’t personally use a GameCube controller, so I don’t know what your success rate will be using a controller adapter
• A copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee. The Slippi website mentions you need version 1.02 specifically; your connection to your opponent may break otherwise
• A modified version of the Dolphin emulator called Ishiiruka, which contains the netcode for Slippi

Even though Linux is not officially supported (yet), you can download and compile the source code to Ishiiruka with project Slippi support. First, install the dependencies needed to compile Dolphin. Now clone the source for Ishiiruka, then follow the steps to compile. You might want to grab yourself a cup of coffee while it’s compiling; it’ll probably take a good half-hour or so.

You’ll be able to launch Slippi afterwards, but you will need a few Gecko codes — basically cheat codes designed for Gecko OS — to get Melee set up right. This probably isn’t the best solution, but a workaround that I found was I downloaded the Windows version of Slippi. Then I copied the “Sys” folder to

/Ishiiruka/Data and then copied the code files from “User/GameSettings/” to

/.local/share/dolphin-emu/GameSettings/ . (Quotes are the files from the Windows version, the code is the Linux file path.) Something like that anyway; I can’t exactly remember where I pasted the files.

After you’ve copied the codes over, add a file path in Ishiiruka to your Melee ISO, then right-click it -> Properties -> Gecko Codes. Check the first three codes to enable them: General Codes, Slippi Recording, and Slippi Online:

There’s a few other codes here that you can enable if you desire, such as disabling screen-shaking and allowing your character to flash red if they miss an L-cancel. You may also want to increase the in-game resolution by going to Graphics -> Enhancements -> Interal Resolution. Now you can follow the rest of the guide on the Slippi website to create an account for yourself and then start playing online.

The way multiplayer works here, is you can play against anyone in an unranked match. Select your character, press Start, and the game will attempt to find an opponent. Alternatively, if you know your opponent’s connect code, you can play against a specific player with Direct mode. Select a character, press Start, and then enter your opponent’s connect code. As an example, my connect code is COW#938.

Here’s a demonstration of Slippi on Linux in action:

Another awesome feature of Slippi is the ability to save and watch replays. By default, these replays are automatically stored in

/Slippi/ as .slp files and take around 5 MB of space each. You can then use the desktop app to watch these replay files. You can even view advanced stats of each replay; not just who the players were and what stage they fought, but also what your damage % was at certain points and what move you used to KO your opponent. However, in order to play replays, you will need to compile Slippi-FM-installer and configure the desktop app to use the playback directory in the “Playback Dolphin Path” setting.

I have to say, this is incredible. I’ve never been able to play Melee online before. Don’t get me wrong, I love Ultimate, but as a semi-competitive player and someone who has played Melee since childhood, I find Melee to be a lot more interesting. The community on the Slippi Discord, last time I counted, was 4,550. Who knows how big the community in general is, but just going by the numbers on Discord Melee is still very popular. The game will never die.

Big thanks to Fizzi and the rest of the crew who has made this possible.

This step is technically optional if you dont want to play anything but smash

Dolphin is an open-source Nintendo GameCube and Wii Emulator.

How to install
Simply just click here [dolphin-emu.org] and go through the setup installer. (This will take about 5 mins)

Click Here To Download The Multiplayer Client [github.com]
MAKE SURE YOU GET THE SETUP.EXE THE VERSION DOES NOT MATTER IT WILL GET UPDATED OVER TIME

After Installing Launch The Program

I will be only teaching control setup for Xbox controller and Keyboard.
Looking for GameCube setup? Scroll down for a video guide on how to setup the GC adapter

IF IT ASK YOU TO RETRIEVE A LOGIN CODE CLICK ON THE GREEN BUTTON THEN CLICK COPY TO CLIPBOARD AND THEN PASTE IT

Open the SmashLadder Launcher Click the Download Button on all the versions except for the ones that say “Set Path”. On the right side click “ADD ROM PATH” and select your ROMS folder.

Now that you have your game setup launch faster melee (the one on the top), click on options then go to controller settings go to port 1 of GameCube controller make sure its set to standard, click configure for Xbox controller select
“xinput” and for keyboard leave it on “keyboard and mouse” after that its pretty simple click on it then bind.

Below is a GameCube Controller Layout so you know what’s what. Close out of that and now you have your dolphin and controller setup.

If you don’t see smash melee click on the white text in that empty box and add your ROM folder and you should see your smash melee pop up after restarting dolphin.

To join matches go to the matchmaking tab hover over the name oh the match either under “Friendlies” or “Ranked” Then Click the Challenge Button.
Someone in your lobby will give you a code depending on what version of the game click the “Join” Button on the launcher then paste the code in there and if you want to host click the host button on the launcher and give them the code.

Congrats you now can relive or make new memories in Super Smash Bros: Melee

Capturing replays during friendlies or on a tournament setup has never been easier thanks to Jas Laferriere‘s Project Slippi! Getting this setup is incredibly easy. If you’re already running Melee on your Wii, the only thing you’ll need is a Slippi build of Nintendont, a copy of Vanilla Melee and a USB drive (a second drive, if you’re running the ISO from one to begin with.) After that, you can pop the replay files into your Slippi Desktop App and wham bam, you’re ready to review some replays!

For all of those wondering, this special build of Nintendont includes an option to enable UCF 0.73, Arduino support and many of the tournament oriented optimizations you’re probably used to on 20XX/TE. Of course, vanilla Melee is supported if you’re a purist.

For this tutorial, I’m only going to be showing you how to store your replays on a USB but it’s worth noting that you can also send them directly to your computer over a network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Just a head up, however — the Wii doesn’t play nicely with 802.11-N so if you’re going to capture your games wirelessly, make sure you’re running A,B or G bands for your Wi-Fi first.

To get started, you’re going to need…
– the latest Nintendont-Slippi build (download here)
– an SD card (atleast 2GB)
– a USB drive formatted to FAT32 (a different one if you run Melee through this already)
– a Wii with homebrew installed
– a disc or ISO of SSBM 1.02 NTSC

First thing you want to do is download the latest Nintendont-Slippi build, available from the link above. Extract the contents of that .zip and place them directly onto your SD card. The result should look a little something like this. ‘Nintendont Slippi’ is the only folder you’ll need need, however ‘slippi-wiiconf’ is useful for changing the time and nickname of your console and ‘nintendont-slippi-forwarder’ lets you forward to Nintendont-Slippi from Priiloader without having to reconfigure boot options every time a new build is released.

*Note: You don’t need a dedicated SD to run Slippi and you can have multiple versions of Nintendont on the same SD as well.

Next, if you’re running an ISO of Melee, be sure to rename it ‘game.iso’ without the apostrophes and place it in SD card like so. [root] > games > SSBM 1.02 > game.iso. That’s it for the computer side of things. Now let’s eject the SD card, pop it into our Wii and load up the Homebrew channel!

No matter what you’re used to booting into, you’re going to have to chose the version of Nintendont that has the lil Slippi face on it. This will be your dedicated launched for Melee when ever you’re looking to collect replays. Load this up now.

Select the file location and pull up the Settings menu for your copy of vanilla Melee. Before we mess around with code injection, let’s go ahead and enable replays. On the column to the right, set ‘Slippi File Write’ to ‘Yes’ and press X to update. Now, take your USB replay storage drive and plug it into one of the slots on the back of your Wii. As far as replays go, you now have everything setup to record your matches using Slippi!

If you’re like most of us, however, you’re going to want to enable some custom code to improve competitive gameplay. Controller Fix is where you can enable UCF or Arduino settings, PAL lets you practice for AWAKENING 5, Tournament Mods incorporate neutral spawns and hidden player tags during invisibility and Frozen Pokemon Stadium lets you play Melee like it’s 2021. When viewing your replays on the Desktop App, all of these enabled codes will automatically be applied.

… and there you go! All the tools you need to start recording your friendlies. As far as watching your replays goes, all you’ll need is the Slippi Destop App (download here) and an ISO of vanilla melee on your HDD. More on that and how to turn these replays into VODs coming soon.

Fan-built Slippi is an impressive add-on to Dolphin that adds rollback netcode.

Audio player loading…

Super Smash Bros. Melee didn’t ship with online features—it released in 2001 exclusively for the GameCube. The Dolphin emulator (opens in new tab) changed that, allowing players to compete online in what is still considered the best competitive Smash game.

Those online features are now greatly improved thanks to the development of Slippi (opens in new tab) , a fan-made plug-in for Dolphin. It has an impressive features list, but most important is the implementation of rollback netcode, which is considered basically mandatory for competitive online fighters due to its efficiency at eliminating lag and input delay.

On the Switch, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate doesn’t have rollback netcode, which now makes it far less viable for online competitive play compared to its much older (emulated) GameCube sibling. Some studios, like Mortal Kombat 11’s NetherRealm, have retrofitted rollback netcode into already shipped games due to its superiority.

The netcode, especially, is a godsend for a competitive community forced to stay at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But Slippi offers a bunch of other cool stuff as well: It has online matchmaking for “quickly finding nearby opponents,” it generates a wealth of gameplay statistics, and it automatically saves replays.

Smash pro Leffen outlines the benefits of Slippi in the video embedded below, and if you’re wanting to install it yourself, there’s also a tutorial here (opens in new tab) .

Despite coming out on a Nintendo platform near the turn of the century, Super Smash Bros. Melee is still a favorite among the hardcore fans of the series. The GameCube didn’t have much in terms of online capability, so Melee’s online multiplayer was less than great. But now a group of modders has given the game the online powers it always deserved.

It’s called Slippi, an add-on module for the popular Dolphin GameCube and Wii emulator, which is available for many operating systems. The setup includes rollback netcode, a high-performance software backbone necessary to make online matches of the super-quick Melee fights palatable to the most discerning fighting game fans. It even includes some basic matchmaking, prioritized by location for the fastest connection, and player tracking and replays are supported.

Actually using Slippi to remote play Melee with your friends is legally questionable, because it relies on emulation. (The general consensus is that, for the sake of your conscience if not the law, you should own a copy of the original game if you’re going to emulate it on your computer.) But it’s a great way for fans to play a beloved classic together, as Nintendo doesn’t seem interested in bringing many GameCube games to the Switch, and recent Smash Bros. games’ online multiplayer has been rudimentary at best.

Be aware that if you want to try Slippi, you’ll probably be thrown into the deep end of the Melee competitive scene. The current players are likely to be those who’ve been honing their skills for two decades.

GameSpot Trivia: Super Smash Bros.

Test your Super Smash Bros. knowledge by yourself or against a friend!

After almost 19 years after its release, Super Smash Bros. Melee’s long lifespan was threatened like never before. Without support from Nintendo and unable to hold any tournaments for the GameCube game due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it looked dire for the passionate community. Then, there was a major breakthrough. Super Smash Bros. Melee can now be played online.

Project Slippi is a small team of passionate people, supported by an open-source community, developed a Netplay system that allows anyone with the right equipment and their software to play a GameCube game online against other competitors. This opens up a realm of new possibilities. But will it be good enough to support an esport in which every frame matters?

Melee has achieved what Ultimate could not

To achieve competitive integrity in any esport, it is essential to reduce outside factors to truly measure the players’ skill. Any kind of lag, especially in a fighting game, can change a match completely. Nintendo still struggles with this in Smash Ultimate. The competitive community has been complaining about certain characters dominating the meta due to the limitations of online play. Meanwhile, Project Slippi is one step ahead. They have a technology called Rollback.

With Rollback, the game can fix its own past frame by frame. If an input arrives a few frames later than it was actually sent, the Rollback technology goes back in time. Then, the game continues as normal. These changes happen so fast that they are rarely noticeable.

This allows any game, supported by good hardware and decent internet, to be played almost as if it was played in person. The Melee community did not take long to utilize the gift they received.

Super Smash Bros. Champions League

Over the last weeks, the organizers of the annual Beyond the Summit tournament have hosted the “Slippi Champions League”. Divided into two divisions, some of Melee´s top players were finally able to compete again. The winners of division two had a chance to rise into division one in a relegation match against the losers of division one. On the other side of the bracket, the winners of division one compete for a small amount of prize money.

Since the small tournament has no Loser’s Bracket, one match will result in elimination. Nonetheless, the Slippi Champions League proved that the best players are able to showcase their skills online as well. In the first week, Joseph “Mango” Marquez, one of Melee´s still active legends, was able to beat Zain “Zain” Naghmi in an intense three-one set. However, in the following two weeks, Mango missed the Grand Final. Without having to compete against one of his strongest rivals, Zain, who rose in Melee’s ranking only within the last four years, was easily able to win Week 2 and 3.

The Summit Returns

This weekend, Slippi Champions League will enter week four. On top of the price money, the players are also competing for something more. Beyond the Summit announced that they will host the tournament online this year. The players who are able to remain in the top 16 spots qualify for Smash Summit 10 and their position in the league will determine their seed in the tournament.

The tournament will take place November 19 until November 22 with a prize pool of over 10,000 dollars. This will be the first official Melee Major in the pandemic. Super Smash Bros. Melee has once again found a way to survive – even in the darkest of times.

Posted 3 Aug 2020 by Squid

Before you ask, no. This doesn’t have anything to do with Smash Bros Remix. This is a completely different mod for a completely different system. Super Smash Bros Melee 64 is a mod of SSB Melee on the Gamecube that makes the whole game look and feel more like it was released five years earlier on the Nintendo 64.

The mod can be obtained here and you can visit the developer’s website here.

To apply the patch, take your SSBM ISO file, and rapply the patch using the xDelta patcher.

What’s ‘new’ in Super Smash Bros. Melee 64?

Super Smash Bros. Melee 64 is sort of a ‘demake’ of itself if that makes any sense. It modifies the Melee game to be more retro, in the style of the Nintendo 64.

Characters

All the characters from SSBM are still there, plus a few new ones that are clones of other characters:

• Daisy
• Black Falcon
• Ninten
• Dark Link
• Original Link
• Sigurd
• Leif

The SSBM characters even get their n64-style avatars:

Stages

There are also new stages that are all also low-poly versions of other stages, plus some new ones.

• Princess Peach’s Castle (Super Mario 64)
• Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Bros.)
• Vista Hill (Super Mario RPG)
• Jungle Hijinx (Donkey Kong Country)
• Donkey Kong Arcade (Donkey Kong)
• Hyrule Temple (Zelda II: The Adventure of Link)
• Tal Tal Mountain (The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening)
• Shadow Temple (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)
• Crateria (Super Metroid)
• Lower Norfair (Super Metroid)
• Treasure Hunt (Yoshi’s Story)
• Spring Breeze (Kirby Super Star)
• Fountain of Dreams (Kirby’s Adventure)
• Area 6 (Star Fox 64)
• Pokémon Stadium (Pokémon Stadium)
• Pokémon Pinball (Pokémon Pinball)
• Onett (Earthbound)
• Mute City (F-Zero X)
• Ice Top (Ice Climber)
• River Thracia (Fire Emblem: Thracia 776)
• Fighting Course (Mach Rider)
• Underworld (Kid Icarus)
• City Highway (Joy Mech Fight)
• Fairy World (Panel de Pon)
• Megalopolis (Sim City)
• The Town Whose Name Was Stolen (Satellaview BS-X)
• Dolphin Park (Wave Race 64)
• Contra Dam (GoldenEye 007)
• Randnet (Nintendo 64DD)

Here are a few of my favourites:

• Underworld
• Thracia River
• Tal Tal Mountain
• Randnet

Gameplay

The gameplay in Super Smash Bros. Melee 64 has two modes: Classic and Hybrid. Classic is the same as what you’d normally find in SSBM and Hybrid is a modified version based off of Hybrid 64, which changes SSBM’s gameplay to better reflect SSB’s intricacies.

I don’t really play any version of SSB competitively so I’m not really going to take advantage of things like Z-cancelling or stick hopping too often but it’s there if that’s your thing.

Conclusion

The mod is pretty cool, it’s good to see that even the GC modding community appreciates the Nintendo 64’s style. It is a little bit weird to see those low-poly characters moving as fast as they do melee-stlye though.

I’m not really into Gamecube modding, but I would definitely recommend that anyone who is to take a look at this. It looks like a whole lot of fun.
