Super Mario Melee

Super Mario Melee is a game similar to the Super Smash Bros. games, but only features Mario characters. Super Mario Melee is a WiiWare title for 1500 Wii Points, and was developed and published by LYON Games. The range of attacks has been cut down to three, similar to that of Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64. The game consists of 20 playable characters, 12 of which are unlockable.
==Gameplay==
The game plays like a Super Smash Bros. game - you have to accumulate damage onto your opponent, causing them to weaken, and eventually KOing them. Each player has three attacks, plus a final smash. Attack 2 is often used as a recovery move. Swimming/drowning is adapted from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, with water featured in certain courses.

==Modes==
===VS. Mode===
VS. Mode is the standard mode for Super Mario Melee. 1-4 players can join a match, which can be free-for-all or team play. The amount of players in a match can be from 2 to 4. CPUs have 4 different levels of difficulty - Easy, Normal, Hard, or Extreme. VS. Mode can also be played online.
====Time Match====
Time Match is one of two styles of matches in VS. Mode. In Time Match, the players compete to get the most KOs throughout a set amount of time. If there is a tie after time runs out, an untimed stock match is played - whoever is KOed first loses.
====Stock Match====
Stock Match is the other style of match. In Stock Match, players have a set amount of lives. When one player is left standing, the match ends and that player wins.
===1P Mode===
Commonly recognized as Classic mode from Super Smash Bros. Melee, Brawl, and Ultimate Fight, Super Mario Melee takes the title from the original Super Smash Bros. - 1P Mode. In 1P Mode, 10 stages are played through. 8 of them are random fighters (if no players have been unlocked, the human player will fight a pallet swap of themselves in one of the matches), 1 is a bonus stage (Board the Platforms, also from Super Smash Bros.), and 1 is the boss, Giga Bowser (from Super Smash Bros. Melee). Giga Bowser is a clone of Bowser, with much more powerful attacks. The player can choose from one of the four difficulty levels, and has 3 lives to complete all 10 levels.
===All-Star Mode===
The player must fight all of the characters, only unlocked after all fighters have been. The player can choose difficulty, but only has one life to complete all 20 stages. Damage accumulates over fights, and can be healed by the three Golden Mushrooms in the rest area.
===Tournament===
This mode is self-explanatory - its a tournament. The amount of contenders can be 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 32. Unlike VS. Mode, more than four people can play, as all matches aren't at the same time. Battles can be stock or time matches.
==Demo==
A demo for the game was released. The game only featured the 7 default stages, the stages World 1-1, Subcon, and Vanilla Dome. Only VS. Mode (Stock match only) is available for playing.
