Science Smash Bros.

=== DO NOT EDIT ===
"An educational battle game? Never before!" - Science Smash Bros.' tagline
Science Smash Bros. is a 2028 educational battle game released for the Nintendo Science Educational Console, developed by Basher Books and published by Nintendo. A spinoff of Nintendo's popular series, Super Smash Bros., it helps young kids learn about science themes, such as the Periodic Table and Climate Change. Every month after the original release of the game, and new pack of fighters comes out, under a different science theme, and each of the packs are free downloads.
== Gameplay ==
Science Smash Bros. plays very similarly to past games in the Super Smash Bros. series, as it is a fighting game for up to 8 players in which characters from Basher Books try to knock each other out of an arena. Unlike other fighting games, which often have a health system, by default Science Smash Bros. uses a percentage system. When players are damaged, their percentage goes up, increasing the distance in which they are launched. Getting launched off-screen results in a KO, and a point for whoever landed the final blow.
Unlike other fighting games, in Science Smash Bros. each character controls virtually the same. Players have access to Normal attacks and Special attacks, which change depending on if they are in the air, or the ground, and what direction they are holding the control stick. Alongside those, the player can also Jump and utilize platforms scattered around stages, Shield against attacks, Grab enemies and toss them around, utilize a wide variety of Items that spawn on stage, or unleash a powerful Final Smash if they have broken a Smash Ball or filled up their Final Smash Meter.

== Game Modes ==
=== Smash ===
The signature mode of the Super Smash Bros. series, up to eight players or CPUs can play against each other on a stage of their choosing. Before a match, players can select various rulesets, and even create and save their own for quick selections. Matches can have one of four modes:
* Time: In Time, the winner is determined by whoever gets the most points when the timer runs out. Players gain a point when they KO an opponent, but lose a point when they get KOed themselves.
* Stock: In Stock, the winner is determined by whoever is the last player standing. Each player has a limited number of lives, with players losing one every time they are KOed. If a player loses all of their lives, they are eliminated. Players can also add a time limit, in which case if the time runs out, the player with the most remaining stocks is the winner.
* Stamina: In Stamina, the winner is determined by whoever is the last player standing. Unlike other game modes, rather than a percentage meter, Stamina instead uses a health bar. Once the health bar reaches zero, that player is instantly KOed, losing a stock.
* Periodic Points: In Periodic Points, the winner is determined by whoever gets the most questions right when the timer runs out. Players gain points by answering questions correctly, and lose points by answering questions wrong.
=== Special Smash ===
Special Smash includes a variety of special game modes that change up Smash Bros. formula.
* Custom Smash: Play standard Smash with a variety of modifiers. Change everyone's size, their speed, their weight, give them wacky effects, or combine them all together for pure chaos!
* Smashdown: After every match, the previously chosen characters will be unselectable. Test your skills with multiple characters and see how long you can survive!
* Squad Strike: Assemble a team from 3 characters, and fight as a team! Replacing your taunts, you can switch between characters at any time. See which cool combinations of characters you can create!
* Super Sudden Death: Everyone is at 300% and the screen will zoom in as time goes on. Be prepared for tons of KOs!
