I’m addicted to this great fighting game. Your favorite characters from Nintendo are here, only to fight each other, with their crazy and exclusive abilities and combos on the table. With 26 (with 11 to be unlocked) characters to choose, this game gonna make your day.The music is a great aspect in the game.
You have most of Nintendo’s great soundtrack. Like the SMB ground and SMB underground mix in the castle area, and the original SMB ground ported from the NES in Mushroom Kingdom I, SMB2 music in Mushroom Kingdom II, and the Great Bay from Legend of Zelda. The sound effects are well done, you can hear voices of most of your characters, and also every move in the game has its sound effect. Moves from the prequel had their sounds redone for Melee.
The graphics are being the coolest on the GameCube, more excellent than it’s prequel in graphics. It looks more like a mix of cartoonish and real graphics, and the 3D look is great enough to make the game look excellent. Well, no single thing in the graphics looks bad.
And you will ask me “what about the gameplay?” I say it’s the best part of the game besides the music. It’s really the best part in the game. Fighting is a bit different from others. You play in a 2D area like other fighting games, but you have to make your enemy’s damage percentage (which is 0% on start) go higher up by hitting your enemy with the different moves and combos, then at the right percentage, you must knock back your enemy using a powerful move (smash hit). With 26 of your favorite Nintendo characters, including Mario, Link, Samus, Pikachu, Fox and Kirby, and also characters added into this installment of the Smash Bros titles, like Bowser, Falco, and Zelda, you have plenty of characters to challenge, and plenty of characters to play with. Everyone’s combos and moves are different from others, leaving you to try to explore a character’s powers and exploit that character’s weakness points.

Its multiplayer is also another reason for its success. It’s the best game in 4P action. And truly it is. You can play the Melee mode, which is a standard fight for 1-4 human players, with different modes dedicated for it like time, stock, coins. And there is the special melee mode, which makes a fight a bit unusual and more different from a standard melee. One of the special Melee modes is the giant Melee, which will make every character in the field giant. Then here’s the stamina mode, where health (150hp) is used and you have one chance to beat all players on field before you lose your health and become tame. There is also the tournament mode, which is another reason why this game is successful. Gaming tournaments also used Melee’s tournament mode, to the point that some people won high profit out of these tournaments.
And the game’s not limited to fighting, as you have goals to complete, in order to unlock everything in the game, from characters to stages, to trophies that holds information for the player. These goals include doing bizarre tasks, and beating teams of CPUs. Trophies are won by picking them up in 1P classic mode, or by doing a lottery (costs coins), and sometimes for achieving a goal. Some trophies unlock hidden stuff, so try to grab any trophy you see in the game.
A crazy fighting game, high end music and graphics, loads of Nintendo characters to pick, learn and play them, great gameplay and the greatest multiplayer mode in a fighting game, this is one of the greatest fighting games ever made for the GameCube.
