History VideoGame / SuperSmashBros

* GenreBusting: There's still some debate over whether it should be classified as a "true" FightingGame on par with StreetFighter or MortalKombat, or a multiplayer-party game with FightingGame elements. What you call it generally aligns with which side of the StopHavingFunGuys argument you fall on, whether you've played ''PowerStone'', and to what extent you hated ''ShaqFu''.

* HomeRunHitter: A major point in the series, because it is one of four to kill someone, the others being self-destruction, [[CriticalExistenceFailure stamina mode]], and making it impossible for the opponent to recover.

* EndlessGame: The endless Melee/Brawl modes.
** In fact, they end when you're KO'd for good. If you want a ''true'' endless battle, you have to make a time battle on Versus mode and set the time limit to ''infinite''. It will never end unless you use the reset command in the pause screen.
*** For more fun when you unlock the extra rules you can turn off the pause function, making turning off your system (or resetting it)the only way out of the game.

* AniamlThemedSuperbeing: Captain Falcon.

** But, to be fair, it does allow you to create interesting situations that would be impossible otherwise. Such as a fight in only a spike pit, or a level made entirely of thin through platforms. It's possible that they made it so that real appeal would be making levels only for their practicality, rather than aesthetics.
