Line #7 Trivia/SuperSmashBros64


1	----
2	* {{Blooper}}: In the original advertisement when Mario kicks Yoshi, his shoe gets knocked off flying and in the next scene, both of them are on the ground as the characters are fighting.
3	* GodNeverSaidThat: [[https://www.ssbwiki.com/List_of_rumors#Scrapped_characters_rumor A rumor that has persistently stuck around for decades]] states that Peach, Wario, Pit, and Meowth were planned for inclusion in ''Smash 64''. However, outside of Bowser, Mewtwo, Dedede, and Marth, no such official source exists that states these characters were planned for inclusion.
4	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The only way to acquire official copies of the game is through second-hand N64 cartridges, as the Wii Shop Channel closed down in 2019 and the game hasn't seen a rerelease through the Nintendo eShop or Nintendo Switch Online since then.
5	* LateExportForYou: This game released in China in 2005, six years after the rest of the world.
6	* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: For the PAL region, this was Ness's debut due to ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'' not being released in those countries until 2013 on the Wii U's Virtual Console.
7	* NoBudget: It's sometimes hard to notice, but the game began as mere side project for Sakurai to work on during weekends, and only made into a full game when Hal Labs needed a game to fill its release schedule. Nobody, not even Nintendo, was expecting it to fare as well as it did. The sequels have proper budgets to go with their status as a major Nintendo franchise.
8	* TheOtherDarrin: For Japan only. This is the first game where Charles Martinet is voicing Luigi rather than Julien Bardakoff.
9	* RoleReprise:
10	** Creator/CharlesMartinet, Creator/NobuyukiHiyama, Kazumi Totaka and Shinobu Satouchi all reprise their roles as [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario and Luigi]], [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Link]], [[VideoGame/YoshisStory Yoshi]], and [[VideoGame/StarFox64 Fox]], respectively.
11	*** Martinet, Hiyama and Totaka do so via repurposed voice clips from their respective games, specifically ''Super Mario 64'', ''Ocarina of Time'' and ''Yoshi's Story''. Curiously, Martinet's voice for Luigi is simply Mario's voice from ''Super Mario 64'' being digitally altered to sound higher-pitched, which would carry over to ''Melee''.
12	** Creator/IkueOtani reprises her role as [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] from the ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokémon anime]]''.
13	** Creator/RachaelLillis and Creator/MikaKanai reprise their roles as Jigglypuff from the ''Pokémon'' anime as well. Notably, this makes Jigglypuff the only character out of the original 12 to have different voice actresses depending on the language.
14	* SleeperHit: The original ''Super Smash Bros.'' started as a side project by Masahiro Sakurai that Creator/SatoruIwata allowed him to do on the weekends at HAL Laboratory. Eventually Iwata became more interested in this "King of the Hill"-like fighter, and the company asked Nintendo if they could use some of their characters. Nintendo relented but remained iffy on the entire thing, keeping the budget on the game incredibly small and planning on a Japan-only release. Despite little promotion, the game took off in Japan and was brought to the United States and Europe later that year, becoming a KillerApp for the Platform/Nintendo64.
15	* StarMakingRole: Creator/MakikoOhmoto as Franchise/{{Kirby}} and [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Ness]]. Ohmoto would go on to reprise the former in his home series starting with [[VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards Kirby 64]], though ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'' would further prove her worth as the little puffball.
16	* UrExample: [[CommonKnowledge Contrary to popular belief]], the original ''Super Smash Bros'' wasn't the first PlatformFighter game. That title goes to an obscure game released back in 1994 by Namco (now known as Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment) called ''VideoGame/TheOutfoxies'', though the aforementioned game and the ''SSB'' games have a lot of differing quirks. [[HilariousInHindsight Funnily enough]], Namco Bandai ended up being contracted by Nintendo to develop the [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU fourth]] and [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate fifth]] installments.
17	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/SuperSmashBros Has its own page along with the rest of the series]].
