Super Smashing Differences Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jigglypuff

There are only four unlockable characters in the original "Super Smash Bros.", but there is more than triple the amount of unlockable characters in the sequel. To get Jigglypuff in both games, you simply need to beat the one player mode without losing all of your lives. None of the unlockable characters in "Super Smash Bros. Melee" (excluding Jigglypuff and Luigi) were in the previous game.

Although Jigglypuff is often referred to as a weak character (which is further proven by the fact that she's so easy to unlock), some of her moves, like Rest, are best used in event matches; especially the final event.

Answer: Crazy Hand

Crazy Hand is an odd character. Although you normally just fight Master Hand during Classic 1-P Mode of "Super Smash Bros. Melee" (or 1-P Mode of "Super Smash Bros."), Crazy Hand may also make an appearance if you are at a high enough difficulty. Crazy Hand has a few different moves, but a few can also be used in conjunction with Master Hand. Both of these appendages appeared in the Game Boy Advance game "Kirby and the Amazing Mirror" as bosses. Both characters can also be played against in the penultimate Event Match of "Super Smash Bros. Melee".

Answer: Eight

The eight starting characters are Donkey Kong, Mario, Fox, Kirby, Link, Pikachu, Samus, and Yoshi. All of these characters are also available when you first begin "Super Smash Bros. Melee". Two secret characters in the first game become original characters in the sequel (Ness and Captain Falcon), and Bowser, Princess Peach, Zelda, and Ice Climbers were added to the default gang.

Answer: No

The Sandbag is only found in "Super Smash Bros. Melee" and it's used to unlock a new stage. The best way to complete the task is by using Yoshi's flutter kick to raise the percentage of the Sandbag's health to over 100%. Then, pick up the Home Run Bat and knock it out of the park. To get the stage, you need a distance of at least 1,350 ft. You can also get the Sandbag Trophy at a shorter distance.

Answer: PK Flash

Ness is one of the only characters in the game to have an attack change. In "Super Smash Bros.", the PK Fire attack was assigned to the B button, PK Tunder was assigned to Up-B, and PK Shield was the Down-B attack. In "Super Smash Bros. Melee", PK Fire was movce to Left-B and Right-B while PK Flash took its old position as the basic B attack.

When you use this move, it will arc over Ness' head and burst. If you hold the B button, it will go a bit lower, but it'll become more powerful.

Answer: Pokémon Stadium

Pokémon Stadium is not an unlockable stage, and it was never in "Super Smash Bros. (N64)". The other three choices (Kongo Jungle, Dream Land, and Yoshi's Island) are the only unlockable Past Stages in the game. In the original "Super Smash Bros.", the only Pokémon-based level was Saffron City, but in "Super Smash Bros. Melee", you can play in Pokémon Stadium, or the unlockable Poké Floats level. To unlock this stage, you need to play two hundred multiplayer matches.

Answer: Hyrule Castle

Hyrule Castle is only found in "Super Smash Bros. (N64)". In "Super Smash Bros. Melee", the "Legend of Zelda"-themed levels are Hyrule Temple and Great Bay. Princess Peach's Castle is basically the same in both games although Brinstar was known as Planet Zebes in the first "Super Smash Bros.".

In "Super Smash Bros. Melee", Brinstar returns as well as a "Metroid" stage called Brinstar Depths, which can be unlocked after playing fifty full multiplayer matches. Corneria is from the "Star Fox" series, and it was called Sector Z in the original "Super Smash Bros.".

The second "Star Fox" level in "Super Smash Bros. Melee" is Venom.

Answer: Bumper

The Bumper is the only object that never returned in the second "Super Smash Bros." game, but all is not lost! This object was replaced by the Flipper. Sure, it only does 1% of damage, but it's a good obstacle for any player. Many items were added to "Super Smash Bros. Melee" including the Freezie, Barrel Cannon, Warp Star, Parasol, and more.

Answer: Onix

Many random Pokémon in "Super Smash Bros." were switched around quite a bit. Many never returned for a second game such as Onix, Meowth, Beedrill, Koffing, Hitmonlee, and Starmie, but some returned. In "Super Smash Bros. Melee", there are twenty-nine different Pokémon that can randomly appear when you throw a Pokéball.

These can range from the literally useless Goldeen, to the three legendary birds. Of course, you don't need Pokéballs to see some Pokémon; you could always play as Pikachu, Pichu, Mewtwo, or Jigglypuff.

Answer: Yes

"Race To The Finish" was in both "Super Smash Bros." and "Super Smash Bros. Melee" although they weren't the same in both games. In "Super Smash Bros.", "Race To The Finish" contained fighting polygons. In "Super Smash Bros. Melee", "Race To The Finish" was just one long obstacle course with many paths and many doors. You could go through a door at any time, but the further you went, the more points you'd earn. You could also find trophies on the course.
