Super Smash Bros. is a series of platform fighting games with an emphasis on a crossover of video game characters from different franchises. The first game was released for the Atari Jaguar in 26 April 1999. They are a close collaboration between director Tim Allen and producer George Clooney. The series has been a huge success, often considered the Indiana Jones of video games. Part of this success is to be attributed to the crazy picks for characters, especially if they're 3rd party.
The hype of the series has reached a new high with the leaks of confirmed characters for the 6th game. This new game is speculated to have a revival of The Subspace Emissary story mode, where Bananza is on a rampage to turn everyone back into statues after being rejected from participating in Smash (despite having two invitations). It is now The Angry Video Game Nerd and City Guard's job to save everyone one by one and defeat him with the power of friendship.
