Super Smash Bros. is a crossover fighting game combining characters from ten Nintendo franchises into a smash party filled with hammers, tornadoes, explosions, Pokémon, Home-Run Bats, and an overenthusiastic announcer. The results were...well, the creativity and fun should speak for themselves.

Unused Stages

Two unused stages which are strikingly similar to Dream Land, using its music and background, that were likely used for testing.

(Source: Cendamos)

Small

Not a bad stage, but those ledges are very annoying.

800A4D09 0009

Contains three platforms whose ledges can be grabbed that float in a pyramid pattern above the main platform, which is not solid when interacted with from below. In the background stands a tree, two yellow cylindrical structures from the Kirby series, and patches of flowers; all three of these objects are otherwise unused. All textures present minus the background and the upper, left, and right parts of the floating wooden platforms are also unused. Players 3 and 2 spawn on the left and right platform respectively and Players 4 and 1 spawn on the ground below them respectively. The floating platform that appears after a KO may spawn at the ground, in the middle of the main platform, below the left platform, or below the right platform, slightly above the ground. Items never appear on this stage. Appropriately called "Small" in the battle debug menu.

New

Bizarre platforms, ahoy!

800A4D09 000A

Features five wooden platforms, the smallest of which moves diagonally downward-left and upward-right, and two which move to the left and right above another platform; a textureless, irregularly-shaped platform; and an invisible platform above the stage. Only the main platform and the one above the middle of the stage are not solid when interacted with from below. It contains the same unused objects and textures as "Small", and one of the patches of flowers moves to the left and right. Player 3 spawns on the floating platform in front of the tree, Player 1 spawns below it, Player 2 spawns at the right of Player 1, and Player 4 spawns between the moving wooden platforms. Like "Small", the floating platform that appears after a KO spawns at the ground, in the middle of the main platform. Called "New" in the battle debug menu.

Unused Graphics

Menu Graphics

Early Menu Background

Located with the menu graphics is what would likely have been used as a menu background earlier in development.

SSB EarlyBG.png

Option

Cacti speak Japanese.
...But what does it mean?
This game has text or audio that needs to be translated. If you are fluent with this language, please read our translation guidelines and then submit a translation!

Graphics for a “Flashing” option exists and would have been placed between “Sound” and "Screen Adjust” in the Option menu. It may have toggled certain particles and effects on and off. It comes with graphics for a warning message that would have popped up if the option was being toggled. Weirdly, the japanese text after the previous one is translated to "Background flushing!". The other text also oddly translates to, "Photophobia, etc. If you are sensitive to light stabs, please turn off this switch and enjoy." It is speculated that this is a warning for those with seizures.

Item Switch

There are two unused Japanese translations for items that don't appear in the game. They translate back into English as "Parasol" and "Chewing Bomb" respectively, the former later appearing only in the game’s sequel, and the latter eventually appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and onwards, localized as "Gooey Bomb".

SSB ItemSwitchParasol.png
SSB ItemSwitchChewingBomb.png

Backup Clear

The Backup Clear menu graphics contain an unused option called “Subject Mode”. It is not known what this mode was and what data could have been cleared.

SSB SubjectMode.png
SSB SubjectModeJP.png

Index

Separately stored graphics remain for an early version of the Data menu, titled "Index". Only the icon remains identical to the final, and all text seemingly identical to the final is very slightly different instead. The menu would not have looked very different except for "Screen Adjust" being a fourth option, before later being appropriately moved to the Option menu. "Sound" and "Test" are separate words here, and "Sound" has a separate Japanese translation alongside the "Sound Test" translation. Also, the translation for "Screen Adjust" is different from the final by having two fewer characters in the text.

Character Select Screen

A cross graphic.

SSB CSSCross.png

An early version of the ? image that would display over characters not yet unlocked, completely obscuring the portrait and being shown in different colors. This can be seen in prerelease screenshots.

Unused text graphics indicating how many human and CPU players are present in VS Mode. Some of these are visible in a prerelease screenshot, displayed in the position of the BACK button.

1P Mode

1P Game

There is a fourth bonus stage title for the splash screen that translates to "Challenging Match".

SSB 1PChallengingMatch.png

A letter "X", grouped with the stage numbers on the splash screen. There could have been a stage referred to as "Stage X", but none of them do this in the final game.

SSB 1PStageX.png

This unused graphic translates to “Clear Bonus”.

SSB 1PClearBonusJP.png

Additionally, there are seven clear bonuses that go unused. They only have amounts of points in the original version; in all international versions they are set to 0. They also were never translated from Japanese.

Training Mode

A graphic for the Star item that would display on the HUD in Training Mode. Due to it being the only spawnable item that cannot be picked up, this never appears.

SSB StarHUD.png

Results Screen

An image of some triangles.

SSB ResultsTriangles.png

There is a full A-Z alphabet for the letters used to say which character or team won (and when finishing a bonus stage, entering sudden death, and more.) "J" would not have been used in the original version but would eventually be because of "Jigglypuff", while "Q" and "Z" are never used in any version of the game.

SSB ResultsQ.png SSB ResultsZ.png

Unused Costumes

SSB PokemonCostumes.png

Pikachu

An unused variation of Pikachu's "green team" costume, which cannot be accessed even via the battle debug menu. This costume features a more vibrant shade of green on Pikachu's skin. However, the "costume" is clearly incomplete, and only maps this green color to certain parts of Pikachu's body, while other parts of its body remain identical to its default costume.

Jigglypuff

Jigglypuff has two unused costumes, again inaccessible via the battle debug menu. Both of them are variations on its "green team" skin, which additionally change Jigglypuff's skin color to a pale blue or a pale yellow color respectively. The latter of these costumes, similarly to Pikachu's unused skin above, doesn't apply the yellow color to all of Jigglypuff's body, instead being merged partially with Jigglypuff's default costume in several parts of the model. The yellow costume also has no stock icon accompanying it if accessed in-game.

Giant Donkey Kong

Hey, do not disturb! They are in the middle of a prayer right now.

Using the battle debug menu reveals that Giant Donkey Kong has four unused alternate costumes that are identical to Donkey Kong's. Since Giant Donkey Kong is a separate character from Donkey Kong, it is a little unusual to see this, though they are likely just a result of the developers copying his data.

Unused Stock Icons

Unused stock icons exist corresponding to yellow-themed costumes for Pikachu & Jigglypuff, presumably yellow variations of their party hat & bow accessories. These can interestingly be seen if one accesses the unused 5th costumes for Pikachu & Jigglypuff mentioned above through external devices, despite neither costume resembling the stock icons at all.

SSB PikachuYellowStock.png SSB JigglypuffYellowStock.png

Off Camera Bedroom Items

The bedroom seen in the intro and in the ending scene after completing 1P Game has several set pieces the player can never see in-game due to the fixed camera. Among these are a door that isn't touching the ground, a pole holding up the window curtains, and a bed. Part of the bed can be seen in the intro, but most of it is hidden off camera.

SSBHiddenDoorIntro.png SSB64WindowIntro.png SSB64BedIntro.png

Hitbox Display

Without hitboxes With hitboxes
Handling these things correctly is probably more important than anything else in a fighting game. Is this a parody of Abbey Road's cover?

The GameShark codes below will display physical hitboxes for the characters. The characters become yellow cubes, showing the areas they can be hit by attacks, and when attacks are used, red and white cubes appear showing the area they hit if in contact with someone's hitbox. Sprites such as shields and Ness' PSI Magnet will still appear. Interestingly, there are several images on the Japanese Super Smash Bros. website that show these in use.

Version GameShark code
USA 810F2C04 2400
Japan 810F0824 2400
Europe 810FB854 2400
Australia 810F3414 2400
iQue 810F3764 2400

Hitboxes are not only shown during a match, but are also shown in the intro, character biographies in the Characters option in the Data menu, battle debug menu, "How to Play" video, and in the character selection screen; this will cause it to be glitched, however, as the characters appear in the center of the screen, and selecting more than one character will cause them to overlap each other. Projectiles' hitboxes will be absent, though using the code below will have them appear.

Version GameShark code
USA 81167578 2400
Japan 81164FD8 2400
Europe 811701B8 2400
Australia 81167D88 2400
iQue 811676D8 2400

There are also various colors for different hitbox functions:

Color Classification Function
Red Hitbox Attacks, grabs.
Yellow Hurtbox Vulnerable.
Green Hurtbox Invincible (can get hit but takes no damage).
Blue Hurtbox Intangible (can't get hit).

Regular items do not show hitboxes (including Link's Bomb), though projectiles used by Pokémon that emerge from the Poké Ball (including Beedrill) and those that emerge from the door in the Silph Co. building in Saffron City do, as well as the lasers from the Arwings in Sector Z.

Unused Player Spawn Locations

Mushroom Kingdom

SSB MKIntro.png

This stage contains an unused location for when a character appears on the stage during the game's intro sequence. If the stage appeared in the intro, the character would be placed next to the right scale platform.

Careful, you'll lose an eye.
This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

Stages not available in VS Mode have unused 1P-4P spawn locations that would be exclusively used in VS Mode. These stages can only be played through the battle debug menu or GameShark codes.

Yoshi's Island

The VS Mode version of this stage has unused player/opponent spawn locations, placed in positions slightly different to the used ones. This is the same case with the 1P Game variant, also having 1P to 4P spawn locations in slightly different positions.

Meta Crystal

The size of this stage makes Metal Mario's fight easy. Now imagine a battle with four players here...

The stage where Metal Mario is fought contains unused VS Mode spawn locations, none of which are in the same positions as the two used in 1P Game, which suggests that it may have originally been playable in VS Mode. No one spawns on the floating platform like Metal Mario does, and P2's location is slightly to the left of where the player normally spawns in 1P Mode.

"Race to the Finish" Stage

1P Game with four players?!

The Race to the Finish bonus stage contains unused VS Mode spawn locations. 1P's spawn location is the same as the player used in 1P Game, with the rest being placed alongside 1P.

Duel Zone

The stage where you fight the Fighting Polygon Team contains unused VS Mode spawn locations, though they are placed in the same positions as the opponents, in a different order however, as 2P's location is the same as the second computer player and 3P's is the same as the first.

Final Destination

Final Destination...on the love train.

The stage where Master Hand is fought contains unused VS Mode spawn locations. 1P and 2P are placed in the same positions as the player's and Master Hand's. Oddly, 3P and 4P spawn right in front of and face 1P and 2P.

Break the Targets/Board the Platforms

All 24 bonus stages include multiple VS Mode spawn locations for four players each, with 1P's being the same as the regular spawn location in each one.

Unused Stage Coordinates

Some stages have different blast zone and camera boundary coordinates for VS Mode and 1P Game. Most stages intended for one mode only use the same coordinates for both modes, but some differing coordinates exist for stages that don't normally get to use both modes.

(Unused coordinates are in bold.)

Stage Blast Zone -X Blast Zone X Blast Zone -Y Blast Zone Y Camera Bound -X Camera Bound X Camera Bound -Y Camera Bound Y
Duel Zone (VS Mode) -9000 9000 -4200 9000 -4000 4000 -2000 3000
Duel Zone (1P Game) -7500 7500 -3800 8000 -2800 2800 -1000 3000

Yoshi's Island (1P ver.) (VS Mode) -7000 7000 -4000 8000 -5500 5500 -2000 4100
Yoshi's Island (1P ver.) (1P Game) -5500 5500 -4000 7500 -2500 2500 -1000 3500

Unused Camera Angles

There are various unused camera angles in the data that can be re-enabled using GameShark codes. To activate the angles, you must pause and unpause while in a match.

Angle 1

801314B7 0004

This angle brings the camera to roughly the center of the stage and makes it face the player when unpausing. If a player slams on the ground or falls off the stage, the camera will glitch out and look straight up until the player pauses again.

When used on a bonus stage, it will simply leave the camera locked in a full view of the stage. When used while fighting Master Hand, the camera will reset if he uses a move that sends him to the background. Pausing and unpausing will cause the camera to lock into a full view of the stage every time until Master Hand goes into the background again.

Angle 2

801314B7 0006

This angle changes the camera into a semi-bird's eye view, moving the camera up slightly and having it look down. The camera will attempt to keep every player in view at all times, meaning that it will zoom out far wider than normal.

Like angle 1, the camera will reset if Master Hand moves to the background. If it's reactivated while he's still in the background, however, it will somewhat follow his movements. This is most noticeable with his rocket move.

Unused Animations

All Fighting Polygon Team members, Giant Donkey Kong, and Metal Mario can enter the Warp Pipe in Mushroom Kingdom, but they can't normally do that since they never appear in this stage. Hence, they have unused animations for entering it, and exiting horizontally and vertically that are identical to those of the respective characters they are a "clone" of.

Unused Death

Each character has a death animation that is functional but completely unused. It could have been originally used for players getting eaten by Piranha Plants in Mushroom Kingdom or perhaps for at one point sinking into Planet Zebes' lava, but it's still unknown what it was supposed to be used for at this time.

Helpless State

Jigglypuff, Kirby and Yoshi are the only characters in the game whose up special moves do not put them in a helpless state until landing. Despite this, animations still exist for them and remain unused.

Unused Audio

Hmmm...
To do:
  • There are more unused sounds in the system debug menu. Find and add them.
  • Check whether the sounds in this page are unused.

Victory Fanfare

A short fanfare. It can be played in the system debug menu as BGM no. 11.

Final Smash Concepts

According to the game's director, Masahiro Sakurai, Final Smashes were intended to have been included since this game, but this idea never ended up happening. Final Smashes were later introduced in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Sounds are the only remaining leftovers, and a few of them are used unaltered in Brawl, albeit with audio filters applied in real-time. All of these can be played in the system debug menu, although certain clips are exclusive to the Japanese version.

Character Sound(s) FGM(s) Description
Kirby
391
392
Kirby making a grunt and yelling, separated in two sounds. Similar voice clips would appear in the fourth installment, Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U for his Final Smash, Ultra Sword, which originated in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. However, it is unknown what his Final Smash would have been in this game.
Fox
366 "Ike!", a Japanese term usually translated as either "come on" or "let's go."
Pikachu
545
546
"Pika..." and hoarsely "chuuuuu!" separated in two sounds. These were re-recorded in Brawl for its Final Smash, Volt Tackle, though these sound clips probably weren't intended for that particular move; while Volt Tackle originated in the game Pulseman, it didn't appear in Pokémon until Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, released nearly four years after Super Smash Bros..
Captain Falcon
343 "Come on!" It was re-recorded for Melee but kept as an unused sound, then used in Brawl as a part of his Final Smash and a taunt.
332 Only present in the Japanese version, removed in the localized versions for unknown reasons, "Blue Falcon!" It was re-recorded for Melee, who also kept this as an unused sound, and finally used in Brawl as a part of his Final Smash. It may also have been intended for his animation of entering the stage, when he exits the Blue Falcon. This remained undiscovered for 17 years.
Ness
454
455
"PK" and "Starstorm!" separated in two sounds. The idea of Ness using PK Starstorm and similar takes to these unused sounds would later appear in Brawl as his Final Smash.

Miscellaneous

Some sounds that would have added a little diversity to the game, but are unfortunately unused.

Character Sound Effect(s) FGM(s) Description
Mario
437 Mario's trademark "let's-a go!" Would have possibly been used in an after-match victory animation. The sound is recycled from Super Mario 64, where most of Mario's voice clips were recycled from.
Donkey Kong
333 Donkey Kong making a grunt very similar to his KO sound effect. Present in the Sound Test as Voice no. 18.
Link
400 Link exhaling his breath in a similar manner to his shouts when attacking. Unlike most of his sounds, this one is not from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Samus
581
A metallic friction sound of ambiguous description. This sound still exists in Melee.
Yoshi
597 Yoshi shouting.
600 "Yoshi!" Would eventually return in the other games of the series.
Fox
367 Fox shouting a strange grunt that is notably much lower-pitched than his other sounds. Present in the Sound Test as Voice no. 72.
Luigi
428 A higher-pitched duplicate of Mario shouting "here we go!" Present in the Sound Test as Voice no. 104.
425 "Let's-a go!" Also a higher-pitched duplicate leftover of Mario's unused audio documented above. It returned, slightly altered, in Melee in one of his after-match victory animations.
Captain Falcon
339
342
Captain Falcon yelling and making grunts, as usual. FGM no. 339 was re-recorded for Melee. Present in the Sound Test as Voice no. 107 and 110 respectively.
Ness
446 Ness grunting loudly. Present in the Sound Test as Voice no. 127.
Jigglypuff
566
567
568
Two sounds of Jigglypuff crying "Jiggly!" and one of it making a grunt. They returned in future games, with FGM no. 566 being used for Jigglypuff's Final Smash as of Brawl. Present in the Sound Test as Voice no. 145, 146 and 147. Despite being unused, they have Japanese counterparts... that are also unused.

Not only do playable characters have unused voices, but the announcer does too.

Speech Sound Effect FGM Notes
"Bonus stage"
198 May have been used before each bonus stage was given a specific name. Regardless, its existence in the game at all implies that there was either only one type of Bonus Stage or a lack of specific voice clips. Present in the Sound Test as Voice no. 198.
"Are you ready?"
509 This clip was likely also planned for the bonus stages, and would've replaced the typical "3, 2, 1" countdown in its stead. The bonus stages don't have any sort of pre-emptor in the final game, and the announcer just shouts "go!" to signify when a player can start. In Melee, Brawl, and Smash 4, he says "ready?" to precede these occasions.
"Final stage"
525 The announcer doesn't say anything before the battle with Master Hand, and never announces what stage the player currently is in 1P Game.
"Draw game"
484 May have been an early name for Sudden Death, or such a thing might not have existed.
"Jigglypuff!"
451 Present in the Japanese version, where it is always referred to its name in that region, Purin. It sounds very similar to the announcement used in international versions, only slightly higher-pitched, and it shows the developers were fully aware of the possibility of the game being localized.

A few random sound effects are also rendered unused throughout the whole game.

Sound Effect FGM Notes
16 A lower-pitched duplicate of the sound heard when a shield breaks.
161 Similar to the music that plays in the continue screen, but shorter, quieter, and repeats twice.
515 - 524 This is repeated nine times in the list with subtle differences.
669 A rather weird sound which has an immense similarity to the sound used in Yoshi's Egg Lay but with a reverb, played at a much lower pitch and with some effects applied to it.
670 A similar case to the sound above but in reverse.
671 A sound very similar to the one heard when a player touches a Poison Mushroom in Melee.

Unused Screen Transitions

Falling Shapes Vertical Flip
Falling shapes without much flair.
Vertical flip ending a bit too soon?

There are 2 unused screen transitions that occur after VS matches end before showing the results screen (like the paper airplane). They can both be restored and work in game. One looks like shapes falling while the other is a vertical flip.

Crash Debugger

SSB64-crash1.pngSSB64-crash2.pngSSB64-crash3.png

This game has a crash debugger. To open it, crash the game in some way, then enter this button code:

  • Z + R + L
  • D-Up + C-Up
  • A + D-Left
  • B + D-Right
  • D-Down + C-Down

The crash debugger consists of three pages, press Z + R + L to scroll through them. The first page displays the type of crash and the registers, the second page displays a stack trace and the third page displays different contents depending on the type of crash.

The same crash debugger can also be found in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards and Pokémon Snap, both of which were also developed by HAL.

Oddities

Hmmm...
To do:
Find out if Kirby's up air has a missing hitbox that was carried over to his neutral air in Melee.

Developer Oversights

There are two hitboxes for Samus and Luigi that never spawn in-game due to developer oversights involving frame timers. Luigi's dash attack has a final hit that is intended to spawn on his head, but never does due to the wrong type of frame timer being used. Samus' up air also has a final hit that does slightly more damage and hitstun, but doesn't spawn due to a complete lack of a frame timer altogether.

Unused GFX Animations

Jigglypuff's Sing GFX

US: 8010212B 002E, J: 800FFD4B 002E

Jigglypuff's Sing GFX appear to have originally been animated to be in sync with the SFX. The game still computes the scale changes being animated, but the render routine used ignores the scale values in the published version of the game. The GameShark codes listed here set the render routine to one that obeys the scale values.

See: https://twitter.com/i/status/1512778137637167114

Yoshi's Island Clouds

US: 80108AFB 001C, J: 8010670B 001C

The clouds on Yoshi's Island appear to have originally been animated, giving them much more life to match the rest of the stage's aesthetics. The game still computes the scale changes being animated, but the render routine used ignores the scale values in the published version of the game. The GameShark codes listed here set the render routine to one that obeys the scale values.
