If you see this game around Immediatly purchase it on the spot. this game can provide hours and hours of multiplayer fun. (1 player is boring but better than playing multiplayer by lonesome) there a alot of unlockable characters that are pretty cool here tehy are: Captain Falcon from F-zero series, Ness from the rare Earthbound series, Jigglypuff from pokemon, Luigi from the Mario Bros. series, And if you have a gameshark there are cool codes the allow you to be the boss of the Smash Bros. titles, (Master Hand) and you could also be Metal Mario with a Gameshark. cool huh? have fun and train. This isn't one of those titles you can just rent and enjoy you gotta own it for it to be fun.
