Upon playing it for the second time, I didn't really realize anything different, since the whole concept of this game is beat your opponents. As far as things I like, and things I can change about this game, I think the best part of this game is that you can jump while you're still in the mid-air to avoid getting out of the boundaries. Something I could change about this game would be to add more characters, and give each character more special moves to spice up the game a little more. There's a lot of action in this game, and it can also get really intense, depending on the skill level of your opponents. This is basically a game of emergence, because there's no telling how the player will act or respond to your moves. This game is all about strategy, and how you apply your moves. This game also falls closely to Clark C Abt's definition of a game, which is "an activity between two or more independent decision makers seeking to achieve their objectives in some limiting context."

I played this Super Smash Brothers for the first time a couple days ago with a couple friends that lived down the hall from me. Essentially, what I like about this game, compared to others, is that you can be damaged over 100% and still not die. The whole point of this game is to knock the other players out of the boundaries. Once you get knocked off, you lose a life, and you only get 9 lives. I didn't know there were character-specific type moves that you could do, so I used Yoshi the whole time. Yoshi doesn't really do anything special, except eat up other characters and turn them into eggs, and also throw explosive eggs. The rules and gameplay are also pretty basic. It's to basically kill all your opponents, and the winner is the last man standing. There are a couple affordances in the game, such as barrels and crates that contain weapons you can use to afflict more damage to the opponents. There's no implicit rules to this game as well. The whole point is to destroy all the other players in any way you can. Bad sportsmanship is a key factor.

I'm mainly frustrated with this game, because I still can't get past that long jump in the second level. I've spent an additional hour trying to figure out ways to make this jump, but no matter what, everything fails. I've unlocked all the secret boxes and went through all the tunnels, but I still can't pass it. I have officially decided to give up this game and play something else.

Essentially, I think all aspects of this game are good. I wish I can get more into it, but I probably won't get that far into it on the computer version. As for changes, I'd take out some of those hidden invisible boxes that keep forcing me to die. Also, I'd probably make the jump at the end of the second level a little shorter. I'm not sure if Yoshi can be used in this game, since I haven't gotten that far yet, but I'd also love to use Yoshi, like in the other Mario series.

Something that I found to be very annoying about the game is that no matter how many times I try, there's no way that I can get passed the second level. There are many things about this game that I enjoy a lot, but no matter how many different techniques I try at the end of the second level, I can never get passed that long jump that you're supposed to make.
The game play about this game is great, though it takes a lot of getting used to when you're controlling Mario. I found it very hard to control him when he's jumping. I think the graphic designs in this game are the best, because they keep it plain and simple. The design of this game and level structures are great as well, because they keep it basic, yet still challenging at the same time. I'd like this game more if I could only get passed the second level.
