Well, this past week, I've been playing the Nintendo 64 with my roommates. One game we've been playing is the original Super Smash Brothers. When there's only me and one other person playing we do a team battle and always play against Fox and Luigi. They're our arch rivals. In my opinion, the gameplay is awesome. It's so much fun. I can play for hours. In fact, over the weekend, one of my roommates and I were up until 9 A.M. and most of the time was spent playing this and Mario party. That's how addicted we are.
I used to play as Kirby all the time since he was good for beginners. Now, I've tried out Link, Samus, and Yoshi and discovered that Yoshi is the love of my life. I'm just kidding. But, he rocks. I love butt slamming people and headbutting them. The past hour, I've been Yoshi. My roommate took a break, so I played by myself. I played against Fox, Luigi, and Link. I'm kind of scared of Samus which is why I never play her. Anyway, I put them all on level nine to see how well I could fare against them. I ended up doing really well. I came in first with a score of 14. I was shocked. But, I admit, some of those kills were from the very cheap weapon: the hammer. But still, for me, that's pretty good.

What aspects of the game make it so much fun to play?

I think just the variety of moves you can use against your opponents makes it fun as well as the variety of weapons. When someone gets a hammer, for instance, you know to get away from them. So, that can test how well you can dodge people or get away from them when necessary. Plus, just beating up your rivals is fun.
