Super Smash Bros Intro 64
Jalisa Landgren
The opening movie starts, panning from the HAL Laboratory vanity card into a bedroom, where Master Hand flies about picking up toy versions of a random starter character, which he places over a dresser, whereupon a lamp shines on it like a spotlight. Master Hand, then, goes about rearranging various other objects to make it look like a stage while dropping another toy character upon it. Master Hand then takes to the center of the screen, counts down from three to one and snaps his fingers. The desk morphs into a full stage, and the camera zooms into the first character picked, which comes to life and strikes a pose. After quick flashes of the starting characters, scenes of each character performing a quick move in their home stages are shown, followed by a full scene of all eight of them running together. The opening then cuts to show each character again:
After these scenes, the scene cuts to Mario and Kirby facing off against a dark, thunderous backdrop. They jump and cross-counter each other with aerial attacks, followed by the other six starter characters doing the same: Link vs. Pikachu, Fox vs. Samus and Donkey Kong vs. Yoshi, followed by a white splash in which the four unlockable characters are rapidly shown (or their silhouettes, if they have not yet been unlocked). Finally, the title screen appears as the announcer shouts the game's name followed by the Crowd cheering.
The movie starts with a view of all the characters (except for Zero Suit Samus and Sheik) gazing at an "X" in the sky that was formerly the Isle of the Ancients. This also appears as the last scene in the SSE. This is followed by scenes of Mario, Link, Kirby, Pit, Zelda, Peach, Meta Knight, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Fox, and King Dedede. Then, a scene of Sheik in a VS match is shown, followed by Pikachu using its down special on Bowser, Samus, and Lucas, followed by a VS match shot of Ike and a SSE shot of Zero Suit Samus and her Power Suit. After this comes SSE cutscenes of Wario, Olimar and his Red Pikmin, Yoshi, the Ice Climbers, Ness and Lucas, Pokmon Trainer, Lucas, and Bowser. The next series of clips shows Sonic, Snake, Wario, Lucas, the Ice Climbers, King Dedede, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Peach, Meta Knight in VS matches. This is followed by SSE cutscenes of Mario, Pit, Yoshi, Link, and Kirby, an Arwing flying towards the Halberd, Kirby and Zelda, The Great Maze being assembled, Charizard, Pokmon Trainer, and Lucas, as well as VS clips of Olimar and his Pikmin, Ivysaur attacking Pikachu with Pokmon Trainer in the background, Zero Suit Samus, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Mario picking up a Super Mushroom, Kirby, Fox, and Zelda brawling. The movie continues with SSE shots of Samus and Pikachu, Zelda, Diddy Kong, Ike, Squirtle and Pokmon Trainer, Marth and Meta Knight preparing to battle a Subspace Army, an Arwing flying towards the Halberd, Fox piloting, Kirby and Peach riding on a Warp Star, Bowser and his minions, Mario and Link dodging lasers fired by the Ancient Minister, Pit, Samus and Pikachu, Marth, Ike, and Meta Knight, and shots of the Halberd. The movie ends with the title screen being shown.
There is no opening movie for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, though in its place there is a character lineup that orders the roster in a similar fashion to the fighter numbers used in the next game, ordering the first-party starting characters, third-party characters, unlockable characters, clones, and DLC characters in their respective orders. There is a full opening movie in the Wii U version. It consists of footage from both gameplay and character introduction trailers shown prior to the game's reveal, barring Duck Hunt's.
It begins with a black background, with two slices forming a fiery Smash logo. The intro starts with a portion of Shulk's reveal trailer with Link and Marth, followed by Mega Man's trailer, Shulk's again with a shot of Bowser, a shot of Rosalina & Luma's trailer with Kirby, several shots from the first trailer of Super Smash Bros. 4, a screen of Greninja in his reveal trailer, Samus's shot from the first trailer, Charizard flying around in Greninja's trailer, Wii Fit Trainer in their trailer, Bowser Jr. driving in his Koopa Car in his trailer, and a shot of Lucina fighting Captain Falcon in Robin's trailer, finishing it off with Mario in Greninja's trailer, as the Super Smash Bros. logo appears.
Gameplay footage soon follows, with a fight between Donkey Kong, Samus, Mario, and Link. Donkey Kong uses his side special while a Bob-omb blows up behind him, followed by Fox brawling with Yoshi, Luigi avoiding Ganondorf's neutral special attack by taunting, Pikachu landing on the ground, Mario using his side special on Samus, Link charging up his bow before firing, Ness using his side special on Diddy Kong and his side smash against Toon Link, with the latter later taunting his side taunt, Kirby standing up to find a Luma and Samus taunting in Orbital Gate Assault. We then get trailer footage intercutting with gameplay of the following newcomers: Villager, Greninja, Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, Palutena, Shulk, Rosalina & Luma, Robin, and Bowser Jr. The next following shots include Sheik taunting, Pit using his neutral special, Ike hitting Little Mac, Olimar and Alph using their up special with three different Pikmin, Zero Suit Samus entering, King Dedede taunting behind Meta Knight, Marth using his counter against Link, Ganondorf using his side special on Pit, Diddy Kong's on-screen appearance, Bowser using his down throw on a Villager, Zelda removing her Phantom, Charizard landing, Peach taunting, Captain Falcon activating his side-special on Fox, and Lucario doing a recovery. After this, we're given the final smashes of Jigglypuff, Pit, a Mii Gunner, Donkey Kong, Bowser Jr., Fox, Robin, Ganondorf, Shulk, Lucario, Wii Fit Trainer, Greninja, Peach, Zero Suit Samus, Little Mac, Luigi, Captain Falcon, and ending it off with Mario and Charizard.
We are later given the following shots for the third-party characters, which include Pac-Man, Sonic, and Mega Man. It ends with more shots of the character trailers and gameplay footage, followed by scrolling through various colored panels with character art before concluding with the game's title logo.
The music that plays during the opening is Lifelight performed by Abby Trott in English and Erina Koga in Japanese, albeit missing the seventh through eleventh verses, most of the ending instrumental, and replacing the instrumental after the sixth verse with one from the tenth verse.
It starts with the shot of Kirby staring at the aftermath of Galeem's attack in the World of Light cinematic, then transitioning to in-gameplay individual shots of Mario, Link, Samus, and Kirby. The next shot is a group shot of male Robin, Marth and Lucina attacking; which is followed by individual shots of Mega Man and the Inkling girl to then cut to a cinematic shot on a cliff with most of the game's cast as the game's logo appears, then after showing Galeem and his army of Master Hands.
Fox is shown standing on Final Destination. Pit is seen using the Power of Flight, followed by a brief glimpse at the trees of Reset Bomb Forest. A sole shot of Meta Knight is shown, followed by one of Luigi trying to make a distracted Wario fall through one of Yoshi's Island Turning Blocks. Wolf and Falco are shown fighting, transitioning to R.O.B. and the Villager staring at a gyro. The default Mii Gunner is shown using Flame Pillar to help Mr. Game & Watch cook, followed by Duck Hunt flying away from another fire, with more brief shots from the World of Light opening cutscene.
Lastly, Pikachu is seen landing on Battlefield and sees the stage transitioning into others, ending off on the variant of Final Destination encountered at the start of The Final Battle's boss fights. The screen then cuts to a brief glance of Galeem and his engulfing of the universe into the light as the game's title screen appears as they play the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate title screen sound effect theme at the title screen.
The video, seen above, comes from the Redditor TeamTrustfall who shared it to the Smash Films YouTube channel. Those who watched The Legend of Korra will recognize every scene from the opening cinematic as well as the voice over, only this time, everyone's been replaced with characters from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Lucario, Richter, Sheik, and Zelda took the parts of the four main elemental benders found in the Avatar universe with different Super Smash Bros. Ultimate stages and characters filling out the rest of the roles in the intro.
TeamTrustfall's initial entry into the mashup series was released just under a week before The Legend of Korra's video made its debut. The player recreated Avatar: The Last Airbender's intro in the same way that this latest video was made with no mods used and only the in-game camera mode and some video editing used to create both cinematics.
I know Korra's intro is not as iconic as The Last Airbender, but this is a follow-up 'Thank you' to all to the overwhelming support my last video got from the smash and avatar communities/fans!" the creator said about their new video. "I'm moving on to other series next so consider checking yt."
