Note on Jumping

All characters can double jump by pressing or  twice or  twice. After that, the + attack usually works as a third jump.

Basic Gameplay
There are a few basic gameplay mechanics to understand in SSBM. They apply to all gametypes.

Movement
Theres not much to say about movement exept that speed is dependant on stick tilt. Which means, the more you tilt the control stick, the faster you go.

Jumping
Every character can jump twice just by pressing, , or  twice in a row. You can hold or  to affect direction. All characters exept Yoshi also have a 3rd jump thats in the form of the + attack.

Edge recovery
If you are close enough to a sharp edge on a stage while falling or jumping, you will automatically grab it. You can then press up, x, or y to jump up, A to climb up and attack, or down to fall. Only one character can hang from an edge at a time so a good strategy if an enemy is going to try and grab the edge, try to grab it first and they will fall.

Attacking
Attacks are all executed with the a and b buttons plug directions. Specific attacks are covered in the Character section.

Sheilds
Any attack can be blocked with a sheild which is used by pressing R or L. The sheild weakens with multiple attacks. It also weakens if you just leave it out. When it breaks, you will be stunned for a few seconds, which leaves you at a disadvantage. When you put the sheild away, it will slowly recharge to full potential.

When you press L or R down lightly you will notice that a very large shield pops up for a fraction of a second. this sheild reflects ranged attacks and counters normal attacks. when an attack is countered you can attack them before they recover. So by pressing L or R the instant their attack hits can reflect it or counter it.

Rolls and Dodging
If you hold down L or R and then press right or left while on the ground, then you will roll. While rolling, you are invincible to attacks and once you stop rolling your shield stays up. But, there is a small gap after you stop rolling and the sheild comes back on so you can be attacked then.

Dodging is preformed by press R or L and smash the direction down. You will then preform a little sidestep. It will dodge all attacks and doesn't use your sheild but there is a recovery time and you have to time it right. Air dodging is preformed in the air by pressing R and a direction. You fly in the direction for a bit and flash. It has the same effect as ground dodging. However, after dodging, you can no longer jump, so don't dodge off the stage. You can also air dodge from the gruond by pressing L/R + Up.

Grabbing/Throwing
Grabbing/Throwing is the only type of attack that sheilds can't block. You grab someone by pressing L/R +A or just Z. Once you grab them, you will hold them for about 2 seconds. The time gets shorter if the opponent moves the control a lot. You can punch them while holding them by pressing A. To throw them, Press Z again plus a direction. you will then throw them in that direction. If you use the down throw, they will bounce back up. The higher their damage, the farther you will throw them.

Special Note on Samus, Link, and young link: These characters have a grappling hook/beam so they can grab opponents from afar. However, if you miss, they have a longer recovery time. Link can smack opponents with his hook by pressing Z in the air. All three of the characters can grab the stage by pressing Z in midair. You can press Z again to recieve a small boost jump up.

Special Note on Donkey Kong: Normally you can't move while grabbing someone. Donkey can carry someone on his back and move around before throwing someone.

Zelda/Sheik
Zelda likes to be kidnapped and be rescued by Link.

Games:
 * Most of the games Link's been in.

B Button Special Attacks: (As Zelda)
 * B Button: Nayru's Love
 * Zelda conjures a spinning field of jagged ice crystals to slice any adjacent enemies. This move can be performed in the air and on the ground. It hits repeatedly and has nearly no knockback.
 * This attack is useful for area denial, when Zelda is directly adjacent to one or more opponents. Use it to get Zelda out of trouble when she's in the fray.
 * B+Left/Right: Din's Fire
 * Zelda forms a glowing ball that accelerates away from her, disappears for a short instant, and explodes in a small fireball. The player can control the motion of the ball along the vertical axis, but its horizontal motion is strictly linear acceleration. The player must hold the B button until the ball reaches a desired position, at which point it explodes after a slight delay. It lights the opponent on fire, has a small radius of effect, and causes minimal knockback.
 * Use this attack to annoy unsuspecting foes at range. This requires a degree of anticipation, as the player must stop the ball about one and a half body widths in front of a moving opponent.
 * B+Up: Farore's Wind
 * Can be used as a third jump to return to the stage.
 * The player can control Zelda's destination by pressing a direction while the animation executes.
 * This maneuver does not affect Zelda's fall trajectory when performed in the air, and removes the player's air control ability while the animation completes. Zelda also cannot teleport through solid objects. However, Zelda can often teleport completely across some playfields with this maneuver when the path is clear.
 * After teleporting, the player loses all control of Zelda except for her falling trajectory. Thus, she is completely vulnerable after telporting and falling.
 * The attack does no damage.
 * B+Down: Transform
 * Transform into Sheik

B Button Special Attacks: (As Sheik)
 * B Button: Needle Storm
 * B+Left/Right: Chain

Venom
Like corneria execpt from the front view. There are four main wings arranged in an X around the body that act as sloping platforms that you can drop through. arwings still come along the side of the ship somtimes(?)



Corneria
Fight on the ship from the Starfox games. A large course with two main sections. Arwings swoop down sometimes and shoot horizontally. They also can act as temporary platforms. Some other Arwings drop bombs on the stage. Every once in a while the big ship's main lasers charge and fire on the left side of the stage.

The largest stage in the game. There is a basement and two areas on the top. on the left side of the stage, theres a platform by the spawn area and to the far left, an exit from the basement. On the right side, some ruins make 3 stacked platforms and a smaller platform nearer the center. At the bottom, there is a smaller platform off to the right side. This course has no hazards.
