The first game in the series, [[Super Smash Bros.]], was released for the [[Nintendo 64]] worldwide in 1999. The game features 12 playable characters, two of which are {{OBP|Pikachu|Super Smash Bros.}} and {{OBP|Jigglypuff|Super Smash Bros.}}. A stage based on {{OBP|Saffron City|stage}} is playable, and is also the main stage for Pikachu and Jigglypuff. The music that plays on this stage is a remix of the main Pokémon theme, often heard the openings for the [[core series]] titles. Twelve Pokémon also appear in the form of {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon, which can be used to either help or hurt players during a match. | The first game in the series, [[Super Smash Bros.]], was released for the [[Nintendo 64]] worldwide in 1999.
