Hey, guess what? There is a game calledSuper Smash Bros. Brawlcoming out this weekend for the Wii. You may have heard a little something about it.
In celebration of the occasion that either makessome peopleridiculously excited orotherscompletely annoyed, this week’s Great Retro Quiz is all about thecharacters featured in the originalSuper Smash Bros.for theNintendo 64. Why the original? Well, this is a “retro” quiz after all and that was the most retro I could get concerning this series.
Keep in mind that this quiz is not really about the actualgameas much as it is about thecharacters featured in it. I just don’t want anyone to yell at me for not asking about the difference and subtle nuances between “Break the Targets” and “Board the Platforms.”
As an omen, those who do well on this quiz are destined to win their first match ofBrawlcome next week. I have foreseen it. Just leave your answers in the comments and check mycommunity blogtomorrow (3/6) for all the correct answers.
What are you waiting for, let the mental melee begin! Good luck!
