Smash Remix 1.5.0 Update: New Characters and Features

Introduction to Smash Remix 1.5.0 Update

The newest update to the Super Smash Bros. 64 mod, Smash Remix, adds characters from cult classic and iconic titles from the Nintendo 64 era. These characters include Banjo and Kazooie from the titular Rare franchise, Ebisumaru from Konami's cult classic Goemon series, and even Dragon King, the playable fighters from Masahiro Sakurai's original scrapped fighting game project that would evolve into Super Smash Bros. itself. These three characters were all welcome additions from longtime fans who had been following this Super Smash Bros. fan project.

New Characters Added in Smash Remix 1.5.0 Update

The latest update, version 1.5.0, adds three new characters to the roster of Smash Remix. These characters are: Banjo & Kazooie, Ebisumaru (as a boss variant for Goemon), and Dragon King (as a boss variant for Captain Falcon). Each of these characters brings a unique and exciting gameplay experience to the fan-made mod, further expanding the roster and adding to the excitement for fans.

New Features and Additions

In addition to the new characters, the 1.5.0 update also introduces several new features and additions to Smash Remix. These include new stages based on iconic locations from across Nintendo's history, new remixed single-player stages, a gallery for the congratulations images, customizable stage hazards, Pokemon appearance rate adjustments, and new items like the P-Wing from Super Mario Bros. 3. The video showcase ends with a compilation set to an N64 soundfont rendition of 'Happy Together' by The Turtles, which was the song used in the iconic Super Smash Bros. commercial that featured Mario, Yoshi, Pikachu, and Donkey Kong beating each other up in a field of flowers. Many fans praised the ending montage, as it brought them nostalgic memories of the original commercial while giving it a fresh modern twist thanks to the new content in Smash Remix.
