When the original Mario Kart was announced for the SNES, some gamers tutted, shook their heads, and admonished Nintendo for even daring to cash in on Mario's success in such a manner. They were soon gobbling their hats, of course, when Mario Kart emerged as the most enjoyable racing game ever (until arrived), but the same head-shakers are openly wondering if it's a such a good idea to shove our plumbing friend in a fighting game. Read on to discover if their fears are justified. Club Kirby When Wil flew to Japan for Nintendo's Spaceworid show, he witnessed a huge Super Smash Bros tournament in full flow. As a result, we leamt that Kirby is the character of choice among experts, presumably thanks to him being able to steal other fighters' abilities, making him effectively 12 characters in one.

So, if you're hoping for easy victory, think pink. Tournament Mode All the usual characters are waiting for a scrap in one-player, but there's also a bundle of characters that don't crop up elsewhere - such as the 30-strong Dummy Team of shiny purple robots.

Smash Bros' PAL delay was almost certainly due to - Nintendo wanted to give time for Europeans to get used to Pikachu and friends before they showed up in Smash Bros. And there are loads of in the game, courtesy of the brilliant Pokeball power-up - Meowth, Snorlax, Butterfree, Beedril, Chansey and loads of others all burst from the red-and-white spheres.

• In the red corner: Metro id's Samus, replete with orange bio-suit and giant laser. In the blue corner: Zelda's Link, armed with swords, bombs and an attractive green skirt Let battle commence! • Samus sneaks in an early shot on the Kokiri warrior. The young lady's futuristic gun can prove deadly - jumping or using your shield are the best ways to avoid a roasting. • After a few blows have been exchanged, Samus has maintained the upper hand. This battle on the edge of a treacherous moving platform threatens to put paid to them both, though.
