The Super Smash Bros. series, created by Masahiro Sakurai, is one of Nintendo's most popular intellectual properties. The games themselves are crossovers between various Nintendo franchises from big ones like Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda and Pokémon, to smaller ones like Kid Icarus and Punch-Out, as well as franchises not owned by Nintendo such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Metal Gear Solid and Mega Man.
The gameplay is very different from normal fighting games like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, in that rather than using punch and kick buttons for attacks, Super Smash Bros. uses an attack button and a special button; every character uses the same controls, using the directional buttons and the attack button for directional attacks, and chargeable 'Smash' attacks, and using the directional buttons and the special button for one of five special attacks: special by itself for a basic special, left or right for a side special, up for an up special (often used for recoveries) and down for a down special, and if a character has broken a Smash Ball, they can press the special button to perform their Final Smash, this game's equivalent to a Hyper move. The goal of the game is to knock the opponent away from the stage and off-screen, rather than reduce their health bar to 0.
Because M.U.G.E.N is an engine built for more traditional fighting games, the gameplay of Super Smash Bros. is rarely ever replicated perfectly, but characters have been created to fit M.U.G.E.N's gameplay. Some characters such as ShinRyoga and NeOaNkH's Mario simply use moves from their Smash counterparts, some characters such as Warner's Luigi use Smash's control scheme, and some characters such as Bane84's Kirby can outright change how M.U.G.E.N plays.
