Super Smash Land is a demake of Super Smash Bros. released in September 14, 2011[1] by Dan Fornace. The game features six playable characters and eleven stages.[2][3] The game visual design resembles the graphics from the Nintendo Game Boy. GameMaker 7 is the software behind the game.[4]

Gameplay

Super Smash Land's gameplay is similar to Super Smash Bros.. The objective is battling other characters and knocking them off the stage to win. Instead of knocking each other's health bar like in traditional fighting games, Super Smash Land has players to knock each other's percentage. The higher percent the player receives, the higher the change of getting knocked out and losing a point. There are many unlockable content in the game including characters, stages, and game modes.[5]

The game uses the arrow keys, Z, X, and the enter key on the keyboard in order to play the game.[6] There is an "endless" and "versus" game mode[7] where players can battle each other or fight hordes of AI enemies endlessly.[8] There are 11 total stages including a stage from the game Tower of Heaven.
