I only played the first one (and only a couple of times at a friends house). It was pretty fun, but not super. I haven't played any of the others (largely because I haven't owned a nintendo since the 64).

The 64 one was excellent. The Gamecube one had a totally wrong feel, as far as I'm concerned. Didn't like it.

I'll tell you what I miss. The secret level on Rush San Francisco.
Not exactly Smash Bros., but thinking about playing this on N64 reminded me of Rush.
I haven't played it in years. So much fun and so many hours spent playing that with friends.
And then they took that idea, and applied it to Rush San Francisco: 2049, and absolutely screwed it up, making it too gimicky.

For those of you who don't know, there was an unlockable bonus level where it was a simple grey room with all kinds of different jumps all through it (from huge ramps to little bumps and everything in between) which were lit up in bright colours. Basically you went over them and tried to do flips, spins, spirals, and just get good distance. The more tricks, the better the score.
That is, if you landed it. And if you rolled a few times and then landed it, you'd get your score multiplied. Oh, and it wasn't turn-based. It was just free-for-all for a given time, and you just try to rack up as much as you can. If you didn't land, you exploded, and it would just respawn you, for continued play. It was probably one of my favourite console video games of all time. So much fun was had.

I have Rush 2049 for the 64. Such a great game. That secret level was fun as hell.

I didn't care for it. Give me the simplicity of the original Rush: San Francisco's secret track any day.

To be Fair, Luigi does a lot of 'shrooms.

I really have to disagree, that's not even that well done. A while ago some guys on the Something awful forums (I think) did NES covers of some popular songs and game music. I can't seem to find them now, but I do have them on my computer, I could email them to someone if they wanted, the zip file is 67.8 mb, so it'd have to be separate songs. The song list is as follows.

REM- Losing my religion
Europe - Final Countdown
Gueen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
Lynyrd Synyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
Led Zepplin - Kashmir
Rick James - Super Freak
Semisonic - Closing Time
Hidden NESmix Intro
Zero wing (Opening Theme)
Tetris (Music A)

They're all pretty fucking fantastic, I think, and better than that little redo. But yep, NES covers are awesome.

I don't think that's the point. It's not a well done arrangement so much as it is a barrage of nostalgic jabs to the pleasure centre of my brain. As a song, it's meandering, and piecemeal, but as a quick trip into the latchkey generation, it's fantastic.
