Super Smash Bros. Melee, known in Japan as Great Melee Smash Brothers Deluxe (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズDX, Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu Derakkusu), often abbreviated as SSBM or simply as Melee, is a crossover fighting game released for the Nintendo GameCube shortly after its launch in 2001.

The following codes are for the 1-player game modes ONLY, such as Classic Melee, Adventure Melee, All-Star Melee, and Training mode. For all of these modes (except for the Training mode), the codes will also affect the speed of the game. For instance, the bigger you make your character, the faster the game goes. Hence, the smaller, the slower. Super Smash Bros. Melee Action Replay Codes.

If anyone else wants to do all of the casual modes, just make sure you keep it separate from your netplay build, or else you'll cause desyncs.

Welcome to the Official Melee Texture Hacks Thread! I have categorized all characters and stages into categories, and the different costumes into sub categories. Please read the FAQ if you have any questions. If the FAQ does not answer your question, PM me or ask on the thread (Bumping helps!).

Like its predecessor, Super Smash Bros. Melee differs from traditional fighting games in that inflicting the most damage does not guarantee victory. Instead, opposing players must inflict damage to add to the opponents percentage, to make them lighter, then force their opponents beyond the boundaries of the stage. Unlike other games of the same genre, in which moves are entered by button-input combinations, most moves in Super Smash Bros. Melee can be accessed via one-button presses and a joystick direction.

In addition to highly refining the gameplay of Super Smash Bros., Melee also sports additional stages and characters, and an expanded single player mode, called 'Adventure Mode'. The game also introduced many of the staples of its sequel, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Melee received universal acclaim from critics, and went on to become the best selling GameCube game of all time.

Problems

Saving Screenshots

Saving a screenshot in Camera Mode of Special Melee will just be a black image. You can fix this by turning off EFB Copies to Texture Only.

Enhancements

16:9 Aspect Ratio Fix

The built-in Widescreen Hack causes clipping issues. The following Gecko codes work as a replacement, causing fewer issues. To avoid conflicts, make sure that Widescreen Hack is disabled while using these codes.

NTSC

The NTSC version of this game has 3 different revisions. You can check the revision of your ISO by going into Game Properties.

PAL

Revision patch for Netplay

For netplay to work, each player must not only be playing the same game, but have the same revision of said game. However, Melee was sold in many different revisions, and this may block some players from participating in netplay. Your netplay ISO can be patched to other revisions to work around this issue. For details and instructions, see the Smashboards post on the subject.

Texture Pack

A fantastic beautiful texture pack keeps the original art style can be found here, Melee HD Texture Pack (Dolphin) (v1.01)

There have been many Melee texture packs over the years, so don't stop at the one linked above.

Debug Sound Test Menu

If the 'DBLEVEL' field in the Master Debug Menu is set to 'DEVELOP', the game's title screen will display the build date for whichever version of the game is being played. Pressing X here will allow you to enter the Debug Sound Test Menu. This only works in the North American and Japanese versions. In the European version, this code must be used to access the menu:

In the Sound Test, you can toggle between Mono and Stereo sound, change the sound effect and music volume (from 0 to 127), change the DSP level (0 to 127), and play the game's sounds and songs. You can also exit back to the title screen by picking the final option.

Unused Stages

There are six 'unused' entries in the Debug Menu's level select for Versus Mode, but only two work without external codes.Note that most, if not all the unused stages use the song currently playing instead of their own song(s), of course because there was no music for these stages yet.

10-2

Crashes the game, though there are codes that can force it to load. The stage is simply Icicle Mountain without music. This was likely an unfinished Ice Climbers-related stage from Adventure Mode, as 10-2 comes immediately after '10-1ICEMT', in which the player climbs Icicle Mountain and fights the Ice Climbers.

AKANEIA

Crashes the game. The name suggests it was Fire Emblem-themed, as Akaneia is the name of a country in the series, and the internal name for the Fire Emblem song in Temple is also AKANEIA. Sakurai confirmed on the Melee website that Akaneia was a cut stage. Catapults would launch stones at the castle, and a dragon and a summoner would appear.

DUMMY

There is no actual stage known as 'Dummy' in the game's data, so trying to load this stage (usually done via the debug menu) crashes the game, though there are codes that can force a match to start when this stage is selected. The game will check during stage initialization to see if the file string pointer is null, and if it is, the game will initialize these values, creating what is often referred to as the Dummy stage. If this stage is forced to load, the entire stage is pitch black, with a single invisible platform at the center of the stage. While there are blast lines, they are located extremely far, thus it's impossible to get KO'd here since the game will crash due to players being too far away. The code for v1.2: Y07T-75KH-UX3X4 FKNZ-39HF-7XCTP

ICETOP

Crashes the game, though there are codes that can force it to load. It's exactly the same as 10-2, being Icicle Mountain without music. The name implies that it was going to be another Ice Climbers stage, possibly like the Summit stage in Brawl. Sakurai confirmed that there was another Ice Climber stage planned on the Melee website. The code for v1.2: K22D-EC8A-YWETG N3E9-E0YT-ARXBP

Gecko Codes Ssbm

TEST

A large stage with untextured platforms, a few pits and floating platforms (some move vertically, some horizontally). The music that plays on this stage is borrowed from the Corneria stage. The backdrop is of a now-closed coffee shop in Palo Alto, California named Caffe Verona, now replaced with a Mexican restaurant named Reposada. Said backdrop is commonly used in 3D graphics, such as early editions of the OpenGL Programming Guide.

TSEAK

An untextured test stage for 'Break the Targets'. It was reserved for Sheik, who ended up sharing the level (and character) with Zelda. It's also possible that rather than a test stage, this was a template that served as a starting point for every Target Test stage.

Unused Character Intros

Also found within the Debug Menu are unused second-long intro sequences for all 25 characters, presumably intended for All-Star Mode. Go to MODE TEAM TEST > KIM and highlight ALLSTAR ENEMY, then press Left and Right to switch characters and A to view the intro. This is also the only way to view the opponent portraits for Sheik, Ganondorf, and Roy, as they're never fought in Classic Mode.

Unused Pokémon

Using one of the Debug Menu's many tools, it's possible to choose which Pokémon will spawn from a Poké Ball. One of these Pokémon is Ditto, listed under its Japanese name of Metamon. If a Poké Ball containing Ditto is thrown, it will pop out, briefly shout its Japanese name, and vanish. Ditto was presumably removed late in development, as it is mentioned in the official Melee strategy guide. (A video of Ditto can be seen right here.) Only one instance of Ditto can be on-screen at a time.

Ditto was later properly implemented in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: When summoned, it transforms into the fighter that summoned it and fights alongside them. This was likely intended to be its effect here as well.

Unused Animations

Universal

Selected & SelectedWait

Two unused animations exist for every playable character, titled 'Selected' and 'SelectedWait'. Many of the 'Selected' animations bear a close resemblance to victory poses used in-game, although the 'SelectedWait' animations all appear to be totally unused.

The filenames appear to suggest that these animations were intended to play upon selecting a character, in a manner akin to the original Super Smash Bros. As Melee utilizes splash art on the character select screen as opposed to the playable character models, there are no other situations these animations could appropriately be used in, ultimately rendering them unused.

The animations for various characters are noticeably unfinished — characters such as Marth and Young Link have their objects clip through their own models, while Ganondorf and Falco only have one static frame of animation.

Some of the 'Selected' and 'SelectedWait' animations were later reused in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as idling victory poses and as taunts.

ItemBlind

A unique animation which is included in every characters animation bank, despite not being used by any of them. The actions depicted pertain to being temporarily stunned and blinded by an unknown item, while reaching out as if to grab onto something.

As no item in-game 'blinds' the player in such a manner, it likely corresponds to an item cut from the game.

Ganondorf

A second jab attack for Ganondorf, titled 'Attack12', is present in Ganondorf's animation bank, although the animation is a duplicate of Captain Falcon's, almost certainly imported from Falcon's own archive.

The existence of this animation allows an unusual glitch to be performed in 1.0 releases of the game, where using a jab while under the effects of a Bunny Hood would trigger this otherwise-unused animation, revealing that no hitboxes were coded in for the move.

Peach

While Peach has no unused animations of her own, the filenames for her special moves appear to suggest that the commands for Vegetable and Toad were swapped around in development - the animation for Peach unearthing a Turnip from the ground is titled 'SpecialN' (universally used for neutral B special moves), whereas animations corresponding to Toad (including Kirby copying the move) include 'SpecialLw' as part of their filenames. Intriguingly, because of this change, Toad is the only counter special move in the series to not be mapped to the Down-B command, although it appears it was originally planned to be.

Master Hand & Crazy Hand

Master Hand and Crazy Hand were intended to have a fourth team attack, titled 'Tagtsukamu' in their animation data. It would have been activated by inputting D-Pad Left + Y while playing as Crazy Hand. However, this will cause the hands to be stuck forever, as inputting D-Pad Up + Y as Master Hand will do nothing. Unlike the other team attacks, there are three other subactions associated with it, 'Tagnigiru', 'Tagshippai', and 'Tagcancel'. This would have been a grab move, as the normal grab subactions are named 'Tsukamu', 'Nigiru', 'Shippai', and 'Cancel'. This attack is incomplete, as Crazy Hand has no hitboxes for the attack.

Character Select

An unused animation for the character select screen which makes the icons for the six 'clone' characters (Dr. Mario, Ganondorf, Falco, Young Link, Pichu, and Roy) slide out from underneath the icons of their respective 'base characters' (Mario, Captain Falcon, Fox, Link, Pikachu, and Marth) still exists and can be re-enabled with Gecko code 044dc578 00000000.

Unused Graphics

Great Bay Laboratory Interior

In earlier versions of the game, the lab in Termina: Great Bay could be entered (it contained openings on the left and right sides) and stood on top of. This idea was eventually canned and the laboratory was closed and moved to the background, no longer being part of the arena. However, the lab still has some textures and models of some pipes inside of it, likely remnants from the initial idea.

TEST's Textures

The textures of the test stage 'TEST', discussed above.

Removed Timed Mine Item

Found in MnExtAll.dat alongside the Item Switch menu textures is a texture for the Timed Mine from GoldenEye 007, an item which doesn't appear in the final game. The international versions, as detailed on the sub-page, were able to use the Proximity Mine's design for the Motion Sensor Bomb item, so licensing issues are unlikely.

Audio leftovers also exist for this item, as the unused audio file titled 'SFX_IT_CLOCKBOMB_COUNT' includes a ticking sound which continually loops.

Hand Icons

There are Emblem graphics for a left hand and a right hand, found in IfAll.dat. They were likely intended to be unique emblem graphics for Master Hand (the right hand) and Crazy Hand (the left hand) respectably, but they share the generic Super Smash Bros. series logo with Giga Bowser and the Fighting Wire Frames in-game.

These graphics are conspicuously absent from any other archive which includes the rest of the game's series logos, including the results screen.

Coming Soon

Leftovers from a demo version, found at IfComSn.dat. This file still functions as it did for demos if loaded by the game.

Unused Event Match Character Tags

These textures (found in MnMaAll.dat) correspond to the character nametags used on the Event Match menu. However, since there are no Event Matches where you are forced to play as these characters, they go unused.

Hidden Rice Ball

In Eagleland: Onett, inside the planter in front of the Drug Store is a small rice ball. It can be seen with a hacked camera. This oddity is also present in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's version of the stage, but is absent from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Plum Trophy

Among Plum's trophy's textures is a picture of a gun.

Sushi Board

Among the textures of the Mushroom Kingdom stage is a sushi board.

Pokémon Stadium Textures

These two textures are included with the files for Pokémon Stadium. The one on the left says 'test' and was likely used to test the display on the big screen, while the tiny texture on the right says 'dummy' and is used as a placeholder for the screen. The files are named GrdPStadiumOVTest and GrdPStadiumDummy, respectively. These textures are also present in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's version of the stage. The dummy texture is in the files to indicate where the screen is while the test background is hidden behind the other screens for the stage transitions.

Also included in Pokémon Stadium's textures is the background seen on the How to Play video included on the disc. While it can be seen in the How to Play Video, there is no known way to see this appear on the stage during actual gameplay. This texture and the 'test' screen texture are both the same size as the textures used for Pokémon Stadium's various element graphics that indicate stage transformations, but in the How to Play video this texture is shown to stretch across the screen rather than maintaining the texture's original aspect ratio. This texture is hidden behind the other screens and the stage must be edited to make the How to Play screen present.

HAL Copyright

• Texture for his sheath.

A couple of Roy's textures that pertain to his accessories have some hidden text that reads '©HAL LABRATORY.INC'. Once again, HAL demonstrates that they're not very good at spelling their own name.

No other character has this unique 'signature' in their textures, which probably suggests that these were done late in development.

Reflections

While not actually unused, several trophies have interesting reflections that are barely noticeable in-game.

The Ayumi Tachibana trophy has a heavily embossed cat's face.

The Fire Kirby trophy has a baby's face.

The Metroid trophy has part of the Super Metroid title screen!

The Metal Mario trophy has a grayscale reflection of the Yoshi's Island stage.

The Ocarina of Time trophy has a small reflection of the sky.

Several trophies use this reflection. It is actually a screenshot of Osohe Castle from the cancelled N64 version of Mother 3!

Random Stage Preview

When you hover the token over a stage on the stage select screen, a small 3D preview render appears behind the name on the lower-left. The 'random stage' token, on the other hand, shows no preview...except it does have one, albeit just off-screen to the right.

The preview render itself is just a simple tilted and tall structure.

Unused Special Messages

These can all be accessed (except the last two) via the debug menu under MODE TEAM TEST > KIM > GOHUBI ID or GOHUBI FIGURE. However, in the European version, none of these can be accessed with the exception of Trophy IDs 292 to 299 (which is exclusive to it). There are a few messages that are left unused:

Unused Bonuses

Some Special Bonuses were left out of the game, though you can get these with an Action Replay.

Unused Codes

Unselectable 'Yes' button

Selecting 'Yes' in the Game Over screen while having a choice to Continue without enough coins can make this option unselectable, causing the error sound effect to play instead of allowing the player to gain extra lives and continue onto the stage where it left off. Even if the game has these commands, it goes straight to a Game Over after the trophy lands onto the red lined table when the coins have been checked and the 'Game Over' state is put in use.

Use one of the Action Replay codes below in the appropriate version to test out this occurrence when you go to the menu without the required coins to continue.

Ssbm All Character Dolphin Code Free

Playable Giga Bowser

The video on the right shows that Giga Bowser was in fact playable at some point in development, albeit likely only for AI testing or to see if Bowser's files were successfully copied for Giga Bowser. The former is probably more accurate, as all boss characters are playable in some form using the debug mode. See the Notes page for the codes. Interestingly enough this remains in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Boot-Up Message Log

The game sends a few debug logs to GameCube's hardware during the startup process, but this is never seen by a player using a retail GameCube. It's possible to view these messages in Dolphin by enabling the logging feature (View --> Show Log). Note that some parts of the log are based on the system the log was retrieved from, such as the system's set date and time when it was accessed ('GC Calendar Year'). Below is an example of such a log:

Build Date

The build date is displayed in the boot-up log message and the debug menu.

Boot.DOL Stuff

In boot.dol, the game's executable, there are a few interesting little strings.

Trophy Oddities

Rigged Trophies

• Meowth

• Annie

• Bayonette

• Ray Mk II

• Milk

• White Cat

Several trophies are fully rigged for unknown reasons.

Ryota Hayami Trophy

Despite the game having files to load a different Ryota Hayami trophy dependent on region (TyWaveRace.dat and TyWvRcUs.dat), both files feature identical trophy models.

3D Mr. Game & Watch

Mr. Game & Watch is a full-3D model like all the other characters. He's only flat because the game runs the flattening code on him at all times, like how everyone else is flattened on the Flat Zone stage. The grey outline is done by having a larger 'shell' model with its normals pointed inwards so the inside is seen instead of the outside.
