With Super Smash Bros. Ultimate now nearly four years removed from its final update, the Smash community has had to be creative in getting their fill of new Smash Bros. experiences. One savvy modding team has created Smash Remix–a gigantic content mod for the original Super Smash Bros. on Nintendo 64–and a new trailer has revealed many new features now available in Smash Remix’s 2.0 patch.
The 15-minute trailer highlights two brand-new additions to the Smash Remix roster, as Princess Peach and Crash Bandicoot have joined the fray. A few other faces, like Slippy Toad, Dr. Luigi, and Lanky Kong, have been added to a designated “bonus” slot on the character select screen as well.
New arenas are also coming with the 2.0 update, including the Crash Bandicoot-themed Time Twister, as well as Discovery Falls–themed after one of the levels from Dinosaur Planet, the Rare project that eventually became Star Fox Adventures. The patch also brings new items, new game modes like King Of The Hill and Tag Team, the voice acting of original SSB announcer Jeff Manning, and more.
Smash Remix first appeared on the mod scene in May 2019 as version 0.5, with version 1.0 officially launching in September 2021. The mod has seen multiple updates between the 1.0 and 2.0 patches, including 1.1.0 in February 2022 which added Sonic, 1.4.0 in June 2023 which added Goemon, and 1.5.0 in January 2024 which brought Banjo and Kazooie to the game.
Smash Remix 2.0 is available to download now for free on the mod team’s official website. Patch notes for the 2.0 update can be found on the website as well, with highlights seen below.
