Super Smash Bros. Melee, known in Japan as Dairantou* Smash Brothers DX** (大乱闘 スマッシュ ブラザーズDX, Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu Dī Ekkusu), and often shortened to "SSBM" or "Melee", is a 3-D on a 2-D plane fighting game for the Nintendo GameCube. It was released in late 2001 in America and Japan, shortly after GameCube's launch, and early 2002 in Europe. It is the second game in the series, following Super Smash Bros.
Several Pokémon elements are featured in the game. Like Super Smash Bros., several Pokémon are featured in the Pokéball. Many of those in the Pokéball item, are also featured in the game as trophies. Pikachu makes a reappearance in the Super Smash Bros. series as a playable character, being on the many characters at the beginning of the game.
