  Pad

Control Pad- I think this one is pretty self explanatory, but in case 
you didn't know...

Up- Your character jumps up in the air.
Diagonally up and Back- Your character jumps away.
Diagonally up and Forward- Your character jumps toward your opponent.
Down- Your character ducks.
Back- Your character blocks attacks. It won't defend you from throws, 
however.
Down+Back- You duck and block at the same time.

Buttons

A- Punch attack. Close range, but moderately powerful.
B- Kick attack. Farther range than a punch.
Down+A- Low blow. Wards off your opponent for a few moments.
Down+B- Trip attack. Also good for warding off opponents.
Up+A or Up+B- Jumping attack. This is mainly offensive.
Forward+A (when up close)- Throw attack. Leaves your opponent stunned.
Start- Pauses the game.
Select- Not used.

Note: A second player can play at the same time by pressing Right on the 
control pad at the character select screen.

Player 1 Life Bar- The first player's life bar. It gradually turns red 
as Player 1 takes damage from Player 2's attacks. If the bar is 
completely red, Player one loses the round, and Player 2 gains a point.

Player 2 Life Bar- The second player's life bar. It gradually turns red 
as Player 2 takes damage from Player 1's attacks. If the bar is 
completely red, Player two loses the round, and Player 1 gains a point.

Point- Shows how many points the player has accumulated. If one player 
collects two points, they win the match.

*- Timer. Once this reaches 0, the player with more life remaining on 
their life bar is the winner, and gains a point.

Select Screen

Going clockwise and starting from the left: Peach, Bowser, Nokonoko, 
Luigi, Toad, Yoshi, Mario, Donkey Kong Jr.

Scoring

You'll gain 200 points for every normal attack you land, and 300 for 
every special attack or throw you land. You'll also gain 50 points for 
every second left on the clock at the end of the round if you win. Note 
that these are not the same as the points you get for winning a match.

Move List
========================================================================
=====
Mario/Mari
The famous plumber appears once again to beat the crap out of Bowser and 
DK junior. He stole Ryu's uppercut technique, it seems.

Home Turf: The same as Luigi's, just a bridge suspended over some lava. 
BORING.
Primary colors: Red and Blue, his favorites.
Secondary colors: Blue and Green, looks very similar to Luigi.

Down, Down-Forward, Forward, A
Mario throws a small fireball at his opponent.

Back, Forward, A 
Mario propels himself into the air and pulls off an uppercut. This is 
useful for stopping jump-kicks before they connect.
========================================================================
=====
Yoshi/Yossy
Yoshi returns to do battle with Mario, for all the times he dropped him 
off a cliff and made him eat a scorching-hot Blargg in Super Mario 
World.

Home Turf: Little Nemo's dream land?!?!?! Apparently Nemo killed the 
nightmare king, so Yoshi decided to make it his home turf.
Primary colors: Green, mean dino.
Secondary colors: Purple, but still mean as ever.

Down, Down-Forward, Forward, A 
Yoshi throws a green wave. Funny, I thought he would throw an egg. Oh 
well.

Down, Down-Forward, Forward, B 
Yoshi lashes out with his tongue. It is slow-moving, but catches your 
opponents off-guard. This is the bad-ass Koopa buster we all know and 
love!

Forward, Forward-Down, Down, Down-Back, Back, B 
Yoshi hovers in the air and lashes his tail at his opponent. Most 
professionals are puzzled as to how the hell he does it.

Cheap 2-hit Combo

Corner your opponent, Press Down, Down-Forward, Forward and A, then and 
follow it up with A.

Another cheap 2-hit Combo

Jump in, press A, then press Down+B when you land.
========================================================================
=====
Toad/Kinopio
Toad gained some height, and decides to put it to good use against his 
rivals.

Home Turf: A forest. Apparently Toad couldn't find a better place, so he 
just walked into the woods and found this place.
Primary colors: Red clothing.
Secondary colors: Green clothing.

Down, Down-Forward, Forward, A 
Toad throws a mushroom at his opponent. Behold the power of...FUNGUS!

Forward, Up-Forward, Up, B
Toad slides forward on one foot, with his other leg extended to kick his 
opponent. Sort of reminds me of Jax's Shadow Kick from MK2.
========================================================================
=====
Luigi
Luigi decides that he has been overlooked for the last time, and decides 
to enter the tournament just to kick Mario's ass.

Home Turf: A bridge suspended over a lava pit. Anyone remember Eyedol's 
stage from Killer Instinct?
Primary colors: Green and blue. His favorites.
Secondary colors: Pink and blue. Looks sort of like Mario.

Down, Down-Forward, Forward, A 
Luigi launches a green fireball, which is very similar to Mario's red 
one.

(Need button motion)
Luigi does an uppercut attack, which is very similar to Mario's.

Cheap 2-hit Combo

Corner your opponent, then jump in and press B, then press A as you land 
to throw them.
========================================================================
=====
Donkey Kong Jr./Donkey

DK Junior saved his daddy from Mario before, and just wants to ensure 
that Mario never bothers them again. DK Junior's torso seems to have 
gained quite some size, and his legs are now very tiny. Must be some 
wierd genetic defect or something.
Primary colors: Light brown, white suit.
Secondary colors: Darker brown color.

Home Turf: A castle-type place with Thwomps in the background, a 
checkerboard floor, and some WIERD music playing.

Down, Down-forward, Forward, Punch- DK jr. slides a banana peel at his 
opponent. This is useful when the enemy gets up close.

Down, Down-back, Back, Kick- DK jr. flies straight up, throwing a 
massive uppercut. This is useful for stopping jumping attacks.
========================================================================
=====
Koopa Troopa/Nokonoko
Koopa has taken a beating from one too many times, and enters the 
tournament solely to prove he can beat Bowser AND Mario.

Home Turf: A desert, much like World 4 from Super Mario 2, complete with 
Pokeys.
Primary colors: Green, mean Koopa.
Secondary colors: Purple Koopa. Never before have I seen a Purple Koopa.

Back, Forward, B- Koopa pulls his head into his shell and jets forward a 
short distance.

Down, Down-Back, Back and Punch- Koopa uses a shoulder charge. This is 
useful for catching your opponents off guard when they're trying to jump 
you.

Cheap 2-hit Combo

Corner your opponent, jump in and press A, then press B.
========================================================================
=====
Bowser/Koopa
Apparently Noko stole his height, because now Bowser is even shorter 
than Toad! But Bowser wants to prove he's still the biggest, baddest 
turtle-dragon-beastie thingie there is.

Home Turf- Same ol' desert that Nokonoko/Koopa Troopa uses.
Primary colors- Green and mean.
Secondary colors- Blue, but still mean as ever.

Down, Down-Forward, Forward, A- Koopa spews fire breath at his opponent.

Back, Back-Down, Down, Down-Forward, Forward and Kick- Bowser charges 
forward and attempts to run over his opponent. Similar to Koopa's.
========================================================================
=====
Princess Toadstool/Peach
Peach grows tired of being rescued by Mario, and decides to rescue 
herself! She dons a cool-looking Chun-li outfit and decides to unload 
some whoop-ass.

Home Turf: High in the clouds. Maybe it's one of those bonus levels from 
Super Mario Bros.

Down, Down-Forward, Forward, A- Toadstool throws a little purple thingie 
at her opponent.

Down, Down-Back, Back, B- Toadstool jets forward while spinning around 
with her arms flailing.

Back+B- Peach uses her hair to nail her opponent.
