About Super Smash Sisters (Animation)
I stumbled across Super Smash Sisters (Animation) the other day, and honestly, it’s one of those projects that feels like a secret treat for anyone who’s spent way too many hours with Nintendo’s all-star fighting series. Instead of the usual roster mix, this animation zeroes in on the leading ladies you know and love—Peach, Zelda, Samus, and the rest—battling it out in a whirlwind of colorful punches, kicks, and special attacks. The whole thing is wrapped up in a super-smooth animation style that somehow balances cartoonish exaggeration with just enough homage to each character’s classic moves.
What really tickled me was how each heroine gets her moment to shine. You’ll see Samus charge her arm cannon and deliver a thunderous blast that practically shakes the screen, then moments later Zelda’s magic spells light up the background like a fireworks show. There’s even a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor woven in—Peach might catch someone off-guard with that infamous umbrella dash, only to dust off her gloves and crack a cheeky smile afterward. It feels less like a stiff tribute and more like a group of friends messing around in a backyard tournament.
The pacing keeps you on your toes, too. One minute you’re laughing at a playful quip, the next you’re on the edge of your seat as two characters trade smash attacks that send shockwaves through the arena. There’s no real “gameplay” in the interactive sense, but the animation nails the spirit of what makes the Super Smash Bros. series so addictive—those split-second decisions, the dramatic aerial combos, and just a touch of chaos when someone flies off into the void.
All said, Super Smash Sisters (Animation) feels like a love letter from a devoted fan who wanted to spotlight the female fighters in a way that’s equal parts epic and endearing. If you’re looking for a quick dose of nostalgia peppered with fresh, spirited action, it’s definitely worth a watch—even if, like me, you keep finding yourself replaying your favorite moments just to catch every little detail.
