Super Smash Bros. Melee: Adventure Mode (Normal) with Mario in HD

Just a casual Adventure Mode playthrough. This video is designed to show off the "full experience" of Super Smash Bros. Melee's flagship single player mode that's captured our collective imaginations for over 20 years now.

Since another video is in the works, I decided to use the footage I'm capturing for it and make this. I have the Melee HD textures enabled (from https://assets.melee.tv), widescreen gecko code, and an internal resolution upscale of 1920x1584 for full 1080p capture. I also enabled 8x SSAA anti-aliasing, 16x anisotropic filtering, texture filtering, per-pixel lighting, and scaled EFB copy to make it as pretty as possible.

I did cheat a little bit in editing, so that RNG was on my side. List of things I changed:

- Swapped out the Mario Bros. cutscene with one that doesn't use any recolor costumes (happens when you pick Mario or Luigi)
- Replaced the Star Fox segment to ensure an encounter with Falco
- Replaced the Kirby section to ensure an encounter with Giant Kirby
- Replaced the Ending "Congratulations" segment with my own HD version

I also went out of my way to engage each of the Link battles in Underground Maze, and also waited for Zelda to transform into Sheik before I KO'd her. Yes, it was a little extra, but I wanted to show as much off as I could.

Unfortunately there are some odd quirks with the widescreen gecko code that haven't been fixed yet, mostly obvious in the text alignment and UI issues that show up during the stage clear screens or during the Star Fox cutscenes.

This is the Widescreen code I'm using for Melee 1.02:

If anyone knows of a widescreen code that fixes these issues, please let me know. :)

The other issue is, when having all of those visual settings cranked up super high, there are some serious performance issues during the stage clear screens. I replaced the audio with smoother versions so it doesn't sound choppy, but the video visibly drops frames during those parts. Sorry about that.

I hope you enjoy! I'll continue to tease bits of my next videos on Patreon: http://patreon.com/davidvkimball
