Super Tilt Bro. is a Super Smash Bros.-style platform fighter built from scratch for the NES. Pick a fighter and battle it out on classic-style stages — play solo against the CPU or grab a second controller for local versus. The cartridge release famously adds online play via a Wi-Fi chip on the cart itself; that hardware feature only works on a real cartridge, so in the browser it runs as local 1–2 player.

Controls (default)

• Move / aim attacks: Arrow Keys (D-Pad) — hold a direction while attacking for different moves
• Attack: Q
• Special: W
• Jump: Up, or the attack/special directions as mapped in-game
• Start / menus: Enter (Start)

Tip: keys can be remapped from the emulator's control menu if you'd rather use Z/X.

Tips

• Hold a direction as you press attack or special to pull off different moves — each character has a full moveset.
• Recovering from off-stage is its own skill; learn each fighter's up-special before going for risky edge-guards.
• For two players, a second gamepad is the smoothest way to play.
