“Take to the stars with your favourite Nintendo characters from throughout the ages - Mario, Samus, Pikachu, Bowser, Link, Kirby, and many, many more! Your Star Fight starts now!”
Smash Galaxy: Star Bright, Star Fight (often shortened to just Smash Galaxy.) is a crossover space-fighting game in which multiple characters from various Nintendo games take to the stars and skies of various Nintendo worlds. The game was developed in a collaborative effort between Nintendo, Ubisoft and Button Studios. It was released as a launch title for the Nymbus on November 12th, but was also released on the Nintendo Switch on the same day.
Smash Galaxy was made as a unique take on the Smash Bros. series with a new gameplay style inspired by games such as Star Fox 64 and Starlink: Battle for Atlas. Star Fox characters are featured very prominantly on the box art and other promotional material due to the game's similarity to the Star Fox home series.
The Standard Starfight mode is a mode in which you have standard matches with friends or CPU. Once you select the mode, you are asked if you want to play locally or online. The mode uses standard health settings and stats and items can be turned off and on. There are 6 battle settings you can pick to change the objective of the game.
Battle, in which you must drop your opponent's health bar to zero.
Pursuit, where you must escape from another player chasing you, you can be either the escapee or the pursuer.
Protect, the mode where you must protect an item which is unique to a player that is large in size from being destroyed by the other team, opponents defeated are brought back after a short time, although the respawning can be turned off.
Boss, in which you must defeat a boss, you can all work together as a team or compete to see who can deal the most damage. If competing, you can defeat other players briefly.
Coin, in which you must collect scattered coins, you must end the match with the most coins to be a victor, hitting enemies makes them drop coins, although enemies cannot be defeated.
Race, in which you try and beat opponents to the finish line of a streamlined course, defeating opponents briefly puts them out of commission.
Escort, in which you must protect an item until it reaches a certain point. You can choose if you wish to be attacking the item and trying to destroy it or trying to defend it.

On very rare occasions, Zapdos will dive down from the suddenly stormy sky and cause a terrifying storm, dealing huge damage with huger lightning bolts.

Venom
This land of burning lava is quite dangerous, that is, if the name didn't already tip you off. Burning spouts of lava will shoot up, damaging players caught, look out for Star Wolf, who'll indiscriminately shoot anyone they see, even their leader!
