I think that the ESRB ratings are important to some games. But I don't think that parents should have to worry about Mario games, rated E or Teen.

Is ESRB as important When a Mario Game or such is rated i.e. Super Smash Bros. Melee Rated T in ESRB Rules because in Japan the CERO rated it ALL Ages

Oh my gosh it's dezzer who likes to talk really fast without stopping and ha ha ha ha ha ha ha here we go now I will press this shiny red button!
I don't know if SSBM really should've been a T game. I mean... ReDeads scare everyone for some reason (except for me) but there's no blood or real violence in it.

There was no 'E10' rating back in 2001, and ESRB must've thought 'E' would've been pushing it. But I agree with BP. 'T' was a bit high for SSBM. I see nothing in it that I don't think a child would be able to handle.

There's fake blood(Pause while attacking)but still...................................................................

That 'blood' is depicted as red flashes. I think even my two-year-old niece would be able to tell the difference between realistic blood and fancy red flashes.

Nope, there was really no reason that SSBM need a teen rating. There was nothing a kid 10- wouldn't have understood. There wasn't even any blood. Just flashes, as Kojinka poins out.

Yeah, it's actually pretty funny to punch another character in the face and see multicolored bursts of light appear out of nowhere.

And that's why it's rated T. Now you think it's funny to punch other characters in the face.

The Chef · « **Reply #68 on:** June 24, 2006, 12:50:27 PM »

That isn't what I meant. The part that I thought was funny was the multicolored bursts of light, not the actual punching.

speshaly all those sound affects.

coolkid · « **Reply #71 on:** June 25, 2006, 02:14:33 PM »

The sound effects sound like punches in Cartoons!

Kojinka · « **Reply #72 on:** June 26, 2006, 09:19:36 AM »

I like the sound affects from the N64 one a bit more.

Unecessary Fact:

The sound effects from Melee previously appeared in the Japan version of SSB64. They were changed for USA release for being too violent.

Too violent? *rolls eyes*
