TheColor TV-Game 15 (カラーテレビゲーム15,Color TV-Game 15) is the second entry in theColor TV-Game line, and the second home video game consoleNintendo ever made.

Origin[edit]

The Color TV-Game 15 console.

The Color TV-Game line of consoles was a series of consoles produced by Nintendo in the late 1970s, with all consoles only being released in Japan. The Color TV-Game 15 was the second iteration of the console, released in 1977, and features fifteen game variants over the six offered by its predecessor, Color TV-Game 6.

The Color TV-Game series features theLight Tennis game, which was among the numerousPong clones produced after the production ofPong byNolan Bushnell's Atari in 1972. The paddles move in linear paths with the same consistent speed, in homage to how the original game was controlled by using microswitches. TheTennis B (テニスB,Tennis B) variant serves as the basis of the game's appearance in theSuper Smash Bros. series, according to the PALSSB4trophy description.

InSuper Smash Bros. 4[edit]

As anAssist Trophy[edit]

The Color TV-Game 15 made itsSmash Bros. debut as anAssist Trophy inSmash 4. Upon being summoned, a single white paddle appears above the summoner's head, before splitting into two paddles fromLight Tennis. It will then launch a large pixel "ball" between both paddles, playing a game ofTennis B by themselves. The launched ball will bounce off any surfaces it touches, and deals extreme knockback to any enemy that touches it directly;reflecting a ball in play often grants itOHKO power. The paddles themselves reflect opoonent's projectiles. The paddles also deal knockback to enemies that touch them, while not inflicting any damage.

During the "game", an aesthetic score appears above each paddle, keeping track of how many wins each paddle has. The paddles will attempt to keep the ball in play as long as possible; if one paddle gets a point, the other paddle will shake up and down in dismay before another ball is launched.

Color TV-Game 15 has a spawn chance of38/1254. It cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies to both games and only the base form unless noted otherwise):
