All Ages Welcome 10 AM to 12 PM

“The All Ages session is going to be full of legendary showdowns,” exclaims Kirsten, the morning host. “The energy will be electric, and you never know who might come out on top. Seeing a grandparent and grandkid go head-to-head is just the kind of thrilling match that makes this event so special. Be ready for surprises and unforgettable moments!”
This session brings together families, friends, and gamers from all walks of life. Imagine parents facing off against their kids, siblings duking it out in a flurry of special moves and final smashes, or squaring off with a perfect stranger in an exhilarating duel.
Take note! You should not underestimate the power of the younger contenders—they have the reflexes and creativity to surprise even the most experienced players. Prizes will be awarded for the top players, so come ready to win and make some new gaming friends along the way.
Teens Take Over 1 PM to 3 PM
As the sun reaches its zenith, it is time for the teens to shine! From 1 PM to 3 PM, the Library will be buzzing with the energy and excitement of Teen Gamers in the Super Smash Bros Smackdown. This session is exclusively for Teens, ensuring a high-octane atmosphere filled with intense competition and epic battles.
“The afternoon session is where the real action happens,” declares Kristin, the afternoon host. “Teen players bring a level of intensity and strategy that will astound you. We’re talking next-level skills and mind-blowing tactics. It’s going to be epic! If you want to see some truly jaw-dropping gameplay, this is the session you don’t want to miss.”
Whether you are a tactical genius, a combo master, or just enjoy smashing your friends off the screen, this is your chance to prove who the ultimate champion is. Expect fierce rivalries, unexpected upsets, and a whole lot of fun. We are pulling out all the stops with awesome prizes for the winners and plenty of opportunities to showcase your skills.
Spectators Welcome!
For those who prefer to watch the action unfold from the bleachers rather than doing any smashing yourself, spectators are more than welcome to join in on the excitement! Come cheer on your favorite players, enjoy the high-energy atmosphere, and witness the epic battles as they happen. Whether you are supporting a friend or family member, or simply love the thrill of competitive gaming, being a spectator at the Super Smash Bros Smackdown will be a memorable experience.
A Friendly Rivalry
While Kirsten and Kristin may have their playful rivalry over which session will be the standout hit, one thing is clear: the Super Smash Bros Smackdown promises to be an incredible event for everyone involved. Both sessions are designed to provide an inclusive, fun, and competitive atmosphere that will appeal to gamers of all levels.
So, whether you’re starting your day with a Family-Friendly Brawl or ending it with a Teen Tournament Extravaganza, Manitowoc Public Library is the place to be on Friday, January 24. Get ready to smash, strategize, and celebrate the love of gaming with your community.
