Eden Master, the original Super Smash Bros. does too have smash attacks. Maybe you just didn't do them correctly. CHARGED smash attacks are missing though, where you hold the button. Just hit direction plus A at the SAME TIME (just like a Melee smash attack) and boom, super powered move. However, indeed Melee is the superior game in every way, and thus there isn't really a reason to go back to the first for anything but nostalgia.
Kirby 64 was fun, but my personal fave is still Kirby Super Star. That game had so many different moves that even without combinations it was still more than Crystal Shards (I think so anyway). It also had a whole lot of modes of play, from the classic level by level play of the first two "games", to the massive singular world of the Great Cave Offensive (with lots of collecting of items), to the timed rush game with Meta Knight, and finally the Megaman-esqu Star one where you picked the order of the levels and kept all the powers you got (only via statues in this one) and could use them whenever via a menu. It was great fun!
Plus, how could someone not like Kirby? He's probably the most powerful video game character ever. I mean, just look at how he can casually cleave his home planet in two, or destroy everything on the screen in a single explosion of raw energy. And he can tear off bits of himself (not graphic at all, he's made of some weird pink stuff like chewed up bubble gum or something) and toss them at the enemy, and eat the enemy and absorb their strength into himself (changing form, except in 64, where they SHOULD have given him the standard hat changes, but didn't), and he can turn his opponents into candy with one of his abilities, and eat them up. Then he can instantly regenrate himself after any attack, or if he happens to loose that piece of himself he threw as a blade. He also has the awesome power of the crystal, with which he managed to kill what was most likely some sort of fallen angel, with exploding stars as weapons it had!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
