'''''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''''' is an action game for the [[Wii]]. It is the third game in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], the sequel to ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. The game was designed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]], who also made the last two ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, and developed by a special team especially created for it.

After a planned release date of December 3rd, 2007 in North America, all regions had their release dates pushed back. It was then slated for release on February 10, 2008 in North America, and January 24, 2008 for Japan. However on January 15, 2008 it was then pushed to January 31, 2008 for Japan<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/2008/080115.html Press Release on the Release Date on the Japanese Official Nintendo Website (in Japanese)], published 2008-1-15.</ref> and March 9, 2008 for North America<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/index.html Smash Bros. DOJO!! - American English Edition], published 2008-1-15.</ref>.

Following the release of the game in Japan, a bug was discovered in the game which displays an error message every time it starts<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/jp/smashbrosx_notice.pdf Document on the Japanese Smash Bros. DOJO!! explaining the Error '''(PDF)'''], accessed 2008-1-4.</ref>, though players are able to close it and play the game as usual. Nintendo has now started a replacement program<ref name="disk"/>. The game requires 128 blocks of memory at the very least<ref>"Also, for those of you who haven't seen this already, as previously confirmed, Brawl will be using the Havoc engine and it seems that it will take up 128 blocks of memory to save. Don't forget to add replays, snapshots, stages, ect to that amount since it seems this is only the base amount of memory for records, SSE, and other pre-made features!" - [http://www.brawlcentral.com/news.php?y=2008&m=1 Brawl Central News Archive], accessed 2008-2-4.</ref>.

==Story==
{{spoiler}}
[[Image:Brawl_Adventure_Logo.jpg|thumb|left|''The Subspace Emissary'' Logo.]]
The "Subspace Emissary" is the adventure and story mode of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. It has been said that ''The Subspace Emissary'' will rely on character development, meaning that it involves the characters' individual backgrounds. The main antagonists are the [[Subspace Army]], which is led by the [[Ancient Minister]].

At the beginning of the story, [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] and [[Princess Peach]] watch trophies of [[Mario]] and [[Kirby]] fall into an arena and transform into their living counterparts. They proceed to do battle, while [[Pit]] watches from [[Skyworld]], cheering them both on. After his defeat, Mario or Kirby is transformed into a [[Trophy]], which the other revives into his living counterpart.

However, [[Meta Knight]]'s ship, the [[Battleship Halberd|Halberd]], flies over the main stadium. It sprays purple spores into the arena, called [[shadowbugs]], which then takes the form of a group of strange robotic-looking creatures, called the [[Primid]]. Zelda and Peach run to assist Mario and Kirby, and all five of them will fight the Primid.

The Ancient Minister then arrives on a floatind platform, and drops down a [[Subspace Bomb]], which is activated by two [[R.O.B.]]s. The bomb then shows a detonation timer, indicating that it will explode in three minutes. Mario hurries to deactivate it, but is bombed out of the stadium by a giant cannonball. Kirby ponders what to do, and realize that Peach and Zelda have been entrapped by cages held by [[Petey Piranha]].

Petey Piranha proceeds to attack Kirby, by swinging the cages at them. They dodge, and start to weaken the cages with his attacks. Kirby eventually defeats Petey Piranha, causing him to explode. One of the princesses lands next to Kirby, while the other is flung away on the other side of the arena. Suddenly, out of nowhere, [[Wario]] drops in, wielding an unusual machine. He notices Kirby and the rescued princess, but then turns around to the unrescued princess. He points his machine at her, and fires it. A black arrow projected from the device's nozzle, and strikes the unrescued princess, who is then transformed into a Trophy, which Wario promptly carries away.  Kirby and the rescued princess start to pursue him, but Kirby notices that the Subspace Bomb is about to explode. The stadium is then sucked into [[Subspace (SSB)|Subspace]], but Kirby and the rescued princess ride a [[Warp Star]] and escape the stadium.

Meanwhile, in Skyworld, Pit gazes at the stadium, and notices the devastating effects of the Subspace Bomb. He is then called forth by [[Palutena]], who gives him the Bow of Palutena. She sends Pit on a mission to save the world from the Subspace Army, and assist the others who are trying to save it. Pit then hurries off to the edge of Skyworld, and flies down to the world, to assist in saving it from the Subspace Army.  The Halberd appears over the space where Pit landed, creating more Primids. He defeats various Subspace enemies, until he eventually reaches a platform. Looking across the clouds, he sees the trophy of Mario sticking out. Hopping over to a platform concealed by the clouds, he turns Mario into a living being again. Once Mario recalls the events that have previously happened to him, the two understand that they are working towards the same goal, and head off.

[[Image:Brawl_DKStory.jpg|thumb|Enemies stealing [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Banana Hoard]].]]
Elsewhere, in an island jungle, a [[Hammer Bro.]] and a [[Goomba]] pile [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Banana Hoard]] onto a hovercraft, which they proceed to drive away. Upon battling several of the [[Koopa Troop]]'s minions (even smashing a [[Koopa Troopa]] into the ground, similar to ''[[Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat]]''), Donkey Kong readies to follow the Hammer Bro. and the Goomba, and get his treasured Banana Hoard back. The Goomba jumps down from the pile onto two cannons, which fires three Bullet Bills towards him. Out from the foliage behind, [[Diddy Kong]] appears, with two Peanut Popguns, and intercepts them all. Both Donkey Kong and his friend, Diddy Kong, set off after the Banana Hoard thieves. Upon finding it, they are encountered by Bowser, who wields the same device held by Wario. Bowser proceeds to turn Donkey Kong into a trophy, doing so just as Donkey Kong punches Diddy into the sky, sending him away.

Meanwhile, Kirby and the rescued princess are chased by the Halberd. They are forced to land on it, but an [[Arwing]] appears. It swiftly dodges the beams that are fired at it from the Halberd, until a claw-like device is projected from the Halberd, slamming into the Arwing. The Arwing flies downward in smoke, knocking off Kirby and the rescued princess off the surface of the Halberd on its way. Apparently, the Arwing is knocked out of the skies by the Halberd, and lands on [[Donkey Kong Island]].

Meanwhile, Diddy Kong starts to swing through the jungle. When he reaches a pond, he notices a damaged Arwing near the lake. As he heads towards it, [[Rayquaza]] emerges from the lake, and sets the Arwing aflame with a Dragon Pulse. As Diddy stares in fear and awe, Rayquaza quickly snatches him and flies back into the lake. [[Fox McCloud]] is ejected from the destroyed Arwing, and uses [[Fox Illusion]] to swift pass the dragon's hand, causing it to release Diddy. As Rayquaza uses another Dragon Pulse, Fox uses his [[Reflector]], which deflects the attack back at Rayquaza, causing it to retreat back into the lake, though it recuperates and a battle ensues. Following Rayquaza's defeat, Diddy literally drags Fox into his dilemma.

In the meanwhile, [[Lucas]] is walking through what looks like the remains of a ruined city. Close to tears, he is attacked by [[Primid]]s and a living statue of [[Pokey Minch]]. [[Ness]] appears and destroys the statue. Unfortunatly though, Pokey himself appears in a spider mech and attacks both of the boys, but they defeat him. Afterwards, Wario appears on a large hill and repeatedly tries to attack Ness with his strange type of gun. He fails, then aims for Lucas. Ness pushes Lucas out of the way, just as the shot was about to get him, meaning Ness ends up turning into a trophy. Wario jumps down from the hill and confiscates the trophy. Lucas runs away terrified as Wario cackles in the rain.

Fortunatly, he runs into the [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Both are attacked by more Primids. Pokemon Trainer's only Pokemon, Squirtle, joins Lucas and they destroy the team of Primids. The Trainer leaves, but Lucas reflects on his recent misfortune and runs after him. The ruins of a recent battle are shown. Two R.O.B.s open a subspace bomb in the area and it goes off, destroying the area. 

[[Marth]] looks at the explosion, and looks down from the castle top he is on, and sees a team of Primids, whom he defeats. He looks up into the sky and sees [[Meta Knight]] coming out of the sky. They start battling thinking they are enemies, but they are interupted by more Primids. After Marth and Meta Knight both start attacking the Primids they realize they're on the same team. They decide to team up. After defeating the Primids, they catch up to the Ancient Minister, who is carrying a Subspace Bomb. They try to knock it down, but, out of nowwhere, [[Ike]] comes and destroys the bomb. The Ancient Minister retreats and the trio of swordsman move on to catch him. Unfortunatly, they are too late when they reached the end of a cliff, and can move no further.

In another area, a team of [[Waddle Dee]]s come from behind [[Luigi]], who is scared to death. By Luigi's suprise, [[King Dedede]] suddenly appears and with his hammer, attacks him. He launches him into the sky, turning him into a trophy. Dedede retreats as Wario comes by with a trophy carrier containing Ness and either Peach or Zelda. Wario notices the Luigi trophy and springs on it but it was a trap as the Waddle Dees attack him. Dedede takes all three trophies as Wario looks up, dazed and confused, and angrliy yells at the dissappearing car.

In a deep forest, [[Link]] is traveling, intent on getting something with [[Navi]] by his side. He walks up to a stone with the Master Sword sticking out, and pulls it out. As he leaves, he passes a sleeping [[Yoshi]] on a stump. Link stops in his tracks, and sees the Halberd flying overhead. He gets his sword ready while a confused Yoshi joins him. After passing through the forest, they look up at the leaving Halberd.

On a floating island base, [[Zero Suit Samus]] is breaking in. She loads her gun and runs through the base. She ends up in a testing room, with [[Pikachu]] being tested. Pikachu is getting shocked painfully, but Samus destroys the testing tube Pikachu is in. Unfortunately, this sets off an alarm, and a team of R.O.B.s attack them. They pass through them, and end up in a surveillance room. Samus then sees what she was looking for, her [[Power Suit]].

Meanwhile, Kirby and the rescued princess are in a long field. Suddenly Dedede drives by and Kirby runs after him, leaving the princess alone. [[Bowser]] then sneaks up from behind the princess and turns her into a trophy, which is subsequently cloned by a giant clone of Bowser. Link/Mario and Yoshi/Pit run by her without noticing. The Peach/Zelda clone attempts to turn them into a trophy, but the gun is cut in half by Link/Mario and Yoshi/Pit. They defeat her, and her glowing self dissappears and turns back into a trophy.  Mario/Link was watching the entire thing and attempts to punch/slash Link/Mario. Link/Mario manages to dodge it, and the two teams battle each other. The losing teammates are turned into trophies, which are grabbed by an arm from King Dedede's car as he's speeding away. Fortunatley, Kirby breaks the arm and turns Link/Mario and Yoshi/Pit back to normal. King Dedede retreats while Mario, Link, Kirby, Yoshi, and Pit pursue him.

In a control room, [[Ganondorf]] orders Bowser to track down Dedede, and gives him his location. Lucas and Pokémon Trainer are by a tall anticline, and see [[Charizard]] flying into a cave.  They follow Charizard through what appears to be the ruins of a temple, where Wario appears. Lucas remembers who he is, and they attack. After Wario is turned into a trophy, Lucas remembers Ness again and wonders where his trophy is. He and Pokémon Trainer hear a growl within the mountain and continue the search for Charizard.

Meanwhile, King Dedede is in his castle, looking at his trophies of the princess, Luigi, and Ness. He puts a cap with his face on it on all of them, until Bowser attacks the castle with his minions and takes the princess's trophy. Link, Mario, Yoshi, Pit, and Kirby enter Dedede's castle and notice a hole in the wall, which they enter. They chase Bowser all the way out of the castle and to a cliff. Mario attempts to attack Bowser, but he uses Peach as a shield and is forced to stand down. 

Pit shoots an arrow at Bowser which he dodges, falling off of the cliff while Peach loses her cap. Bowser ends up in his [[Koopa Clown Car]], and flies away with her to the Halberd. Kirby looks at the fallen cap, confused. Meanwhile, the Ancient Minister plants a bomb at Dedede's castle, which explodes and sends it to Subspace. Ganondorf is watching on a monitor, and [[Master Hand]] appears on it, seeming to order Ganondorf to do something. Ganondorf complies, and bows down. 

Meanwhile, the Pokémon Trainer, Lucas, and Squirtle fight through a cave. They find a trophy of [[Ivysaur]], which the Pokémon Trainer retrieved into a Pokeball. They continue to fight through the cave, until they find Charizard. They fight Charzard, and Pokemon trainer captures Charzard with his Pokeball. The two eventually end up in a tower.

Marth, Ike, and Meta Knight fight Primids in a Desert. They also fight other creatures. They end up looking at a vehicle. It transforms into a purple monster with a lot of armor. After they beat it up it falls into a ruin and the floor collapses. The monster falls down the hole into the tower Lucas and Pokemon Trainer were in. They fight him but he grabs them. He shoots out of the place. Meta Knight shoots the monster and grabs the two. Wario's trophy gets sucked in an explosion. Pokemon Trainor and Lucas being carried by Meta Knight meet up with Marth and Ike. Pit shoots at the Ancient Minister who avoids the attack. Pit, Mario, Yoshi, Kirby, and Link chase after him. They fight enimies in a desert area. 

While they are fighting, two R.O.B.s detonate a bomb. Pit and Mario start attacking but are grabbed by two other R.O.B.s and taken away. The Ancient Minister watches sadly as the R.O.B.s wave at him as he leaves. The bomb explodes, however Mario hops on Yoshi and everyone else hops on Kirby's Warp Star and they all leave the area.

Fox fight through the Donkey Kong Island with Diddy Kong. Eventually, they see Bowser. Bowser shoots Diddy and attempts to shoot Fox. However, soon, [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]] arrives and shoots Bowser with his own gun. Diddy transforms into a giant evil Diddy. Bowser flies away in his Koopa Clown Car. After defeating giant Diddy, the three continue through the jungle. They see a ship with Donkey Kong's statue and scream at it. 

Meanwhile, Pikachu and Zero Suit Samus go through a warehouse like place. A bunch of Samus clones cmes out of nowhere. After they defeat them an alarm goes off and R.O.B's come from everywhere. Samus gets on her Power Suit on and shoots them all. They continue along, however soon, [[Ridley]] flies by, grabbing Samus and scraping her against a wall. Pikachu [[Thunderbolt]]s Ridley and Ridley lets go of Samus who falls on the ground weakened however she manages to get up. They fight Ridley, defeating him. They end up outside seeing a bomb. 

[[Pikmin]] start to hit a giant R.O.B. somewhere else. R.O.B. simply spins around knocking them all off and killing them. [[Captain Olimar]] is shocked and scared, however his Red Pikmin tells him about a new visitor. The [[Blue Falcon]] speeds through the forest. [[Captain Falcon]] jumps out of the car [[Falcon Punch]]es the robot and it explodes but he also accidentally kills a bunch of Pikmin during the process. The two decide to team up and they run along some old ruins fighting things. They notice Fox's ship and the one with Donkey Kong. Diddy shoots the ship and Captain Falcon and Captain Olimar run to assist.

Please note that all bosses (with the exception of [[Taboo]]) reappear a second time during the final level.

==Gameplay==
A new battle mechanic will be the [[Final Smash]], that is triggered by collecting a [[Smash Ball]]. Another new battle mechanic is that players will be able to walk and jump while using projectile-shooting items, like the [[Super Scope]]. Some characters have also been seen crawling. However, it is disputable whether all characters have this ability, as only a few were able to perform the [[Wall Jump]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Additionally, a new technique called the [[Footstool Jump]] will be in the game. It allows players to jump on an opposing player's head, and spring up by pressing the jump button at the right time. Players will be able to perform Meteor Smashes by doing this as well. The [[Tether Recovery]] will be a new tactic in the game. It allows players to grab onto ledges, using chain-like items, such as a [[Plasma Whip]] or a [[Clawshot]]. [[Gliding]] will also be a technique in this game, available only to characters with wings. When used, players will be able to glide across the stage, and be able to control the way they fly. They can direct themselves upwards, or downwards, depending on the Button Combination used. The game also features three different [[Taunt]]s for each character.

The game will be controlled with one of the four controlling methods:
{| align=center border=1 cellspaing=0 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse; textalign:center"

|-
|[[Image:DefaultClassic.jpg|260px]]
|[[Image:DefaultGameCube.jpg|260px]]
|-
! [[Wii Classic Controller]]
! [[Nintendo GameCube]] Controller
|}
There are a few differences between the controller methods. The Nintendo GameCube controller is the only one capable of the rumble effect. The Wii Remote turned on its side only allows one taunt of a total of three available in the other control methods. The Wii Remote + Nunchuk Attachment has a special feature, the Shake Smash, allowing the player to execute Smash Attacks into the direction they shake the controller to. The Classic Controller, Wii Remote + Nunchuk Attachment and the GameCube controller also have a function which disables the jump by tapping the control stick upwards. This makes it easier to execute attack moves upwards, but forces the player to use different buttons for jumping (C or D-Pad Up on the Nunchuk, or X/Y on the Classic and GameCube controller).

The execution of standard combos has been made easier; the A button does no longer have to be hit repeatedly, it is enough to hold it down for the character to start a combo attack.

Players will be able to set their own button configuration rather than have to play with the default configuration. The configuration can be saved on the Wii Remote's internal memory, allowing to take them to a friend's and play with one's own button configuration there. People will be able to type in names, like Tom or John, just like in the game. While names were only a gimmick in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', they now also save the player's controlling options to avoid selecting the control method again each time.

==Modes==
===Solo===
====Subspace Emissary====
[[Image:Subspace_Emissary_Map.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The World Map of the Subspace Emissary.]]
The Subspace Emissary will make use of a team system. Two players can play in the Subspace Emissary at one time, with the first player being the protagonist, and the second player being an optional supporting character. Due to the camera following the main character, if the second character ends up off screen from the stage scroll, he or she will automatically warp straight back to the main hero. The main screen shows where to go next, and the character selection screen allows the player to choose his or her team. If Player 1 is defeated, and Player 2 is not, the game will still be over.

In single player, teams are still available. However, the second character will be a CPU, and if the main character is defeated, the player takes control of the second player, until he or she, too, is defeated. The player is able to use [[Stickers|Sticker]] power-ups for the mode. The stickers are arranging on the character's [[Trophy Stand]] and give bonuses on Launch Power, Launch Resistance, and powers and resistances to several attacks like Arm, Weapon, Slash, Electric and Flame. The effects vary from sticker to sticker. When the player dies and get a [[Game Over]], he or she will lose half of their stickers.

It has been stated that most unlockable characters of the game will be unlocked by playing the ''Subspace Emissary'' mode. The Adventure mode comes in the difficulty settings ''Easy'', ''Normal'', ''Hard'', ''Very Hard'' and ''Intense'', which can be selected on the World Map.
[[Image:Brawl_Classic_Mode.jpg|thumb|[[Link]] acting as the first opponent.]]

====Boss Battle Mode====
This mode is unlocked after the player completes the Subspace Emissary. It allows a character to fight the bosses with one life and health enemies, similar to All-star. Players can set 5 levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and Intense. A video can be seen here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=l_s5fwuH-Ik
====Classic Mode====
Classic Mode returns from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', acting the exact same way. Players pick a character, and then continue through a barrage of fights. Each stage appears in a certain order, with a Legend of Zelda stage appearing first, and a Pokémon stage appearing third. Like the last game, certain conditions are set in a few matches. A few examples are the player and two teammates fighting a giant opponent, or the player having to fight a [[Metal Box|metal]] version of another player. A small heart will appear next to a teammates logo. When a level is finished, the score will be added up, and coins will be earned. These can be used in the Coin Launcher.

====Events====
''Events'' are an updated version of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Event Matches. They are pre-definded missions to be solved by the player. Each event is represented by a small preview screenshot on the event list, and a difficulty (Easy &ndash; Normal &ndash; Hard) can be selected. Several events are also avaiable in the co-op mode, which allows two players at a time to play. In this mode, they cooperate, and cannot fight each other. Known events are:

====Stadium====
The Stadium offers several mini-games, as previously in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Some modes from the predecessor are returning.
[[Image:sandybrawlbag.jpg|thumb|Mario along with Sandbag and a Bat.]]

=====Home-Run Contest=====
The [[Home-Run Contest]] returns with quite a few differences. A shield surrounds the platform, preventing players from accidentally pushing [[Sandbag]] off the platform, or falling from it themselves. Two players can work together in cooperative play, with the two having to work together in order to set a good record. Two players can also challenge each other in two player alternating play, which features two characters taking turns to see who can knock Sandbag the farthest. Both of these modes can be played in Wi-Fi Connection mode, under the ''With Friends'' mode.

=====Target Smash!!=====
Also available in the Stadium mode is the [[Break the Targets!|Target Smash!!]], a slightly altered mode of the ''Target Test'' from the previous games. There are five different stages all characters can play on, and the results can be sent to other players via the Wi-Fi Connection. It is also possible to play the Target Smash!! with two players simultaneously.

=====Multi-Man Brawl=====
[[Image:Multimanselection.jpg|thumb|left|145px|Selection Screen.]]
Another returning feature is the Multi-Man Brawl, known as Multi-Man Melee in the previous game.  In this mode, players fight the enormous [[Fighting Alloy Team]].  Objectives include defeating a certain number of Alloys, fighting them off for a set period of time, or fighting endlessly for a high score.

New additions to the mode include its inclusion in two-player mode, whereas in ''Melee'' the mode was strictly single player.  The [[Fighting Wire Frame]]s have been replaced by the Alloys.  While there were only two types of Wire Frames, there are four types of Alloys.  Masahiro Sakurai has not yet specified the differences between the fighting styles of the four enemies.

====Training====
The ''Training'' mode returns from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It allows the player to learn to play the game properly, or to experiment with certain functions and items. The player fights one to three characters, which are controlled by the CPU, which performs actions set by the player, or does not move at all. The player can create any item to test it, as well as the Smash Ball to practice Final Smashes. The hit damage of the CPU can be predefined, and the game can be put in slow motion.

===Group===
====Brawl====
[[Image:Brawl_Brawl.jpg|left|thumb|Choosing alternate characters for the start of a match.]]
The Brawl mode which was playable at the October Nintendo event featured a simple two minute time match, but there are going to be other modes in the full game as well, such as the [[Smash Coin|Coin Battle]]. In the demo, the players can select their characters, who also have alternate costumes, and choose the stage to play on. As the battle begins, each character appears with their specific entrance. For example, Samus comes out of a teleporter and Mario out of a [[Warp Pipe]]. These entrances were present in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', but not in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.

As in the last two games, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' also has ''Handicaps'' to help beginners in battles. However, this time, handicaps do not make a player weaker the more times he/she is knocked out, but instead, change a players starting damage percentage. For example, one player can start at 0% of damage, but the other starts at 50%, even after he/she has been knocked out. This allows players to test their skills, or just to give them a challenge, as well as helping beginners learn the basics.

For characters with distinct forms, the character selection screen allows the player to choose with which to start. This means characters like Zelda can be used to select Sheik. Depending on the choice, that will be the character the player starts as in the beginning of the match. 
[[Image:BrawlBunnyHood.jpg|thumb|The "Bunny Brawl" setting.]]

====Special Brawl====
A new feature is the ''Special Brawl''. Using this, players are able to customize the battle themselves. This means they can attach items, set stats, and add appearance differences to all the players, right from the start of the battle, without having to collect the items themselves. The Special Brawl, thus, allows players to try a variety of settings such as Invisible Bunny Brawl, instead of the settings given on a certain type of battle (as seen in previous with the Special Melee modes in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'').

====Rotation====
The ''Rotation'' mode is an enhanced version of the ''Winner Out/Loser Out'' Tournament modes of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It allows more than four players to play at the same system, by passing the controllers on after each battle. Up to sixteen players can be put into the queue, with each given the possibility to use their name and their personal controller configuration. However, this is not required. There is still the option between ''Winner Out'' and ''Loser Out'', where the winner or the loser of the match pass the controller on to the next player after the match, respectively. Additionally, players have the option to pause, i. e. moving themselves at the end of the queue. The mode is available when two or more controllers are connected to the Wii. It remains unconfirmed whether players will be able to change their characters while the mode is ongoing, as it was the case in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.

====Tourney====
The ''Tourney Mode'' from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' (then "Tournament Mode") will be returning, acting the exact same way as it did in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Players are able to brawl in a tourney, that can have up to 32 players, and will have to fight their way to the championship, eventually earning a cup if they win. It is possible to play with friends, or battle CPU characters. Apart from decreasing the total number of players from 64 to 32, nothing appears to have been changed from the ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' version.

===Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection===
[[Image:BrawlWi-Fi.jpg|thumb|left|The main Wi-Fi menu.]]
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was confirmed to be in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. However, similar to what happened with ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', the game tends to slow down and fail a lot more the further the players are. So, playing a game from Japan to America will slow the game down, and cause some problems in the battle. Regardless, the game is still capable of connecting overseas. The two modes are ''With Friends'' and ''With Anyone''.

When playing with friends, players use friend codes in order to brawl with each other. They choose an emblem to represent themselves. Emblems can be the games' series emblems, the characters' icons or [[Mii]]s. In this mode, players are able to send messages to each other in-game, using the [[Taunt]] command. Players can send four different kinds of messages, one for each direction: up, down, left, and right. Results are recorded only in this mode. The [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stadium|Homerun Contest]] is also playable in this mode.

[[Image:Multimenbrawl.jpg|thumb|The ''With Friends'' mode selection screen.]]
When brawling in the ''With Anyone'' setting, players are unable to send messages to each other in-game, and neither can they see the name or details of their opponent. Also, the results of the battle are not recorded in the ''With Anyone'' mode. There are several modes in the ''With Anyone'' setting. In the ''Basic Brawl'', players play against each other without teams. When a player disconnects from the Wi-Fi connection while battling, a CPU takes over his or her character. Unlockable characters are also available in this setting for a player who has unlocked them. Because of this, Nintendo recommends players not to use the ''Basic Brawl'' setting if one is not wanting to get the unlockable characters spoiled. A different mode in the ''With Anyone'' setting is the ''Team Brawl'', which has yet to be revealed. While the game is loading, or while the players are waiting for other opponents, they can practice the game by attacking the [[Sandbag]] from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It has also been revealed that players can choose to be spectators of the battle, and even bet coins on who will win.

===Stage Builder===
[[Image:Stage_Builder.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Stage Builder in action.]]
Players create custom stages using this mode. When making the stage, players first pick the size of the stage, and then creating a background pattern, as well as the music that will play on the stage (with only the music tracks found on [[CD]] being playable). Once done, the player can start adding pieces to the stage, whether it be simple platforms to ladders to spikes. However, each of the four control types have different ways to move the pieces, however, they are all able to flip, resize, zoom, swap palettes and erase pieces of the stage. After building a fraction of the stage, it can be tested out before being saved. This can be done several times, if it is necessary. After the stage is finished, the name and comment can be chosen, as well as an option to change the music of the stage. It can be sent to other players via Wi-Fi Connection, but can also be sent directly to Nintendo using the "Submit" option on the Stage Builder screen. Every day, Nintendo will send a selected stage to every player with Wi-Fi and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', so they can try out the stages that other people have made. The stage gets removed after a day has passed, and a new one is brought in the next day. This allows players to make and try out new stages for themselves every day.
[[Image:CoinLauncher.jpg|thumb|Screen shot of an in session Coin Launcher.]]

===Coin Launcher===
The ''Coin Launcher'' is a mini-game available in the ''Vault'', replacing the ''Lottery mode'' from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. In this game, the player can use the coins which they have won in the Classic Mode, the Group mode or by betting on the winner in the Wi-Fi connection's ''Spectator Mode'', to get trophies and stickers. The player controls the Coin Launcher, a cannon that shoots with the coins the player has collected. By hitting the targets on the screen with coins, they can win various collectibles. Enemies also appear and if one of their rockets hits the Coin Launcher, the player will lose coins. There is also a green gauge on the screen which allows the player to rapid-fire coins for a short time when it is filled.

===Various Features===
Another inclusion is a feature called ''My Music''. Instead of restricting each stage to one music track, with some having an alternate music track, people can now choose which music track they want to play on the stage. For example, on the [[Delfino Plaza]] stage, players can choose between the Delfino Plaza theme from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the Castle Music/Fortress Boss from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the Ending/Title Screen of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', the main theme to ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', and many more. Players can set how commonly the track may appear on the stage. To add more music to the collection, the player must collect a [[CD]], which randomly appears across the entire game, in any of the numerous modes of play.

[[Trophy|Trophies]] have been confirmed to be returning in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. They act the same way, being collected the same way, but there are now new trophies, and they are more easily stored, as an image of the trophy will be seen when selecting a trophy. They can also be displayed the same way they were in ''Melee''. Another new feature, is that many trophies can be placed together on the same spot, making it seem like a "play". There are also more backgrounds, that can add to this new feature.

Throughout the game, players will be rewarded with [[stickers]]. Like trophies, these items reflect characters, objects, and places that have appeared throughout Nintendo's history. Unlike trophies, however, the items will be much easier to find and are simply pieces of 2D game artwork rather than actual new 3D models. Stickers will be stored in an album and can be used to decorate a screen in an extra mode.

[[Image:BrawlChallenges.jpg|thumb|The Challenges screen.]]
All three kinds of collectibles in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', trophies, stickers and CDs can be alternately won in the Challenges mode. The Challenge mode has many closed doors which contain the prizes. When the player unlocks an item by winning a challenge, for example playing the Target Smash level 1 with 10 different characters for the Stafy trophy, the collectibles left and right to Stafy's trophy, which are currently not won and invisible, appear in a red silhouette, and their method of unlocking is displayed. The player can also win Golden Hammers, which he can use to automatically get any door of his or her choice open, getting the item inside. However, not all doors can be destroyed with a hammer.

Throughout the game, the player is able to take screenshots while pausing the game. In contrast to ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', there is thus no special camera mode needed. The screenshots are either saved on the Wii's internal memory or an SD card.

In the special ''Masterpieces'' mode, the player can play restricted demo versions of classical Nintendo games via the Virtual Console. The player does not have to connect to the Wi-Fi connection for that. The available demos are:


*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
*''Ice Climber''
*''The Legend of Zelda'' (NES)
*''Kid Icarus''
*''Kirby's Adventure''
*''Fire Emblem''<ref name="jp">[http://www.smashbros.com/jp/gamemode/various/various23.html "Masterpieces" on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! - Japanese Edition], accessed 2008-1-25.</ref>
*''Super Metroid''
*''Earthbound''<ref name="jp"/>
*''Star Fox 64''

Some must be unlocked. These games include:

*''[[Donkey Kong]]'' (Play for 10 hours or more total.)
*''[[Super Mario World]]'' (Play on Yoshi's Island (Melee) 3 times.)
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' (Play as Peach and win 5 matches in VS Mode.)
*''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' (Play as Toon Link 10 times in VS Mode.)
*''F-Zero'' (Beat Boss Battle Mode with Captain Falcon.)

Some titles have a restricted time they can be played in, others, like ''Super Metroid'', come with save data.

==Playable Characters==
[[Image:BRAWLARTCOVER.PNG|thumb|190px|An assortment of characters.]]
With thirty-five playable characters, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' has ten more characters than the previous installment. Twenty-one characters are available from the start, while the other fourteen need to be unlocked.

==Critical Reception==
The game was already reviewed by the Japanese Famitsu magazine before the actual release. In the review, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' received a score of 40/40. The magazine praised the game's lengthy single player mode as well as the "surprising" Final Smash moves. However, the magazine's independent judgement was questioned<ref>[http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/01/smash-bros-gets.html Smash Bros. Gets Perfect Score From Famitsu - Wired Blog Network], published 2008-1-16.</ref>. ''Nintendo Power'' also gave ''Brawl'' a perfect score. It noted the unique dynamics of each character, and that the stages were less "gimmicky" than those in ''Melee''.
