'''''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''''', known in Japan as '''''Dairantō Smash Brothers X''''' (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズX, lit. "Great Melee Smash Brothers X"), is a fighting game for the [[Wii]]. It is the third game in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], preceded by ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. The game was designed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]], who also created the preceeding ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, and developed by a team especially created for it. The game uses a game engine called Havok that mainly focuses on the game physics.<ref>[http://gonintendo.com/?p=34360 Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Havok engine confrimed - GoNintendo], published 2008-1-28.</ref>

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 delayed 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> It was released in Australia on June 26, 2008 and in Europe on June 27, 2008.<ref name="eu"/>

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. There has been a replacement program.<ref name="disk"/> The game requires 128 blocks of Wii internal memory.<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, etc. 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>  Also, the game data can't be copied, so players are not able to transfer the data onto another Wii, but players can still send replays, snapshots, and custom stages onto other Wii systems.

==Gameplay==
A new battle mechanic is the [[Final Smash]], which can be used only by collecting a [[Smash Ball]]. Also, players are able to walk and jump while using projectile-shooting items, like the [[Super Scope]]. 

As a new feature in the game, certain characters can crawl. These characters are: [[Bowser]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Ivysaur]], [[Lucario]], [[Luigi]], [[Pikachu]], [[Sheik]], [[Solid Snake]], [[Squirtle]], [[Wario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Mario]] and [[Zero Suit Samus]].

A new technique called the [[Footstool Jump]] is introduced. It allows players to jump on an opposing player's head, and spring up by pressing the jump button at the right time. Players are be able to perform Meteor Smashes by doing this as well. The [[Tether Recovery]] is a returning tactic in the game. It allows players to grab onto ledges, using chain-like items, such as a [[Plasma Whip]] or a [[Hookshot]]. [[Gliding]] is also a technique in this game, available only to characters with wings. When used, players are 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 direction the "movement" button is pointed in. 

Another feature not present in the past two games is [[Slipping]]. Any character can slip. The feature has no upside for the player that slips, only creating their opponents a chance to batter them. Players can slip when trying to run suddenly, going down slopes, or even slipping on a [[Banana|Banana Peel]].

The game also features three different [[Taunt]]s for each character, while the past games only featured one taunt. Snake is the only character that has all identical taunts. 

The game can be controlled with one of the four controlling methods:
{| align=center border=1 cellspaing=0 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse; textalign:center"
|-
|[[Image:DefaultWiiRemote.jpg|260px]]
|[[Image:DefaultNunchuk.jpg|260px]]
|-
! [[Wii Remote]] (turned on its side)
! [[Wii Remote]] + [[Nunchuk Attachment]]
|-
|[[Image:DefaultClassic.jpg|260px]]
|[[Image:DefaultGameCube.jpg|260px]]
|-
! [[Wii Classic Controller]]
! [[Nintendo GameCube Controller]]
|}

There are a few differences between the controller 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; For many characters, the A button does no longer have to be hit repeatedly, but it is enough to hold it down for the character to start a combo attack. The effects, however, usually differ.

Players are 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. The [[Player]] is able to insert names, up to five letters, as in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. While previously names were only a gimmick, they now also save the player's controlling options to avoid having to select the control method again each time.

==Playable Characters==
[[Image:SSBBfullcast.png|thumbnail|left|The entire cast.]]
With 35 playable characters, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' has ten more characters than the previous installment. 21 characters are available from the start, while the other fourteen need to be unlocked to become playable. Only five of the characters from the previous game aren't playable in this game which is [[Pichu]], [[Dr. Mario]], [[Mewtwo]], [[Young Link]] and [[Roy (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Roy]]. Additionally, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is the first game to feature third-party characters as playable characters: [[Sonic]] and [[Solid Snake]]. The Special Moves and Final Smash for each character are listed on the right-side column.

==Items==
Items randomly appear on any stage in the game, and in standard Brawl mode, the player can choose to ban certain items from appearing or increase/decrease the frequency of items appearing. In Classic and All Star mode, these options cannot be modified. Certain items from particular game series appear more frequently than they would on other stages, such as [[Banana Peel|Banana Peels]] on Donkey Kong stages, [[Poké Ball|Poké Balls]] on Pokémon stages, etc.

====Subspace Emissary====
[[Image:Subspace_Emissary_Map.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The World Map of the Subspace Emissary.]]
{{main|Subspace Emissary}}
The Subspace Emissary is the game's adventure mode. Unlike Melee's [[Adventure Mode]], it has a story and co-op multiplayer is an option. Players can use stickers to increase his/her attacks and items.

====Classic Mode====
[[Image:Brawl_Classic_Mode.jpg|thumb|The loading screen before each level of Classic Mode, with [[Link]] acting as the first opponent.]]
Classic Mode returns from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', acting the exact same way. Players pick a character, and then go 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 version of an opponent, or the player having to fight a [[Metal Box|metal]] version of another player. A small heart will appear next to a teammate's logo in the matches with allies. When a level is finished, the score will be added up, and coins will be earned. These can be used in the Coin Launcher. Clearing this Mode will give the player a trophy of the character used to complete it. <ref> When finishing it as Zelda or Sheik the player can only get the trophy of her current form, unlike in Melee where they received both. The same applies to Samus and Zero Suit Samus. Classic must be cleared three times with the Pokémon Trainer to obtain all the trophies, clearing it only rewards the player with the trophies of the Trainer and the Pokémon in use when it was cleared. </ref>

|-
![[Image:MasterHandBrawl.jpg|140px]]
| align=center | [[Master Hand]]
| The final boss of Classic mode, the right hand, Master Hand is sometimes referred to as the "manifestation of creative spirit" in the Smash Bros. universe. Master Hand's existence is still a shadowed one, therefore little is known of it.
|-
![[Image:CrazyHandBrawl.jpg|140px]]
| align=center | [[Crazy Hand]]
| While Master Hand is the "manifestation of creative spirit", the left hand, Crazy Hand is the "manifestation of destructive spirit". In Classic Mode, Crazy Hand appears only if the player has arrived at the final stage with the difficulty at Hard or above with no continues, and the player must have arrived at the final stage in 9 minutes or less. However, if the player loses against the two hands when fighting them, Crazy Hand will not appear to assist Master Hand.
|}

====All-Star Mode====
All-Star mode returns from ''Melee'', while basically the same it has had some slight modifications. It can now be played with two players and opponents are now sorted by Series rather than in a random order. No more than two foes will appear at the time. The Pokémon Level has the most enemies as Pokémon Trainer will use each Pokémon separately.  It is unlocked by unlocking all the characters. Beating rewards the player with a a trophy of the current charcter preforming their Final Smash. Also, if All-Star is beaten with Co-op mode, Final Smash Trophies of both characters will be rewarded.<ref>Finishing it as Zelda or Sheik does not give the player the other's trophy, it must be cleared twice. The same applies to Samus and Zero Suit Samus. All-Star only needs to be cleared once for Pokémon Trainer, unlike Classic.</ref>  The order of the fights are also the order the games came out. Also, in Co-Op mode, the players must fight two Olimars in the last level.

====Events====
''Events'' are an updated version of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Event Matches. They are pre-defined missions to be completed by the player; most of them have the objective of defeating certain opponents. 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 available in the co-op mode, which allows two players at a time to play. In this mode, they cooperate, thus cannot fight each other. The events are:

====Stadium====
The Stadium offers several mini-games, as previously in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and one new mode.
[[Image:sandybrawlbag.jpg|thumb|Mario along with Sandbag and a [[Home-Run 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. However, the shield will shatter if it is knocked around by the Sandbag too much. The shield will disappear when the ten seconds are up. 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 ''[[Break the Targets!|Target Smash!!]]'', a slightly altered mode of the ''Target Test'' from the previous games. There are five different levels that all characters can play on, and the replays can be sent to other players via the Wi-Fi Connection. It is also possible to play ''Target Smash!!'' with two players simultaneously.

=====Multi-Man Brawl=====
[[Image:Multimanselection.jpg|thumb|left|145px|The Selection Screen for Multi-Man Brawl.]]
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. 10 Man, 100 Man, 3 Minute, 15 minute, Endless and Cruel Settings all return. Various rewards from the challenges section are obtained in this mode.

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. All alloys resemble and act like a certain character. Red Alloys act like Captain Falcon, Blue Alloys act like Zelda, Yellow Alloys act like Mario, and Green Alloys act like Kirby.

=====Boss Battle Mode=====
This mode is similar to All-star mode, except the player must fight all of the bosses that appear in the game. The player is provided only with three Heart Containers that heal all damage, and he/she only have one life. Unlike All-star, however, enemies are in random order(except for the final boss, Tabuu), and there is no option to continue after being defeated; players are instead taken directly back to the Character Select Screen. If the mode is cleared, the time taken is recorded for the high score. If not, the number of bosses defeated will be. Players can set the difficultly level to the same ones as other modes: Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, or Intense.  The difficulty levels will affect how fast the bosses will move, along with how much damage their attacks will inflict.

It is unlocked by clearing Subspace Emissary for the first time, and by defeating Classic Mode at least once. Also, like All-Star mode, Boss Battle Mode can be played with two players simultaneously. If done so, there will be five Heart Containers total at the healing area.

====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 can be controlled by the CPU, the player, or 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 or quick motion.

===Group===
====Brawl====
[[Image:Brawl_Brawl.jpg|left|thumb|Choosing alternate characters for the start of a match.]]
Very similar to previous games, in which 2-4 players or computers may battle. 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''., for unknown reasons.

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. The handicap can be from 0% to 300%. 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, by clicking the name. 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 his/her name and his/her 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") is in ''Brawl'', 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 must 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 has 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 is a new feature in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. However, similar to what happened with ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]'', the game tends to slow down and fail when the players are playing far away. The further away the players are from each other, the more the problem worsens. 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|Home-run Contest]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stadium|Multi-Man Brawl]] are 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. However, the rules are set to 2-Minute Brawl and cannot be changed. However, players can individually change their item settings. The game will randomly use the item setting of one of the combatants. If there are less than 4 players, there will sometimes be CPU enemies present. When a player disconnects from the Wi-Fi connection while battling, a CPU takes over his/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''. 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''. 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.]]
[[Image:Classic mario stage.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] on a stage from stage builder (notice the stage looks like classic Mario/Luigi.)]]
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 from the game that will play on the stage. 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 he/she 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 the Coin Launcher in use.]]

===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 uses the coins which they have won in the Classic Mode, the Subspace Emissary, 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. Several moving objects appear at regular intervals, of which there are a few different types. Each different type moves in a different formation and direction across the screen. If the player shoots all the enemies in a particular group formation, the player will often gain a sticker as a reward. However, the main aim of this game is to hit the Trophies to win them. These appear quite regularly, and move across the screen in a random path, although these are predetermined. A trophy must be hit with 2 to 4 coins to be collected. There are some hazards in this game; mainly the missiles which appear and aim for the Coin Launcher. Each one takes 2 hits to destroy, but some move much faster than others, and occasionally a large group will appear all at once. If a missile hits the Coin Launcher, the player loses 10 coins, and a special green gauge decreases. This gauge, located  on the bottom left corner of the screen, if filled up completely,  allows the player to rapid-fire coins for a short time when it is filled. It is filled slightly whenever a missile is destroyed, or a certain number of moving objects.

===Other Features===
====My Music====
[[Image:Mymusic.jpg|thumb|right|'''My Music'''.]]
Rather than restricting each stage to one music track, stages have a selection of music tracks usually from the game series the stage is from, and players can choose which music track they want to play on the stage using the My Music mode. For example, on the [[Delfino Plaza]] stage, players can choose between the Delfino Plaza theme from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', 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 [[CD]]s, which randomly appear across the entire game, in many of the numerous modes of play. After all music tracks have been collected, the CD will appear no more.

====Trophies====
[[Trophy|Trophies]] return in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. They act the same way, some 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 dioramas. There are also more backgrounds that can add to this new feature.

====Stickers====
Throughout the game, players can find [[Sticker|Stickers]], which show up at random points during Brawls. Unlike trophies, however, the items will be much easier to find and are simply pieces of 2D game artwork rather than 3D models. Stickers are stored in an album and can be used to decorate a screen in the Sticker Center. They can also be used to power up characters in the Subspace Emissary. Stickers however have one use and once used, the player cannot acquire them back unless he/she collects a copy of the sticker being used to power up the character in Subspace Emissary.

====Challenges====
{{main|Challenges (SSBB)}}

[[Image:BrawlChallenges.jpg|thumb|The Challenges screen.]]
All three kinds of collectibles in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', trophies, stickers and CDs can be alternatively won in the Challenges mode. The Challenge mode has many closed windows 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 window of his or her choice open, getting the item inside. However, not all windows can be destroyed with a hammer; objectives related to the Boss Battles mode cannot be opened.  There's a total of 128 objectives in the Challenges Mode.

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

====Replays====
A new feature in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is Replays. This can be used on Brawl Mode, Target Smash!!, Home-run Contest, and Multi-man Brawl. They can be recorded by pressing Z after the brawl or the challenge has ended. The maximum time, however, for a replay to be recorded is 3 minutes. They can later be accessed from the Vault, and be replayed. Players can also submit Target Smash!! and Home-run Contest records to Nintendo, via WiiConnect24. However, the service was discontinued after June 30th, 2009.<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/index.html Smash Bros. DOJO!!] notice</ref>

====Masterpieces====
In this 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.]]'' (1:00)
*''Ice Climber'' (0:40)
*''The Legend of Zelda'' (NES) (2:00)
*''Kid Icarus'' (1:00)

*''Super Metroid'' (3:00)

==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''. The Official Nintendo Magazine, the UK equivalent of Nintendo Power rated it 95%, their main praise was that there was so much to unlock and the game itself was also enjoyable.

It also won the 2008-2009 Fighting Game of the Year award given by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences. After this happened, the game box was changed to include this award.
