This article is clearly a mode of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and I see no reason to allow it to stay as a separate article. The general rule of thumb has been to keep story related information on the game article itself. What makes this an exception? Despite the fact that this article has been around for a long time, I cannot seem to find any consensus to separate this article from the game's article.

== Recreate this article ==

{{Proposal outcome|failed|0-5|do not recreate}}
I'm making a proposal about recreating this article. While it involves the main ''Super Smash Bros.'' cast and its share of unique bosses and enemies, there are several ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]''-related elements in The Subspace Emissary. The proposal above argues that this is a mode, which is true, but it has a substantial amount of content.
The first stage, [[Midair Stadium]], involves a battle against [[Mario]] and [[Kirby]], the latter arguably also having large representation (given ''[[wikirby:Kirby Super Star|Kirby Super Star]]'' and [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s direct involvement with both), but this is about Mario. The first boss is [[Petey Piranha]], who is from the ''Mario'' games, and there is the choice to rescue either [[Princess Peach]] or [[Princess Zelda]], which changes the story accordingly. Then there's [[Wario]] and [[Bowser]] playing large antagonistic roles within the story. Also, the [[Subspace Army]] consists of [[Goomba]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s, who are the only members to not be original to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series (aside from the [[R.O.B.]]s and their derivatives).
The game is a 2.5D platformer essentially, and there could be a gameplay section to tell about some of the ''Mario''-related mechanics (for instance, [[The Jungle]] features [[Barrel Cannon]]s), although need to also discern what is from ''Kirby'' and what is staples of the platforming genre in general.
There are 31 stages. Of these, only [[The Ruined Zoo]], [[The Battlefield Fortress]], [[The Research Facility]] (parts 1 & 2), [[The Path to the Ruins]], [[The Ruins]], [[The Wilds]] (Part 1), [[The Ruined Hall]], [[The Glacial Peak]], [[Battleship Halberd Interior]], and [[The Subspace Bomb Factory]] (part 1) are the only stages to not have Mario characters. Even then, a few of the cases are followed by a second part in which a ''Mario'' character is playable (take The Wilds Part 2 for instance, or even some stages directly after, like [[Battleship Halberd Exterior]] after the Interior). Like I said, there's also the fact that the story/cutscenes change whether its Peach or Zelda who is rescued from Petey Piranha at the beginning. Even in stages and/or cutscenes where there are not characters or content from the main ''Mario'' franchise, a majority of them consist of ''Mario''-related subjects, so the ''Mario'' franchise is the most represented within ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', just like with the overall series. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that a full plot summary in The Subspace Emissary article is justified, and a shorter one can be on the ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' article itself. The individual Subspace Emissary stages have articles (though [[Skyworld]] needs to be split), so why not give The Subspace Emissary its own article? It feels kind of inconsistent. Modes such as [[Home-Run Contest]] have their own article and are less directly related to ''Mario''.
Like my ''The Legend of Zelda''-related [[MarioWiki:Proposals|proposal]]s, we can figure out how to present the article if it passes. Perhaps we can include the full plot, and in the opening section summarize all of the ''Mario''-related content within the mode (such as the bosses, the Subspace Army enemies from ''Mario'', and the inclusion of ''Mario'' characters in general) and the roles that they play.

#{{User|Tails777}} I feel this is a bit too big of a topic to give near full coverage for. Even if it does use a lot of ''Mario series'' content, the purpose of the SSE is to be a massive story focused on every playable character, even if they're not all evenly represented (thanks in part to Sonic popping up at the literal end of it). I feel this might be attempting to stretch the Smash coverage just a bit and is better off being fully covered on Smash Wiki rather than here.
#{{user|7feetunder}} Per Tails777. Also, I don't think Home-Run Contest ''should'' have its own article (and I was unaware that it did).
#{{User|BBQ Turtle}} Per all.
#{{User|Bazooka Mario}} I see little need to go in-depth with this mode.
#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per all. As I've mentioned on other similar proposals, I would rather go in the direction of limiting ''Super Smash Bros.'' content rather than expanding it. In fact, I question whether it is necessary for us to have individual articles covering the individual Subspace Emissary levels, especially since it is true that some do not involve Mario characters at all.
