'''PictoChat''' is a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It is based on the PictoChat chat service found on the [[Nintendo DS]]. It starts off as a simplistic, flat stage, but as time passes, small sketches form on the stage. They can act as additional platforms, obstacles, or hazards to the combatants. The main platform will commonly say "Now entering:", with a random character participating in the match at the end. PictoChat is comparable in gameplay to the [[WarioWare, Inc. (stage)|WarioWare, Inc.]] stage.  


==Using PictoChat==
Although it does not return in later ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games, a second version of the stage called [[PictoChat 2]] appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
PictoChat is divided into 4 "chatrooms" marked "A", "B", "C", and "D", respectively. The maximum capacity for these chatrooms is 16. Upon entering a chatroom, users are presented with some very simple formatting options for drawing. The only available pen color is black, though on [[Nintendo DSi]], the user can change to a rainbow pen by tapping on the pen icon while having selected it (the rainbow is also visible on regular DS systems). The interface also contains a keyboard, which is able to produce a variety of text and symbols. The main feature of PictoChat is the ability to create simple drawings and post them onto the chatboard.
