The game is being developed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]], who also made the last two ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. 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.

A demo of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' was playable on the "E for All" media event in San Francisco in October 2007. The game will support the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], as revealed in an update of the [http://www.smashbros.com/ Smash Bros. DOJO!!]
==Gameplay==
[[File:SSBB Group artwork 2.jpg|thumb|Mario battling fellow Nintendo protagonists Link, Samus, and Pit]]
The basic controls are essentially the same as in the previous two games. {{iw|smashwiki|Fighter}}s have to attack their opponents to increase their {{iw|smashwiki|damage|percentage}}. The amount of damage affects how far the players can be knocked back. The objective is to knock opponents off the {{iw|smashwiki|blast line}} to score a {{iw|smashwiki|KO}}. The {{button|A}} involves basic moves while the {{button|B}} has the character perform {{iw|smashwiki|special move}}s. Players can do several moves depending on where {{button|Stick}} is tilted. If players are knocked from the stage, they can use their [[Double Jump (airborne)|midair jump]] and special moves, typically {{button|B}} and tilting up on {{button|Stick}} to recover. Most attacks can be blocked by {{iw|smashwiki|shield}}ing, though it shrinks the longer from either the player holding the button or the shield blocking attacks. If the shield is too small, the player is vulnerable to {{iw|smashwiki|shield stab}}s. If the shield breaks, the player is temporarily stunned. {{iw|smashwiki|Grab}}bing allows the player to either pummel the opponent with the attack button or throw them with {{button|Stick}}. An opponent can be released from a grab by moving the {{iw|smashwiki|control stick}} and mashing buttons, though opponents at higher percentages struggle to release more. Characters can use one of three [[taunt]]s, two more than in previous games. The {{iw|smashwiki|tether recovery}} allows fighters to grab onto ledges using chain-like items, such as a {{iw|smashwiki|Plasma Whip}} or a {{iw|smashwiki|Hookshot}}. Even {{iw|smashwiki|Natural combo}}s are simpler, since holding it down is enough for the character to start a combo attack.


== Story ==
The game introduces a variety of moves and abilities. There is {{iw|smashwiki|Footstool Jump}} technique, reminiscent of the different varieties of [[jump]]ing within the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], and it allows fighters to {{iw|smashwiki|jump}} onto another fighter up to five times and spring up by pressing the jump button at the right time. Another added technique is {{iw|smashwiki|Glide|gliding}}, available only to winged characters, as well as {{iw|smashwiki|crawl}}ing for certain fighters. Gliding fighters can direct themselves upwards or downwards, depending on which direction the {{button|gcn|Stick}} or the {{button|wii|Pad}} is held. All fighters can {{iw|smashwiki|slip}}, which has no benefit besides the {{iw|smashwiki|invincibility}} frames given to them while getting up. Slipping occurs when players either try to run suddenly, go down slopes, turn around, or walk on a [[Banana Peel]]. Players are now able to walk and jump while using projectile-shooting items.
[[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, Kirby is transformed into a [[Trophy]], which Mario revives into its living counterpart.
The most major addition is the [[Final Smash]], a powerful special move involving either a strong attack, character transformation, or {{iw|smashwiki|stage hazard}} that most likely results in an opponent being KO'd.


However, [[Meta Knight|Meta Knight's]] ship, the [[Battleship Halberd|Halberd]], flies over the main stadium. It sprays purple smoke into the arena, which then takes the form of a group of strange robotic creatures, named [[Primid]]. Zelda and Peach run down to assist Mario and Kirby. They fight the Primid for some time.
Like previous games, {{iw|smashwiki|item}}s appear randomly. In {{iw|smashwiki|Versus Mode|Brawl mode}} only, the player can set certain items to not appear and adjust how commonly each type of item appears. Items are more common on stages representing the same franchise, such as [[Super Mushroom]]s in ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' stages.


The Subspace Army then 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 sent flying out of the stadium by a giant cannonball. Kirby ponders what to do, and notices that Peach and Zelda have been trapped in cages, which are being held by [[Petey Piranha]].
Players can make customizable button configurations and save them on the Wii Remote's internal memory. They can insert {{iw|smashwiki|name}}s with up to five letters, as in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', though names can now have custom button configurations applied to them by default. If the player is using a {{iw|nwiki|Nintendo GameCube Controller}} or a {{iw|nwiki|Classic Controller}}, tilting {{button|gcn|C}} or {{button|wii|CCStickR}} while on the main menu will change the camera angle. There are four controller options, listed below with their default control configurations:


Petey Piranha proceeds to attack Kirby, by swinging the cages at him. Kirby dodges, and starts to weaken the cages with his attacks. Kirby eventually defeats Petey Piranha, causing him to drop the two cages. Kirby breaks only one cage. 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, who had been flung farther away. He points his machine at her, and fires it. A black arrow shoots out of the device, and when it strikes the unrescued princess, she is transformed into a Trophy, which Wario promptly carries away. It is then that Kirby and the rescued princess ride a [[Warp Star]] and escape the stadium, which is drawn into [[Subspace (SSB)|Subspace]] seconds afterwards.

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 Staff of Palutena. She sends Pit on a mission to save the world from the Subspace Army, and help out 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.

{{main|List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl}}
Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' has 35 playable characters (39, if {{iw|smashwiki|Sheik (SSBB)|Sheik}}, {{iw|smashwiki|Zero Suit Samus (SSBB)|Zero Suit Samus}}, and the {{iw|smashwiki|Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)|Pokémon Trainer}}'s three {{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon}} are counted, each), ten more than in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. 21 characters (25 if counting the four aforementioned characters) are playable directly from the start, while the other fourteen have to be {{iw|smashwiki|Unlockable character|unlocked}} to become playable; as new characters are unlocked, they can be seen amongst the fighters in the opening scene. Only five fighters from the previous game were not added to the roster: {{iw|smashwiki|Roy (SSBM)|Roy}}, {{iw|smashwiki|Dr. Mario (SSBM)|Dr. Mario}}, {{iw|smashwiki|Young Link (SSBM)|Young Link}}, {{iw|smashwiki|Pichu (SSBM)|Pichu}}, and {{iw|smashwiki|Mewtwo (SSBM)|Mewtwo}}. The game adds fifteen {{iw|smashwiki|Fighter#Newcomers and veterans|newcomers}} (18 counting Zero Suit Samus and the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon). ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is the first game with fighters from third-party franchises, particularly {{iw|smashwiki|Sonic (SSBB)|Sonic}} and {{iw|smashwiki|Snake (SSBB)|Snake}}.


[[Image:Brawl_DKStory.jpg|thumb|right|Enemies stealing [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Banana Hoard]].]]
Of the roster, eight characters are from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]: [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Yoshi]], and [[Wario]].
Meanwhile, 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, a la ''[[Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat]]''), Donkey Kong readies to follow the Hammer Bro. and the Goomba, and get his treasured Banana Hoard back. Both Donkey Kong and his friend, [[Diddy Kong]], set off after them. It appears that after getting their Banana Hoard back (it is unknown where, when, or how), Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong encounter [[Bowser]]. He roars ferociously, and presumably he is fought. However, as to why Bowser has stolen his Banana Hoard is, as of yet, unknown.

In the meanwhile, Kirby and the rescued princess on the Warp Star are chased by the Halberd. They are forced to land on it, but an [[Arwing]] appears. It is hit by the beams of the Halberd and flies downwards, knocking off Kirby and the rescued princess on its way. Apparently, the Arwing is knocked out of the skies by the Halberd, and lands on the island Donkey Kong is on.

Afterwards, Diddy Kong then starts to swing through the jungle. When he reaches a pond, he notices a damaged [[Arwing]] near the lake. As he heads towards it, a [[Rayquaza]] emerges from the lake, and starts attacking Diddy Kong. As Diddy Kong stares in fear and awe, Rayquaza quickly grabs him, and flies back to the lake. As Diddy Kong continues to stare in terror, [[Fox McCloud]] ejects from destroyed Arwing, and uses [[Fox Illusion]] to swift pass the dragon's hand, causing him to release Diddy. As Rayquaza uses another Dragon Pulse, Fox uses his [[Reflector]], which deflects the attack back at Rayquaza, causing him to retreat back into the lake. Fox then allows Diddy to accompany him on his journey.

The Halberd later 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.

A few things can be interpreted from the videos of actual gameplay of the Subspace Emissary. Defeating enemies yields prizes, such as regular items, stickers, and strange golden balls that must be broken to reveal trophies. When an enemy is attacked, its picture appears in the corner, along with a health bar. After each cutscene, a freezeframe of any characters in the spotlight at the moment is shown, and the player picks who to play as.

Additionally, a few teams were confirmed through a [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea10.html recent video]. Donkey Kong appears to be by himself in a Jungle level, with his partner, Diddy Kong, being allied with Fox in a similar looking level. [[Meta Knight]] and the [[Ice Climbers]] have been seen fighting together on an ice level, showing they will be partnered up, but Meta Knight also appeared to fight with [[Ike]] and [[Marth]], hinting at a possible split path.[http://gonintendo.com/?p=34381#comments] [[Yoshi]] and [[Link]] are seen fighting together in an underground level. [[Lucas]] was also seen fighting several [[Subspace Army|Bytans]] by himself, but later appeared alongside [[Ness]], and later on, with [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Samus and [[Pikachu]] appear to team up as well. [[King Dedede]] was also seen randomly in the [http://gonintendo.com/?p=34381#comments recent trailer], as was [[Captain Olimar]]. [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] was also seen on a stage based on '''Green Hill Zone''', and [[Snake (character)|Snake]] was also shown to be in the Subspace Emissary. There also seems to be a showdown, with Yoshi, Pit, Kirby, Link, and Mario all on one side. [[Bowser]] has been shown to be holding the same arrow-shooting gun as [[Wario]], and is presumed to have turned Donkey Kong into a trophy. He is shown shooting an arrow at Diddy and Fox. [[Wario]] is also seen with his gun again. It is presumed this gun can also shoot cannonballs. It is unknown if Bowser and Wario are playable in the Subspace Emissary.

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.

Either his ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series and usual outfit can be worn, each with color varieties of their own. Wario's Chomp involves him biting an opponent while keeping them trapped in his mouth. The potency of his Wario Waft depends on when it was last used, to the point of also functioning like an added jump. Wario can drive on his Wario Bike and ram into opponents with it. Wario's Final Smash transforms him into his superhero form, [[Wario-Man]], who has greater movement and much stronger attacks.

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.
===Unlockable characters===
 
{|class="wikitable"width=100%
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.

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.
|{{iw|wikibound|Ness}} has a similar yet distinct moveset from Lucas's. He is light but remains decently strong.
 
|<nowiki/>
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 an 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.
*Play five {{iw|smashwiki|Versus Mode|Brawl matches}}

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.

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.

==== Stadium ====
==Stages==
The Stadium offers several mini-games, as previously in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Some modes from the predecessor are returning.
There are 41 total stages in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. 10 of these stages are returning stages from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
[[Image:sandybrawlbag.jpg|thumb|right|Mario along with Sandbag and a Bat.]]
===Default stages===
=====Home-Run Contest=====
{|class="wikitable sortable" width=100%
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!!=====
!width=15%|Image
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.
!width=17%|Stage
=====Multi-Man Brawl=====
!width=40%|Description
[[Image:Multimanselection.jpg|thumb|left|145px|Selection Screen.]]
!width=28%|Songs
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 ====
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.
[[Image:BrawlBunnyHood.jpg|thumb|right|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 past, 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 titles have a restricted time they can be played in, others, like ''Super Metroid'', come with save data.

{{main|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary}}
[[File:Subspace Emissary Brawl map.png|thumb|200px|The map of the Subspace Emissary]]
'''{{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary}}''' is the game's adventure mode. Taking place in the {{iw|smashwiki|World of Trophies}}, The Subspace Emissary has a full-length plot and several stages, being more advanced than its {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode (SSBM)|equivalent}} from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. The main map shows the world map and which places can be entered, and when the player selects a stage, they can choose which characters in their team to use, with the number of options increasing as the storyline progresses. The player can use {{iw|smashwiki|sticker}}s, each granting a certain effect such as resistance or an increases statistic.
 
The mode features the following stages:

{| class=sortable cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3 border=1 align=center width=100% style="border-collapse:collapse; font-family:Arial"
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Classic Mode (SSBB)}}
[[File:Classic Mode Brawl.png|thumb|The loading screen before each level of Classic mode, with [[Link]] acting as the first opponent.]]
When starting Classic mode, the player chooses a character before going through a series of battles against other fighters. Players go through stages in a certain order, such as a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' stage always being the eighth one. A few of the matches have certain conditions set, like in the mode's {{iw|smashwiki|Classic Mode (SSBM)|previous iteration}} in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. A few examples are the player fighting a giant version of an opponent, either with two allies (only against Giant Yoshi), one ally, or none, or the player fighting a {{iw|smashwiki|Metal Box|metal}} version of another player. A small heart appears next to a teammate's logo in matches with allies. When a level is finished, the score is added up, and the player earns coins, which can be used in the {{iw|smashwiki|Coin Launcher}}.
 
Clearing this mode will give the player a trophy of the character used to complete it. When finishing it as Zelda or Sheik, the player can only get the trophy of her current form, like with Samus and Zero Suit Samus. For Pokémon Trainer, Classic Mode must be completed three separate times, each with one of his Pokémon, as clearing it only rewards the player with the trophies of the Trainer and the Pokémon in use when it was cleared.

{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|All-Star Mode}}
All-Star mode returns from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It is an unlockable mode that becomes available once all {{iw|smashwiki|fighter}}s have been unlocked. In addition to single player, the mode supports two players, unlike before, and opponents are sorted by series (and the chronology of their game releases) instead of at random. No more than two foes appear during a battle, excluding the ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon}}'' stage, because the Pokémon Trainer uses each Pokémon separately.
 
If All-Star is beaten in {{iw|smashwiki|Co-op mode}}, the Final Smash trophies of both characters are unlocked. Similarly to Classic, finishing the mode with Zelda/Sheik or Samus/Zero Suit Samus does not also unlock the trophy of the other form, requiring the mode to be cleared twice. Unlike Classic mode, Pokémon Trainer has only one trophy unlocked for All-Star mode.

After ten seconds, the shield disappears, which is when to swing the {{iw|smashwiki|Home-Run Bat}} to launch the Sandbag. The mode supports two players, either as co-op or alternating play.

|Returning from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' (where it is titled Multi-Man Melee), players have to fight the {{iw|smashwiki|Fighting Alloy Team}}. The mode now supports not only single player but also co-op play with two players. Objectives include defeating a certain number of them, fighting them off for a set period of time, or an endless high-score match until the player gets KO'd. Various rewards from the challenges section are obtained in this mode. The following modes appear:

|{{iw|smashwiki|Boss Battles}}
| align=center| ''Kamaitachi no Yoru 2''
|Boss Battles is the only Stadium mode original to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. It is a variation of All-Star mode that involves fighting every boss from The Subspace Emissary and Classic Mode, both having to be completed before the mode becomes playable. Boss Battles can be played in single-player or in two-player co-op mode. The bosses are fought in no particular order, except the final boss, {{iw|smashwiki|Tabuu}}. There is a {{iw|smashwiki|All-Star Rest Area|rest area}} with three {{iw|smashwiki|Heart Container}}s. The player has only one {{iw|smashwiki|stock}}. When the player clears the mode, their high score is ranked by how long it took to complete, but if not, it is measured the number of bosses defeated. Players can choose one of the five {{iw|smashwiki|difficulty}} levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, or Intense. Each difficulty increases the speed of the bosses and how damaging their moves are.
| align=center|
|}
 
====Training====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Training Mode}}
Training is a returning mode in which the player can learn basic controls or experiment with certain functions and items. One to three {{iw|smashwiki|Artificial intelligence|CPU}}-controlled {{iw|smashwiki|fighter}}s can be fought, but there is the option for them to be motionless. Any item can be spawned, which includes the {{iw|smashwiki|Smash Ball}} for practicing the character's {{iw|smashwiki|Final Smash}}. The hit damage of the CPU can be predefined. The player can set the mode in either slow or quick motion.
 
===Group===
====Brawl====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Versus Mode}}
[[File:Brawl Brawl.jpg|left|thumb|Choosing alternate characters for the start of a match.]]
[[File:Skyworld 4P match Brawl.png|thumb|Four characters (Donkey Kong, Pit, Falco, Snake) begin their battle in Skyworld.]]
This is the game's iteration of Versus Mode, in which 2-4 players or computers may battle. Players can select their characters (and optionally an {{iw|smashwiki|alternate costume}}), and select the {{iw|smashwiki|stage}} to play on. When selecting a fighter with more than one form on the character select screen, the player can choose which form to begin with by clicking the other form, such as {{iw|smashwiki|Sheik (SSBB)|Sheik}} for {{iw|smashwiki|Zelda (SSBB)|Zelda}}. When starting a battle, as the {{iw|smashwiki|announcer}} counts down, each fighter appears onscreen with their own {{iw|smashwiki|On-screen appearance|animation}}, such as [[Mario]] emerging from a [[Warp Pipe]]. A {{iw|smashwiki|handicap}} can be set anywhere from 0% {{iw|smashwiki|damage}} to 300%, and the handicap has no effect the player's attack strength and {{iw|smashwiki|knockback}} resistance, unlike ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Even if a player with a handicap is KO'd, they return onscreen with the same handicap percentage of damage.
{{br|left}}
====Rules====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Rules}}
This feature allows the player to control a wide variety of settings for Group mode. The three most basic rules include:
 
*Time: Fighters score a point for each KO and lose a point whenever they cross a {{iw|smashwiki|blast line}}. When time runs out, the fighter with the most points is determined the winner, though if there is a tie, the match will go into {{iw|smashwiki|Sudden Death}}, where each fighter has only one {{iw|smashwiki|stock}} and begins at 300% damage. The last one standing wins.
*Stock: Players have a set number of lives and lose one if they cross the blast line. When a player loses all lives, they do not return. A stock battle can be won by whoever is the last player remaining.
*Coin: A timed match where fighters collect {{iw|smashwiki|Smash Coins and Bills}} for points: Bronze coins are worth one point; silver coins are worth three; gold coins are worth six; and bills are worth ten. Coins and bills spawn whenever a fighter takes damage, and the value of the coins depends on how hard the player had been hit. When fighters fall of the stage, they lose half their points, but if they had 200 or more points, it always reduces to 100. When the timer ends, the person with the most coins wins, though if both end with the same number of coins, a Sudden Death occurs.
 
Players can adjust not only the {{iw|smashwiki|handicap}}, but also the {{iw|smashwiki|damage ratio}}, which affects how far a damaged player is launched. The damage ratio is at 1.0 by default, but it can be adjusted to anywhere between 0.5 to 2.0. Players can also determine how the stages are selected, which is by choosing it themselves before each round, but there is a setting to make the loser of the previous battle pick the stage instead. It is possible to determine which items appear and at what frequency.
 
More rules can be unlocked once at least 200 KOs have been done in Group mode: adjusting the time limit for a stock match; the ability to attack teammates; the inability to {{iw|smashwiki|pause}}; displaying the score; and hiding damage percentages. When every stage is unlocked, the player can have the game select a random stage for them to play on.
 
====Special Brawl====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Special Smash}}
[[File:Bunny Brawl option.png|thumb|The "Bunny Brawl" setting.]]
Special Brawl allows for certain customizations before starting a battle. Players can attach items, set stats, and add appearance differences to every player from the start, without having to collect the items themselves. Unlike the Special Melee modes of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', the player can use more than one option in Special Brawl. For stamina battles, the player can decide to start anywhere from 1 HP to 300 HP.
 
====Rotation====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Rotation}}
Rotation is a multiplayer mode that expands upon the Winner Out/Loser Out Tournament modes of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Up to sixteen players can play on the same system, with the controller being passed after each battle. Players can optionally use their {{iw|smashwiki|name}} and personal controller configuration. The option between Winner Out and Loser Out is still retained, where the controller is given over to the next player after winning or losing, respectively. Players can pause to move themselves at the end of a queue. It remains possible to change one's character in the middle of the mode, like in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
 
====Tourney====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Tourney (SSBB)}}
The Tourney mode is the same as the Tournament Mode from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Several players compete in the tourney, each fighting to compete in the championship and win. It is possible to play with friends, or battle CPU characters. Besides decreasing the number of players from 64 to 32 and allowing for more fighters to appear on stage than controllers, little of the mode has changed from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
 
===Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection===
{{main-wiki|Smashwiki|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}}
[[File:BrawlWi-Fi.jpg|thumb|left|The main Wi-Fi menu.]]
In the mode, players from different parts of the world could compete in a match in either {{iw|smashwiki|With Friends}} or {{iw|smashwiki|With Anyone}}. The farther apart they were, the slower the connection was. This mode became unavailable as of May 20, 2014, when Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection shut down.
 
The With Friends mode was restricted only to players who had each other's {{iw|smashwiki|friend code}}. Players could choose an emblem, either of the {{iw|smashwiki|Universe|represented series}}, the characters' icons, or [[Mii]]s. Players could use [[taunt]]s to send across one of four messages by pressing up, left, right, or down on the {{button|wii|Pad}}. The {{iw|smashwiki|Home-Run Contest}} and {{iw|smashwiki|Multi-Man Smash|Multi-Man Brawl}} were both also available.
 
[[File:Multimenbrawl.jpg|thumb|The With Friends mode selection screen]]
The With Anyone setting was self-explanatory, though players could not send messages nor see the name or details of their opponent. It was not possible to record the results of a battle, unlike in With Friends. In Basic Brawl, players fought in a free for all with two-minute matches. The only setting that could be changed was which items would appear in battle, and the game would select either of the player's preferences. If fewer than four players were present, a {{iw|smashwiki|Artificial intelligence|CPU}} filled in for any missing fighter, including those who disconnected during a battle. In Team Brawl, either while the game was loading or players were waiting for opponents, they could practice by attacking the [[Sandbag]] from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Players had the choice to spectate the battle and even bet coins on the winner of a match.
 
===Vault===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Vault}}
The Vault features a variety of obtainable items.
====Trophies & stickers====
=====Trophies=====
{{main|List of trophies in Super Smash Bros. Brawl}}
A different set of [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]] appear in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' than in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. When a trophy is selected, a description of the character or object portrayed will be displayed, just like in the previous game. There are a total of 544 different trophies to collect. Many trophies can be placed as a part of dioramas, and there are more backgrounds to add to the feature.
 
=====Stickers=====
[[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Stickers]] are pieces of 2D game artwork that appear during a stage at random. They are single-use items that power up a {{iw|smashwiki|fighter}} in The Subspace Emissary. Unlike trophies, it is possible to obtain more than one sticker of the same type. Any collected stickers are stored in an album, and similarly to trophies, they can decorate a screen using different backgrounds.
 
=====Coin Launcher=====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Coin Launcher}}
[[File:CoinLauncher.jpg|thumb|The Coin Launcher mode]]
The de facto successor of the {{iw|smashwiki|Lottery}} from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Coin Launcher involves using coins to obtain various trophies and stickers. The player controls the Coin Launcher, a cannon that shoots any collected coins. A few types of several moving objects show up regularly, and each type travels across the screen in a different formation and direction. Often, if every enemy has been shot in a particular group formation, the player will receive a sticker. Trophies move across the screen in a predetermined manner. A trophy can be collected upon hitting it with two or four coins. The main hazards are missiles, which are aimed towards the Coin Launcher, with each one taking two hits to destroy. Missiles move at varying speeds, and they sometimes show up in groups. The player loses ten coins any time a missile hits the Coin Launcher. A green gauge on the bottom left of the screen can be filled up completely to allow the player to rapid-fire coins for a short time. It is filled slightly whenever a missile is destroyed, or a certain number of moving objects, but decreases when hit by a missile.
{{br|left}}
====Stage Builder====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Stage Builder}}
[[File:Stage Builder Brawl.png|thumb|left|200px|The Stage Builder in action.]]
[[File:CustomStage-Brawl.png|thumb|250px|[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] battle on a stage, made by the Stage Builder.]]
Stage Builder allows for the creation of custom {{iw|smashwiki|stage}}s. Players have to first choose the size of the stage, decide on the backdrop, and the background music. After doing so, the player can begin to add pieces to the stage, including platforms, ladders, and spikes. Pieces can be flipped, resized, zoomed, have their palettes swapped, or be erased. Once a fraction of the stage has been built, the player has the option of trying it out before saving. Once the stage is completed, the player can choose a name and comment, or change the background music. It was possible to send the custom stage to other players via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. It also used to be possible to send the stage to Nintendo using the "Submit" option on the Stage Builder screen, and every day through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Nintendo would switch between a custom stage for players to try out.
{{br|left}}
====Challenges====
{{main|Challenges (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)}}
[[File:BrawlChallenges.jpg|thumb|The Challenges screen.]]
Challenges consists of 128 specific objectives that the player can fulfill to unlock trophies, stages, CDs, stickers, Stage Builder parts, and Masterpieces. Each of the unfinished challenges are locked behind a closed window. When the player unlocks an item by winning a challenge, any unobtained items to the left and right of it on the menu appears in a red silhouette, and their method of unlocking is displayed. [[Golden Hammer]]s could be won and used once on a window of the player's choice (excluding those involving boss battles), allowing the player to get the reward immediately without fulfilling the objective.
 
====Album====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Album}}
Screenshots can be taken by the player while pausing the game and saved either on the Wii's internal memory or an SD card. The feature was upgraded over the special camera mode from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
 
====Replays====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Replays}}
Replays allow players to rewatch a recorded battle. They are usable in a single Brawl in Group Mode, Target Smash!!, Home-Run Contest, or Multi-Man Brawl. A replay can be recorded by pressing the Z button within three minutes after the match or challenge has ended. Replays are saved to either the Vault or on an SD card directly. Target Smash!! and Home-Run Contest records could be submitted to Nintendo prior to June 30, 2009.
 
====Masterpieces====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Masterpieces}}
[[File:Ssbbmasterpiece.png|thumb|150px|The Masterpiece selection screen in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
The player can try out certain classical [[Nintendo]] games for a limited amount of time. The available demos are the following:

Melee''.

|Play for 10 hours or more total.
*A remix of K. K. Slider's theme music from the ''Animal Crossing'' series was revealed by the official site, titled ''[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music07.html Animal Crossing: Go K.K. Rider!]''. It will play on [[Smashville]], as stated by the official site.

*Interestingly, Hirokazu Tanaka, the composer of several Nintendo games since the [[Game & Watch]], has secretly joined the list of Brawl composers, creating a more modernized version of the original [[Donkey Kong (arcade game)|Donkey Kong]] theme music, aptly named, ''[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music15.html Donkey Kong]''. It can be compared with the music from the [[Flat Zone]] stage from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.
|1:30
*In the first trailer, the game over music from ''Metal Gear Solid'' (likely Snake's victory music in ''Brawl'') is heard at the end.

Melee'', implying that music as heard in ''Melee'' will be in the game, likely through the "My Music" feature.
|It is only possible to play as [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-1]].

|Play as Toon Link ten times in VS Mode.
*The Temple stage comes with a music track that is based on ''[[Wikipedia: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', just as the music of the original stage, named ''[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/stage18.html Zelda II: Adventure of Link: Great Temple/Temple]''.
|-

*The [[Mushroomy Kingdom]] stage features a remix of the original ''Super Mario Bros.'' music, ''[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music21.html Super Mario Bros.: Ground Theme]''. It is now heavily relying on piano.

====Chronicle====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Chronicle}}
The player can look at a list of various video games from [[Nintendo]] as well as their release dates. The titles are organized by which systems they were released for. More titles are added to the Chronicle as more [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]] and [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]]s are collected from their games.
 
===Options===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Options}}
Various settings can be changed, including the {{wp|Aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio}}, the graphics, the rumble feature, set control schemes to assign to {{iw|smashwiki|name}}s, and adjust the music and sound effect volume while having quick access to the {{iw|smashwiki|Sound Test}}. Lastly, there is the option to erase all data or of certain records only.
 
====My Music====
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|My Music}}
[[File:My Music Brawl.png|thumb|My Music for Delfino Plaza.]]
Every stage has a selection of music tracks originating usually from the {{iw|smashwiki|universe|game series}}, and players can choose which music track to play on a stage using the My Music mode. It is not possible to play every existing track on any of the stages. The player can adjust how like a song is to play on a stage. More tracks become available as more {{iw|smashwiki|CD}}s are collected.
 
===Data===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Data}}
A variety of random content can be looked at from the Data section. There are four-page records of group matches: The first page is a chart showing the number of KOs fighters have performed on each other; the second page shows the top five fighters for each of several stats, such as {{iw|smashwiki|KO}}'s, falls, {{iw|smashwiki|self-destruct}}s, victories, losses, peak damage, walking distance, the time spent swimming, and more; the third page lists all the same stats for every fighter; and the fourth and final page similarly lists all the same stats for each name, including their first, second, and least commonly used fighters. Players can also view miscellaneous gameplay sections, such as the total time played, the number of matches played, the commonly used fighter, and number of trophies collected. {{iw|smashwiki|Milestone|Notices}} are also saved in the order in which they had been shown. Any cutscenes from The Subspace Emissary that have been played at least once can be rewatched from {{iw|smashwiki|Movies}}, as well as five other pre-rendered videos: {{iw|smashwiki|How to Play (SSBB)|How to Play}}, the {{iw|smashwiki|E3|E3 2006 trailer}}, another introductory video, and a video on the two third-party fighters each, {{iw|smashwiki|Sonic (SSBB)|Sonic}} and {{iw|smashwiki|Snake (SSBB)|Snake}}. From the {{iw|smashwiki|Sound Test}}, the player can hear different sound effects and listen to various songs, each showing which game they are from when selected.
 
==Staff==
[[File:GroupSSBB.jpg|thumb|Group artwork used on the box art.]]
{{main|List of Super Smash Bros. Brawl staff}}
[[Masahiro Sakurai]], the creator of the ''Kirby'' and the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, was the game director, being heavily involved in its production. The game also uses the Havok game engine, a trait shared by various other non-Nintendo games, making it the first ''Super Smash Bros.'' game and the only Nintendo game to do so. Other companies have been involved in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'''s development, especially for its extensive soundtrack, including [[Camelot Software Planning|Camelot Co., Ltd.]], [[Namco Bandai Games|Namco Bandai Games Inc.]], and Monolith Software Inc.
 
==Pre-release and unused content==
{{main|List of Super Smash Bros. Brawl pre-release and unused content}}
<gallery>

BetaEye.jpg|Captain Falcon's broken visor after prolonged damage.
</gallery>
Early in development, a damage system would have been implemented that would cause characters to shown signs of visible damage and strain during prolonged battles. Among those found included Meta Knight's mask that would develop large cracks, or Captain Falcon's helmet whose visor would crack to reveal a part of his face.
 
==Glitches==
{{main|List of Super Smash Bros. Brawl glitches}}
===Infinite lightning glitch===
First, the player must choose Zelda/Sheik. The other player must use a lightning bolt to make them either shrink or grow. Once the player has changed size, they must use their Down+B special move to transform to Sheik/Zelda. The player can transform back to who they were before; this is optional. By doing this very simple glitch, Zelda/Sheik will stay at their size forever. However, this glitch will only keep working until Zelda/Sheik is affected by another size-changing item.


This glitch will work with any mode, any color, any size (Mini or Mega Brawl) and any rule. As long as items are turned on and lightning bolts are able to spawn.


===Play as Giant Jigglypuff===
First, the player must select the Bridge of Eldin stage. The player should also have a Final Smash prepared. King Bulbin will eventually come and destroy part of the bridge with a bomb. Soon after, a portal will restore that part of the bridge. When the matter begins to rebuild the bridge, the player has to use the Final Smash in midair in the gap. Jigglypuff will begin to inflate while the bridge is getting mended. When the bridge is completely fixed, Jigglypuff should bounce up onto the bridge and remain giant. Its attacks are completely the same, only that they have a much longer reach. Its movement seems to have slowed somewhat as well. It also becomes a very easy target and is simple to KO, as the slightest touch of the KO range will take it out. With this glitch activated, having Yoshi perform his Egg Lay attack will make Jigglypuff grow even bigger.

== Trivia ==
==References to other games==
* Brawl was already reviewed by the Japanese Famitsu magazine long 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.<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>.
*''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'': [[75m]] appears as a [[75 m (stage)|stage]], where [[Donkey Kong]] in his original sprite form appears as a major stage hazard; [[25m]]'s theme appears as a song in this stage. [[Mario]]'s red-and-blue costume also originates from this game. One of [[Wario]]'s alternate costumes is based on Mario's original outfit from this game. One of [[Princess Peach|Peach's]] alternate costumes is based on [[Pauline]]'s artwork from this game.

Its a bit like a total snob going to a really good restaurant and complaining that the sauce drizzled delicately over the perfectly cooked pork joint is just a bit too tangy and making a scene about it. We're the snobs, Brawl is the pork and oh so very slightly erroneous sauce. What's great about this game is the way in which anyone can enjoy it. Single player, multiplayer, online multiplayer, sitting-around-looking-at-trophies player, this game has it all. Epic, beautiful and quite wonderfully Nintendo in its almost sexual brilliance. Arousing stuff.''"

It's consistently satisfying over long periods, fulfilling its usual role of dominating a willing crowd's evening into the early hours, and now allowing you to sustain that after everyone's gone home using the Internet. Really the only reason you wouldn't feel that way would be if you didn't stick with it past the dizzying first quarter of an hour, or if you don't like Nintendo characters - and if you don't in either case then you probably aren't reading this anyway, and the prospect of Triforce-smashing your friends to death won't mean anything. Otherwise, persist, and enrich yourself, and wonder where on earth it all goes next.''"

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a fighting game for the Wii. It is the third game within the Super Smash Bros. series, following after Super Smash Bros. Melee. The game was designed by Masahiro Sakurai and developed by a team that was specifically created for it.[citation needed] The game engine is titled Havok, provided by the Irish company of the same name, and it focuses mainly on the game physics.[4] After a planned release date of December 3, 2007 in North America, all regions had their release dates pushed back.[citation needed] It was then slated for release on February 10, 2008 in North America, and January 24, 2008 for Japan.[citation needed] However, on January 15, 2008, it was then delayed to January 31, 2008 for Japan[5] and March 9, 2008 for North America.[6] It was released in Oceania on June 26, 2008 and in Europe on June 27, 2008.[7]

Gameplay[edit]

The basic controls are essentially the same as in the previous two games. Fighters have to attack their opponents to increase their percentage. The amount of damage affects how far the players can be knocked back. The objective is to knock opponents off the blast line to score a KO. The A Button involves basic moves while the B Button has the character perform special moves. Players can do several moves depending on where Control Stick is tilted. If players are knocked from the stage, they can use their midair jump and special moves, typically B Button and tilting up on Control Stick to recover. Most attacks can be blocked by shielding, though it shrinks the longer from either the player holding the button or the shield blocking attacks. If the shield is too small, the player is vulnerable to shield stabs. If the shield breaks, the player is temporarily stunned. Grabbing allows the player to either pummel the opponent with the attack button or throw them with Control Stick. An opponent can be released from a grab by moving the control stick and mashing buttons, though opponents at higher percentages struggle to release more. Characters can use one of three taunts, two more than in previous games. The tether recovery allows fighters to grab onto ledges using chain-like items, such as a Plasma Whip or a Hookshot. Even Natural combos are simpler, since holding it down is enough for the character to start a combo attack.

The game introduces a variety of moves and abilities. There is Footstool Jump technique, reminiscent of the different varieties of jumping within the Super Mario franchise, and it allows fighters to jump onto another fighter up to five times and spring up by pressing the jump button at the right time. Another added technique is gliding, available only to winged characters, as well as crawling for certain fighters. Gliding fighters can direct themselves upwards or downwards, depending on which direction the Control Stick or the +Control Pad is held. All fighters can slip, which has no benefit besides the invincibility frames given to them while getting up. Slipping occurs when players either try to run suddenly, go down slopes, turn around, or walk on a Banana Peel. Players are now able to walk and jump while using projectile-shooting items.

The most major addition is the Final Smash, a powerful special move involving either a strong attack, character transformation, or stage hazard that most likely results in an opponent being KO'd.

Like previous games, items appear randomly. In Brawl mode only, the player can set certain items to not appear and adjust how commonly each type of item appears. Items are more common on stages representing the same franchise, such as Super Mushrooms in Super Mario stages.

Players can make customizable button configurations and save them on the Wii Remote's internal memory. They can insert names with up to five letters, as in Super Smash Bros. Melee, though names can now have custom button configurations applied to them by default. If the player is using a Nintendo GameCube Controller or a Classic Controller, tilting C Stick or Classic Controller Right Stick while on the main menu will change the camera angle. There are four controller options, listed below with their default control configurations:

Main article: List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Smash Bros. Brawl has 35 playable characters (39, if Sheik, Zero Suit Samus, and the Pokémon Trainer's three Pokémon are counted, each), ten more than in Super Smash Bros. Melee. 21 characters (25 if counting the four aforementioned characters) are playable directly from the start, while the other fourteen have to be unlocked to become playable; as new characters are unlocked, they can be seen amongst the fighters in the opening scene. Only five fighters from the previous game were not added to the roster: Roy, Dr. Mario, Young Link, Pichu, and Mewtwo. The game adds fifteen newcomers (18 counting Zero Suit Samus and the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon). Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the first game with fighters from third-party franchises, particularly Sonic and Snake.

Of the roster, eight characters are from the Super Mario franchise: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Yoshi, and Wario.

Default characters[edit]

Character Description Special moves
Mario
MarioThe Super Mario franchise emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. 		Mario is a balanced character armed with a projectile, a fireball, a cape that reflects opposing projectiles and flips opponents, and F.L.U.D.D., which can spray water at targets. Mario is one of the characters who can wall jump. For his Final Smash, Mario blasts a giant fireball that moves slowly and horizontally.
BrawlDK.jpg
Donkey KongThe Donkey Kong series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. 		Donkey Kong is heavy and strong. He can not only grab enemies but also carry them. His speed is high compared to other heavy characters, but his recovery lacks vertical distance.
Link
LinkThe Legend of Zelda series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. 		Link is a moderate fighter who uses various equipment while fighting. His Bombs affect himself and opponents alike. His Boomerang can damage and push opponents, as well as move items. Link's Bow can shoot Arrows. Link's Spin Attack counts as an extra jump for recovering, though he can still use it on the ground. Link's Claw Shot has a reach capable of grabbing opponents and ledges. Link can block projectiles using his own shield. Link uses his Final Smash to slash the opponent next to him several times, and lastly one powerful slash.
Samus
SamusThe Metroid series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. 		Samus has great projectiles, is heavy, and falls at a floaty speed. After using her Final Smash, Samus loses her suit, becoming Zero Suit Samus.
Zero Suit Samus
Zero Suit SamusThe Metroid series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. (newcomer) 		Zero Suit Samus is lighter and faster than when wearing a suit, although her attacks are weaker. Zero Suit Samus has no actual Final Smash other than transforming back into Samus.
Kirby
KirbyThe Kirby series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. 		Kirby is one of the lightest fighters, but this makes him vulnerable to being knocked away. Kirby can float upward multiple times for his recovery. He can inhale an opponent and copy their standard special move or spit them out. Kirby can use his Hammer not only on the ground but also in midair. Kirby can become a Stone to slam onto opponents, also giving him temporary protection from most attacks. With Final Cutter, Kirby takes out his sword and slashes upward then down, also forming a fast shockwave if it lands on the ground.
Fox McCloud from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
FoxThe Star Fox series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. 		Fox is very fast at attacking and running. He has high falling speed. Fox can use his Blaster to shoot quick lasers. The Fox Illusion does an immediate horizontal strike. Fox's Reflector can deflect most projectiles and even opponents if they are close enough. Fox can use Fire Fox to perform a fiery charge in any direction. For his Final Smash, Fox uses his Landmaster.
Pikachu
PikachuThe Pokémon series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. 		Pikachu has fast movements but weak attacks. Pikachu can create small, damaging sparks of electricity that move around the stage. Pikachu's Skull Bash can be charged to ram into opponents or be used as another jump. Its Thunder attacks opponents directly above it. Pikachu's Quick Attack involves performing two quick jumps as a recovery. His Final Smash is Volt Tackle, causing Pikachu to move around in a large, purple electrical ball, though with little control.
Diddy Kong
Diddy KongThe Donkey Kong series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. (newcomer) 		Diddy Kong is both light and agile. He can use the Peanut Popgun as a weapon and his rocketbarrel to launch upward, like in Donkey Kong 64. Diddy has the ability to latch on opponents, either to attack or jump off of them. Diddy can use banana peels on his own. Diddy's Final Smash involves using both his Rocketbarrel and Peanut Popgun to shoot several peanuts below rapidly.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Official artwork for Zelda
ZeldaThe Legend of Zelda series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. 		Zelda is light and fairly slow. Her attacks are powerful magic, but there is little control while using them.
Artwork of Sheik from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
SheikThe Legend of Zelda series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. 		Sheik is whom Zelda becomes when using Transform. Sheik is a lot faster but has weaker moves than Zelda.
Concept artwork of Pit from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
PitThe Kid Icarus series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. (newcomer) 		Pit uses a bow, which can uniquely be divided into two usable blades. Pit can use very fast slashes. Pit's wings allow him to fly around for a period of time, also giving him longer recovery time.
Meta Knight from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Meta KnightThe Kirby series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. (newcomer) 		Meta Knight can fly around briefly and has a very fast combo attack. He can spin around while bearing a tornado-like shape. However, Meta Knight is light and lacking in power.
Concept artwork of Pokémon Trainer and his three Pokémon from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Pokémon TrainerThe Pokémon series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. (newcomer) 		Pokémon Trainer uses three Pokémon to fight on his behalf: Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard. The Pokémon Trainer cannot do much other than switch out the Pokémon in battle.

Pokémon Trainer

Squirtle

Ivysaur

Charizard

Concept artwork of Ike from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
IkeThe Fire Emblem series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. (newcomer) 		Ike uses a two-handed blade in battle. He has some of the strongest and longest-ranged attacks, but they are very slow. Ike has a relatively slow speed in general.
Princess Peach artwork from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
PeachThe Super Mario franchise emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. 		Princess Peach specializes in aerial techniques, has a good horizontal recovery, and her attacks have high priority. However, Peach is vulnerable to knockback and lacks strength.
Yoshi
YoshiThe Yoshi series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. 		Yoshi is both fast and heavy, although he is weak. Yoshi's Egg Throw can be used as a third jump, unlike before.
Concept artwork of the Ice Climbers from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Ice ClimbersThe Ice Climbers' emblem, from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. 		The Ice Climber duo, Popo and Nana, are controlled by the player and the CPU, respectively, or the inverse with certain costumes. They have a good range, but their normal attacks are weak, and they are rather light.
King Dedede
King DededeThe Kirby series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. (newcomer) 		King Dedede is a heavy character who uses his large hammer for close-range attacks, but he relies on Waddle Dees, Waddle Doos, or Gordos to damage distant opponents. King Dedede can inhale opponents and spit them back out. He has a long reach but very low speed and mobility.
Bowser
BowserThe Super Mario franchise emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. 		Bowser is both heavier and larger than any other fighter. His attacks are powerful but slow to use. Bowser's speed is slightly higher than in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Artwork of Wario from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
WarioThe Wario series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. (newcomer) 		Wario is a small heavyweight skilled in aerial and recovery moves. His range is poor, and his attacks are somewhat slow. Despite being a heavyweight, Wario has average strength. Either his WarioWare series and usual outfit can be worn, each with color varieties of their own. Wario's Chomp involves him biting an opponent while keeping them trapped in his mouth. The potency of his Wario Waft depends on when it was last used, to the point of also functioning like an added jump. Wario can drive on his Wario Bike and ram into opponents with it. Wario's Final Smash transforms him into his superhero form, Wario-Man, who has greater movement and much stronger attacks.
Captain Olimar
OlimarThe Pikmin series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. (newcomer) 		Olimar relies largely on Pikmin while battling, but Olimar has to pluck them from the ground before he can use them. Each Pikmin has their own properties: Blue Pikmin are resistant to water; Red to fire; Yellow to electricity; White to darkness; and Purple Pikmin are strong.
Lucas
LucasThe EarthBound / Mother series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. (newcomer) 		Lucas' special moves are based around PSI attacks, much like Ness's. Lucas' PK Freeze can freeze opponents temporarily. His PK Fire explodes on contact. Lucas's PSI Magnet absorbs projectiles and heals him. Lucas's PK Thunder unleashes a controllable electric projectile, but it can hit Lucas to propel him upward as a recovery. Lucas can use PK Starstorm to unleash several fireballs rain in a fan formation, hurting players that touch them.

Unlockable characters[edit]

Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary is the game's adventure mode. Taking place in the World of Trophies, The Subspace Emissary has a full-length plot and several stages, being more advanced than its equivalent from Super Smash Bros. Melee. The main map shows the world map and which places can be entered, and when the player selects a stage, they can choose which characters in their team to use, with the number of options increasing as the storyline progresses.

Classic mode[edit]

SmashWiki article: Classic Mode (SSBB)
Link, the first opponent of Classic Mode in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The loading screen before each level of Classic mode, with Link acting as the first opponent.

When starting Classic mode, the player chooses a character before going through a series of battles against other fighters. Players go through stages in a certain order, such as a Super Mario stage always being the eighth one. A few of the matches have certain conditions set, like in the mode's previous iteration in Super Smash Bros. Melee. A few examples are the player fighting a giant version of an opponent, either with two allies (only against Giant Yoshi), one ally, or none, or the player fighting a metal version of another player. A small heart appears next to a teammate's logo in matches with allies. When a level is finished, the score is added up, and the player earns coins, which can be used in the Coin Launcher.

Clearing this mode will give the player a trophy of the character used to complete it. When finishing it as Zelda or Sheik, the player can only get the trophy of her current form, like with Samus and Zero Suit Samus. For Pokémon Trainer, Classic Mode must be completed three separate times, each with one of his Pokémon, as clearing it only rewards the player with the trophies of the Trainer and the Pokémon in use when it was cleared.

Classic Mode
Stage 1 The Legend of Zelda (Link, Toon Link, Zelda, Sheik, or Ganondorf)
Stage 2 Yoshi (Yoshi) or Donkey Kong (Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong)
Stage 3 Pokémon (Pokémon Trainer, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, or Lucario)
Stage 4 Fire Emblem (Marth or Ike) or EarthBound (Ness or Lucas)
Bonus Stage 1 Target Smash! (level corresponds to current difficulty)
Stage 5 Kirby (Kirby, Meta Knight, or King Dedede)
Stage 6 Metroid (Samus or Zero Suit Samus) or Pikmin (Olimar)
Stage 7 Star Fox (Fox, Falco, and Wolf) or F-Zero (Captain Falcon)
Stage 8 Super Mario (Mario, Peach, Luigi, or Bowser)
Stage 9 Robot (R.O.B.), Kid Icarus (Pit), Ice Climber (Ice Climbers), or Game & Watch (Mr. Game & Watch)
Stage 10 Wario (Wario), Metal Gear (Snake), or Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic)
Bonus Stage 2 Target Smash! (difficulty level is at one level higher than the current difficulty)
Stage 11 Three random opponents
Final Stage A boss fight against Master Hand as well as Crazy Hand under certain conditions
Bosses[edit]
Image Name Description
Master Hand Master HandThe Super Smash Bros. series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. The final boss of Classic Mode, Master Hand is a mysterious gloved right hand, vaguely referred to as the "manifestation of creative spirit." Crazy Hand
Crazy HandThe Super Smash Bros. series emblem, from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. The left-handed counterpart of Master Hand described as the "manifestation of destructive spirit." Crazy Hand appears in the battle alongside Master Hand under certain conditions: arriving at the final stage on Hard difficulty or higher with no continues and in under nine minutes. If the player loses against both Master Hand and Crazy Hand, the latter will not assist Master Hand.

All-Star mode[edit]

SmashWiki article: All-Star Mode

All-Star mode returns from Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is an unlockable mode that becomes available once all fighters have been unlocked. In addition to single player, the mode supports two players, unlike before, and opponents are sorted by series (and the chronology of their game releases) instead of at random. No more than two foes appear during a battle, excluding the Pokémon stage, because the Pokémon Trainer uses each Pokémon separately.

If All-Star is beaten in Co-op mode, the Final Smash trophies of both characters are unlocked. Similarly to Classic, finishing the mode with Zelda/Sheik or Samus/Zero Suit Samus does not also unlock the trophy of the other form, requiring the mode to be cleared twice. Unlike Classic mode, Pokémon Trainer has only one trophy unlocked for All-Star mode.

Stadium[edit]

SmashWiki article: Stadium

Various minigames are playable in the Stadium, most of which return from Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Image Mode Description
A panoramic view of the Break the Targets! stage of Meta Knight in Super Smash Bros. Brawl Target Smash! Target Smash!! is a slightly altered mode of the Target Test from previous entries. It has five different levels to play on. It was possible to send replays to other players via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection before the service discontinued.
Mario in the Home-Run Contest in Super Smash Bros. Brawl Home-Run Contest Another returning mode is Home-Run Contest. During countdown, the platform is surrounded by a shield, preventing the Sandbag from falling off, although hitting the shield enough breaks it. After ten seconds, the shield disappears, which is when to swing the Home-Run Bat to launch the Sandbag. The mode supports two players, either as co-op or alternating play. Before Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was discontinued, both two-player modes were playable under With Friends.
The options for Multi-Man Brawl in Super Smash Bros. Brawl Multi-Man Brawl Returning from Super Smash Bros. Melee (where it is titled Multi-Man Melee), players have to fight the Fighting Alloy Team. The mode now supports not only single player but also co-op play with two players. Objectives include defeating a certain number of them, fighting them off for a set period of time, or an endless high-score match until the player gets KO'd. Various rewards from the challenges section are obtained in this mode. The following modes appear:
Used in case of images missing from a section gallery, table, bestiary box, or certain infoboxes. Boss Battles Boss Battles is the only Stadium mode original to Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is a variation of All-Star mode that involves fighting every boss from The Subspace Emissary and Classic Mode, both having to be completed before the mode becomes playable. Boss Battles can be played in single-player or in two-player co-op mode. The bosses are fought in no particular order, except the final boss, Tabuu. There is a rest area with three Heart Containers. The player has only one stock. When the player clears the mode, their high score is ranked by how long it took to complete, but if not, it is measured the number of bosses defeated. Players can choose one of the five difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, or Intense. Each difficulty increases the speed of the bosses and how damaging their moves are.

Training[edit]

SmashWiki article: Training Mode

Training is a returning mode in which the player can learn basic controls or experiment with certain functions and items. One to three CPU-controlled fighters can be fought, but there is the option for them to be motionless. Any item can be spawned, which includes the Smash Ball for practicing the character's Final Smash. The hit damage of the CPU can be predefined. The player can set the mode in either slow or quick motion.

Group[edit]

Brawl[edit]

SmashWiki article: Versus Mode
Brawl mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Choosing alternate characters for the start of a match.
4 players begin a match on Skyworld in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Four characters (Donkey Kong, Pit, Falco, Snake) begin their battle in Skyworld.

This is the game's iteration of Versus Mode, in which 2-4 players or computers may battle. Players can select their characters (and optionally an alternate costume), and select the stage to play on. When selecting a fighter with more than one form on the character select screen, the player can choose which form to begin with by clicking the other form, such as Sheik for Zelda. When starting a battle, as the announcer counts down, each fighter appears onscreen with their own animation, such as Mario emerging from a Warp Pipe. A handicap can be set anywhere from 0% damage to 300%, and the handicap has no effect the player's attack strength and knockback resistance, unlike Super Smash Bros. Melee. Even if a player with a handicap is KO'd, they return onscreen with the same handicap percentage of damage.

Rules[edit]

SmashWiki article: Rules

This feature allows the player to control a wide variety of settings for Group mode. The three most basic rules include:

  • Time: Fighters score a point for each KO and lose a point whenever they cross a blast line. When time runs out, the fighter with the most points is determined the winner, though if there is a tie, the match will go into Sudden Death, where each fighter has only one stock and begins at 300% damage. The last one standing wins.
  • Stock: Players have a set number of lives and lose one if they cross the blast line. When a player loses all lives, they do not return. A stock battle can be won by whoever is the last player remaining.
  • Coin: A timed match where fighters collect Smash Coins and Bills for points: Bronze coins are worth one point; silver coins are worth three; gold coins are worth six; and bills are worth ten. Coins and bills spawn whenever a fighter takes damage, and the value of the coins depends on how hard the player had been hit. When fighters fall of the stage, they lose half their points, but if they had 200 or more points, it always reduces to 100. When the timer ends, the person with the most coins wins, though if both end with the same number of coins, a Sudden Death occurs.

Players can adjust not only the handicap, but also the damage ratio, which affects how far a damaged player is launched. The damage ratio is at 1.0 by default, but it can be adjusted to anywhere between 0.5 to 2.0. Players can also determine how the stages are selected, which is by choosing it themselves before each round, but there is a setting to make the loser of the previous battle pick the stage instead. It is possible to determine which items appear and at what frequency.

More rules can be unlocked once at least 200 KOs have been done in Group mode: adjusting the time limit for a stock match; the ability to attack teammates; the inability to pause; displaying the score; and hiding damage percentages. When every stage is unlocked, the player can have the game select a random stage for them to play on.

Special Brawl[edit]

SmashWiki article: Special Smash
The Bunny Hood option for "Special Brawl" mode in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The "Bunny Brawl" setting.

Special Brawl allows for certain customizations before starting a battle. Players can attach items, set stats, and add appearance differences to every player from the start, without having to collect the items themselves. Unlike the Special Melee modes of Super Smash Bros. Melee, the player can use more than one option in Special Brawl. For stamina battles, the player can decide to start anywhere from 1 HP to 300 HP.

Rotation[edit]

SmashWiki article: Rotation

Rotation is a multiplayer mode that expands upon the Winner Out/Loser Out Tournament modes of Super Smash Bros. Melee. Up to sixteen players can play on the same system, with the controller being passed after each battle. Players can optionally use their name and personal controller configuration. The option between Winner Out and Loser Out is still retained, where the controller is given over to the next player after winning or losing, respectively. Players can pause to move themselves at the end of a queue. It remains possible to change one's character in the middle of the mode, like in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Tourney[edit]

SmashWiki article: Tourney (SSBB)

The Tourney mode is the same as the Tournament Mode from Super Smash Bros. Melee. Several players compete in the tourney, each fighting to compete in the championship and win. It is possible to play with friends, or battle CPU characters. Besides decreasing the number of players from 64 to 32 and allowing for more fighters to appear on stage than controllers, little of the mode has changed from Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection[edit]

Smashwiki article: Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The main Wi-Fi menu.

In the mode, players from different parts of the world could compete in a match in either With Friends or With Anyone. The farther apart they were, the slower the connection was. This mode became unavailable as of May 20, 2014, when Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection shut down.

The With Friends mode was restricted only to players who had each other's friend code. Players could choose an emblem, either of the represented series, the characters' icons, or Miis. Players could use taunts to send across one of four messages by pressing up, left, right, or down on the +Control Pad. The Home-Run Contest and Multi-Man Brawl were both also available.

The "With Friends" sub-menu of Nintendo WFC of Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The With Anyone setting was self-explanatory, though players could not send messages nor see the name or details of their opponent. It was not possible to record the results of a battle, unlike in With Friends. In Basic Brawl, players fought in a free for all with two-minute matches. The only setting that could be changed was which items would appear in battle, and the game would select either of the player's preferences. If fewer than four players were present, a CPU filled in for any missing fighter, including those who disconnected during a battle. In Team Brawl, either while the game was loading or players were waiting for opponents, they could practice by attacking the Sandbag from Super Smash Bros. Melee. Players had the choice to spectate the battle and even bet coins on the winner of a match.

Vault[edit]

SmashWiki article: Vault

The Vault features a variety of obtainable items.

Trophies & stickers[edit]

Trophies[edit]
Main article: List of trophies in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

A different set of trophies appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl than in Super Smash Bros. Melee. When a trophy is selected, a description of the character or object portrayed will be displayed, just like in the previous game. There are a total of 544 different trophies to collect. Many trophies can be placed as a part of dioramas, and there are more backgrounds to add to the feature.

Stickers[edit]

Stickers are pieces of 2D game artwork that appear during a stage at random. They are single-use items that power up a fighter in The Subspace Emissary. Unlike trophies, it is possible to obtain more than one sticker of the same type. Any collected stickers are stored in an album, and similarly to trophies, they can decorate a screen using different backgrounds.

Coin Launcher[edit]
SmashWiki article: Coin Launcher
Coin Launcher
The Coin Launcher mode

The de facto successor of the Lottery from Super Smash Bros. Melee, Coin Launcher involves using coins to obtain various trophies and stickers. The player controls the Coin Launcher, a cannon that shoots any collected coins. A few types of several moving objects show up regularly, and each type travels across the screen in a different formation and direction. Often, if every enemy has been shot in a particular group formation, the player will receive a sticker. Trophies move across the screen in a predetermined manner. A trophy can be collected upon hitting it with two or four coins. The main hazards are missiles, which are aimed towards the Coin Launcher, with each one taking two hits to destroy. Missiles move at varying speeds, and they sometimes show up in groups. The player loses ten coins any time a missile hits the Coin Launcher. A green gauge on the bottom left of the screen can be filled up completely to allow the player to rapid-fire coins for a short time. It is filled slightly whenever a missile is destroyed, or a certain number of moving objects, but decreases when hit by a missile.

Stage Builder[edit]

SmashWiki article: Stage Builder
The Stage Builder from Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Mario and Luigi battle on a stage, made by the Stage Builder.

Stage Builder allows for the creation of custom stages. Players have to first choose the size of the stage, decide on the backdrop, and the background music. After doing so, the player can begin to add pieces to the stage, including platforms, ladders, and spikes. Pieces can be flipped, resized, zoomed, have their palettes swapped, or be erased. Once a fraction of the stage has been built, the player has the option of trying it out before saving. Once the stage is completed, the player can choose a name and comment, or change the background music. It was possible to send the custom stage to other players via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. It also used to be possible to send the stage to Nintendo using the "Submit" option on the Stage Builder screen, and every day through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Nintendo would switch between a custom stage for players to try out.

Challenges[edit]

Main article: Challenges (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl challenges
The Challenges screen.

Challenges consists of 128 specific objectives that the player can fulfill to unlock trophies, stages, CDs, stickers, Stage Builder parts, and Masterpieces. Each of the unfinished challenges are locked behind a closed window. When the player unlocks an item by winning a challenge, any unobtained items to the left and right of it on the menu appears in a red silhouette, and their method of unlocking is displayed. Golden Hammers could be won and used once on a window of the player's choice (excluding those involving boss battles), allowing the player to get the reward immediately without fulfilling the objective.

Album[edit]

SmashWiki article: Album

Screenshots can be taken by the player while pausing the game and saved either on the Wii's internal memory or an SD card. The feature was upgraded over the special camera mode from Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Replays[edit]

SmashWiki article: Replays

Replays allow players to rewatch a recorded battle. They are usable in a single Brawl in Group Mode, Target Smash!!, Home-Run Contest, or Multi-Man Brawl. A replay can be recorded by pressing the Z button within three minutes after the match or challenge has ended. Replays are saved to either the Vault or on an SD card directly. Target Smash!! and Home-Run Contest records could be submitted to Nintendo prior to June 30, 2009.

Options[edit]

SmashWiki article: Options

Various settings can be changed, including the aspect ratio, the graphics, the rumble feature, set control schemes to assign to names, and adjust the music and sound effect volume while having quick access to the Sound Test. Lastly, there is the option to erase all data or of certain records only.

My Music[edit]

SmashWiki article: My Music

My Music for Delfino Plaza.

Every stage has a selection of music tracks originating usually from the game series, and players can choose which music track to play on a stage using the My Music mode. It is not possible to play every existing track on any of the stages. The player can adjust how like a song is to play on a stage. More tracks become available as more CDs are collected.

Data[edit]

SmashWiki article: Data

A variety of random content can be looked at from the Data section. There are four-page records of group matches: The first page is a chart showing the number of KOs fighters have performed on each other; the second page shows the top five fighters for each of several stats, such as KO's, falls, self-destructs, victories, losses, peak damage, walking distance, the time spent swimming, and more; the third page lists all the same stats for every fighter; and the fourth and final page similarly lists all the same stats for each name, including their first, second, and least commonly used fighters. Players can also view miscellaneous gameplay sections, such as the total time played, the number of matches played, the commonly used fighter, and number of trophies collected. Notices are also saved in the order in which they had been shown. Any cutscenes from The Subspace Emissary that have been played at least once can be rewatched from Movies, as well as five other pre-rendered videos: How to Play, the E3 2006 trailer, another introductory video, and a video on the two third-party fighters each, Sonic and Snake. From the Sound Test, the player can hear different sound effects and listen to various songs, each showing which game they are from when selected.

Staff[edit]

Main article: List of Super Smash Bros. Brawl staff

Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of the Kirby and the Super Smash Bros. series, was the game director, being heavily involved in its production. The game also uses the Havok game engine, a trait shared by various other non-Nintendo games, making it the first Super Smash Bros. game and the only Nintendo game to do so. Other companies have been involved in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's development, especially for its extensive soundtrack, including Camelot Co., Ltd., Namco Bandai Games Inc., and Monolith Software Inc.

Pre-release and unused content[edit]

Early in development, a damage system would have been implemented that would cause characters to shown signs of visible damage and strain during prolonged battles. Among those found included Meta Knight's mask that would develop large cracks, or Captain Falcon's helmet whose visor would crack to reveal a part of his face.

Glitches[edit]

Main article: List of Super Smash Bros. Brawl glitches

Infinite lightning glitch[edit]

First, the player must choose Zelda/Sheik. The other player must use a lightning bolt to make them either shrink or grow. Once the player has changed size, they must use their Down+B special move to transform to Sheik/Zelda. The player can transform back to who they were before; this is optional. By doing this very simple glitch, Zelda/Sheik will stay at their size forever. However, this glitch will only keep working until Zelda/Sheik is affected by another size-changing item.

This glitch will work with any mode, any color, any size (Mini or Mega Brawl) and any rule. As long as items are turned on and lightning bolts are able to spawn.

Play as Giant Jigglypuff[edit]

First, the player must select the Bridge of Eldin stage. The player should also have a Final Smash prepared. King Bulbin will eventually come and destroy part of the bridge with a bomb. Soon after, a portal will restore that part of the bridge. When the matter begins to rebuild the bridge, the player has to use the Final Smash in midair in the gap. Jigglypuff will begin to inflate while the bridge is getting mended. When the bridge is completely fixed, Jigglypuff should bounce up onto the bridge and remain giant. Its attacks are completely the same, only that they have a much longer reach. Its movement seems to have slowed somewhat as well. It also becomes a very easy target and is simple to KO, as the slightest touch of the KO range will take it out. With this glitch activated, having Yoshi perform his Egg Lay attack will make Jigglypuff grow even bigger.

Smash Bros. DOJO!![edit]

SmashWiki article: Smash Bros. DOJO!! (SSBB)

Smash Bros. DOJO!! is the game's official website, which provided constant public updates on the game for almost one year prior to its release. It was maintained by Masahiro Sakurai, who updated it one to three times every week day at 15:00 EDT. The website reported on new characters, items, stages, and game modes, and has official movies and music from the game. Its first post, which explains the basics of Super Smash Bros. games, was published on May 22, 2007.[9][10]

Reception[edit]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl received critical acclaim from most publications; receiving praise for its amount of play modes and its extensive soundtrack. Many songs in the game would be reused in future Super Smash Bros. installments. As of March 31, 2020, the game sold 13.32 million units worldwide.[11]

Reviews
Release Reviewer, Publication Score Comment
Wii Aaron Linde, Destructoid 9.5/10 "In Brawl, Nintendo has handily produced one of the most compelling, rich and densely-packed experiences available on any console. A must-buy for Wii owners and a compelling lure for those who have yet to adopt the system, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is one of Nintendo's finest efforts yet."
Wii James Temperton, Cubed3 9/10 "We not going to score it a perfect ten as we managed to spend a good few paragraphs nit picking out things we don't like, that's not to say this game isn't totally brilliant. Its a bit like a total snob going to a really good restaurant and complaining that the sauce drizzled delicately over the perfectly cooked pork joint is just a bit too tangy and making a scene about it. We're the snobs, Brawl is the pork and oh so very slightly erroneous sauce. What's great about this game is the way in which anyone can enjoy it. Single player, multiplayer, online multiplayer, sitting-around-looking-at-trophies player, this game has it all. Epic, beautiful and quite wonderfully Nintendo in its almost sexual brilliance. Arousing stuff."
Wii Tom Bramwell, Eurogamer 9/10 "However, control and structural quirks will struggle to compromise your long-term entertainment - and Brawl really does offer that. It's consistently satisfying over long periods, fulfilling its usual role of dominating a willing crowd's evening into the early hours, and now allowing you to sustain that after everyone's gone home using the Internet. Really the only reason you wouldn't feel that way would be if you didn't stick with it past the dizzying first quarter of an hour, or if you don't like Nintendo characters - and if you don't in either case then you probably aren't reading this anyway, and the prospect of Triforce-smashing your friends to death won't mean anything. Otherwise, persist, and enrich yourself, and wonder where on earth it all goes next."
