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


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


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


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


At the beginning of the story, [[Zelda]] and [[Princess Peach|Peach]] watch trophies of [[Mario]] and [[Kirby]] fall into an arena and transform into their living counterparts. They proceed to do battle, while [[Pit]] watches from [[Skyworld]], cheering them both on. After his defeat, Mario or Kirby is transformed into a [[Trophy]], which the other revives into his living counterpart. However, [[Meta Knight]]'s ship, the [[Battleship Halberd|Halberd]], flies over the main stadium. It sprays purple spores into the arena, called [[shadowbugs]], which then takes the form of a group of strange robotic-looking creatures, called the [[Primid]]. Zelda and Peach run to assist Mario and Kirby, and all five of them will fight the Primid. The Ancient Minister then arrives on a floatind platform, and drops down a [[Subspace Bomb]], which is activated by two [[R.O.B.]]s. The bomb then shows a detonation timer, indicating that it will explode in three minutes. Mario hurries to deactivate it, but is bombed out of the stadium by a giant cannonball. Kirby ponders what to do, and realize that Peach and Zelda have been entrapped by cages held by [[Petey Piranha]]. Petey Piranha proceeds to attack Kirby, by swinging the cages at them. They dodge, and start to weaken the cages with his attacks. Kirby eventually defeats Petey Piranha, causing him to explode. One of the princesses lands next to Kirby, while the other is flung away on the other side of the arena. Suddenly, out of nowhere, [[Wario]] drops in, wielding an unusual machine. He notices Kirby and the rescued princess, but then turns around to the unrescued princess. He points his machine at her, and fires it. A black arrow projected from the device's nozzle, and strikes the unrescued princess, who is then transformed into a Trophy, which Wario promptly carries away.  Kirby and the rescued princess start to pursue him, but Kirby notices that the Subspace Bomb is about to explode. The stadium is then sucked into [[Subspace (SSB)|Subspace]], but Kirby and the rescued princess ride a [[Warp Star]] and escape the stadium.
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:


[[Image:Brawl_DKStory.jpg|thumb|Enemies stealing [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Banana Hoard]].]]
<gallery>
Meanwhile, in Skyworld, Pit gazes at the stadium, and notices the devastating effects of the Subspace Bomb. He is then called forth by [[Palutena]], who gives him the Bow of Palutena. She sends Pit on a mission to save the world from the Subspace Army, and assist the others who are trying to save it. Pit then hurries off to the edge of Skyworld, and flies down to the world, to assist in saving it from the Subspace Army.  The Halberd appears over the space where Pit landed, creating more Primids. He defeats various Subspace enemies, until he eventually reaches a platform. Looking across the clouds, he sees the trophy of Mario sticking out. Hopping over to a platform concealed by the clouds, he turns Mario into a living being again. Once Mario recalls the events that have previously happened to him, the two understand that they are working towards the same goal, and head off. Elsewhere, in an island jungle, a [[Hammer Bro.]] and a [[Goomba]] pile [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Banana Hoard]] onto a hovercraft, which they proceed to drive away. Upon battling several of the [[Koopa Troop]]'s minions (even smashing a [[Koopa Troopa]] into the ground, similar to ''[[Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat]]''), Donkey Kong readies to follow the Hammer Bro. and the Goomba, and get his treasured Banana Hoard back. The Goomba jumps down from the pile onto two cannons, which fires three Bullet Bills towards him. Out from the foliage behind, [[Diddy Kong]] appears, with two Peanut Popguns, and intercepts them all. Both Donkey Kong and his friend, Diddy Kong, set off after the Banana Hoard thieves. Upon finding it, they are encountered by Bowser, who wields the same device held by Wario. Bowser proceeds to turn Donkey Kong into a trophy, doing so just as Donkey Kong punches Diddy into the sky, sending him away. Meanwhile, Kirby and the rescued princess are chased by the Halberd. They are forced to land on it, but an [[Arwing]] appears. It swiftly dodges the beams that are fired at it from the Halberd, until a claw-like device is projected from the Halberd, slamming into the Arwing. The Arwing flies downward in smoke, knocking off Kirby and the rescued princess off the surface of the Halberd on its way. Apparently, the Arwing is knocked out of the skies by the Halberd, and lands on [[Donkey Kong Island]]. Meanwhile, Diddy Kong starts to swing through the jungle. When he reaches a pond, he notices a damaged Arwing near the lake. As he heads towards it, [[Rayquaza]] emerges from the lake, and sets the Arwing aflame with a Dragon Pulse. As Diddy stares in fear and awe, Rayquaza quickly snatches him and flies back into the lake. [[Fox McCloud]] is ejected from the destroyed Arwing, and uses [[Fox Illusion]] to swift pass the dragon's hand, causing it to release Diddy. As Rayquaza uses another Dragon Pulse, Fox uses his [[Reflector]], which deflects the attack back at Rayquaza, causing it to retreat back into the lake, though it recuperates and a battle ensues. Following Rayquaza's defeat, Diddy literally drags Fox into his dilemma. Deeper in the jungle, they find a trophy of Bowser, which is quickly swallowed into the ground by some shadowbugs. It turns out that the fake trophy was a trap set by Bowser to try and turn Diddy and Fox into trophies with his gun. Diddy, desiring to avenge Donkey, steps up to fight Bowser, but Fox quickly grabs him and they both run away, as Bowser laughs.

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

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

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

In another area, a team of [[Waddle Dee]]s come from behind [[Luigi]], who is scared to death. By Luigi's suprise, [[King Dedede]] suddenly appears and with his hammer, attacks him. He launches him into the sky, turning him into a trophy. Dedede retreats as Wario comes by with a trophy carrier containing Ness and either Peach or Zelda. Wario notices the Luigi trophy and springs on it but it was a trap as the Waddle Dees attack him. Dedede takes all three trophies as Wario looks up, dazed and confused, and angrliy yells at the dissappearing car.
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]].
 
{{br}}
In a deep forest, [[Link]] is traveling, intent on getting something with [[Navi]] by his side. He walks up to a stone with the Master Sword sticking out, and pulls it out. As he leaves, he passes a sleeping [[Yoshi]] on a stump. Link stops in his tracks, and sees the Halberd flying overhead. He gets his sword ready while a confused Yoshi joins him. After passing through the forest, they look up at the leaving Halberd.

Meanwhile, the trio of swordsmen find a seemingly inactive tank, which then activates and reveals a huge mech called Galleom. They fight and, after the robot is defeated, it jumps off a cliff and through the stone ground below, as Ike, Marth and Meta Knight only look on, unable to do anyhting. As it turns out, Lucas and the Pokémon Trainer had wound up in the chamber in which Galleom lands, damaged. They prepare to fight, but Galleom snatches them with only its right hand (rendering the Trainer unconscious in the process), and reveals itself to be a huge, walking Subspace Bomb, much to Lucas' horror. Galleom then rocketblasts up and, when it is ready to detonate, Lucas uses his power to sever its hand, making them fall as Galleom detonates up above. When Lucas thinks he will get his last breath, holding the Pokémon Trainer closely, Meta Knight swoops and saves them in the nick of time, as the huge Subspace orb sucks a Wario trophy in.
 
On a floating island base, [[Zero Suit Samus]] is breaking in. She loads her gun and runs through the base. She ends up in a testing room, with [[Pikachu]] being tested. Pikachu is getting shocked painfully, but Samus destroys the testing tube Pikachu is in. Unfortunately, this sets off an alarm, and a team of R.O.B.s attack them. They pass through them, and end up in a surveillance room. Samus then sees what she was looking for, her [[Power Suit]].
 
Meanwhile, Kirby and the rescued princess are in a long field. Suddenly Dedede drives by and Kirby runs after him, leaving the princess alone. [[Bowser]] then sneaks up from behind the princess and turns her into a trophy, which is subsequently cloned by a giant clone of Bowser. Link/Mario and Yoshi/Pit run by her without noticing. The Peach/Zelda clone attempts to turn them into a trophy, but the gun is cut in half by Link/Mario and Yoshi/Pit. They defeat her, and her glowing self dissappears and turns back into a trophy.  Mario/Link was watching the entire thing and attempts to punch/slash Link/Mario. Link/Mario manages to dodge it, and the two teams battle each other. The losing teammates are turned into trophies, which are grabbed by an arm from King Dedede's car as he's speeding away. Fortunatley, Kirby breaks the arm and turns Link/Mario and Yoshi/Pit back to normal. King Dedede retreats while Mario, Link, Kirby, Yoshi, and Pit pursue him.
 
In a control room, [[Ganondorf]] orders Bowser to track down Dedede, and gives him his location. Lucas and Pokémon Trainer are by a tall anticline, and see [[Charizard]] flying into a cave.  They follow Charizard through what appears to be the ruins of a temple, where Wario appears. Lucas remembers who he is, and they attack. After Wario is turned into a trophy, Lucas remembers Ness again and wonders where his trophy is. He and Pokémon Trainer hear a growl within the mountain and continue the search for Charizard.
 
Meanwhile, King Dedede is in his castle, looking at his trophies of the princess, Luigi, and Ness. He puts a cap with his face on it on all of them, until Bowser attacks the castle with his minions and takes the princess's trophy. Link, Mario, Yoshi, Pit, and Kirby enter Dedede's castle and notice a hole in the wall, which they enter. They chase Bowser all the way out of the castle and to a cliff. Mario attempts to attack Bowser, but he uses Peach as a shield and is forced to stand down.
 
Pit shoots an arrow at Bowser which he dodges, falling off of the cliff while Peach loses her cap. Bowser ends up in his [[Koopa Clown Car]], and flies away with her to the Halberd. Kirby looks at the fallen cap, confused. Meanwhile, the Ancient Minister plants a bomb at Dedede's castle, which explodes and sends it to Subspace. Ganondorf is watching on a monitor, and [[Master Hand]] appears on it, seeming to order Ganondorf to do something. Ganondorf complies, and bows down.
 
Meanwhile, the Pokémon Trainer, Lucas, and Squirtle fight through a cave. They find a trophy of [[Ivysaur]], which the Pokémon Trainer retrieved into a Pokeball. They continue to fight through the cave, until they find Charizard. They fight Charizard, and Pokemon trainer captures Charzard with his Pokeball. The two eventually end up in a tower.
 
Marth, Ike, and Meta Knight fight Primids in a Desert. They also fight other creatures. They end up looking at a vehicle. It transforms into a purple monster with a lot of armor. After they beat it up it falls into a ruin and the floor collapses. The monster falls down the hole into the tower Lucas and Pokemon Trainer were in. They fight him but he grabs them. He shoots out of the place. Meta Knight shoots the monster and grabs the two. Wario's trophy gets sucked in an explosion. Pokemon Trainor and Lucas being carried by Meta Knight meet up with Marth and Ike. Pit shoots at the Ancient Minister who avoids the attack. Pit, Mario, Yoshi, Kirby, and Link chase after him. They fight enimies in a desert area.
 
While they are fighting, two R.O.B.s detonate a bomb. Pit and Mario start attacking but are grabbed by two other R.O.B.s and taken away. The Ancient Minister watches sadly as the R.O.B.s wave at him as he leaves. The bomb explodes, however Mario hops on Yoshi and everyone else hops on Kirby's Warp Star and they all leave the area.
 
Fox fight through the Donkey Kong Island with Diddy Kong. Eventually, they see Bowser. Bowser shoots Diddy and attempts to shoot Fox. However, soon, [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]] arrives and shoots Bowser with his own gun. Diddy transforms into a giant evil Diddy. Bowser flies away in his Koopa Clown Car. After defeating giant Diddy, the three continue through the jungle. They see a ship with Donkey Kong's statue and scream at it.
 
Meanwhile, Pikachu and Zero Suit Samus go through a warehouse like place. A bunch of Samus clones cmes out of nowhere. After they defeat them an alarm goes off and R.O.B's come from everywhere. Samus gets on her Power Suit on and shoots them all. They continue along, however soon, [[Ridley]] flies by, grabbing Samus and scraping her against a wall. Pikachu [[Thunderbolt]]s Ridley and Ridley lets go of Samus who falls on the ground weakened however she manages to get up. They fight Ridley, defeating him. They end up outside seeing a bomb.
 
[[Pikmin]] start to hit a giant R.O.B. somewhere else. R.O.B. simply spins around knocking them all off and killing them. [[Captain Olimar]] is shocked and scared, however his Red Pikmin tells him about a new visitor. The [[Blue Falcon]] speeds through the forest. [[Captain Falcon]] jumps out of the car [[Falcon Punch]]es the robot and it explodes but he also accidentally kills a bunch of Pikmin during the process. The two decide to team up and they run along some old ruins fighting things. They notice Fox's ship and the one with Donkey Kong. Diddy shoots the ship and Captain Falcon and Captain Olimar run to assist.  Diddy brings Donkey Kong back to life and they are attacked by Primids.  The ship enters a cave area and Falco flies away.
 
Elsewhere, the Halberd is engaged in a laser duel with the Great Fox while Marth, Meta-knight, Lucas, the Pokemon Trainer, and Ike are watching.  Meta-knight flies up the mountain and sees the Ice Climbers on their way to the ships already.  After this team reaches the top of the mountain they see Lucario meditating.  He jumps down and challenges Meta-knight to a fight.  After the fight the loser is turned into a trophy then turned back. When they find and kill Meta Ridley, Taboo shows up for the final duel.

| align=center | [[Master Hand]]
|[[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|wall jump]]. For his Final Smash, Mario blasts a giant fireball that moves slowly and horizontally.
| The final boss of Classic mode, Master Hand is sometimes referred to as the "manifestation of creative spirit" in the Smash Bros. universe. Master Hand's existence is still a shadowed one, therefore little is known of them.

|{{iw|zeldawiki|Link}} is a moderate fighter who uses various equipment while fighting. His {{iw|zeldawiki|Bomb}}s affect himself and opponents alike. His {{iw|zeldawiki|Boomerang}} can damage and push opponents, as well as move items. Link's {{iw|zeldawiki|Bow}} can shoot {{iw|zeldawiki|Arrow}}s. Link's {{iw|zeldawiki|Spin Attack}} counts as an extra jump for recovering, though he can still use it on the ground. Link's {{iw|zeldawiki|Claw Shot}} has a reach capable of grabbing opponents and ledges. Link can block projectiles using his own {{iw|zeldawiki|shield}}. Link uses his Final Smash to slash the opponent next to him several times, and lastly one powerful slash.
| Petey Piranha captures Peach and Zelda within cages as the Subspace Army assaults the Arena, and the player has to fight him as  Kirby, being able to rescue only one of the princesses. Petey actually uses the cages to attack the player. When one of the cages is attacked, its life decreases. The princess within the cage to lose all of its health and break first is the one the player ends up saving. After this is accomplished, Petey is defeated and burns to the ground.

|{{iw|metroidwiki|Samus}} has great projectiles, is {{iw|smashwiki|Weight|heavy}}, and falls at a {{iw|smashwiki|Falling speed|floaty}} speed. After using her Final Smash, Samus loses her suit, becoming Zero Suit Samus.  
| After Fox's Arwing crashes into the Jungle, Rayquaza emerges from a nearby lake and destroys what is left of the ship. Having watched this take place, Diddy Kong is captured by Rayquaza. Fox is ejected from the Arwing at the last second and rescues Diddy. A battle with Rayquaza commences. Rayquaza uses attacks such as Hyper Beam during the battle, often flying on and off the screen during its mad rushes, and falls to the ground in defeat after it has lost all of its health.

|{{iw|wikirby|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 {{iw|wikirby|inhale}} an opponent and copy their {{iw|smashwiki|standard special move}} or spit them out. Kirby can use his {{iw|wikirby|Hammer}} not only on the ground but also in midair. Kirby can become a {{iw|wikirby|Stone}} to slam onto opponents, also giving him temporary protection from most attacks. With {{iw|wikirby|Final Cutter}}, Kirby takes out his {{iw|wikirby|sword}} and slashes upward then down, also forming a fast shockwave if it lands on the ground.
| [[Samus]]'s nemesis in the ''[[:Category:Metroid Series|Metroid series]]'' quite suddenly appears right after Samus recovers her Power Suit within a floating island in the sky. Ridley grabs Samus and flys in a wide circle around the chamber, scraping Samus against the wall in the process. Samus's companion, Pikachu, uses Thunder to bring Ridley and Samus back to a platform where the battle takes place. Like Rayquaza, Ridley often flys on and off the screen during the battle. He has several attacks, including one in which he scrapes his tail against the ground. After the player depletes his life bar as either Samus or Pikachu, Ridley falls off the platform.

Fox can use Fire Fox to perform a fiery charge in any direction. For his Final Smash, Fox uses his {{iw|lylatwiki|Landmaster}}.
| A large Subspace Army mech, Galleom is fought in two phases. During the first phase, he is fought by [[Marth]], [[Ike]], and [[Meta Knight]].  After he is defeated, he falls down into the ruins, crashing through the floor to confront [[Lucas]] and the [[Pokémon Trainer]].  After being defeated, Galleom activates the Subspace Bomb within its head and attempts to take them with it; however, the two are rescued just in time by Meta Knight.

Diddy's Final Smash involves using both his Rocketbarrel and Peanut Popgun to shoot several peanuts below rapidly.
| Ridley makes a return appearance in his cybernetically enhanced form from ''Metroid Prime'', this time challenging Samus, Pikachu, Captain Falcon, Captain Olimar, R.O.B., Diddy Kong, and Donkey Kong. He chases after the group as they escape the floating island in Captain Falcon's ship.  His attacks include fireballs, rushing at the player, and influencing the ship in various ways, such as forcing it downward and making it rock back and forth.

A new battle mechanic is 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]].  
*Final Smash: {{iw|smashwiki|Light Arrow}}
 
Also, certain characters can crawl (I.E [[Bowser]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Ivysaur]], [[Lucario]],[[Luigi]], [[Pikachu]], [[Sheik]], [[Snake]], [[Squirtle]], [[Wario]], [[Yoshi]],[[Zero Suit Samus]]).
 
Additionally, a new technique called the [[Footstool Jump]] is 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 are be able to perform Meteor Smashes by doing this as well. The [[Tether Recovery]] is 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]] is also a technique in this game, available only to characters with wings. When used, players are able to glide across the stage, and be able to control the way they fly. They can direct themselves upwards, or downwards, depending on the Button Combination used.
 
The game also features three different [[Taunt]]s for each character.
 
The game is controlled with one of the four controlling methods:

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 + 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).

*Down: {{iw|smashwiki|Pokémon Change}}

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.
}}
 
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 it, too, is defeated. The player is able to use [[Stickers|Sticker]] power-ups for the mode. The stickers are arranging on the character's [[Trophy Stand]] and give bonuses on Launch Power, Launch Resistance, and powers and resistances to several attacks like Arm, Weapon, Slash, Electric and Flame. The effects vary from sticker to sticker. When the player dies and get a [[Game Over]], he or she will lose half of their stickers.
 
It has been stated that most unlockable characters of the game will be unlocked by playing the ''Subspace Emissary'' mode. The Adventure mode comes in the difficulty settings ''Easy'', ''Normal'', ''Hard'', ''Very Hard'' and ''Intense'', which can be selected on the World Map.
[[Image:Brawl_Classic_Mode.jpg|thumb|[[Link]] acting as the first opponent.]]
 
====Boss Battle Mode====
This mode is unlocked after the player completes the Subspace Emissary. It allows a character to fight the bosses with one life and health enemies, similar to All-star. Players can set 5 levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and Intense. A video can be seen here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=l_s5fwuH-Ik
====Classic Mode====
Classic Mode returns from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', acting the exact same way. Players pick a character, and then continue through a barrage of fights. Each stage appears in a certain order, with a Legend of Zelda stage appearing first, and a Pokémon stage appearing third. Like the last game, certain conditions are set in a few matches. A few examples are the player and two teammates fighting a giant opponent, or the player having to fight a [[Metal Box|metal]] version of another player. A small heart will appear next to a teammate's logo. When a level is finished, the score will be added up, and coins will be earned. These can be used in the Coin Launcher.
 
====Events====
''Events'' are an updated version of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Event Matches. They are pre-definded missions to be solved by the player. Each event is represented by a small preview screenshot on the event list, and a difficulty (Easy &ndash; Normal &ndash; Hard) can be selected. Several events are also avaiable in the co-op mode, which allows two players at a time to play. In this mode, they cooperate, thus cannot fight each other. Known events are:

!Super Bowser Bros.
|[[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)|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.

*Sonic Boom
====Stadium====
*Live & Learn
The Stadium offers several mini-games, as previously in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Some modes from the predecessor are returning.
*Sonic Heroes
[[Image:sandybrawlbag.jpg|thumb|Mario along with Sandbag and a Bat.]]
*Seven Rings in Hand
 
*Green Hill Zone
=====Home-Run Contest=====
*Super Sonic Racing
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.
*Scrap Brain Zone
 
*Emerald Hill Zone
=====Target Smash!!=====
*Open Your Heart
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.
*Right There, Ride On
 
*HIS WORLD (Instrumental)
=====Multi-Man Brawl=====
[[Image:Multimanselection.jpg|thumb|left|145px|Selection Screen.]]
Another returning feature is the Multi-Man Brawl, known as Multi-Man Melee in the previous game.  In this mode, players fight the enormous [[Fighting Alloy Team]].  Objectives include defeating a certain number of Alloys, fighting them off for a set period of time, or fighting endlessly for a high score.
 
New additions to the mode include its inclusion in two-player mode, whereas in ''Melee'' the mode was strictly single player.  The [[Fighting Wire Frame]]s have been replaced by the Alloys.  While there were only two types of Wire Frames, there are four types of Alloys.  Masahiro Sakurai has not yet specified the differences between the fighting styles of the four enemies.
 
====Training====
The ''Training'' mode returns from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It allows the player to learn to play the game properly, or to experiment with certain functions and items. The player fights one to three characters, which are controlled by the CPU, which performs actions set by the player, or does not move at all. The player can create any item to test it, as well as the Smash Ball to practice Final Smashes. The hit damage of the CPU can be predefined, and the game can be put in slow motion.
 
===Group===
====Brawl====
[[Image:Brawl_Brawl.jpg|left|thumb|Choosing alternate characters for the start of a match.]]
The Brawl mode which was playable at the October Nintendo event featured a simple two minute time match, but there are going to be other modes in the full game as well, such as the [[Smash Coin|Coin Battle]]. In the demo, the players can select their characters, who also have alternate costumes, and choose the stage to play on. As the battle begins, each character appears with their specific entrance. For example, Samus comes out of a teleporter and Mario out of a [[Warp Pipe]]. These entrances were present in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', but not in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
 
As in the last two games, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' also has ''Handicaps'' to help beginners in battles. However, this time, handicaps do not make a player weaker the more times he/she is knocked out, but instead, change a players starting damage percentage. For example, one player can start at 0% of damage, but the other starts at 50%, even after he/she has been knocked out. This allows players to test their skills, or just to give them a challenge, as well as helping beginners learn the basics.
 
For characters with distinct forms, the character selection screen allows the player to choose with which to start. This means characters like Zelda can be used to select Sheik. Depending on the choice, that will be the character the player starts as in the beginning of the match.
[[Image:BrawlBunnyHood.jpg|thumb|The "Bunny Brawl" setting.]]
 
====Special Brawl====
A new feature is the ''Special Brawl''. Using this, players are able to customize the battle themselves. This means they can attach items, set stats, and add appearance differences to all the players, right from the start of the battle, without having to collect the items themselves. The Special Brawl, thus, allows players to try a variety of settings such as Invisible Bunny Brawl, instead of the settings given on a certain type of battle (as seen in previous with the Special Melee modes in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'').
 
====Rotation====
The ''Rotation'' mode is an enhanced version of the ''Winner Out/Loser Out'' Tournament modes of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It allows more than four players to play at the same system, by passing the controllers on after each battle. Up to sixteen players can be put into the queue, with each given the possibility to use their name and their personal controller configuration. However, this is not required. There is still the option between ''Winner Out'' and ''Loser Out'', where the winner or the loser of the match pass the controller on to the next player after the match, respectively. Additionally, players have the option to pause, i. e. moving themselves at the end of the queue. The mode is available when two or more controllers are connected to the Wii. It remains unconfirmed whether players will be able to change their characters while the mode is ongoing, as it was the case in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
 
====Tourney====
The ''Tourney Mode'' from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' (then "Tournament Mode") will be returning, acting the exact same way as it did in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Players are able to brawl in a tourney, that can have up to 32 players, and will have to fight their way to the championship, eventually earning a cup if they win. It is possible to play with friends, or battle CPU characters. Apart from decreasing the total number of players from 64 to 32, nothing appears to have been changed from the ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' version.
 
===Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection===
[[Image:BrawlWi-Fi.jpg|thumb|left|The main Wi-Fi menu.]]
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was confirmed to be in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. However, similar to what happened with ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', the game tends to slow down and fail a lot more the further the players are. So, playing a game from Japan to America will slow the game down, and cause some problems in the battle. Regardless, the game is still capable of connecting overseas. The two modes are ''With Friends'' and ''With Anyone''.
 
When playing with friends, players use friend codes in order to brawl with each other. They choose an emblem to represent themselves. Emblems can be the games' series emblems, the characters' icons or [[Mii]]s. In this mode, players are able to send messages to each other in-game, using the [[Taunt]] command. Players can send four different kinds of messages, one for each direction: up, down, left, and right. Results are recorded only in this mode. The [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stadium|Homerun Contest]] is also playable in this mode.
 
[[Image:Multimenbrawl.jpg|thumb|The ''With Friends'' mode selection screen.]]
When brawling in the ''With Anyone'' setting, players are unable to send messages to each other in-game, and neither can they see the name or details of their opponent. Also, the results of the battle are not recorded in the ''With Anyone'' mode. There are several modes in the ''With Anyone'' setting. In the ''Basic Brawl'', players play against each other without teams. When a player disconnects from the Wi-Fi connection while battling, a CPU takes over his or her character. Unlockable characters are also available in this setting for a player who has unlocked them. Because of this, Nintendo recommends players not to use the ''Basic Brawl'' setting if one is not wanting to get the unlockable characters spoiled. A different mode in the ''With Anyone'' setting is the ''Team Brawl'', which has yet to be revealed. While the game is loading, or while the players are waiting for other opponents, they can practice the game by attacking the [[Sandbag]] from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It has also been revealed that players can choose to be spectators of the battle, and even bet coins on who will win.
 
===Stage Builder===
[[Image:Stage_Builder.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Stage Builder in action.]]
Players create custom stages using this mode. When making the stage, players first pick the size of the stage, and then creating a background pattern, as well as the music that will play on the stage (with only the music tracks found on [[CD]] being playable). Once done, the player can start adding pieces to the stage, whether it be simple platforms to ladders to spikes. However, each of the four control types have different ways to move the pieces, however, they are all able to flip, resize, zoom, swap palettes and erase pieces of the stage. After building a fraction of the stage, it can be tested out before being saved. This can be done several times, if it is necessary. After the stage is finished, the name and comment can be chosen, as well as an option to change the music of the stage. It can be sent to other players via Wi-Fi Connection, but can also be sent directly to Nintendo using the "Submit" option on the Stage Builder screen. Every day, Nintendo will send a selected stage to every player with Wi-Fi and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', so they can try out the stages that other people have made. The stage gets removed after a day has passed, and a new one is brought in the next day. This allows players to make and try out new stages for themselves every day.
[[Image:CoinLauncher.jpg|thumb|Screen shot of an in session Coin Launcher.]]
 
===Coin Launcher===
The ''Coin Launcher'' is a mini-game available in the ''Vault'', replacing the ''Lottery mode'' from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. In this game, the player can use the coins which they have won in the Classic Mode, the Group mode or by betting on the winner in the Wi-Fi connection's ''Spectator Mode'', to get trophies and stickers. The player controls the Coin Launcher, a cannon that shoots with the coins the player has collected. By hitting the targets on the screen with coins, they can win various collectibles. Enemies also appear and if one of their rockets hits the Coin Launcher, the player will lose coins. There is also a green gauge on the screen which allows the player to rapid-fire coins for a short time when it is filled.
 
===Various Features===
Another inclusion is a feature called ''My Music''. Instead of restricting each stage to one music track, with some having an alternate music track, people can now choose which music track they want to play on the stage. For example, on the [[Delfino Plaza]] stage, players can choose between the Delfino Plaza theme from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the Castle Music/Fortress Boss from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the Ending/Title Screen of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', the main theme to ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', and many more. Players can set how commonly the track may appear on the stage. To add more music to the collection, the player must collect a [[CD]], which randomly appears across the entire game, in any of the numerous modes of play.
 
[[Trophy|Trophies]] have been confirmed to be returning in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. They act the same way, being collected the same way, but there are now new trophies, and they are more easily stored, as an image of the trophy will be seen when selecting a trophy. They can also be displayed the same way they were in ''Melee''. Another new feature, is that many trophies can be placed together on the same spot, making it seem like a "play". There are also more backgrounds, that can add to this new feature.
 
Throughout the game, players will be rewarded with [[stickers]]. Like trophies, these items reflect characters, objects, and places that have appeared throughout Nintendo's history. Unlike trophies, however, the items will be much easier to find and are simply pieces of 2D game artwork rather than actual new 3D models. Stickers will be stored in an album and can be used to decorate a screen in an extra mode.
 
[[Image:BrawlChallenges.jpg|thumb|The Challenges screen.]]
All three kinds of collectibles in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', trophies, stickers and CDs can be alternately won in the Challenges mode. The Challenge mode has many closed doors which contain the prizes. When the player unlocks an item by winning a challenge, for example playing the Target Smash level 1 with 10 different characters for the Stafy trophy, the collectibles left and right to Stafy's trophy, which are currently not won and invisible, appear in a red silhouette, and their method of unlocking is displayed. The player can also win Golden Hammers, which he can use to automatically get any door of his or her choice open, getting the item inside. However, not all doors can be destroyed with a hammer.
 
Throughout the game, the player is able to take screenshots while pausing the game. In contrast to ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', there is thus no special camera mode needed. The screenshots are either saved on the Wii's internal memory or an SD card.
 
In the special ''Masterpieces'' mode, the player can play restricted demo versions of classical Nintendo games via the Virtual Console. The player does not have to connect to the Wi-Fi connection for that. The available demos are:
 
 
*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
*''Ice Climber''
*''The Legend of Zelda'' (NES)
*''Kid Icarus''
*''Kirby's Adventure''
*''Fire Emblem''<ref name="jp">[http://www.smashbros.com/jp/gamemode/various/various23.html "Masterpieces" on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! - Japanese Edition], accessed 2008-1-25.</ref>
*''Super Metroid''
*''Earthbound''<ref name="jp"/>
*''Star Fox 64''
 
Some must be unlocked. These games include:
 
*''[[Donkey Kong]]'' (Play for 10 hours or more total.)
*''[[Super Mario World]]'' (Play on Yoshi's Island (Melee) 3 times.)
*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' (Play as Peach and win 5 matches in VS Mode.)
*''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' (Play as Toon Link 10 times in VS Mode.)
*''F-Zero'' (Beat Boss Battle Mode with Captain Falcon.)
 
Some titles have a restricted time they can be played in, others, like ''Super Metroid'', come with save data.
 
==Playable Characters==
With thirty-five playable characters, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' has ten more characters than the previous installment. Twenty-one characters are available from the start, while the other fourteen need to be unlocked.

===Solo===
====The Subspace Emissary====
{{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.
{{br}}
 
====Classic mode====
{{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.

====All-Star mode====
{{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.

|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.

==Stages==
====Training====
There is a large variety of stages in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Some stages are returning from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
{{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''.


===Starter Stages===
====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.

[[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.

===Play as Giant Jigglypuff===
{{endspoiler}}
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.

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.

|align="left"|"''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.''"

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

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

The map of the Subspace Emissary

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. The player can use stickers, each granting a certain effect such as resistance or an increases statistic.

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.

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 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 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 custom stage.
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
The "My Music" option for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Here, the player modifies the likelihood of a song playing on the Delfino Plaza stage.
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."
