Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a fighting game for the Wii. It is the third game in the Super Smash Bros. series, preceded by Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee. The game was designed by Masahiro Sakurai, who also created the last two Super Smash Bros. games, and developed by a team especially created for it. The game uses a game engine called Havok that mainly focuses on the game physics.[4]

After a planned release date of December 3rd, 2007 in North America, all regions had their release dates pushed back. It was then slated for release on February 10, 2008 in North America, and January 24, 2008 for Japan. However on January 15, 2008 it was then delayed to January 31, 2008 for Japan[5] and March 9, 2008 for North America[6]. It was released in Australia on June 26, 2008 and in Europe on June 27, 2008[2].

Following the release of the game in Japan, a bug was discovered in the game which displays an error message every time it starts[7], though players are able to close it and play the game as usual. Nintendo has now started a replacement program[3]. The game requires 128 blocks of Wii internal memory[8].

Gameplay

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

Also, certain characters can crawl. These characters are: Bowser, Diddy Kong, Ivysaur, Lucario, Luigi, Pikachu, Sheik, Solid Snake, Squirtle, Wario, Yoshi and Zero Suit Samus.

A new technique called the Footstool Jump is introduced. It allows players to jump on an opposing player's head, and spring up by pressing the jump button at the right time. Players are be able to perform Meteor Smashes by doing this as well. The Tether Recovery is a returning tactic in the game. It allows players to grab onto ledges, using chain-like items, such as a Plasma Whip or a Hookshot. Gliding is also a technique in this game, available only to characters with wings. When used, players are able to glide across the stage, and be able to control the way they fly. They can direct themselves upwards, or downwards, depending on the Button Combination used.

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

The game also features three different Taunts for each character, while the past games only featured one taunt. Snake is the only character that all three taunts are identical.

The game can be controlled with one of the four controlling methods:

Wii Remote (turned on its side) Wii Remote + Nunchuk Attachment
Wii Classic Controller Nintendo GameCube Controller

There are a few differences between the controller methods. The Wii Remote + Nunchuk Attachment has a special feature, the Shake Smash, allowing the player to execute Smash Attacks into the direction they shake the controller to. The Classic Controller, Wii Remote + Nunchuk Attachment and the GameCube controller also have a function which disables the jump by tapping the control stick upwards. This makes it easier to execute attack moves upwards, but forces the player to use different buttons for jumping (C or D-Pad Up on the Nunchuk, or X/Y on the Classic and GameCube controller).

The execution of standard combos has been made easier; For many characters, the A button does no longer have to be hit repeatedly, but it is enough to hold it down for the character to start a combo attack. The effects, however, usually differ.

Players are able to set their own button configuration rather than have to play with the default configuration. The configuration can be saved on the Wii Remote's internal memory, allowing to take them to a friend's and play with one's own button configuration there. The Player is able to insert names, up to five letters, as in Super Smash Bros. Melee. While previously names were only a gimmick, they now also save the player's controlling options to avoid having to select the control method again each time.

Playable Characters

With 35 playable characters, Super Smash Bros. Brawl has 10 more characters than the previous installment. 21 characters are available from the start, while the other 14 need to be unlocked. Their Special Moves and Final Smash are listed on the right-side column.

Items

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

Item Description
Assist Trophy Comparable to a Poké Ball, this summons a random character to help the character who used it. See the Assist Trophy page for a list of Assist characters.
Banana Peel Can be dropped on the stage. Other characters will trip over it and fall.
Barrel These bear a resemblance to crates but can tip over and roll. If hit by a rolling one, the player will receive damage.
Beam Sword An item to be held, allowing the user to perform long-distance sideways attacks with the Sword. The more a Smash Attack is charged, the longer the beam of the sword extends.
Bob-omb A simple and powerful bomb. If it is left untouched for a little while, it will get up and walk around on its own. If one is thrown directly at an opponent, it explodes and causes a huge amount of knockback. Once enough time has passed in Sudden Death, Bob-ombs start to fall from the sky in droves.
Bumper When thrown, it lies on the ground or floats in the air and hits back all characters touching it. Relatively powerful, and players can be K.O.'d.
Bunny Hood The Bunny Hood provides a substantial boost to the user's running speed and jumping height.
Capsule Break open these little capsules to find items. They are also effective as a throwing item. Capsules will explode on occasion.
CD CDs add a single, random song to the player's collection when picked up. CDs will stop appearing once the player has unlocked every song in the game.
Cracker Launcher Shoots out fireworks. Players can adjust the aim.
