Template:Infobox Super Smash Bros. Brawl is an upcoming fighting game for the Wii. It is the third game in the Super Smash Bros. Series, the sequel to Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee. The game is being produced by Masahiro Sakurai, who also made the last two Super Smash Bros. games. It is currently scheduled for release in the United States for December 3rd, 2007.
It has been confirmed that the game will make use of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
Gameplay
A new battle mechanic will be the Final Smash, that is triggered collecting a Smash Ball. Another new battle mechanic is that players will be able to walk and jump while using projectile-shooting items, like the Super Scope. Some characters have also been seen crawling. However, it is disputable whether all characters have this ability, as only few were able to perform the Wall Jump in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
The game will 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
The execution of standard combos has been made easier; the A button does no longer have to be hit repeatedly, it is enough to hold it down for the character to start a combo attack.
Players will be able to set their own button configuration rather than have to play with the default configuration. People will be able to type in names, like Tom or John, just like in the last two games. While names were only a gimmick in SSBM, they now also save the player's controlling options to avoid selecting the control method again each time.

It has been confirmed that not all characters from Melee will be returning.

Notes
In the E3 Trailer, the first few characters introduced were the main heroes of Nintendo's most popular series. This includes Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu and Samus. The trailer also introduced Pit, Meta Knight, and Wario as new characters. In the same trailer, Solid Snake was revealed, acting as the first Third-Party character in the series. In the end of the Nintendo World Trailer, Fox McCloud was revealed as a playable fighter. Recently, Princess Zelda, Bowser and Donkey Kong were confirmed on the official website. It was also confirmed that Zero Suit Samus is not Samus's alternate form, but the downside to her Final Smash.
Yoshi has been strongly hinted, as a Yoshi Music Track, Yoshi Stage, and Yoshi's Symbol, the Egg, was revealed on the official website. Ridley was vaguely hinted, as a music track based on his theme was put on the official website. However, whether these two characters will be in the game or not is unknown. Samurai Goro is also used as an Assist Trophy, which hints the fact that Captain Falcon will return. Also, the Animal Crossing Leaf was shown, hinting there may be a character from that series as a playable character.
According to Sakurai, discussions for possible other third-party character additions such are underway, but nothing has been confirmed.

The official Super Smash Bros. Brawl website lists a total of 36 composers to work on music for the game. Uematsu is not listed. [1]
A remix of Menu 1 from Super Smash Bros. Melee will be used for the stage Battlefield. The official website revealed a track called Yoshi's Story: Ending [2], which is a remix of the ending music to Yoshi's Story. It also features Yoshi's voice during the track. A track from the original Metroid game was also revealed. It is called Metroid: Boss Battle Music [3], or Ridley's Theme. It is the theme music of when Ridley appears in the Metroid game. A medley from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time [4] was shown on the official website. It is combination of many music tracks from the said game. It also includes a remix of Saria's Theme, an alternate tune that played on the Great Bay stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Recently, a Star Fox music track was revealed, titled Star Fox: Space Armada [5]. It is a remix of the Corneria stage music from Melee.
