'''''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''''' is an upcoming fighting/action-platform 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 is being developed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]], who also made the last two ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. After some original definite release dates, all regions had their release dates pushed back or turned into TBA (to be announced), meaning the game will have to wait until after the holiday season of 2007. On October 10th, George Harrison opened a media event in San Francisco and confirmed that the game has been slated for release on February 10, 2008 in North America, and January 24, 2008 for Japan.
 
The game will support the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], as revealed in an update of the [http://www.smashbros.com/ Smash Bros. Dojo!!].
 
== Story ==
[[Image:Brawl_Adventure_Logo.jpg|thumb|left|''The Subspace Emissary'' Logo.]]
The so-called "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 [[Subspace Army]] will be the main antagonist, led by the [[Ancient Minister]].
 
At the beginning of the story, [[Princess Zelda]] and [[Princess Peach]] watch trophies of Mario and Kirby fall into an arena and transform into their living counterparts. They procede to do battle, while [[Pit]] watches from the [[Skyworld]], cheering them on. After Mario defeats Kirby, he turns him back into a living being and they shake hands.
 
However, [[Meta Knight|Meta Knight's]] ship, the [[Battleship Halberd|Halberd]], flies over the main stadium. It drops purple smoke onto the arena, which then turns into a group of strange robotic creatures, named [[Primid]]. Zelda and Peach run down to assist Mario and Kirby. They fight the Primid for some time.
 
The Subspace Army then drops down a [[Subspace Bomb]], which is activated by the [[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 defeated by a giant cannonball that knocks him out of the stadium. Kirby ponders what to do, and notices that Peach and Zelda have been stuck in cages, being held by [[Petey Piranha]].
[[Image:Brawl PitStory.jpg|thumb|right|[[Palutena]] giving [[Pit]] the Sacred Bow of Palutena.]]
Petey Piranha proceeds to attack Kirby, by swinging the cages at him. Kirby dodges, and starts to weaken the cages with his attacks. Kirby is then shown defeating Petey Piranha and freeing Peach. Suddenly, out of nowhere, [[Wario]] drops in, wielding an unusual machine. He notices Kirby, but then turns around to Zelda, who had been flung farther away. He points his machine at her, and fires it. Oddly enough, a black arrow shoots out. When it strikes Zelda, she is transformed into a trophy, which Wario promptly carries away. It is then that Kirby and Peach ride a [[Warp Star]] and escape the stadium, which is drawn into [[Subspace (SSB)|Subspace]] seconds afterwards.
 
Meanwhile, in the Skyworld, Pit gazes at the stadium, and notices the devastating effects of the Subspace Bomb. He is then called forth by [[Palutena]], who gives him the Staff of Palutena. She sends Pit on a mission to save the world from the Subspace Army, and help out the others who are trying to save it. Pit then then hurries off to the edge of Skyworld, and flies down to the world, to assist in saving the world from the Subspace Army.
 
[[Image:Brawl_DKStory.jpg|thumb|left|Enemies stealing [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Banana Hoard]].]]
Meanwhile, in an island jungle, a [[Hammer Bro.]] and a [[Goomba]] drive away in a truck after stealing [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Banana Hoard]]. After battling several of the [[Koopa Troop]]'s minions (even smashing a [[Koopa Troopa]] into the ground, a la ''[[Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat]]''), Donkey Kong is forced to follow the Hammer Bro. and Goomba, and get his treasured Banana Hoard back. Both Donkey Kong and his friend, [[Diddy Kong]], set off after them. It appears that after getting their Banana Hoard back (it is unknown where, when, or how), Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong encounter [[Bowser]]. He roars ferociously, and presumably he is fought. However, as to why Bowser has stolen his Banana Hoard is, as of yet, unknown.
 
In the meanwhile, Kirby and Peach on the Warp Star are chased by the Halberd. They are forced to land on it, but an [[Arwing]] appears. It is hit by the beams of the Halberd and flies downwards, knocking off Kirby and Peach on its way.
 
[[Image:Subspace_Emissary_Map.jpg|thumb|right|The World Map.]]
The Halberd later appears over the space where Pit landed, creating more Primids. He is defeating 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. They understand that they are working towards the same goal, and head off.
 
In screenshots of the Subspace Emissary, a Hammer Bro., [[Bullet Bill]]s and Goombas were revealed as enemies. Additionally, [[Fox McCloud|Fox]] can be seen running away from a giant sheep-like creature, and several Primid imitate the moves of [[Samus Aran|Samus]] and [[Meta Knight]]. For a list of known enemies, go [[Subspace Army#Enemies in the Subspace Army|here]].
 
A few things can be interpreted from the videos of actual gameplay of the Subspace Emissary. Defeating enemies yields prizes, such as regular items, stickers, and strange golden balls that must be broken to reveal trophies. When an enemy is attacked, its picture appears in the corner, along with a health bar. After each cutscene, a freezeframe of any characters in the spotlight at the moment is shown, and the player picks who to play as.

== Gameplay ==
A new battle mechanic will be the [[Final Smash]], that is triggered by collecting a [[Smash Ball]]. Another new battle mechanic is that players will be able to walk and jump while using projectile-shooting items, like the [[Super Scope]]. Some characters have also been seen crawling. However, it is disputable whether all characters have this ability, as only a few were able to perform the [[Wall Jump]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Additionally, a new technique called the [[Footstool Jump]] will be in the game. It allows players to jump on an opposing players head, and spring up by pressing the jump button at the right time. Players will be able to perform Meteor Smashes by doing this as well. The [[Tether Recovery]] will be a new tactic in the game. It allows players to grab onto ledges, using chain-like items, such as a [[Plasma Whip]] or a [[Clawshot]]. [[Gliding]] will also be a technique in this game, available only to characters with wings. When used, players will be able to glide across the stage, and be able to control the way they fly. They can direct themselves upwards, or downwards, depending on the Button Combination used.
 
[[Image:BrawlWiiRemoteControls.gif|thumb|right|The [[Wii Remote]] controls.]]
The game will be controlled with one of the four controlling methods:
* [[Wii Remote]] (Turned on its side)
** +Control Pad &ndash; Move
*** Up/+Control Pad &ndash; Jump
*** Left or Right/+Control Pad &ndash; Move
*** Tap Left or Right/+Control Pad &ndash; Dash
*** Down/+Control Pad &ndash; Crouch
*** Tap Down/+Control Pad &ndash; Drop through Platform
** B Button &ndash; [[Shield]]
** A Button &ndash; [[Taunt]]
** - Button &ndash; Grab
** 1 Button &ndash; Special Move
** 2 Button &ndash; Normal Attack
** 1 Button/2 Button &ndash; [[Smash Attack]]
** +Control Pad/2 Button &ndash; Smash Attack
* [[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 ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', they now also save the player's controlling options to avoid selecting the control method again each time.
 
== Modes ==
=== Brawl ===
[[Image:BrawlScreenDemo.jpg|frame|right|The character select screen for the October [[Nintendo]] event.]]
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. 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''.
 
=== Subspace Emissary ===
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 he or she, too, is defeated.
 
=== Classic Mode ===
[[Image:Brawl_Classic_Mode.jpg|thumb|left|[[Link]] acting as the first opponent.]]
Classic Mode returns from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', acting the exact same way. Players pick a character, and then continue through a barrage of fights. Each stage appears in a certain order, with a Legend of Zelda stage appearing first, and a Pokémon stage appearing third. Like the last game, certain conditions are set in a few matches. A few examples are the player and two teammates fighting a giant opponent, or the player having to fight a [[Metal Box|metal]] version of another player. A small heart will appear next to a teammates logo. When a level is finished, the score will be added up, and coins will be earned. The coins have some purpose in the game, but it is unknown what, at this point.
 
=== Special Brawl ===
[[Image:BrawlBunnyHood.jpg|thumb|right|The "Bunny Brawl" setting.]]
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'').
 
=== 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. Nothing appears to have been changed from the ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' version, however.
 
=== Wi-Fi ===
[[Image:BrawlWi-Fi.jpg|thumb|left|The main Wi-Fi menu.]]
Recently, 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 differant kinds of messages, one for each direction; up, down, left, and right. Results are recorded only in this mode.
 
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. 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''. The other modes of play involved in Wi-Fi have not been revealed yet.
 
=== Stage Builder ===
[[Image:Stage_Builder.jpg|thumb|right|The Stage Builder in action.]]
A new unique gimmick is the ''Stage Builder''. Using it, players can make their very own custom stages. When making the stage, players first pick the size of the stage, and then creating a background pattern, as well as the music that will play on the stage (with only the music tracks found on [[CD]] being playable). Once done, the player can start adding pieces to the stage, whether it be simple platforms to ladders to spikes. However, each of the four control types have different ways to move the pieces, however, they are all able to flip, resize, zoom, swap palettes and erase pieces of the stage. After building a fraction of the stage, it can be tested out before being saved. This can be done several times, if it is necessary. After the stage is finished, the name and comment can be chosen, as well as an option to change the music of the stage. It can be sent to other players via Wi-Fi Connection, but can also be sent directly to Nintendo using the "Submit" option on the Stage Builder screen. Every day, Nintendo will send a selected stage to every player with Wi-Fi and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', so they can try out the stages that other people have made. The stage gets removed after a day has past, and a new one is brought in the next day. This allows players to make and try out new stages for themselves every day.
 
=== Various ===
[[Image:My_Music.jpg|thumb|left|The My Music feature.]]
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. 
 
Throughout the game, the player is able to take screenshots while pausing the game. In contrast to ''Melee'', there is thus no special camera mode needed. The screenshots are either saved on the Wii's internal memory or an SD card.
 
The [[Home-Run Contest]] returns from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', with the same basic gameplay. However, there are quite a few differences. A shield surrounds the platform, preventing players from accidentally pushing [[Sandbag]] off the platform, which was a major problem in Melee. 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 these modes can be played in Wi-Fi Connection mode, under the ''With Friends'' mode.
 
Also available in the Stadium mode is the ''Target Smash!'', a slightly altered mode of the ''Target Test'' from the previous games. There are five different stages each character can play on, and the results can be sent to other players via the Wi-Fi Connection.

=== Notes ===
In the E3 2006 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]], [[Wario]] and [[Zero Suit Samus]] as new characters. At the end of the trailer, [[Snake (character)|Snake]] was revealed, acting as the first Third-Party character in the series. In the end of the Nintendo World Trailer, a separate trailer from the aforementioned one, [[Fox McCloud]] was revealed as a playable fighter.
 
[[Princess Zelda]] and [[Bowser]] were later confirmed on the official website on June 25th and July 3rd, respectively. [[Donkey Kong]] appeared in the 15-second E3 2007 clip on July 12th, and his profile was soon after added to the official website. The official site also announced [[Yoshi]] as a returning player on July 24th. [[Ike]], a character from ''Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance'' (a game that ''was'' released outside of Japan, unlike the original ''Fire Emblem'') appeared on the site on August 1st, and became the first newcomer character to be confirmed since Snake. [[Princess Peach]] was seen in a trailer for ''The Subspace Emissary'' on August 3rd, and finally confirmed on August 17th, which also showed Peach's new design. On August 13th, the [[Pokémon Trainer]] was revealed as a character, and [[Diddy Kong]] followed on August 22nd. The [[Ice Climbers]]  were revealed on September 14th. [[Lucas]] then was revealed on October 1st, and [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] followed on October 10th. About two weeks after, on October 25th, [[King Dedede]] was confirmed to be playable.

[[Fan]], [[Party Ball]], [[Capsule]], [[Heart Container]], and [[Fire Flower]] were all confirmed by the demo version, videos of which are available on [http://gamevideos.com/ GameVideos.com].

The [[Thunderbolt]] from the [[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart series]] also appears. There has been recent sightings of an unknown item that shoots fireballs, and a ball with spikes. The [[Screw Attack]] was shown in a recent Famitsu magazine article. Since there will be green [[Koopa Troopa]]'s and red [[Koopa Paratroopa]]'s as enemies in the Subspace Emmisary, it can be assumed that the [[Red Shell]] and [[Green Shell]] will return. The Starman will also return.

== Music ==
The official ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' website lists a total of 36 composers to work on music for the game. [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music01.html]
 
*A remix of Menu 1 from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' will be used for the stage Battlefield, which can be heard on the link just above.
*The official website revealed a track called ''Yoshi's Story: Ending'' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music02.html], which is a remix of the ending music to ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. It might be one of the songs that play on the [[Yoshi's Island (place)#Super Smash Bros. series|Yoshi's Island stage]].
*A track from the original ''Metroid'' game was also revealed. It is called ''Metroid: Boss Battle Music'' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music03.html], or ''Ridley's Theme''. It is the theme music of when Ridley appears in the Metroid game. It is unknown what Metroid stage it could possibly play on.
*A medley from ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music04.html] 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''. Whether this track plays on [[Bridge of Eldin]] or not, is unknown, but most likely so, as the My Music feature determines the likelihood of certain songs playing in a stage whether or not it is from the same game the stage itself came from.
*A Star Fox music track was revealed, titled ''Star Fox: Space Armada'' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music05.html]. It is a remix of the [[Corneria]] stage music from Melee. It is likely one of the songs to play on the [[Lylat Cruise]] stage.
*A jolly remix of the Grim Reaper and Game Over music from Kid Icarus was put on the official site, title ''Kid Icarus: The Underworld'' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music06.html]. This remix sounds similar to the brand of music used for [[Green Greens]]. It is possible this plays on the [[Skyworld]] stage along with other songs. It was also heard on the part of the Subspace Emissary, titled '''Pit's Descent'''.
*A remix of K. K. Slider's theme music from Animal Crossing was revealed by the official site, titled ''Animal Crossing: Go K.K. Rider!'' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music07.html]. It will play on [[Smashville]], as stated by the official site.
*A remix of the Gym Leader and Pokémon Evolution music was recently put on the official website, named ''Pokémon: Pokémon Stadium/Evolution'' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music09.html]. There is a very good chance it will be one of the songs for the [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] stage.
*Famed ''Final Fantasy'' composer Nobuo Uematsu contributed the main theme of the game, named ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Main Theme'' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music10.html].
