Masterpiece

Masterpieces in Super Smash Bros. Brawl are trial versions of Nintendo games, which are from the NES, SNES and Nintendo 64. Each of these demos have different time limits during which the player can play before they are returned to the Masterpiece selection menu. The player can press at any time when playing a Masterpiece to access the HOME menu and select "Operations Guide" to read the guide and know how to play the game. Players can play the NES Masterpieces using any controller, but the SNES and Nintendo 64 Masterpieces require only the Wii Classic Controller or Nintendo GameCube Controller to play. Some of the Masterpieces are available at the start of the game, while some are unlockable. Only two of the Masterpieces listed below - Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo and EarthBound (known as Mother 2 in Japan) - are exclusive to Japanese versions of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
