}}

'''''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''''', known in Japan as '''''Dairantō Smash Brothers X''''' (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズX, lit. "Great Melee Smash Brothers X"), is a fighting game for the [[Wii]]. It is the third game in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''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 preceeding ''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.<ref>[http://gonintendo.com/?p=34360 Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Havok engine confrimed - GoNintendo], published 2008-1-28.</ref>

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. There has been a replacement program.<ref name="disk"/> The game requires 128 blocks of Wii internal memory.<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>  Also, the game data can't be copied, so players are not able to transfer the data onto another Wii, but players can still send replays, snapshots, and custom stages onto other Wii systems.

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]]

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.

With 35 playable characters, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' has ten more characters than the previous installment. 21 characters are available from the start, while the other fourteen need to be unlocked to become playable. Only five of the characters from the previous game aren't playable in this game which is [[Pichu]], [[Dr. Mario]], [[Mewtwo]], [[Young Link]] and [[Roy (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Roy]]. Additionally, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is the first game to feature third-party characters as playable characters: [[Sonic]] and [[Solid Snake]]. The Special Moves and Final Smash for each character are listed on the right-side column.

!width=40%|Description

|-

|rowspan=5 |Mario has always been a balanced character. His strength is mid-tier, and he has medium weight and speed. He is not difficult to KO, yet he's not easy to KO either. He is one of the most popular characters in the video game franchise.

|Standard || [[Fireball]]

|Final Smash || [[Mario Finale]]

|Side || [[Gale Boomerang]]

|-

|-

|-

|Final Smash || [[Triforce Slash]]

|Final Smash || [[Great Aether]]

|-

|rowspan=14 |The Pokémon Trainer uses [[Squirtle]], [[Ivysaur]] and [[Charizard]] to fight for him, rather than actually fight by himself.

|Standard || [[Kirby#Inhale|Inhale]]

|Final Smash || [[Waddle Dee Army]]

==Items==

Items randomly appear on any stage in the game, and 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.

!width=17%|Item

!width=68%|Description

|-

|Comparable to a Poké Ball, this summons a random character to help the character who used it. See the [[Assist Trophy#List of Assist Characters|Assist Trophy page]] for a list of Assist characters.

|-

|Can be dropped on the stage. Other characters will trip over it and fall.

|-

|These bear a resemblance to crates but can tip over and roll. If hit by a rolling one, the player will receive damage.

|-

|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.

|-

|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.

|-

|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.

|-

|The Bunny Hood provides a substantial boost to the user's running speed and jumping height.

|-

|Break open these little capsules to find items. They are also effective as a throwing item. Capsules will explode on occasion.

|-

|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.

|-

|Shoots out fireworks. Players can adjust the aim.

|-

|Attack or throw a crate to break it open and gain access to the items inside. There are three designs for crates. Additionally, some crates have dollies underneath them. Attacking these crates sends them rolling away.

|-

|Throwing one of these near an enemy with creates a flash that stuns foes temporarily. When the Deku Nut makes contact with an opponent in midair, it can send them quite a distance.

|-

|When a player manages to collect all three parts of it, he or she can ram into the stage, knocking out all players within the crosshair.

|-

|If hit with a strong attack or fire-based attack, the Blast Box will explode, causing anything in the area to be blown away.

|-

|This item doesn’t pack much of a punch but is easy to score rapid multiple combos; it can also be used to break shields. The Fan has deceptive strength when thrown straight up in the air in modes like Multi-Man Brawl.

|-

|The Fire Flower is a shooting item that spouts a torrent of fire over a short distance, eventually running out of flames.

|-

|Food items restore the consumer's damage. There are essentially 28 different types of food. Each item restores a different amount of health.

|-

|Deflects any energy-based projectile back at the opponent with double power.

|-

|This icy item slides slowly along the ground. Throwing it at the enemy makes them freeze them in a block of ice, trapping them.

|-

|Acts like the [[Hammer]], only is much stronger, and allows the player to float in mid-air, if the button is tapped rapidly. Sometimes, the Golden Hammer will be nothing but a Golden Squeaky Hammer, which cannot damage opponents. The Golden Squeaky Hammer is similar to the Hammer losing its head.

|-

|Can be attached to the ground or a character and explodes after a few seconds.

|-

|Throw, hit, or jump on this shell to send it sliding along the ground. Green Shells can suddenly reverse the direction they are traveling if they bump into a wall or are hit by an attack, so keep an eye out for returning shells.

|-

|Seizing this item makes the user unleash a barrage of hammer swings on a opponent. The attack itself is quite powerful but the user will lose the ability to perform midair jumps and special moves while attacking with it. Sometimes the head of the hammer will fall right off.

|-

|Picking up one of these reduce the damage by 100 percentage points. Heart Containers float slowly to the ground once they appear.

|-

|Performing a Side Smash while holding this item to make a home-run-sized swing at the opponent that sends him or her soaring. It’s strong when thrown too.

|-

|Hotheads slide across the ground releasing bursts of sparks and damaging the user opponents. When they are hit with fire or electricity-based attacks, they grow even bigger.

|-

|This item will open locked doors the players encounter within [[The Subspace Emissary]]. If the player loses a key he or she is were holding on the way to the door, the player must return to where it was originally found.

|-

|Hitting an enemy with this or throwing it caused a flower to bloom on the opponent’s head. While the flower is on his or her head, the opponent will slowly accumulate damage. The more the user beats the foe with Lip’s Stick, the bigger the flower on his or her head will grow. The flower can be removed from the player's head by shaking the control stick back and forth.

|-

|Touching one of these makes all of the user's opponents shrink. The effect is more dramatic and dangerous than the one brought on by a Poison Mushroom. Sometimes the Lightning will backfire and only the user will shrink.

|-

|These tomatoes are emblazoned with a striking letter "M." Eating one of these reduces the consumer's damage by 50 percentage points.

|-

|Turns the user into metal form, giving complete resistance to flinching from lighter attacks. The user falls faster after jumping.

|-

|Set one of these on a floor or wall, and it will react to the next moving object in its proximity by detonating. They are small and inconspicuous, so they can catch opponents by surprise.

|-

|A relatively weak item that can be thrown at opponents multiple times.

|-

|This item gives valuable items and will not reappear once the player gets them. It also helps by increasing the clear percentage. They only appear in [[The Subspace Emissary]].

|-

|When hit, Party Balls float up into the air and split open, raining down a torrent of items. These items are known to drop nothing but Bob-ombs on occasion.

|-

|A throwing item found only on the [[Distant Planet]] stage. Throwing one at an "Onion" will release some items.

|-

|Can be set on the ground. Other characters fall straight into a pit when walking over it, or if hit directly with it.

|-

|Touching one makes the consumer shrink in size; the user's blows will do less damage, and the user flies further when hit.

|-

|Throw a Poké Ball to summon a randomly selected Pokémon that will assist the user.

|-

|The Ray Gun is a beam gun that lets the user fire fast-moving blasts. It comes loaded with 16 shots. When the user has exhausted the ammo, it can still be useful since the user can throw the gun at the opponent to score a Smash attack.

|-

|Beating Sandbag up make it drop items and food. As Sandbag accumulates damage, it gradually becomes easier to hit far distances. Of course, beat Sandbag too much and its pool of items will run dry.

|-

|While wearing it, the Screw Attack ability is added to the user's standard and midair jumps. The user is still able to attack as normal when capable of using the Screw Attack.

|-

|Attacking one of these until it breaks gives the ability to use a [[Final Smash]].  

|-

|Emits a large cloud of colorful smoke. Doesn't do any damage, but sticks to anyone it hits.

|-

|A bomb that explodes with a large blast radius when thrown, destroying anything in its reach. May occasionally fail.

|-

|No one can pick up this item, but when a player hits the ball with a strong attack, it bursts into flames and flies off into the air, depending on how strong the attack is. The angle of the attack determines the direction the Soccer Ball will fly off in.

|-

|Hoping on a Spring makes the user perform an extra high jump. Every so often a Spring will topple over sideways. When it does so, anyone who makes contact with the fallen Spring will be knocked sideways.

|-

|In [[The Subspace Emissary]], Stock Balls increase the number of lives the player have left.  

|-

|Touch one of these to grow huge. In this enhanced form, the user won’t fly as far when hit and is capable of dealing harder-hitting blows than usual. However, they become easier to strike.

|-

|This beam gun lets the user choose between attacking with rapid-fire or charged shots. The Super Scope holds enough energy for 48 rapid-fire shots, or about three fully charged blasts.

|-

|Eat one of these and the player starts spewing flames from his or her mouth. The user can, however, continue to attack as normal. This item also has the side effect of making the user run, even if they try to walk.

|-

|Just touching one of these gives the user temporary invincibility. The effect lasts 10 seconds.  

|-

|Perform a strong side attack or side Smash attack while holding the Star Rod to swing the rod and simultaneously fire off a star-shaped projectile. When the user throw a Star Rod at the opponent, it sends them rocketing off sideways.  

|-

|Only usable in Team battles, can recover a teammate's health if tossed at them. If thrown at opponents, it may hurt or heal them.

|-

|Picking up this item slows down the flow of time for all other players. Occasionally the Timer will have a different effect and only slow the user down, or it may slow down everyone.

|-

|This item turns enemies into trophies in [[The Subspace Emissary]]. Stronger enemies must be sufficiently weakened to be successfully turned into a trophy.

|-

|If the Wario Bike is dismantled, the pieces can be thrown at others.

|-

|Throwing a Unira into the ground or attacking it causes its spikes to extend, damaging opponents who bump into it. Attacking the Unira again make its spikes retract.

|-

|Heals the player. Appears only on the [[Summit]] stage.

|-

|The user takes a ride on a Warp Star to launch a vicious attack from above on the opponent. It can be controlled where the Warp Star falls by using the Control Stick.

====Subspace Emissary====

{{main|Subspace Emissary}}

The Subspace Emissary is the game's adventure mode. Unlike Melee's [[Adventure Mode]], it has a story and co-op multiplayer is an option. Players can use stickers to increase his/her attacks and items.

====Classic Mode====

Classic Mode returns from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', acting the exact same way. Players pick a character, and then go 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 version of an 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 in the matches with allies. When a level is finished, the score will be added up, and coins will be earned. These can be used in the Coin Launcher. Clearing this Mode will give the player a trophy of the character used to complete it. <ref> When finishing it as Zelda or Sheik the player can only get the trophy of her current form, unlike in Melee where they received both. The same applies to Samus and Zero Suit Samus. Classic must be cleared three times with the Pokémon Trainer to obtain all the trophies, clearing it only rewards the player with the trophies of the Trainer and the Pokémon in use when it was cleared. </ref>

| align=center | [[Master Hand]]

| The final boss of Classic mode, the right hand, 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 it.

|-

| align=center | [[Crazy Hand]]

| While Master Hand is the "manifestation of creative spirit", the left hand, Crazy Hand is the "manifestation of destructive spirit". In Classic Mode, Crazy Hand appears only if the player has arrived at the final stage with the difficulty at Hard or above with no continues, and the player must have arrived at the final stage in 9 minutes or less.
