'''''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''' ('''大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズＸ''' ''Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu Ekkusu'' literally ''Big Smash Brothers X Battle'' in Japanese), commonly shortened to '''SSBB''' or '''Brawl''', is the third game in the [[Super Smash Bros. (universe)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], released for the [[Nintendo Wii]]. It was published by Nintendo and designed by Masahiro Sakurai, creator of the previous installments, and also developed by various teams such as Sora Ltd., Game Arts, and other developers starting in October 2005.

The objective of a battle in Brawl is, like in previous installments, to knock out your opponent by knocking them off the screen as they disappear in an explosion. The gameplay has remained the same, although it has been simplified slightly, giving the player the option to choose between four different controllers: horizontal only, Wiimote with Nunchuck, Classic Controller, or Nintendo GameCube Controller. Up to four players can play simultaneously locally, in addition to the ability to play online with other players via Nintendo Wi-Fi, making it the first game in the series to offer this option.

''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' also retains the game modes from previous installments, such as [[Classic Mode]] and [[All-Star Mode|All-Star]], including entirely new ones such as [[Final Boss Mode|Final Bosses]]. The [[Adventure Mode (SSBM)|Adventure]] mode from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' has been replaced by [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]], a more complete and extensive adventure mode than the previous one with a specific story and exclusive characters, as well as the ability to play in two-player co-op.

The character roster is broader than its predecessor, with various characters from Nintendo franchises. Additionally, for the first time in the series, it includes two third-party characters: [[Solid Snake]] from [[Konami]] and [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] from [[SEGA]], increasing the character count from 26 to 35.

A large portion of the game's soundtrack incorporates new versions of character-themed tunes from various games, in addition to original versions taken directly from the game. These tunes were composed by 38 prominent video game soundtrack composers and were critically acclaimed for their representation of different generations in video game history.

==Gameplay==
===New Features===
This game has several major changes compared to the previous installment, [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]; in addition to the already significant increase in characters, items, and stages, there are other changes, primarily in the gameplay. It is impossible to perform the [[wavedash]], because performing a feint in the air does not stop the character in mid-air, an important detail for performing this technique. Additionally, several characters have had their characteristics changed, for better or worse, such as [[Ganondorf (SSBB)|Ganondorf]], whose combat abilities have been significantly reduced from what he had in Melee. All characters can now perform a [[meteoric smash]], thanks to the [[bench jump]]. Characters can also [[swim]] in certain stages. The introduction of [[Final Smash]] to the series gives each character five special moves.

Other changes include [[Baseball Smash]], [[event]], and [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Adventure Mode]], which can now be played by two players simultaneously. Furthermore, the latter has been improved compared to Melee.

===Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary===
{{AP|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary}}

==[[Character]]s==
[[File:SSBB Characters.png|thumb|300px|All characters from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', with the exception of Zero Samus and Sheik, transformations of Samus and Zelda, respectively.]]
Not counting alternate forms, there are 35 characters in this installment, of which 21 are [[Starting Character|available from the start]], a significant increase in the number of selectable characters compared to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.

In terms of graphics, it can be noted that many characters have been redesigned to represent their most recent games: [[Link (SSBB)|Link]], [[Zelda (SSBB)|Zelda]], and [[Ganondorf (SSBB)|Ganondorf]], for example, receive their designs from ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''. It is worth noting that [[Pit (SSBB)|Pit]], despite his appearance being based on his appearance in [[Kid Icarus (game)|''Kid Icarus'']], has a design created especially for his debut in the series, which would later be used in the game ''Kid Icarus Uprising'' for [[Nintendo 3DS]]. One notable change is the darker or more opaque effect given to the characters, compared to other installments in the series. This is due to the dark tone of [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Adventure Mode]] in general.

More non-playable characters were added in this game. Thanks to Adventure Mode, the number of bosses increased from just two to ten. Most of these are original to the Super Smash Bros. (universe) series, but others were borrowed from other universes, such as Ridley and Meta Ridley from the Metroid universe, or Porky Minch from the EarthBound universe.

==Changes from Melee==
* Generally, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a slower game, due in part to reductions in character [[fall speed]] and [[gravity]], the removal of [[L-canceling]], and the inability to conserve momentum while dashing and jumping.
* Characters can dodge as many times as possible while in the air, but the direction can no longer be controlled with the control stick. If this feint is used next to an object, the character will automatically grab it. Because of this, it is no longer possible to wavedash.
* The knockback has been severely reduced, meaning combos are difficult to perform.
* The up smash can now be used while dashing.
* Characters can grab while changing direction while dashing, which generally results in increased range. Additionally, grabbing a character who is in the air will not reset their double jump.
* Adventure Mode (SSBM) has been replaced by Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary.
* The sound library is available from the start, but certain sounds and music must be unlocked. * [[Event]]s can now have a selectable difficulty.
* '''Target Test''' is renamed '''[[Smash Targets]]''' and all characters share a single stage, which varies depending on the difficulty chosen.
* Items can now be grabbed with [[Air Attack|air attacks]], air dodges, and [[Running Attacks|fast attacks]].
* The [[Baseball Smash]] contains a shield to prevent the [[Sandbag|bag]] from being knocked off the platform due to an accidental knock. However, if the shield is hit enough, it will break. Two people can also play simultaneously, either in co-op mode or as a competitive match.
* Each character is now able to perform three [[Taunts]].
* In [[Special Brawl]], multiple modes can be active at once, and new modes are also introduced.

* Any wins, losses, [[Knockout|K.O.]], and other milestones achieved by an NPC will not be recorded in the game logs.
* Collectible [[Sticker]]s have been added.
* The [[Lottery]] has been replaced by the [[Coin Launcher]].
* The [[Squad Jump|Squad Jump]] has been added.
* Controls can now be configured by name.

==Trivia==
*The game's menu, including the [[Challenges (SSBB)|Challenges]] screen, were inspired by the menu of the game ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]''.
*Along with ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'', ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is the only [[Wii]] game to use a dual-layer disc; This is because the data on the disc takes up too much space and cannot be stored on a regular disc. However, this has caused some early versions of the Wii console to have problems reading the disc.
