There is no specific order in which the player must beat all the enemies, and it is possible to play as any character that has been rescued so far. [[Save Point]]s and Warp points are dispersed throughout the maze. These two types of checkpoints are indicated by the ''Smash Bros.'' emblem mounted on a trophy stand and look like a forest clearing with a Subspace rip in the fabric of the sky. Save Points restore the player's stock to 4 (6 in later runs) and damage to 0%, as well as letting the player re-select characters or fiddle with stickers. Warp Points are identical but also allow teleportation between other visited Warp Points, as well as serving as both entry and exit points to and from the maze itself.

Pausing at any time displays a map of all visited rooms, as well as the player's current position inside a room and where [[door]]s and room-to-room links are. Once enough rooms have been visited to form a loop with the starting point, the map will also display all the locations of unbeaten characters and bosses with icons in the form of a monster head.

==Stage recreations==

Some parts of The Great Maze are combinations of older stages, with many having slight modifications and different music from than the originals. This includes [[The Forest]] with the [[Door#Day-changing doors|day-changing doors]] from [[The Lake]] and [[The Research Facility (Part II)|The Research Facility]] with the three-switch doors from the [[Subspace Bomb Factory (Part II)|Subspace Bomb Factory]]. Some of these stages sport new areas, such as the elevator rooms in The Halberd and The Research Facility, the mountain entrance to The Battlefield Fortress, the icy floors in The Ruined Zoo, the triple switch doors in the Research Facility, and the day-changing doors section in The Forest. In addition, all three of the Halberd's playable sections appear in the Great Maze despite the Halberd being destroyed and never entering Subspace. Lastly, some of the areas are laid out in such a way that the player will go through a level in the opposite direction, such as the Ruined Zoo, the Wilds, and the Battlefield Fortress. And since the [[R.O.B. Squad]] was destroyed in the Isle of the Ancients, they do not appear as enemies in the Great Maze.

The Great Maze has many different music tracks in it, some of which only appear during the fights with the dark clones or the bosses. Of these, only Pit, Fox, Falco, Captain Falcon, Snake, Olimar, and R.O.B.'s false character battle themes are not from their respective universes.

*''{{SSBBMusicLink|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Boss Battle Song 1}}'' - Galleom, Duon

*''{{SSBBMusicLink|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Boss Battle Song 2}}'' - Tabuu

*''{{SSBBMusicLink|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Save Point}}'' - Inside Save Points, Door to Tabuu's Residence

*''{{SSBBMusicLink|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Step: Subspace}}'' - In the four main save points, with warp areas

*''{{SSBBMusicLink|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Step: The Cave}}'' - Part of The Path to the Ruins Recreated, Part of The Battlefield Fortress Recreated

*''{{SSBBMusicLink|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Step: The Plain}}'' - Skyworld Recreated, The Sea of Clouds Recreated, The Lake Shore Recreated, all of The Wilds I and most of The Wilds II Recreated

==Trivia==

*Despite having only 4 stocks at a time available for the initial playthrough, 6 are available on all successive playthroughs. This is likely due to two reasons; the possibility that the player did not retrieve any trophies in Subspace Part I and II, leaving them with only 5 characters for the entirety of the Great Maze (Bowser, King Dedede, Kirby, Luigi, and Ness, with Sonic not appearing until the end) and that subsequent playthroughs do not allow for a refreshed stock post-cutscene before Tabuu.

*To form a loop back to Midair Stadium, at least 9 bosses/Subspacial clones must be defeated: Petey Piranha, Link, Diddy Kong, Samus, Ridley, Mario, Galleom, Lucas/Wario, and Lucario/Rayquaza.

*Four stages do not appear in The Great Maze: [[The Plain]], [[The Ruined Hall]], [[The Canyon]], and [[The Subspace Bomb Factory I]].
