Friend code
A friend code is a code that is unique to every player, and is generated when the player plays Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the first time over Wi-Fi. Friends must give it to the player before they can play with him/her over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The format is three sets of four-digit numbers, such as 0000-0000-0000. The player can check their own friend code and add others on the Friend Roster. The system used in Brawl is the same for any other Wi-Fi title on a Nintendo system, both players cannot view each other's online status until they have both registered each other's Brawl codes. Whilst friend codes are very personal and have the highest level of security to avoid unwanted "friends" from contacting the player, they have proven to be quite a hassle. The player can have up to 64 friend codes on their roster. After registering a code, the player can play with the other player in a few different modes, including a regular online Brawl (with custom taunts usable), a Multi-Man Mode match with the other player as a teammate, a Home-run Contest, or even an up to 64-player Tournament Mode.
