Due to the ease of hacking the Wii through the use of the Homebrew Channel, the lack of technical expertise in getting the Homebrew Channel and replacement files, the ability to hack a Wii because of an exploit built into ''Brawl'' itself, and a wide variety of resources available for it, file replacement is the most popular in the ''Brawl'' community, with many websites available solely for downloading a variety of hacks for the game. | Due to the ease of hacking the Wii through the use of the Homebrew Channel, the lack of technical expertise in getting the Homebrew Channel and replacement files, the ability to hack a Wii because of an exploit built into ''Brawl'' itself, and a wide variety of resources available for it, file replacement is the most popular in the ''Brawl'' community, with many websites available solely for downloading a variety of hacks for the game. | ||

The term "texture hack" refers to a hack that alters or replaces the designs or colors of a stage, texture, item, etc. The hacking of character [[palette swap]]s was pioneered by Pharrox, a user on [[Smash World Forums]]. | The term "texture hack" refers to a hack that alters or replaces the designs or colors of a stage, texture, item, etc. The hacking of character [[palette swap]]s was pioneered by Pharrox, a user on [[Smash World Forums]]. | ||

Since then, texture hacking has expanded to incorporate stage textures, [[item]] textures, [[Final Smash]] textures (e.g., the artwork seen during {{SSBB|Peach}}'s [[Peach Blossom]]), and [[non-playable character]] textures. Over time, the popularity of texture hacking has caused several other kinds of hacks to become available, such as music hacks, moveset hacks, and, eventually, model swapping, vertex hacks, custom animations, and even the insertion of completely new models. | Since then, texture hacking has expanded to incorporate stage textures, [[item]] textures, [[Final Smash]] textures (e.g., the artwork seen during {{SSBB|Peach}}'s [[Peach Blossom]]), and [[non-playable character]] textures.

Initially, blank DVDs were necessary in order to use texture hacks, but Phantom Wings managed to create a hack, exploiting ''Brawl'''s use of data created and saved on an SD card, that allowed for texture hacks to be stored on and loaded from folders on SD cards, making them much more popular and accessible. Now, the only thing required is an SD card, and a program to load the codes and textures, commonly Gecko OS or Riivolution. | Initially, blank DVDs were necessary in order to use texture hacks, but Phantom Wings managed to create a hack, exploiting ''Brawl'''s use of data created and saved on an SD card, that allowed for texture hacks to be stored on and loaded from folders on SD cards, making them much more popular and accessible.
