*''Monsho no Nazo'' is the only Japan-exclusive ''Fire Emblem'' title listed in the North American release of ''Brawl'' not to receive an English translation. Nintendo's policy of preserving as many original Japanese aspects as possible for their "Import" [[Virtual Console]] releases led some to speculate the title's lack of translation may be signs of intent for an upcoming release abroad; however, in the years since, no movements have been made to give any Japanese-exclusive ''Fire Emblem'' title a Virtual Console re-release internationally. ''Fire Emblem'' and ''Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones'' have been released on the PAL Wii U Virtual Console.
*''Mystery of the Emblem'' is the only Japan-exclusive ''Fire Emblem'' title listed in the North American release of ''Brawl'' not to receive an English translation, being listed under its Japanese subtitle ''Monsho no Nazo''. {{forwiiu}}, however, uses the ''Mystery of the Emblem'' translation.

The game takes place on the continent of Archanea and stars Marth, one of the series' characters in the Super Smash Bros. series. The game is made of two halves, or "books": the first book, the "War of Shadows", is a compressed remake of the Japan-only Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, the debut of both the series and Marth which was later remade again as the internationally-released Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon. The second book, the "War of Heroes", is a completely new sequel to the story of the first book; colloquially, mentioning this game is often taken to refer to the second book alone.

This game appears as a Masterpiece in the Japanese version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It can be played for 180 seconds.

In the Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

The only representation this game gets (aside from the masterpiece) is three stickers in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as well as a medley of different tracks from the game in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, where it plays on the Coliseum stage. However, Marth's appearance in Melee and Brawl is inspired by his official artwork for this game.

Trivia[edit]

  • Mystery of the Emblem is the only Japan-exclusive Fire Emblem title listed in the North American release of Brawl not to receive an English translation, being listed under its Japanese subtitle Monsho no Nazo. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, however, uses the Mystery of the Emblem translation.
