''[http://www.balancedbrawl.net Balanced Brawl]'' is unusual amongst ''Brawl'' mods in that it does not significantly alter the core gameplay physics of ''Brawl''. In its attempts to make the game more balanced, it instead primarily focuses buffing and nerfing all the characters, as well as adding some universal nerfs, such as altering how [[ledge]]s work in order to combat [[planking]]. In addition to its various character tweaks, some of the stages were also changed, though not to an extent seen in other mods; most stage hazards are still present, but instead are either weakened or occur less often. Likely as a result of its lack of immediately visible changes, ''Balanced Brawl'' was unable to find the popularity of other mods for ''Brawl'', though it did attain a small niche composed of those who opposed the changes made by ''Brawl+''.

While not officially abandoned, the last notable update for ''Balanced Brawl'', version 3, was released in 2010, with only a 2011 bugfix patch for [[PAL]] regions being released since then. Because of the effectively ceased development, ''Balanced Brawl'' is generally considered to be antiquated. As its last version was based on the ''Brawl'' [[metagame]] from 2010, some notable developments are not reflected in ''Balanced Brawl''{{'}}s changes, such as the emergence of {{SSBB|Olimar}} as a top tier character (who saw no nerfs by the final release of ''Balanced Brawl''), as well as the gradually decreasing dominance of {{SSBB|Snake}} (who saw the most amount of nerfs besides {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}).
