'''Mewtwo''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. After being cut from ''Melee'', it returns with significant buffs. In ''Project M'', it is one of two characters that were not originally playable in ''Brawl'', the other being {{PM|Roy}}; in ''[[Project+]]'', it is one of three, with {{b|Knuckles|P+}} being the third. Mewtwo was the second [[File_replacement#Clone_Engine|clone engine character]] announced for ''Project M'', using {{PM|Lucario}} as a base.  

Masachika Ichimura's protrayal of Mewtwo from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' was re-purposed for Mewtwo's appearances in ''Project M'' onward.  

Mewtwo is ranked 3rd out of 41 on the [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]] at the top of the A tier, a significant improvement from its 20th out of 26 placing in ''Melee''. In the official ''Project+'' {{h2|Project+|Tier list}}, Mewtwo ranks slightly lower at 5th, near the top of the A+ tier.

**{{change|Mewtwo has two new [[taunts]], bringing it up to the standard of three. Its taunt from ''Melee'' is assigned as a down taunt:}}

*{{buff|Mewtwo's tail is now significantly longer, greatly increasing the reach of any attacks that utilize its tail, such as its tilts.}}

**{{buff|Compared to ''Melee'' (where Mewtwo's entire tail had a hurtbox), only the inner half of its tail has a hurtbox, thus giving Mewtwo significant [[disjointed hitbox]] for its tail attacks.}}

**{{buff|Unlike Peach's float, Mewtwo has full vertical and horizontal control over the direction of its float.}}

**{{nerf|The duration of its float is shorter (lasting a bit more than one second), and using it will cause Mewtwo to lose its [[midair jump]].}}

*{{buff|[[Confusion]]'s effect now sends victims upwards into a [[tumbling]] state after spinning them, it is safer on hit than in ''Melee'', where every character could punish it on-hit with a back aerial and produces a slight [[wind]] effect a small distance outside its grab to make it more difficult to punish. It also now acts as a proper [[reflector]], with projectiles reflected by Confusion inflicting damage to the original user, further improving Confusion's utility. It can still pull opponents through platforms (although this is harder than in ''Melee'' as a midair jump must be input first) and the rise up can [[stage spike]] if the platform is solid.}}

In ''[[Project+]]'', Mewtwo received additional colors. The yellow skin is based on the sprite from ''Pokémon Yellow''). Armored Mewtwo gains a green and blue color, and Rocket Mewtwo was included as the red team color for this costume set. Shadow Mewtwo from ''Pokkén Tournament'' is the third costume with additional colors.

An extra detail involves Mewtwo's digits being more claw-like.
