Super Smash Bros. Brawl, known in Japan as Dairantou[7] Smash Brothers X (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズＸ, Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu Ekkusu), and often shortened to "SSBB" or "Brawl", is the third installment in the Super Smash Bros. series published by Nintendo. The game was designed by Masahiro Sakurai, who also created the preceding Super Smash Bros. games, and was developed by an ad hoc development team consisting of Sora, Game Arts and staff from other developers, beginning in October 2005.[8]

The object of a match in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, is to knock the opponent off the screen and so beyond the "blast lines" which denote the field of battle; an emphasis on ring outs is standard for the series, but a departure from traditional fighting games which focus on knockouts. This departure continues in Brawl’s relatively simplified move commands, which can be input on four types of controller[6] - a Wii remote alone, the Wii remote and Nunchuk auxiliary controller, a Classic Controller/Classic Controller Pro or a GameCube Controller. Up to four players can engage in local multiplayer battles at any given time with any combination of controllers, while Brawl also supports online play through the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, the first game in the series to do so.[9]

However, while Brawl continues to include the tournament-like "Classic" and "All-Star" single-player modes, Melee’s Adventure Mode has been replaced with The Subspace Emissary; a more extensive side-scrolling beat-'em-up mode featuring both the playable characters and many enemies specifically created for the game. The resulting mode includes an involved plot, including numerous pre-rendered cutscenes, and some platform game elements during gameplay. Up to four players can play local multiplayer games using one of four sets of controllers.

Further following from the earlier games in the series, Brawl showcases a wide selection of characters from Nintendo and its second parties, setting them to fight in several different types of matches. Unlike its predecessors, however, Brawl also includes two third party characters in Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog. In total, the number of playable characters was increased from Melee’s 25[10] to 35.[11]

Most of the game's musical score is made up of newly-arranged versions of pieces that originated in earlier video games starring the characters featured in Brawl; with the remainder taken directly from the original games. The new arrangements were composed in a collaboration between 38 renowned video game composers[12] and has been critically acclaimed for its representation of different generations in gaming history.[13]

Characters

Main article: List of Super Smash Bros. series characters

The cast of 35 playable characters, plus transformations for Zelda & Samus and the alternate Pokémon of the Pokémon Trainer, includes twenty returning veterans from Melee and fifteen newcomers. Of these, 21 are starter characters and fourteen need to be unlocked. Many of the returning characters have been updated or refined since their last appearance, either in terms of appearance, fighting capabilities, or both. For example, Link and Fox McCloud have taken on new designs from more recent titles, while Samus Aran has gained the ability to change into a new form, Zero Suit Samus, by using her Final Smash.

Only five characters do not return from Melee - of these, The Legend of Zelda's Young Link is directly replaced by Toon Link, Pokémon's Mewtwo by Lucario and Fire Emblem's Roy by Ike; while Pichu also has a same-franchise replacement in the Pokémon Trainer - making Dr. Mario, a clone of Mario, the only character not to receive a straight replacement of some kind and decreasing the core Mario universe's representation by one.

Several franchises already represented in the Super Smash Bros. series gain additional character slots, with the Kirby universe the biggest gainer, as both King Dedede and Meta Knight make their playable Super Smash Bros. debuts. Otherwise, EarthBound sees Lucas join, the Star Fox franchise adds Wolf, and the Donkey Kong universe, has Diddy Kong added to the roster; while Metroid has Samus' aforementioned "Zero Suit" form, which originally debuted in Metroid: Zero Mission, added as a transformation for its sole character.

New character slots which go to Nintendo series previously unrepresented include Pit, in the first appearance of elements from the Kid Icarus series in a video game since the 1991 Game Boy game Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters; Wario, originally a Mario spin-off but long launched into a franchise of his own; Captain Olimar from the Pikmin series; and the NES peripheral R.O.B.

Finally, Solid Snake, the main protagonist of the Metal Gear franchise, and Sonic the Hedgehog from his eponymous series become the first third-party characters to appear in a Super Smash Bros. game.

Collectibles

Main articles: Trophy, List of trophies, Sticker, List of stickers, CD, and Coins (lottery)

The number of Trophies, statuettes of Nintendo characters and objects which can be collected in-game, was almost doubled from Melee. These trophies give a brief history of the character or objects they show.[14] A related feature was the introduction of stickers, small pieces of Nintendo artwork which can be picked up during matches and which act as power-ups in in Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary.[15]. Through the Trophy Hoard and Sticker Album, players can place stickers and trophies onto virtual backgrounds and record snapshots into the Wii's internal memory and SD cards, which can be sent to other players via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.[14][15]

Also introduced to the series are collectable CDs, which, when obtained, offer new music choices for playable stages.[16]

By completing stages in Classic Mode[17], All-Star Mode and The Subspace Emissary, coins can be earned. The coins can be used to play the Coin Launcher to win more stickers or trophies, to "pay" for Continues in Classic and All-Star Mode, to bet on the outcome of Spectator Mode matches and to choose stages in online play.

Masterpieces

Main article: Masterpieces

Brawl introduces "Masterpieces", time-limited Virtual Console game demonstrations, to the Super Smash Bros. series. The international release has twelve such games available, each of which features one or more of the playable characters from Brawl. Seven games are available for play to begin with, with five more unlockable by completing Challenges, which range from Mario's debut in Donkey Kong to the critically acclaimed late Nintendo 64 title The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The time-limits on each individual play last between 30 seconds (Donkey Kong), to five minutes (Ocarina of Time).

The Japanese release has two Masterpieces more than the international releases - the SNES games Mother 2 (known as EarthBound in its US release) and Fire Emblem: Monsho no Nazo.

Music

Main articles: My Music, Music (SSBB), and Super Smash Bros. Brawl Main Theme

On May 22, 2007, Sakurai revealed a list of 38 composers providing the musical score for the game. In his accompanying statement, Sakurai said that he had asked the composers, who come from a variety of companies and have written music for first, second, and third-party games, "to listen to an elite selection of Nintendo music and arrange several of their favorite songs."[12]

Each of the game stages have multiple musical tracks which players can listen to using the new "My Music" feature, including some songs that were taken directly from other games without any modification or special arrangement. This feature also allows the player to adjust the frequency of how often a song is played on a given stage. Collecting CDs expands the range of music avail.[16]

At the pre-E3 2005 press conference, the president of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, announced the next installment of Super Smash Bros. was not only already in development for their next gaming console, but would be a launch title with Wi-Fi compatibility for online play.[18] The announcement was unexpected to the creator of the Super Smash Bros. series, Masahiro Sakurai. Back in 2003, he had left HAL Laboratory, the company that was in charge with the franchises' development and was never informed of this announcement despite the fact shortly after resigning from the company, Iwata said if a new game was to be made, he would be in charge. It was not until after the conference Sakurai was called to Satoru Iwata's room on the top floor of a Los Angeles hotel where he was told by Iwata, "We'd like you to be involved in the production of the new Smash Bros., if possible near the level of director".[19] Although originally announced to be a launch title, Sakurai stated "I decided to become director. And as of May, 2005, I was the only member of the new Smash Bros. development team". Development of the game never actually started until late 2005, and just for its production, Nintendo opened a new office in Tokyo at the beginning of October 2005. Nintendo also enlisted outside help from a company who, at that point in time, just finished development of a major title. Sakurai also stated that these people had spent excessive amounts of time playing Melee. This team will have access to all the original material and tools from the development of Melee, courtesy of HAL Laboratory. Also, several Smash Bros. staff members that reside around the area of the new office have joined up on the project's development.[20][21]

Brawl was absent from Nintendo's Wii showing at its 2006 Pre-E3 press conference. The next day, on May 10, 2006, its first official trailer was unveiled at E3 and at the After-Hours Press Conference, Nintendo officially revealed the game under the name of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In an interview with IGN, Sakurai said the Wii's motion sensing features might not be included because, "we found that trying to implement too much motion-sensory functionality can get in the way of the game."[22] As far as Wi-Fi play is concerned, Sakurai stated his plan was to include Wi-Fi connection compatibility and online functionality, he goes on to say "one of the primary reasons Super Smash Bros. Brawl was created was that Nintendo, when taking Wii online, wanted to have Smash Bros. to do that".[22] However, as stated on the Japanese version of the Smash Bros. website, "there would be many hurdles to cross," and an online ranking system is unlikely to be implemented.[23] During a test play between Sakurai and Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear series, Kojima stated that the game feels complete and that Nintendo "could put it out right now and it would sell millions of copies."[24] Starting May 22, 2007, the site has had updates every weekday. Throughout October 18-22, 2007 at the first Entertainment for All Expo show in Los Angeles, California, Nintendo hosted a Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament.[25]

At the Nintendo Media Conference at E3 2007, it was announced by Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime that Brawl would be released on December 3, 2007 in the Americas.[26] However, just two months before its anticipated December release, the development team asked for more time to work on the game. During the Nintendo Conference on October 10, 2007, Nintendo of Japan president Iwata announced the delay, saying:

“ In order to fine tune Smash Bros., with this unprecedented game depth, we have decided that we have to take a little more time to complete the game than we announced before. We are sorry for the fans that are already anxiously waiting for the launch, but we would like to launch this game on January 24th, 2008 in Japan. As for the North American launch, we will review that too, and our local subsidiaries will make their own announcements.[27] ”

On October 11, 2007, George Harrison of Nintendo of America announced that Brawl would be released on February 10, 2008 in North America.[28] Apparently, the American English game was delayed again to March 9th. [29]

Inclusion of characters

Sakurai stated that he did not want to emphasize Japan-only characters;[30] in Brawl's cast, only Lucas had not appeared outside of Japan (although Marth had only previously only appeared internationally in Super Smash Bros. Melee, rather than his home franchise). Sakurai also stated there would be no more than three third-party characters;[30] these characters were Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog. The inclusion of Konami-created character Solid Snake may seem to conflict with the Super Smash Bros. paradigm — to only include characters from games made by Nintendo and its second parties — but Sakurai said Hideo Kojima "practically begged" for Snake to be included in Melee, which did not happen because the game was too far in development. This in turn led to his appearance in the following game instead.[31] Similarly, Lucas from Mother 3 was intended to be used in Melee, but was left out because Mother 3 was delayed.[32]

Japanese fans were asked to submit their desired characters and musical themes via a forum on the game's official Japanese site, with some possibly appearing in the game. Likewise, fans from other countries were asked to submit ideas on Nintendo's official forums.[33]

Suggestions were no longer being taken as of June 9, 2006. In August 2006, Sakurai and Miyamoto stated that Nintendo was negotiating rights to other third-party characters.[34] The most requested third-party character, Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog, was announced to be in the game on October 10, 2007.[35]

Trailers

Main article: Super Smash Bros. Brawl Trailers

Several different trailers for Brawl were released before the game came out. The original trailer was shown at E3 2006 on May 11, 2006 and revealed Solid Snake as a playable character. A second trailer was shown at the Nintendo World 2006 convention in December, and revealed Fox's return as a playable character. A third trailer was shown as the October 10, 2007 Nintendo Press Conference, which revealed Sonic as a playable character. A final trailer showcasing Brawl's adventure mode, the Subspace Emissary, was released on Friday, December 21, 2007. This trailer revealed that Ike and the Ice Climbers would appear in this mode, among other things.

Brawl was received with positive reviews, with ratings equal or slightly better than Melee. The game's multiplayer was received excellently, but single player, while noted as superior to Melee's, was still only average.

Changes from Melee to Brawl

The most prominent Brawl-Melee change is the new physics. Generally, the game plays slower - every veteran has a slower fall speed, L-cancelling has been removed, and characters must wait a slight amount of time before being able to Meteor Cancel. Most notably, the air dodge does not involve characters shifting in a direction - instead, characters continue on whatever path they were moving before the air dodge. This allows air dodging to not put characters into a helpless state, and it also makes wavedashing impossible. Because of this, some consider Melee to be superior to Brawl. Others disagree, considering Brawl to simply have a different play style, as well as smoother gameplay.

There have been multiple improvements and additions. There are no true spikes; all attacks that have a downwards angle are Meteor Smashes and are harder to land in general. All characters can Meteor Smash with the addition of the Footstool Jump. Characters can grab an edge if they're facing the wrong way which lowers the usefulness of some attacks such as Mario's cape, as well as being able to angle smash attacks while they're being charged. Characters can pummel faster and some can crawl, while others can glide or wall cling, and all of them can swim.

However, there are some changes that were not liked. Hitstun in Brawl is significantly decreased and can be air dodged or attacked out of; this makes true combos almost nonexistent. (Despite this, certain attacks have extreme hitlag.) Not all characters can Meteor Cancel by jumping, and the window for dash-dancing is so small it loses almost all its usefulness. Tether recoveries are generally less useful than the wall-grappling they replaced. Characters must wait an amount of time before being able to move after grabbing an edge. Shieldstun is also drastically decreased, has increased perfect shield window, and it only takes 7 frames to shield drop, making the game defensively-focused.

There are various other changes, including the addition of the Final Smash. Some characters can grab-release others quite reliably. Moonwalking has been removed. CPUs generally gained an AI increase but do not DI very much - perhaps because it has been limited, although easier to do. Grabbing a character does not restore their midair jump(s), and short hopping is made easier as characters are a bit slower at jumping. Smash Taunts do not end if the user flinches; they have to be KO'd to end it early.

Outside of the main game, players can build custom stages and save snapshots and replays. Melee's Adventure Mode has evolved into The Subspace Emissary, while event matches have selectable difficulties and the Home-Run Contest puts a temporary shield around the platform - all of these modes can also be played in co-op. Players can also play online in various modes.

Trivia

  • Unlike Super Smash Bros. Melee, the international releases of Brawl do not provide Japanese audio or text options.
  • Oddly, this is the first game in the series in which any character has a beard (Snake, Ganondorf, and Kirby if he Inhales Snake).
  • The announcer does not yell the game's title at the title screen, in contrast to the previous games in the Super Smash Bros. series.
  • The opening does not show unlockable characters until the player unlocks them, in the same way that the first Super Smash Bros. hid them, with four exceptions: Ness, Marth, Sonic and Snake.
  • Some non-human characters (like Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong) use more realistic sounds, rather than the cartoonish sounds they make in their own games.
  • The Brawl menu was designed almost identically to Kirby Air Ride, including the Challenges Checklist.
  • The Wii remote speaker is used in only two instances:
    • When a player selects a character, a sound clip of the character will be played through the Wii remote.
    • After each microgame on WarioWare, Inc., a different sound effect will be heard depending on how the player did.
