. Retrieved on 2007-06-19. </ref> As the third installment of the Super Smash Bros. series, this title once again features a diverse roster of characters from Nintendo and its second parties to fight in various kinds of matches. However, Brawl is the first Super Smash Bros. game to feature third-party characters. Most of the game's music is made up of arranged versions of pieces by one of 38 renowned video game composers that originated in previously released Nintendo video games, though some play exactly as they did in their original games.

As with its predecessors, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a departure from traditional fighting games, notably in its simplified move commands and its emphasis on ring outs over knockouts. It will include a deeper single-player mode than its predecessors. Known as The Subspace Emissary, this mode is a plot driven side-scrolling video game featuring Brawl's playable characters. Super Smash Bros. Brawl supports multiplayer battles with up to four combatants, and will be the first game of its franchise to support online battles through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Sommaire

Gameplay

Following the style of its predecessors, the game uses a battle system different from that of typical fighting games. Choosing from a variety of characters, one to four players fight on various stages, trying to knock their opponents off the screen. Instead of using health bars like standard fighting games, percentage displays are employed. These start at zero percent, and increase as the characters take damage up to 999%. As a character's percentage goes up, the character flies farther back when hit. When a character is knocked beyond a stage's boundary and disappears from the screen, the character loses either a life or a point depending on the mode of play.<ref> The Basic Rules

Mario, Yoshi, Ike, and Wario preparing to fight. The damage meter now displays the name, image and series symbol of the character.

The characters can fight each other with a variety of attacks. Each move is prompted with the press of a button in conjunction with a tilt of the control stick or a press of the D-pad, depending on the mode of control. In addition to basic attacks, such as punches and kicks, characters have access to more powerful smash attacks. Each character also has four character-specific special moves, which often have unique effects beyond damaging an opponent. The game introduces the ability to perform character-specific super attacks, referred to as "Final Smash" moves. Final Smashes are significantly more powerful than regular attacks, having a wide variety of effects that range from nearly unavoidable blasts to temporary transformations. These abilities may be performed upon destroying a Smash Ball (an item bearing the Smash Bros. symbol), which may appear more than once in any given battle. When the Smash Ball has been successfully broken by a character, he produces a Final Smash. However, should the player wait too long to use it and sustain too much damage, the ability will be lost and a Smash Ball will be knocked out of the character to resume flying about the stage.<ref name="E3 2006"/><ref name="Final Smash"> What is a Final Smash?

Stages

Stages are arenas that are generally based on levels from the various represented game series of Super Smash Bros. Although they are three-dimensional, characters cannot move freely along the z-axis. Stages range from floating platforms to moving areas where the characters must stay within the field of play. Each stage has a boundary that cannot be passed, or the character will be "KO'd", thus losing a life.

As in Super Smash Bros. Melee, the game introduces new stages. New environmental gameplay mechanics have been added with this installment, such as destructible terrain. This is a prominent feature of the Skyworld stage, based upon the Kid Icarus series of games<ref name="Skyworld"> Skyworld

Group

In addition to the standard multiplayer mode "Brawl", Super Smash Bros. Brawl features some other unique multiplayer modes and options in Group mode.

Special Melee from the previous game returns as Special Brawl. In this mode, players will be able to battle in matches using special rules for a greater level of customization. Whereas previously standard options such as "Giant Melee" or "Invisible Melee" were limited to only one 'feature' per match, players may now select as many options as they like for a single match.<ref> Special Brawl

Solo

Keeping consistent with its predecessors, Brawl includes various modes of play from the previous game designed for a single player. In Classic mode, the player goes through a number of semi-randomly generated matches that consist of numerous stages before reaching the end. Each stage features an arena from a particular series, such as The Legend of Zelda or Pokémon. Several stages also have a unique battle condition, such as a metal opponent or a two-on-two team battle.<ref> Classic

Also returning from Melee, Brawl features objective-oriented minigames in Stadium Mode. The Home-Run Contest mode is one of these features. In Home-Run Contest, the player must beat the Sandbag to deal as much damage as possible in ten seconds, then strike it with a Home-Run Bat to send it as far as possible. Returning from the two previous games is the Target Smash! minigame, in which the player must break 10 targets as quickly as possible. Departing from previous incarnations of this mode, players can access five different maps with any character, whereas the previous Super Smash Bros. games featured one unique map per character.

Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary

Super Smash Bros. Brawl will feature a new Adventure Mode titled Super Smash Bros. Brawl: The Subspace Emissary. This mode will feature unique character storylines along with numerous side scrolling levels and multiple bosses to fight, as well as CG cut scenes explaining the storyline. The Subspace Emissary features a new group of antagonists called the Subspace Army, who are lead by the Ancient Minister. Some of these enemy characters appeared in previous Nintendo video games, such as Petey Piranha from the Mario series and a squadron of R.O.B.s based on classic Nintendo hardware. The Subspace Emissary also boasts a number of original enemies, such as the Roader, a robotic unicycle; the Bytan, a one-eyed ball-like creature which can replicate itself if left alone; and the Primid, enemies that come in many variations.<ref>Modèle:Citeweb</ref> The Adventure mode emphasizes character development, with individual characters persevering under the weight of their personal histories.<ref name="subspace"> What is the Subspace Emissary?

Masahiro Sakurai claims that this mode will be more "fleshed out" than the single-player modes in previous Smash Bros. titles.<ref name="subspace" /> Shigeru Miyamoto has explained that Sakurai always wanted to have a very deep single-player game, but he wanted Sakurai to focus more on the multiplayer aspects in the previous titles since there were already many single-player games of this kind. With the development time allotted for Brawl, both were possible.<ref> Bramwell , Tom

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection

Super Smash Bros. Brawl allows players to play against distant opponents through the use of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Online multiplayer games can be played either with registered friends or with other randomly selected participants. The players' nicknames will be displayed during multiplayer matches. Additionally, players can converse with up to four phrases that are set by the player beforehand. The four phrases correspond to the characters' taunts and will appear in speech bubbles above the characters. It has been emphasized that these names and phrases will not be displayed in random-player matches. Spectator mode, a new feature, allows players to watch matches taking place over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and bet on the outcome using coins earned within the game. The winner receives a jackpot of coins.<ref name="Spectator"> Sakurai, Masahiro

Playable characters

The cast of characters includes various returning characters from Super Smash Bros. Melee and a variety of newcomers. Some 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 has gained the ability to change into a new form, "Zero Suit Samus", by using her Final Smash.

Some previously represented series have had more characters added to Brawl. Diddy Kong from the Donkey Kong series and Ike from the Fire Emblem series will make their first appearance in the Smash Bros. series. Other newcomers are the first to represent their series. These include characters such as Pit, representing the Kid Icarus series for the first time since the 1991 Game Boy game Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters; Wario, from Nintendo's highly successful WarioWare and Wario Land series and an occasional antagonist of Mario's. Solid Snake, the main protagonist of Konami's Metal Gear franchise, and Sonic the Hedgehog from Nintendo's former rival Sega are the first third-party characters to appear in a Super Smash Bros. game.
