|INTRO TO SMASH BROS. BRAWL|--------------------------------------------------|
1--------------------------1 1
So, you've gone to the store, pointed into the glass case, paid the money,
ripped off the plastic during the drive home, and are now just itching to get
into the fray, right? Have no fear, as I will divulge to you the (rather
simple) game controls, as well as your objectives and a little bit of history.
Are you ready? Well you better be.
A+++++++++++++++A [64,SSBM] A
+SSB64 AND MELEE+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A+++++++++++++++A A
Back in the SNES days, an idea for a different kind of fighting game was thrown
around Nintendo. This game would be like a normal fighting game except that
instead of health bars, combatants would only be knocked out from being hit
outside the ring. But with the success of Super Mario Kart, a sports game using
previously-established characters (the Mario crew in this case), the game's
developers asked for permission to use various Nintendo characters. Also, the
game grew too complex for a SNES, so it was pushed back to the N64. In 1999,
Super Smash Bros. was released. Although a low-budget Japan-only title to begin
with, its massive popularity prompted a worldwide release, and it only grew
from there.
Obviously, the game was destined for a sequel. A mere two years later, it
happened. Super Smash Bros. Melee for GameCube was released in the late stages
of 2001, and it broke all records. Even today, it's the highest-selling
GameCube game of all time, and its graphics and sound quality have few rivals.
How could you top such a game? Blow it out of the water. So in early 2008,
Super Smash Bros. Brawl made its debut after over two or three years of hype,
fuss and bother. Does it top the two predeccessors? You decide.

+CONTROLS++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
B++++++++B B
It's not much fun owning a game if you don't know how to play it, right? Well,
here's a big table full of just that kind of information. Why a table, you ask?
Because SSBB supports four control schemes!
+------------+-------------+------------------+----------------+-------------+

+------------+-------------+------------------+----------------+-------------+
| Taunt | D-pad | D-pad | 1,2 | A |
+------------+-------------+------------------+----------------+-------------+
Because the GameCube controller stays mostly unchanged from Melee, the rest of
the guide will assume its control. Just head back up here if you get confused.
Of course, knowing the controls is bunk unless you know your objective. Well,
Brawl is a fighting game, so you're trying to pulverize your enemies. Just
attacking them will do no good, however. As you're damaged, your damage
percentage rises. The higher it is, the farther you fly when you're hit. You
lose a stock when you fly off at such distance that you can't return to the
stage. Although the game type may differ, the point is the same: KO your
opponent before he KOs you!

+MOVES AND MANEUVERS+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
C+++++++++++++++++++C C
Now you know what to do. You just don't know what happens. Fear not, here are
the explanations of all your abilities!
i~~~~~~~~~~~~~~i [standrd] i
$STANDARD MOVES$~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$
i~~~~~~~~~~~~~~i i
Standard Attack: Just attack. Fast, simple, weak.
Standard Combo: Just attack repeatedly, or hold the attack button down. There
are various combos: flurry of punches, array of kicks, or just the standard
attack repeated over again.
Tilt Attack: Hold a direction and attack. Three variations: forward tilt, up
tilt, and down tilt. Some f-tilts can be angled up or down.
Smash Attack: Tap in a direction and attack. Strong, usually slow. Most are
designed to KO. Three variations: forward smash, up smash, and down smash. Some
f-smashes can be angled up or down.
Dash Attack: Just attack while running.
Air Attack: Attack while in the air. Five different attacks are possible
depending on where the Stick is positioned: neutral, forward, back, up, and
down. Unlike ground attacks, you get different air attacks if you face the
other direction. Referred to as "nair", "fair", "bair", "uair", and "dair"
respectively.
Special Attack: Every character has four special attacks: neutral, side, up,
and down. Although everyone's are different, up-Bs usually are triple jumps.
Shield: Holding the shield button brings up a bubble that protects you from
most attacks. Shields shrink over time, and shrink a lot when hit. When shields
shrink to nothing, they break and leave you stunned for a little while. Also,
enemies can hit your body parts that aren't covered by the shrinking shield
(this is called shieldstabbing). You cannot shield against grabs. In case
you're a Melee player, you should know that lightshieling (holding down the
Gamecube controller's L/R button partway down) is out because no other
controller has such analog buttons.
Grab: You can grab enemies and subsequently throw them. To throw, tap in the
direction you want to throw them in. You can't hold onto someone forever: the
lower someone's % is, the faster they escape grabs. You can also attack
(pummel) someone you're holding.
On The Edge: While you're hanging on the edge, you can do a few things: attack,
jump, climb, or drop. You will drop automatically after a little while, and you
get a second or two of invincibility when you first grab it. Only one person
can hang on the edge at once. Also note that all your edge moves change when
your damage percentage is 100% or higher (generally, they get slower).
Items: Pick up items with A (or whatever your standard attack button is). Some
items are used right away, such as healing items. Other items are meant to be
tossed at people, simply attack to throw. You can throw items in any direction
and at various speeds. If you're holding a clobbering item such as a Fan, your
standing attack, dash attack, f-tilt, and f-smash are all changed to accomodate
the item. Shooting items are used by attacking: you can walk and jump while
firing. To get rid of an item, throw it away with L/R (or whatever grab
button).
Heavy Items: Some items like Crates are too big to carry easily. When you're
holding one, you can only walk (slowly, depending on your character's strength)
and throw it. You can throw heavy items in any direction.
Final Smash: A super-powerful move that's only avaliable when you get a Smash
Ball (explained in the Items section). To use the Final Smash, simply do your
neutral special move. Some Final Smashes have additional controls, while others
are fire-and-forget.
Pity Final Smash: If you suck, the game gives you a free Final Smash. I think
you have to be KO'd three times in a row or something. Note that most Final
Smashes can't even KO you twice, so this isn't as unfair as it may seem. I
don't think it's possible for a character to drop a PFS, but I'm not really
sure.
Taunt: It's a taunt. Taunts don't affect the battle in any way (although they
could bug your opponents), they're just used for fun. Note that you can do
three different taunts: D-pad up (Nunchuk 1), D-pad down (Nunchuk 2), and D-pad
side (Nunchuk 1+2). You can choose your taunt with the Wiimote (taunt button A,
choose taunt with D-pad), but it's not easy.
Forced Fall: Not a technique, but something very important to know. After most
recovery moves (and certain special moves when used in the air), your character
can no longer do anything until they touch the ground or are hit (in which case
they can do their Up-B again, but not their double jump). You know you're in a
forced fall when you're flashing black.
Bubble Damage: Again, not a technique, but something you have to be aware of.
If you continuously stay off the screen (and are therefore in the magnifying
glass all the time), you'll get 1% damage a second. This is to prevent people
from staying far away all the time. Once you get to 150% damage, bubble damage
stops (for you).
ii~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ii [intrmdt] ii
$INTERMEDIATE MANEUVERS$~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$
ii~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ii ii
Breakfall/Tech: When you're tumbling, shield just before you hit the ground and
you'll roll to your feet. You can flip in place or roll sideways, depending on
your Stick position. You can also do this against walls and ceilings, but the
timing is harder and you can't roll. The game calls this a "ukemi" after the
martial arts technique, but expect SSB vetrans to give you a funny look if you
call it that.
Sidestep: While you're shielding, tap down and you'll do a sidestep dodge.
Short, but usually enough to offset quick attacks. Despite the animation, this
also works against attacks that come in from the foreground or background.
Airdodge: Shield in the air to do an airdodge. Unlike the previous game, you
can't airdodge in a certain direction: you simply dodge, continuing on your
current path. However, you can jump or attack after you airdodge. CPU players
love to airdodge after they get hit because it seems to reduce their momentum a
little.
Crawl: Certain characters can crawl (by moving while crouching). Crawling lets
you move towards someone shooting you, for example (if the shots go over your
crouched body).
Fastfall: Tap down when in the air to fall faster. You can't "slowfall", or
undo the fastfall before you hit the ground.
Footstool Jump: If you jump just as you come down on someone, you'll bounce
off their head while they are sent downwards. Can be used as a Meteor Smash,
but aren't very powerful. Can be done four times in one air trip with
decreasing height each time.
Glide: Characters with wings can glide once per air trip. Simply hold down the
jump button after a double jump to start gliding. You can aim up or down, but
if you aim too high or low, you stall. Attacking will also stop the glide.
Lifesteal: In a team stock match, if you lose all your lives yet a teammate of
yours has at least two left, you can press A+B (note that this is A and B
regardless of which control scheme you're using) to take one life from him/her.
Meteor Smash: Certain air attacks send the opponent downwards. These are called
Meteor Smashes.
Meteor Cancel: If you jump just after you're hit with a Meteor Smash, your
downwards momentum will instantly stop.
Out of Shield Jump: Just what it sounds like. However, you can only jump out of
your shield if you use the Control Stick(/D-pad on Wiimote). Because of the way
the game's programmed, this also allows you to do your up-smash or Up-B without
the potential lag of the shield-dropping animation.
Pivot Grab: Your grab range is massively increased if you dash, turn around,
and grab while you're turning. Because a pivot grab uses the standing grab
animation as opposed to the running grab animation, it's a boon for those with
extended grabs that are very slow and laggy while running (Yoshi, Lucas). The
timing has to be pretty exact.
Tether Recovery: Certain characters have grappling-hook type moves, such as
Link's Clawshot. They can grab onto the edge of the stage from a distance. Note
that they go for the edge, not the wall (and therefore fail if there is no
grabbable edge nearby). Some characters have Tether Recoveries as their Up-Bs.
Shorthop: If you let go of the jump button or release the Control Stick before
your character actually leaves the ground, they only jump half as high. While
this sounds bad, it allows you to do aerial attacks pretty close to the ground.
The game calls this the "small jump". No one else in the world does.
Swimming: Different characters can swim for different amounts of time. While in
the water, you can only move sideways and jump (this counts as your first jump,
you can double jump after leaving the water). The more damage you have, the
less time you have before you sink and get KO'd.
Tripping: You may have noticed that sometimes when you dash, you trip and fall
down. There's no easy way to cause tripping (except by running on ice, which
makes it more common) and it has no use whatsoever. Just something to watch out
for.
Walljump: Certain characters can jump off walls. To do this, just face the
wall, get right against it, and smash the Stick in the opposite direction. Can
be used repeatedly to "climb" vertical shafts, but each successive jump gets
less height. (Note that any character can walljump by holding Up while doing a
breakfall against a wall.)
Wallcling: Out of the characters that can walljump, some of them have the
ability to stick to walls for about two seconds before falling or jumping. Just
tap towards the wall to stick there.
iii~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~iii [advance] iii
$ADVANCED TECHNIQUES$~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$
iii~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~iii iii
Powershield: If you activate your shield the instant before you get hit, you'll
do a powershield. Powershielding blocks all attacks without using up shield
energy. A more technical definition of powershielding is this: shielding at the
time which causes your shield to appear overtop the incoming attack. The game
calls this a Perfect Shield for some reason. (Melee used Powershield. So
there.)
Tumble Recovery: You can tap left and right to stop yourself from tumbling in
the air. Not so useful now that airdodges can be used while tumbing and
therefore accomplish the same thing.
Eating While Reclining: For some completely unknown reason, you can eat food
while you're laying down.
Glancing Blow/Phantom Hit: It's a good thing this technique is hard to do:
moves that just barely reach the opponent will do half damage without even
causing the opponent to flinch. Indicated by a small yellow spark.

|CHARACTERS|------------------------------------------------------------------|
2----------2 2
Obviously, the main focus of Smash Bros. is the variety of characters.
This is basically a list of each character's movesets, their costumes, their
taunts, and a small bio.
Each character has their own weight, fallspeed, and other statistics. For these
values, Mario is taken as the average (by definition).
Weight: How hard it is to knock the character away, and how far they will fly
when hit. Mario is 100%. Lighter characters will have a weight below 100%,
while heavier ones will be above 100%.
Fallspeed: How fast a character falls. Mario is 0.00. Characters that fall
faster will have a positive value, those that fall slower will have a negative
one.
Airspeed: How quickly a character can move sideways through the air. Mario is
100%. Characters that move faster through the air will have a number above
100%, slower ones will be below 100%.
For each move, I will indicate its damage and the trajectory of the opponent.
The trajectory is given in degrees: a 0 is horizontal, with a 90 being straight
up and a -90 being straight down. (Numbers such as 35b indicate that the
opponent flies past you instead of away from you.) This is mostly approximate.
(Trajectories were measured by setting a character to 999% in training mode.)
A format example from Mario's moveset:
Neutral: Punch/Punch/Kick (3%/2%/4%) (-/-/45)
F-Smash: Fire Smash (17%-23%) (30) (14%-19% if not sweetspotted)
Nair: Drop Kick (10%>) (35)
Fair: Meteor Punch (~13%) (35-80) (Meteor Smash if sweetspotted)
Dair: Mario Tornado (1%(x5)/7%) (-(x5)/75)
The neutral attacks does three hits of 3%, 2%, and 4% respectively with only
the third hit giving any considerable knockback (at a 45 degree angle). The
F-Smash does 17% when uncharged and 23% damage when fully charged (unless the
sweetspot is missed). The ">" symbol for the nair means that the attack stays
out after the initial burst. Such attacks cause the stated damage on the first
hit and cause less damage after that (depending on how long after the initial
"push" the hit is). And the fair's damage and trajectory are variable depending
on how the attack hits. (Meteor Smashes have a trajectory of -90 by definition,
but these statistics were recorded for grounded characters.) Sometimes you may
see a trajectory of (35,35b) which means that, depending on circumstances, you
may get either trajectory (with no inbetweens). Finally, the (x5) in the dair
means that the attack has more hits than I'm willing to type out, and they all
do the same damage and knockback (in this case 5 hits of 1% each).
If an attack has two seperate parts (such as most down smashes), they are
listed seperately.
One more note: If you use an attack repeatedly, the damage done goes down. Use
different attacks to reset the damage.

+MARIO+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A+++++A A
Full Name: Mario Mario
Smash Bros. Appearance: Third
Universe: Mushroom Kingdom
Ahh yes, Mario. The most recognizable character anywhere. The man who saved the
whole video gaming industry. If you think you can keep such a plumber out of a
game like Smash Bros., you're crazier than Fawful on a sugar high.
Entrance: He jumps out of a pipe.
Costumes: Red/blue (default), white/red (Fire Mario), blue/red (oldschool),
yellow/purple (Wario), black/white, green/orange
Taunts: Takes off his hat and spins around; grows and shrinks again; twirls in
the air
Weight: 100.0%, 17th heaviest
Fallspeed: 0.00, 15th slowest (Tied with Pit)
Airspeed: 100.0%, 18th fastest (Tied with Ness)
Can walljump
Standard Attacks:
Neutral: Punch/Punch/Kick (3%/2%/4%) (-/-/45)
F-Tilt: Power Kick (8%) (30)
U-Tilt: Uppercut (7%) (80b)
D-Tilt: Crouch Kick (5%) (80)
Dash: Slide Kick (9%) (70b)
U-Smash: Head Snap (14%-19%) (85)
D-Smash: Breakdance Kick (front) (15%-21%) (35)
(back) (12%-16%) (35)
F-Smash: Fire Smash (17%-23%) (30) (14%-19% if not sweetspotted)
Nair: Drop Kick (10%>) (35)
Fair: Meteor Punch (~13%) (35-80) (Meteor Smash if sweetspotted)
Bair: Rear Kick (12%) (35)
Uair: Flip Kick (11%) (45)
Dair: Mario Tornado (1%(x5)/7%) (-(x5)/75)
Pummel: Nosebutt (3%) (-)
F-Throw: Spin Chuck (9%) (60)
B-Throw: Spin Throw (12%) (60)
U-Throw: Vertical Hurl (8%) (90)
D-Throw: Ground Slam (6%) (85)
Special Moves:
Neutral: Fireball (5%) (-)
Mario's Fireball is his only projectile. The boiling ball bounces away from him
in the direction he's facing.
Side: Super Cape (8%) (-)
Use this to reflect projectiles and turn your opponents around. In theory, you
could use this to avoid taking any damage. Can be used to get some extra
horizontal distance on your recovery.
Up: Super Jump Punch (5%/1%(x4)/3%) (70)
With a bound, Mario soars upwards in a curved path. He can trap opponents in
the move and drag them up with him. Used as Mario's triple jump.
Down: FLUDD (0%) (-)
Originally the Mario Tornado, this is now a slightly garbage-like move. Mario
takes out his Flash Liquid Ultra Dousing Device (watergun backpack) and sprays
H2O at people. It does no damage, and the knockback isn't too great. You can
charge up your spray by holding down B, and you can even charge when shielding.
Because it doesn't cause flinching, you can use it to push recovering people
away from the stage without giving them back their triple jump. But there's
really no use for it other than that.
Final Smash: Mario Finale (2%-3% per hit) (0)
Also known as Mario Firestorm, Fire Whirl, and Flame Torrent. All of which
describe the attack better. Mario blows two spirals of fire out of his hands,
which spin and expand over the entire stage. Best used from the vertical middle
of the side of the stage. Causes tons of damage with little knockback, but can
easily drag people off the stage. Not effective on anyone standing behind you.
B+++++B [char:Lg] B
+LUIGI+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
B+++++B B
Full Name: Luigi Mario (that's why they're the "Mario Bros.")
Smash Bros. Appearance: Third
Universe: Mushroom Kingdom
The green machine is back for another installment of being able to beat the
daylights out of his older bro. Although known as the "eternal understudy",
Luigi has two things Mario doesn't: less body fat, and a real personality. He
drinks coffee. He's scared of ghosts. He's timid and jittery. Also, his taunts
are a racket.
Entrance: Jumps out of a pipe.
Costumes: Green/blue (default), yellow/blue, pink/red, aqua/blue, white/green
(Fire Luigi), purple/black (Waluigi)
Taunts: Scuffs his heel (this does 2% damage and sends the opponent upwards!);
does a faceplant; goes through 5 poses with no animation
Weight: 99.5%, 18th heaviest
Fallspeed: -0.32, 7th slowest (Tied with R.O.B.)
Airspeed: 78.4%, 2nd slowest
Can crawl
Special Traits: Luigi has a lack of traction, so he tends to slide around a
lot.
Standard Attacks:
Neutral: Punch/Punch/Butt (3%/2%/5%) (-/-/35)
F-Tilt: Power Kick (10%) (35)
U-Tilt: Upper Swipe (9%) (80b)
D-Tilt: Crouch Kick (9%) (90)
Dash: Frenzy Punches (1%(x6)/2%) (35(x6)/35)
U-Smash: Head Snap (15%-21%) (60b)
D-Smash: Breakdance Kick (front) (16%-22%) (60b)
(back) (16%-22%) (75)
F-Smash: Palm Poke (14%-19%) (60)
Nair: Drop Kick (14%>) (90)
Fair: Karate Chop (10%) (35)

F-Throw: Spin Chuck (9%) (60)
B-Throw: Spin Throw (12%) (45)
U-Throw: Vertical Hurl (8%) (90)
D-Throw: Ground Slam (6%) (85)
Special Moves:
Neutral: Green Fireball (6%) (-)
Unlike Mario's Fireball, Luigi's is not affected by gravity. Other than that,
it's virtually identical.
Side: Green Missile (5%-26%) (35)
Hold down B to wind up energy. Let go to launch yourself sideways, with
distance and damage depending on how long you charged. Simple, right? Well,
there's a 1 in 8 chance that Luigi will misfire, automatically causing maximum
damage. This can be used for recovering horizontally, but watch out for SD'ing.
Up: Fire Jump Punch (25% on ground, 20% in air) (90) (1% if not sweetspotted)
Normally, when you hit someone which this move, you deal 1% damage with no
knockback. However, if they're right in your face as you press the button,
they'll be sent rocketing upwards in flames. This sweetspot has much more power
when used on the ground. As a recovery move, it only goes straight up, so you
need to use the Green Missile to make up horizontal distance first.
Down: Luigi Cyclone (2%) (15,15b,90)
Luigi spins around haphazardly, dealing a solid blow to people in his way.
While twirling on the ground, you can move sideways quite a bit. Mash the B
button during the move to rise up a fair bit - this trick can only be used once
per aerial trip. The final hit sends people upwards, but it's not good at
comboing.
Final Smash: Negative Zone (0%) (-)
What the...Luigi dances around like a drunken hobo, causing a large circle to
open up around him. This is the Negative Zone - opponents caught in it suffer
a variety of negative status effects, including but not limited to:
Attack power drop
Weight drop
Slower movement
Icy traction
Sleep
Flower
Dizziness
Uncontrollable taunting
Steady damage
Timeslow
With all this bad stuff going on, Luigi (once he's stopped dancing) has an easy
time waltzing up to people and pegging 'em with the Fire Jump Punch.

Full Name: Princess Peach Toadstool
Smash Bros. Appearance: Second
Universe: Mushroom Kingdom
The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom is by no means a pushover. Sure, Peach
gets kidnapped by Bowser a lot, but without the universal limits of someone in
her position, she can really dish out some pain. Who needs a plumber when
you've got a frying pan?
Entrance: Appears in some...pink hearty cloud. Yeah.
Costumes: Pink (default), yellow (Daisy), red, blue, green, white
Taunts: Spins and waggles her finger; dances a little; poses with umbrella
Weight: 96.0%, 14th lighest
Fallspeed: -0.37, 6th slowest
Airspeed: 93.8%, 16th slowest (Tied with Pikachu)
Special Traits: Peach can float (once per air trip) by holding down the jump
button for a few seconds. She can attack while floating.
Neutral: Slap/Slap (3%/3%) (-/45)

B-Throw: Butt Blast (2%/9%) (-/40)
U-Throw: Push Up (2%/6%) (-/90)
D-Throw: Butt Slam (0%/7%) (-/80b)
Special Moves:
Neutral: Toad (counterattack, 3% per hit) (45)
Peach pulls out Toad for a few seconds, holding him in front of her. Any attack
that hits the mushroom guy will be nullified, and spores will fly outwards as a
counterattack.
Side: Peach Bomber (15%) (20)
Use this move and Peach will fly sideways butt first, causing an explosion upon
contacting something. Unfortunately, the explosion is made of "pink", it's not
a real explosion like the last game.
Up: Parasol (5% on first hit, 1% after that on rise, 4% when umbrella opens, 3%
during descent) (-,-,75,85)
Causes Peach to fly upwards, poking dudes in the way with her umbrella. After
the height of the jump, it opens and Peach starts floating down slowly. You can
close and reopen the parasol (by Control Stick'ing up and down) to change your
falling speed, as well as glide pretty far with it open.
Down: Vegetable (varies) (20)
With a pook, Peach pulls a turnip out of the ground. They're weak and designed
to be annoying more than anything, but they can be thrown repeatedly and
quickly. Other people can catch them easily. And the face on the turnip
dictates the damage it does. (They're items, so a harder throw equals more
damage. The percentages up there are smash throws.) Watch for the Stichface: it
only shows up 1/58 of the time, and it will probably KO someone. Peach can also
pull Beamswords or Bob-ombs, but they're extremely rare.
Final Smash: Peach Blossom (0%,20%,40%) (-)
This Final Smash is really quite peaceful. Peach dances around and anyone in
range goes off to dream land. Of course, like any other sleep move, you can
only succumb when grounded - if you're in the air, you're safe. Also, the
closer you are to Peach, the longer you snore - and if you're too close, you
could sustain some serious damage before you doze off! Even if not one person
dozes off, dozen of peaches rain down! At 5% a pop, Peach can dart around and
eat 'em all before the enemies realize it. Oh, and you can whack people around
if you want, too.

Full Name: King Bowser Koopa
Smash Bros. Appearance: Second
Universe: Mushroom Kingdom
He's the big bad bully of Nintendo world, and he knows it. Bowser's large and
in charge, at least until Mario comes in and screws the whole thing up. Why
does he always have to ruin all those cool evil plans? Surely they're used to
Bowser kidnapping the princess by now. It's just what he does.
Entrance: He walks out of the flames!
Costumes: Green/yellow (default), black/red, red/yellow, blue/green,
gold/black, bronze-like
Taunts: Gnashes his teeth; roars in an "I'm cool" sort of way; acts like he's
teetering on the edge
Weight: 111.1%, 1st heaviest
Fallspeed: 0.91, 7th fastest (Tied with Ganondorf)
Airspeed: 113.0%, 8th fastest (Tied with Lucas)

B-Throw: Big Hurl (10%) (50)
U-Throw: Spike Slice (1%(x8)/2%) (-(x8)/90) (set knockback)
D-Throw: Flatten (12%) (45)
Special Moves:
Neutral: Fire Breath (2% or 1% per hit)
Hold B to roast anything in yer face. Use it too much and its range will shrink
badly. New to Brawl, Bowser can aim the flames up or down, potentially dragging
people around.
Side: Flying Slam (aka Koopa Klaw) (18%) (60)
Bowser slashes forwards, hurting people that are at a good distance and
grabbing those who are too close. Once grabbed, Bowser does a massive jump and
suplex, flattening the enemy on impact. You can fully control BOwser's
horizontal movement during the leap; it's a good way to get a cheap KO if
you're up by a stock (since they die first). However, the opponent can also
influence Bowser's flight. The less damage one of the involved characters has,
the more control they have over the move. So, even though you can get a cheap
KO, you can't get a cheap KO just because you're at 152% and they're at 9%.
Up: Whirling Fortress (11%> on ground, 10%> in air) (75-90)
A full-body shell spin. It has pretty much no startup time and hits in all
directions. When used on the ground, it does one big hit and you can move
sideways while spinning (its damage goes down as the move progresses). In the
air, it combo-hits. As a recovery move, it's mostly horizontal.
Down: Bowser Bomb (20%, initial hit 4%) (80, initial hit -)
Bowser leaps upwards at a funny angle (unless he's in the air already) and
comes crashing down, doing guess-how-much-damage to anyone below. Both the
startup time and ending lag are slow, but you can grab the edge on your way
down. If someone's in Bowser's face when he jumps upwards, they get dragged
into the air with him (and are then subjected to the rest of the move).
Final Smash: Giga Transformation
Anyone who's played SSBM will know where this one came from. In a flash of
light, Bowser turns into...Giga Bowser! He's massive! In fact, he has infinite
knockback resistance (although he can still get damaged). Feel free to use any
of your Giga-fied moves on the chickens around you before you revert. Every
move in your arsenal has gotten a nice damage increase, and most of them have
elemental side-effects as well (such as freezing people).

+YOSHI+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
E+++++E E
Full Name: Yoshi
Smash Bros. Appearance: Third
Universe: Mushroom Kingdom (Yoshi subdivision)
Part dragon, part dinosaur, Yoshi is the cute yet painful Smasher hailing from
Yoshi's Island. He began stardom on the SNES in Super Mario World, and his
fanbase exploded with the game's sequel. Ready to see what the dude can do?
Entrance: He pops out of an egg.
Costumes: Green (default), red, blue, yellow, light blue, pink
Taunts: Spins around low to the ground; waves his hands up and down; prances
around
Weight: 104.5%, 8th heaviest (Tied with Wario)
Fallspeed: -0.05, 14th slowest
Airspeed: 138.4%, 1st fastest
Can crawl
Special Traits: Yoshi's double jump gives him knockback resistance. Also, he
has the only extended grab in the game that cannot be used as a Tether
Recovery and is the only "big eater" that cannot eat items. Finally, his shield
is an egg instead of a bubble: instead of shrinking, it turns darker. The egg
allows Yoshi protection from shieldstabbing but leaves him unable to jump out
of his shield.
Standard Attacks:
Neutral: Double Kick (3%/6%) (45/40)
F-Tilt: Tail Swat (9%) (85,45)
U-Tilt: Tail Flip (11%) (85b)
D-Tilt: Tail Trip (10%) (35)

Fair: Nose Pound (15%) (90) (Meteor Smash if sweetspotted)
Bair: Tail Wag (4%/3%/3%/4%) (60/60/60/60)
Uair: Vertical Sweep (13%) (90)
Dair: Foot Flurry (3% or 2% per hit, 14 hits) (90) (Meteor Smash if

Pummel: Chew (2%) (-)
F-Throw: Spit (7%) (45)
B-Throw: Spin and Spit (7%) (45)
U-Throw: Spit Up (5%) (90)
D-Throw: Spit Down (4%) (85)
Special Moves:
Neutral: Egg Lay (7%) (-)
Press B to eat the dude in front of you. He pops out as an egg. Egg'd people
take half damage and are trapped until they escape (which is faster for those
who struggle). Can be used for cheap KOs, but only against the people who don't
know that they can control the egg's aerial horizontal movement.
Side: Egg Roll (9%-12%) (85)
Yoshi pops into an egg and starts rumbling around. Although a little hard to
control (read: watch the edge), it does some good damage and is pretty fast.
You don't do damage while turning around. Although this move was near useless
in SSBM, its priority has been buffed a whole ton. It can even cancel out a
Falcon Punch!
Up: Egg Throw (8%) (75)
A unique projectile. Yoshi grabs an eggs a throws it upwards. Exactly where the
egg blows up is entirely dependant on where the Control Stick is when he tosses
it: you can make the range longer, shorter, change the height, throw them
slightly behind you...it's very variable and versatile. Plus, it gives Yoshi a
slight aerial boost (which can be used five or so times).
Down: Ground Pound (the game calls it Yoshi Bomb, the rest of the universe
doesn't) (4%/15%, stars do 4%) (-/80, stars are 45)
Yoshi jumps into the air (if he's not airborne already) and slams downwards.
Anything between the drop point and the ground below is bashed. When Yoshi hits
the ground, stars pop out either side of the impact site. These stars have
extremely high priority and therefore prevent counterattacks while Yoshi gets
up. Yoshi can also knock people upwards at the start of the move (similar to
Bowser) if he starts it on the ground.
Final Smash: Super Dragon (8% for ram, 17% for fireball, 6% per hit for fire
breath) (40 for ram, 70 for fireball, 40 for fire breath)
And the rash of stupid naming continues. Really, Yoshi's only 19% dragon. Who
cares, because a Smash Ball will let him behave like one. First, he grows wings
which give him free movement. Then he starts spewing fire everywhere. Press B
to belch a massive magma ball, while hanging around for a moment will spew a
stream of fire. Even touching him causes some damage.

***SECTION INCOMPLETE***
Full Name: Wario
Smash Bros. Appearance: First
Universe: Mushroom Kingdom (Wario subdivision)
It's-a him, Wario! The round mound of pound has made himself famous with his
five secs-a-pop minigame collections and his angry intentions towards his light
side counterpart, Mario. Now he's in Smash Bros, ready to really throw his
weight around.
Entrance: Rinds his bike in.
Costumes: Yellow/blue/pink (default)
Alternate costume set (Overalls Wario): Yellow/purple (default), red/blue,
light blue/pink, green/brown, white/purple
Taunts: Three-finger "W" salute; shakes his butt at the camera; plays with his
jaw
Weight: 104.5%, 8th heaviest (Tied with Yoshi)
Fallspeed: 0.30, 17th fastest
Airspeed: 127.1%, 3rd fastest
Can crawl
Special Moves:
Neutral: Chomp
Wario opens his mouth and eats whatever's in front of him. If it's an enemy, he
chews a few times and then spits him out. If it's a projectile, then it stays
in his mouth until he either spits it out (press B) or he swallows it. This
move can also eat items (explosives will hurt).
Side: Wario Bike
VROOM! Wario hops on his road hog and starts zooming around, running people
over. Use the Stick to steer, press back to do a wheelie, and use A to jump
off. (You can even taunt while riding.) It's not that simple once you get off
the motorcycle, however: people can pick it up and throw it around! You can
only use the move when you're close to it, or it falls off the screen or gets
broken (and the pieces can be thrown around). It's also possible to ride a
motorbike that "belongs" to another Wario. Or you could eat it to make things
easier.
Up: Corkscrew
A standard helicopter-type recovery move. The difference is that Wario gets
quite a bit of vertical distance with it, as opposed to most other heavies that
get mostly horizontal. You can input a bit extra sideways movement if you're
quick with the stick at the beginning.
Down: Wario Waft
A fart attack. Need I say more? Actually, yes. Use this repeatedly and you'll
produce a pitiful little poot that will do a total of 0% damage and knock the
opponent down. Wait a little while and it'll do some damage. If you can wait a
full two minutes (approx.), Wario will flash brown as a signal of destruction.
Using the move when fully charged causes Wario to fly upwards about two Yoshi
double jumps high and blowing away anyone nearby.
Final Smash: Wario-Man
This is a transformation FS, turning Wario into Wario-Man! Just like Giga
Bowser, his moveset gets increased power and priority. Some of his air moves
even cause him to fly! (Unlike Giga Bowser, you're completely invincible.) The
main thing with Wario-Man is his supreme speed. His attacks come out at least
twice as fast, and using the Wario Bike will likely result in an SD.

DK! Donkey Kong! ... Okay, that's enough of the DK Rap. But it's true - he's
bigger, faster, and stronger in this game than the last two. This ape's been on
friendly terms with the Mushroom Kingdom peoples for a while, but every now and
then he really needs to vent, yaknow?
Entrance: He pops out of a barrel.
Costumes: Brown (default), red, blue, green, white
Taunts: Beats his chest; shakes his fur around; looks to the camera and poses
"I didn't do it!"
Weight: 109.1%, 2nd heaviest
Fallspeed: 0.20, 20th slowest/20th fastest
Airspeed: 115.1%, 6th fastest (Tied with Sonic)
Special Traits: DK is able to run and jump while carrying a crate or something.
Special Moves:
Neutral: Giant Punch
Press B to start winding up a huge haymaker. If you want to release the guff
early, press B again. If you want to pause and resume charging later, shield.
Your charge will being where it left off. Once you're fully charged, jump in
and press B to unleash the power. DK's head will smoke when he's fully charged.
Avoid getting hit while charging - your charge will be reset to zero. Note
this: if the incoming punch is fully charged (as in, fully charged and being
released), DK can't be flinched.
Side: Headbutt
DK uses his head (for once) and pounds people into the ground. While they're in
the dirt you get a free hit. Obviously, this move doesn't work properly when
used in the air - it becomes a Meteor Smash instead.
Up: Spinning Kong
Spins you around a few times. As a recovery move it gets pretty good horizontal
distance but not much vertical. As an attack - well it doesn't do jack, really.
Decent power but not anything exceptional.
Down: Hand Slap
Press down and start mashin' B to quake any dudes on the ground nearby. You
can't use this move in the air (no duh), and you're projectile bait when using
it, but it really puts the hurt on anyone in yer face.
Final Smash: Konga Beat
DK grabs his Bongos and starts playin'. Music waves will damage nearby foes.
You can go ahead and pound, but your range increases greatly (it can even cover
the stage) if you match the beat of the music that comes with the move by
pressing A. Clarification: Even though you may want to press A to the MUSIC,
you have to match the BEAT. Even if the range is ick, you're invincible.
Although you're also immovable, so don't try this on a scrolling stage. Its
real power is as an edgeguard: no one can stay in the air long enough to avoid
the whole attack.

Forget that crap about being DK's nephew, ok? Diddy is a monkey. DK's an ape.
Not possible! But then again, Diddy's pretty impossible himself. He's pretty
popular with his crazy antics and funky moves. Just watch the bananas fly!
Entrance: He pops out of a barrel too.
Costumes: Red (default)
Taunts: Does a pose and shakes his head; dances around and claps his hands;
flips hat onto head
Weight: 97.5%, 17th lightest
Fallspeed: 0.55, 10th fastest
Airspeed: 85.6%, 7th slowest
Can walljump and wallcling
Can crawl
Special Moves:
Neutral: Peanut Popgun
It's a gun. It shoots peanuts. What else do you need to know? Well, I guess
that the longer you charge, the farther and flatter (trajectory) the peanuts
fly. But don't charge it up too much, or you'll blow your gun up. Even then,
people can grab slow peanuts right out of the air. But hey, sometimes you can
eat the peanuts once they hit something! (They're hard to see.)
Side: Monkey Flip
Diddy jumps forward and latches onto someone's face. He then gives 'em some
guff and jumps off. Since it's a grab attack, it ignores shields. If you press
B again before he grabs, he launches into a kick instead of a grab while he
keeps moving sideways. Can be used as a horizontal recovery somewhat, although
you can't use it twice without landing.
Up: Rocketbarrel Boost
Diddy puts on a barrel backpack and flies skyward. Not too far, and only
straight up. Don't worry, though. If you charge up before releasing, then you
can both choose your launch angle and fly higher! Just watch out for attackers,
they might knock the barrels off you. Good thing the knocked-off barrels have a
chance of flying through the air and nailing 'em.
Down: Banana Peel
Diddy throws a banana peel on the ground. That is all. You can only have 2
peels out at once.
Final Smash: Rocketbarrel Barrage
At first, it's hard to control this high-octane attack. You fly around with
your barrels, shooting explosive peanuts in the direction opposite the way
you're going. At the end, the barrels blow up. Once you learn to control your
flight and shooting at the same time, you've got an attack that's very hard to
avoid. Oh, and you can still eat the peanuts (much more common than usual).

Full Name: Link
Smash Bros. Appearance: Third
Universe: Hyrule
It's good ol' Link. This incarnation is the Hero of Twilight. He beats stuff up
a lot, so he's a good choice for battle. This Triforce-toting tunic guy can
really deal some ouchies with the Master Sword.
Entrance: Appears in a whirlwind. Warp Whistle?
Costumes: Green (default), red, blue, Dark Link
Taunts: Twirls and sheaths his sword; releases a fairy; dumb-looking pose (N64)
Weight: 103.0%, 12th heaviest (Tied with C. Falcon)
Fallspeed: 0.46, 12th fastest
Airspeed: 83.9%, 6th slowest
Special Traits: Link's shield protects him from projectiles if it happens to be
in line when he's standing still or crouching.
Special Moves:
Neutral: Hero's Bow
Link grabs his bow and fires an arrow. It's fast. The longer you hold down the
button, the farther the arrow flies. Pretty simple. If you want, you can hold
the arrow in place forever while you wait for an opening.
Side: Gale Boomerang
It's the 'Rang! Link chucks the item sideways (maybe with some up/down,
depending on your Stick position) and it flies out and back. It does some
damage and also tries to pull opponents with it. Obviously, lighter characters
are more subject to the wind.
Up: Spin Attack
Link spins in a circle and smites anything in range. In the air, you get some
wobble and height, as well as a different hit pattern: instead of one big hit,
it becomes a bunch of small ones with a finisher. It can also be charged
(ground only).
Down: Bomb
Link pulls out a bomb. It's lit, so chuck it. It can be caught and thrown
around, but it will blow up. Don't let it blow up while you're still holding
it. Cause that would stink.
Extended Grab: Clawshot
The ultra-cool Clawshot is used to grasp people and pull them into your face.
It's not just a grab, as it also allows tether recoveries.
Final Smash: Triforce Slash
Link points the Triforce mark on his hand towards the opponent. If there's
anyone in that horizontal line of sight, they're trapped in a Triforce. Link
proceeds to rush over and smack the crap out of them, concluding with a massive
finisher. Almost an instant KO when used towards the edge of the stage. Because
of Link's dash, this can even save you when you're off the stage. Oh yeah, if
there's no one in your line of sight (or they're out of range) when you press
da button, the attack fails. As do you.

Dumb name, I know. Anyway, this is the Link who's the Hero of Winds. His first
heroic escapade involved sailing the 49 seas and saving that darn Zelda. Next
he found fame in the Minish Cap, and then he played around with the Phantom
Hourglass. (Does 4SA count? Didn't think so.) Technically, he's just Young Link
in a different time period. With a bigger head. And a fear of water.
Entrance: Appears in a bomb explosion.
Costumes: Green (default), red, blue, purple, black (Dark Link), green/yellow/
brown (original Zelda colours)
Taunts: Twirls the Wind Waker around; makes random sword slashes; sheaths sword

Special Traits: Like Link, Toon Link's shield can block projectiles while

Special Moves:

By the way, Toon Link is a clone of Link. So he has the same special moves.
Although his arrows travel a lot slower.
Side: Boomerang
TL's 'Rang doesn't have wind power, so it doesn't pull people in on the
backswing.
Up: Spin Attack
Like Young Link from SSBM, using this on the ground hits people a bunch of

You may have noticed I haven't explained TL much. Do I really need to? He's

Despite the series being named after her, Zelda doesn't show up very often.
Usually it's at the end whien Link saves her, or you meet her in the middle
or in disguise before she's captured. She's playable even less often. But by no
means does that imply that she's unplayable!
Entrance: Some magical warp. What did you expect?

Special Moves:

Press B to create a crystal around Zelda. The crystal then breaks and flings
shards around, hurting nearby dudes. This all happens in about a second. Also,
both the crystal and its shards reflect projectiles. Unlike other reflectors,
you can't hold this one in place, so timing is crucial.
Side: Din's Fire
A ball of incindiary magic travels sideways as you hold B. It does no damage
until you let go of the button, at which point it explodes. You can direct it
up or down, but you can't make it go faster or slower. For some reason, this
causes a forced fall once complete. Probably because using it in the air allows
you to fall slower.
Up: Farore's Wind
A teleportation-type recovery move. Zelda vanishes and reappears quite a long
way away in the direction the Control Stick was pointed. The move can't travel
through anything you can't travel through normally. You can damage people if
they're touching you when you activate the move (and when you reappear), but
never use it for that purpose.
Down: Transform
This makes Zelda turn into Sheik. More on that later. The actual transformation
takes about four seconds (or however long it takes for the Wii to load Sheik),
and you can't be hit during the middle (although people can tap you at the
start to cancel it, or charge up a big one for the end and punish you).
Final Smash: Light Arrow
SMITE! Zelda pulls out a bow, aims, and shishkabobs everything in her line of
sight. This is one of the few "pierce" attacks, as in it will pierce your
shield. Speaking of piercing, walls are no obstacle, and the attack's range is
seemingly infinite. Also, when it hits someone, the camera zooms in on them one
at a time for maximum pain humiliation. Note that the attack weakens as it hits
more people.

***SECTION INCOMPLETE***
Full Name: Sheik
Smash Bros. Appearance: Second
Universe: Hyrule
Sheik was an unknown in the story of Ocarina of Time. He was a Sheikiah who
taught Link warp songs, made stereotypical monologues, and vanished in various
ways once his work there was done. Near the end of the game, Sheik was revealed
to not only be female, but to be Zelda in disguise. She was a pretty big fan
favorite after that.
Entrance: Some magical warp.
Costumes: Blue (default), black
Taunts: Makes a silly pose (SSBM); plays with chain; does a one-armed handstand
Weight: 93.5%, 11th lightest (Tied with Zelda)
Fallspeed: 2.21, 2nd fastest
Airspeed: 88.0%, 9th slowest
Can walljump and wallcling
Can crawl
Special Moves:
Neutral: Needle Storm
Press B to load up sum needlez. Press it again to let fly, stinging anyone in
front of you. If you're in the air, the spindles fly down at a 45 degree angle
instead. You can prep five needles at once, and if you save up that many it'll
automatically save the charge for later.
Side: Chain
A metal whip flies sideways. Use the Stick to waggle it around. Let go of B to
reel it in and finish the move. It's useful as an edgeguard because it has
decent priority, but it's not too good otherwise. Can be used as a Tether
Recovery, but since Sheik doesn't need to, it's more of a novelty.
Up: Vanish
Just like Zelda, Sheik's recovery is a teleportaion move. Sheik uses a smoke
bomb and reappears further up (or whatever direction you're pointing). There
are two main differences between the two Up-Bs: Shiek's does more damage at the
start, and it doesn't go as far.
Down: Transform
Turns you back into Zelda. See Zelda's Transform for specifics.
Final Smash: Light Arrow
I'm not really sure why, but Sheik shares the same Final Smash as Zelda.
They're not completely the same though; Sheik KOs people in a different
direction (that is, horizontal). Because of this, Sheik's Light Arrow is
deadlier when there's a clear path to the edge, with the tradeoff being the
lack of ability to avoid walls that may be in the way.

***SECTION INCOMPLETE***
Full Name: Ganondorf Dragmire (don't ask)
Smash Bros. Apperance: Second
Universe: Hyrule
Ganondorf is the self-proclaimed King of Evil. He spends his days wandering
around in eternal punishment, concocting new plans to conquer Hyrule (and
escape said eternal punishment). Also, he can use the Triforce of Power to turn
into a big pig. 'Nuff said? Yeah.
Entrance: Some dark energy portal.
Costumes: Black (default), black/white hair
Taunts: Punches a fist into the other hand; spins around and laughs; shows off
sword
Weight: 105.6%, 6th heaviest
Fallspeed: 0.91, 7th fastest (Tied with Bowser)
Airspeed: 89.7%, 11th slowest
Special Moves:
Neutral: Warlock Punch
G-dorf loads up a big one and nukes those in his face. Kinda like the good ole
Falcon Punch. If your enemy sneaks around behind you, you can turn around
(once) during the early windup. (This makes the punch a little slower and more
powerful.)
Side: Flame Choke
With a quick dash forwards, Ganondorf grabs some poor sap in front of him,
grabs his ear, and injects some dark energy into his skull. This causes the
opponent to lie down directly in front of the Dorf, which could be useful for
combos. If it connects in the air, Ganondorf instead does a kamikaze drop,
thundering downwards with the opponent beneath him. (Risky to try because the
move causes a forced fall anyway.)
Up: Dark Dive
This move sends you upwards in a predictable curve. The first person to get in
the way gets electrocuted and launched away. If the move connects like this,
you get to use it again. If it doesn't, it's just like a regular Up+B. People
that are just too far away to get grabbed instead get a bit of dark damage.
Down: Wizard's Foot
If you're standing on the ground when you use this, Ganondorf is sent straight
forwards with his foot sticking out, causing a decent about of pain. When used
in the air, the trajectory is angled steeply downwards instead.
Final Smash: Beast Ganon
The Triforce of Power comes into play here, turning Ganondorf into the
aforementioned big pig. If anyone is standing nearby when the beast appears,
they get driven into the ground. The sight of Mr. Ugly can even paralyze
people. Ganon then roars sideways off the screen, taking anyone in the way with
him. Ganondorf then reappears standing in the same spot where he started the
move.

Universe: Metroid
Good ol' Samus. Metroid exterminator extrordinaire, Ms. Aran is a powerful
bounty hunter who runs around shooting stuff and collecting powerups identical
to those she lost at the start of the adventure until the planet blows up.
Yeah, that's about it.
Entrance: Uses a Save Station as a warp device.
Costumes: Orange (default), dark blue/red/yellow (Gravity Suit), blue/yellow
(Fusion-esque)
Taunts: Struts cannon around; salutes; makes some purple energy appear
Weight: 105.1%, 7th heaviest
Fallspeed: -0.54, 2nd slowest
Airspeed: 101.7%, 16th fastest
Can walljump
Special Moves:
Neutral: Charge Shot
Press B to initiate the winding up of a big ball of energy (unless you're in
the air, in which case you launch a shot instantly). You can stop charging by
shielding (or firing), and when you charge again you pick up where you left
off. Once fully charged, you stop charging (duh) and Samus's arm cannon starts
blinking. Press B once more to send a ball of punishing power. Your charge is
dumped if you're hit while charging.
Side: Missile
Samus shootz sum missilz. There are actually two kinds of missiles: homing
missiles that fire when you tilt and fast (more powerful) missiles that fire
when you smash.
Up: Screw Attack
The almighty Screw Attack. This move involves you spinning into the air,
trapping nearby opponents and damaging them until the move ends.
Down: Bomb
Samus rolls up and lays a bomb, which then blows up. Bombs don't do much
damage, but can be laid somewhat quickly. Also, Samus doesn't take damage from
her own bombs - instead, she bounces into the air a little. Because your
airspeed slows while laying bombs, laying two bombs when recovering from the
side gives you a good vertical boost.
Extended Grab: Grappling Beam
It's a beam. It grapples stuff (like other people or the edge). Got it?
Final Smash: Zero Laser
Read and remember. The Zero Laser will get whoever's hit into the painhouse
easy. But after the attack, Samus is gone and Zero-Suit Samus is in. As a
directional Final Smash, aim is crucial if you don't want to waste the move.
That being said, you can angle the beam up and down slightly.

No it's not a glitch. No, you didn't just complete a Metroid game with 100%

becomes faster and more agile while losing power and weight. And she has a gun
that doubles as a lightwhip.
Entrance: Just appears from Power Suit. (Hold L/R with GC or Classic, hold Z
with Nunchuk, or hold - with Wiimote to start as ZSS)
Costumes: Light blue (default), dark blue, red, black
Taunts: Spins around and stretches; throws gun up and catches it; flails the
whip around
Weight: 91.4%, 8th lightest
Fallspeed: 0.44, 13th fastest
Airspeed: 107.2%, 13th fastest
Can walljump
Can crawl
Special Moves:
Neutral: Paralyzer
Taser time! This move shoots a projectile that stuns people. It doesn't last
for very long (think of the unfairness!), although you can charge it up to last
longer.
Side: Plasma Whip
This pokes people in front of you. Not much else, really. The tip does the most
damage.
Up: Plasma Wire
This move damages people above you, not much other than that (although it has a
greater range than your up-smash). Also a Tether Recovery (duh). When used on
the ground, the last hit pulls people downwards for some reason.
Down: Flip Jump
This hardly does any damage, but that's besides the point. It's designed to get
you out of a tight spot. Press B during the jump to counterattack.
Extended Grab: Plasma Grapple
I don't know if it's really called that, but whatever.
Final Smash: Power Suit Samus
*@#%! Did they grab random people off the street when they named these moves?!
Idiots. Anyway, this turns you back into Samus. Its range is zippo, but anyone
too close will get a decent amount of airtime (if not a KO).

***SECTION INCOMPLETE***
Full Name: Kirby
Smash Bros. Appearance: Third
Universe: Dreamland
Guess who! It's the pink puffball with punch! The Kirbster's vacuum-like
appetite and versatile copycat abilities make him a handful in the ring. He was
just unfair in the original SSB, and toned way too far down for Melee. Happy
balance this time? We'll see.
Entrance: Comes in riding a Warpstar.
Costumes: Pink (default), red, green, blue, yellow, grayscale
Taunts: Waves and says "Hiiiii!"; does a Kirby dance; does a spinning kick
Weight: 89.9%, 4th lightest
Fallspeed: -0.44, 4th slowest
Airspeed: 88.7%, 10th slowest
Special Traits: Taunting causes Kirby to drop his current power.
Special Moves:
Neutral: Inhale/Copy
Kirby's trademark ability. The puffball will suck in anyone in front of him.
You can hold down the button to continuously suck until you let go or grab
someone. Once there's a dude in yer mouth, you can press A to spit them out (it
does 10% to the dude spit as well as hitting anyone in the way for damage that
depends on the spit dude's weight) or press Down or B to copy their neutral B.
Kirby then dons a hat that indicates whose power he owns. You can then use the
other character's neutral B exactly the same way they would. Just like Wario,
Kirby can also eat items (explosives will hurt a little, but they won't blow
you away).
Side: Hammer
Kirby brings out a hammer and bashes those in his face. Hitting people with the
head does much more damage than the handle, so range is crucial. Oddly, Kirby
decided to make the hammer swing the same way in the air as well (unlike almost
every other Kirby game, where he swung it vertically). The hammer hits twice in
the air.
Up: Final Cutter
This move flings Kirby upwards and slams him downwards, with him holding a
sword which forces others to do the same. As a recovery move, it gets good
vertical but not much horizontal, and Kirby falls very fast once the height of
the jump is reached. When he hits the ground, a small shockwave is sent out
forwards that hugs the ground.
Down: Stone
Kirby turns into a heavy object and slams downwards. It does good damage and
makes Kirby partly invincile while stoned (except for grabs), although you have
to watch for slopes the rock will slide down.
Final Smash: Cook Kirby
If you've played the GBA Kirby games, you know what's gonna happen. First, a
large pot appears. Kirby puts on a chef's hat and pulls out a frying pan and a
pancake flipper. Then the painful part: He claps them together! Well, it
actually sucks everyone too close into the pot. Then Kirby cooks the whole
mixture. Once done, some items pop out, followed by your victims...err, dinner
guests. And they fly pretty high. If any nearby items are sucked into the pot,
you will get more items out of the pot once the move is complete.

Universe: Dreamland
Who is Meta Knight, really? Friend or foe? Does he know of Kirby's past like he
sometimes claims to? There's definately something behind that mask, because he
keeps running away when it falls off. Anyway, Meta Knight is superb at what he
does, and that's swordfighting. And being cool. (Yes, that is his real voice.)
Entrance: He teleports in.
Costumes: Purple (default), pinkish, red, green, white/yellow, Dark Meta Knight
(blue)
Taunts: Spins around in his cape; pokes his sword around; poses wings
Weight: 90.4%, 5th lightest (Tied with Pikachu)
Fallspeed: 0.68, 9th fastest
Airspeed: 80.5%, 5th slowest
Can glide
Special Moves:
Neutral: Mach Tornado
Easy to use and cheap. Simply press B to spin around, damaging whatever's in
the way. While spinning, you can freely control your movement. Because of this,
the move is considered a recovery move, putting you into a forced fall when
it's done. Mash B repeatedly to both rise and keep the move going for longer.
Side: Drill Rush
Anyone standing beside you gets minced in about eight slices. During the move
you can aim up or down. Just be careful, because this counts as a recovery
move: that is, you can't do anything after this move until you land. As a
safety feature, if the move ends in the air, you get pushed backwards a little
(so you don't SD if you fly off the stage).
Up: Shuttle Loop
Yes, you do a loop. Up, around, forwards with a glide at the end. Recovery
move. Short description.
Down: Dimensional Cape
When you use this move, Meta Knight vanishes only to reappear a second later.
Used for teleporting, just aim your direction with the Stick. If you hold the
button while warping, you'll counterattack as soon as you reappear. As with the
rest of MK's special moves, this move causes a forced fall.
Final Smash: Galaxia Darkness
Meta Knight swipes his cape forwards. If you don't hit anyone, the move ends
and you've wasted the Smash Ball. Then people are legally allowed to laugh at
you. But if you do hit someone, the screen goes black and anyone close to you
gets blown away (while the person/people you've caped cannot escape). Not only
that, but everyone else on the screen gets struck with a small hit before the
caped people are injured. Really and all-or-nothing attack.
WARNING!: Meta Knight's teammates will get hit with the small location-
independant hit, regardless of whether Team Attack is on or off.

Smash Bros. Appearance: First
Universe: Dreamland
Dedede is not evil. But he can be...irritating. Really, he once stole every bit
of food in Dreamland! You could imagine what Kirby thought about that. So the
rivalry began. Oh, and Dedede's not really a king, his "subjects" never pay
attention to him. Good on them! (The only reason they follow him is because he
feeds them.)
Entrance: A Waddle Dee troop carries him in.
Costumes: Red/yellow (default), Gameboy scale, purple, icy
Taunts: Spins his hammer; raises his hammer like a torch; dances around
Weight: 107.1%, 4th heaviest
Fallspeed: 0.29, 18th fastest
Airspeed: 71.9%, 1st slowest
Special Moves:
Neutral: Inhale
Dedede sucks up anything in front of him. He can't copy people's powers like
Kirby can, so the thing to do is spit them out for large damage. Like Kirby and
Wario, he can also eat items.
Side: Waddle Dee Toss
Guess what's in Dedede's hammerspace? Well, it's mostly Waddle Dees. Once
thrown (er, tossed) they start wandering around like Mr. Saturns. Sometimes you
pull out a Waddle Doo instead, which starts zapping people. Or even a Gordo,
which obviously hurts a lot more. (The ratio of WDee:WDoo:G is about 35:10:4.)
Like Peach's veggies, you can also pull out items, such as Green Shells. You
can only have two WDs out at once; pulling out a third causes the first to
vanish early. However, you can "re-use" a WD by walking up to him and pressing
A (it doesn't matter if the WD belonged to you to start with).
Up: Super Dedede Jump
BOING! As you may have guessed, it's a monstrous jump. As a recovery move, it
goes straight up (odd for a heavyweight character). Once you stop going up, you
come down. Hard. Think of it like Yoshi's Ground Pound, but with more damage
(and lag). If you don't want to slam, you can tap down to abort the move - but
try to abort too late, and you'll just make it worse (the lag, that is). A
unique move in that, unless you abort it, you cannot grab the edge while doing
it. Also, you can't control your aerial movement: you can choose at the start
of the move whether to aim straight up or fly sideways a little, but not
anytime after that.
Down: Jet Hammer
...okay. A jet engine appears out of Dedede's hammer, which starts charging up.
You can walk around and jump while charging, but you can't save the charge - it
must be unleashed right away. It obviously does tons of damage, but if you
charge it too much, it also does some self-damage (about 1% a second) until you
release it. (Note that, like bubble damage, you don't take the 1%-per-second
damage if you're already at or over 150%.)
Final Smash: Waddle Dee Army
Dedede always likes getting others to do the work for him. In this case, it
involves copious amounts of Waddle Dees getting sent into the battle (and a few
Waddle Doos and Gordos). The Waddle Dees can move pretty fast, pushing you off
the edge if you're not careful. Dedede himself is immovable and invincible
during all this (except for the dance).

Mr. McCloud is the leader of the good ol' Star Fox team, a group of ragtag yet
impressive space fighters who like peace and kicking bad guy butt. Fox is well
known for his speed, which you've seen firsthand if you've been to any serious
SSBM tourney.
Entrance: He drops out of an Arwing.
Costumes: White/green (default), black/white
Taunts: Makes fire; makes gesture and says "Come on!"; tosses gun and catches
it
Weight: 91.0%, 7th lightest
Fallspeed: 3.41, 1st fastest
Airspeed: 92.5%, 12th slowest (Tied with Falco, Pit, and R.O.B.)
Can walljump
Special Moves:
Neutral: Blaster
Fox starts shootin' his blaster at people for no reason. The shots have no stun
at all: they won't stop people attaking, running, and won't even affect their
stance. Because of this, it won't give back people's recovery move, so it's
great for stealing KOs or increasing the damage of a shieldstunned or sleeping
opponent.
Side: Fox Illusion
Fox jets forwards a good distance (watch for the edge), damaging stuff in the
way. Can be used for recovery, but it can't be aimed (plus it initiates a
forced fall). You can pull the emercengy brake by quickly pressing B a second
time, but the move happens so fast it's nigh-impossible.
Up: Firefox
With a fiery charge that can slightly scald those around him, Fox launches
himself through the air in whichever direction you choose. It's slow, but does
some good damage and distance.
Down: Reflector
If you hear someone say "the shine", this is what they're going on about. This
move is supposed to be used as a projectile reflector: just keep it on and
you're safe from distanced attacks. But a lot of people use it to attack: it
starts almost instantly, it always knocks people down, and you can use it in
the air to slow your descent and knock people downwards (shinespike).
Final Smash: Landmaster Tank
Fox leaps off the top of the screen. Well that's the end of-OHH SNAP. Yeah, he
comes back down with a stinkin' huge tank. Said tank can fly, do a barrel roll
(by crouching; this knocks off dudes standing on top of it), and of course it
can shoot. That is, shoot others. With a big blue lazor. Or it can just run you
over. The one problem with the tank is its true size: despite all physics, it
can fall down a Fox-sized hole.

Falco is teh-best wingman on the Star Fox team. Sure, his past is kinda crummy,
but if you need an aerial attack, he's your guy. Just watch his ego. It's big.
Like, Texas-big.
Entrance: An Arwing.
Costumes: White/brown (default)
Taunts: Plays hacky-sack with his Reflector; stands on one leg; spins around

Weight: 91.9%, 9th lightest (Tied with Olimar)
Fallspeed: 1.23, 4th fastest
Airspeed: 92.5%, 12th slowest (Tied with Fox, Pit, and R.O.B.)
Can walljump
Special Moves:
Neutral: Blaster
Although Falco's been Luigified somewhat, he's still a clone of Fox. So his
special moves are the same. The difference with this one is that his blaster
actually makes people flinch (and it shoots slower).
Side: Falco Phantasm
It sounds nasty, but it's really just the same as Fox's (although it hits
aerial people downwards).
Up: Firebird
Since Falco's single and double jump have incredible height on them, his triple
jump gets its range gimped somewhat. It does more damage than Fox's.
Down: Reflector
The real difference between the space animals is that Falco throws his
Reflector like a boomerang, instead of holding it and shielding himself. This
means you can't hold it in place but it also increases its range. Not a bad
idea to attack with it. Although he throws the thing, this move isn't actually
a projectile - just a long-distance physical attack.
Final Smash: Landmaster
In a complete and utter case of dropping the ball, Nintendo didn't even try to
differentiate F&F through their Final Smashes. Okay, so Falco's tank does
better in the air and is more sluggish on the ground, but nobody really cares.

Special Moves:
Neutral: Blaster
Guess what? Wolf is a clone of Fox! (agnry faic) His blaster is more like
Falco's, though. It also can't rapid-fire, and it has a claw on the actual gun
casing that damages people close enough (so they get stabbed and then shot). In
any case, the shots do less damage the farther they travel.
Side: Wolf Flash
Picture the Fox Illusion, just angled slightly upwards. The end has a Meteor
Smash on it.
Up: Fire Wolf
Somebody tell me why this is even called the "Fire Wolf" when there's no fire
involved. It's air-based.
Down: Reflector
What do you think this does? At least you're invincible during the startup.
Final Smash: Landmaster
*sigh* Nintendo may be an intelligent company, but sometimes they demonstrate
absolute stupidity. Yes, this move packs more punch and lasts for less time
than Fox's, but really. Wolf has nothing to do with Landmasters! He hates all
that is Star Fox, yet for his most powerful attack he jumps in a pallete swap
of one of their land vehicles? Sheer idiocy.

It's the mascot of the Pokemon series, Pikachu! Introduced in Generation I as
the 25th pocket monster, the fans chose Pikachu as their favorite, giving him
the power to represent the other 500 or so creatures. The yellow mouse is an
Electric-type and is quite fast.
Entrance: Comes out of a Pokeball.
Costumes: None (default), red hat, green bandana, blue goggles
Taunts: Waves at the camera and says "Pika pika!"; rolls around; generates some
electricity
Weight: 90.4%, 5th lightest (Tied with Meta Knight)
Fallspeed: 0.40, 14th fastest
Airspeed: 93.8%, 16th slowest (Tied with Peach)
Can walljump
Can crawl
Special Moves:
Neutral: Thunder Jolt
Pikachu lets a ball of lightning drop. It travels at a 45 degree angle when in
the air. When it hits the ground (or Pikachu starts on the ground), it becomes
a Slinky of electricity that follows the stage for a good distance.
Side: Skull Bash
Once you let go of B, Pikachu will rocket sideways, causing damage to the first
thing he hits. The longer you hold B, the farther he flies and the more damage
you deal. Also, once charged all the way, he releases instantly.
Up: Quick Attack
Pikachu flings himself in the direction you're pointing, doing slight damage to
those he passes through. If you redirect the Control Stick just after the first
leap, you can fling yourself a second time (if the difference in direction is
significant enough, as in 38 degrees). It's very useful as a recovery because
of its good distance and its great controlability.
Down: Thunder
A bolt of lightning strikes from the sky, hitting Pikachu. Pikachu is
unaffected, but everyone in the bolt's way is zapped, as well as anyone too
close to Pikachu when it hits. The most important thing to note about this move
is that the lightning cannot travel through platforms, so if Pikachu's under a
roof, it won't get to him.
Final Smash: Volt Tackle
I hope the name sounds painful, Pikachu's been practicing this painball since
Pichuhood. The Pokemon creates a sphere of electric energy around him, zapping
anything in range a whole lot. The range is small, but that's okay because
Pikachu can move around to chase down chickens. You can also press A for a
shockwave. Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to control your path (you can
even go though the stage somewhat, so be careful!).

Full Name: Jigglypuff (Purin in Japan)
Smash Bros. Appearance: Third
Universe: Pokemon
Jigglypuff is a balloon Pokemon, able to put things to sleep simply by signing.
In fact, her trademark in the TV show was to draw all over people's faces when
they dozed off. For some reason, she was hated in SSB64 and SSBM and people
wanted her out. Tough luck for them.
Entrance: A Pokeball.
Costumes: None (default), summer hat, pink/white Trainer hat, red flower
Taunts: Wobbles and says its name; spins around quickly; deflates temporarily
Weight: 84.9%, 2nd lightest
Fallspeed: -0.78, 1st slowest
Airspeed: 132.5%, 2nd fastest
Special Traits: If Jigglypuff's shield breaks, it launches her off the top of
the screen. I'm not really sure why.
Special Moves:
Neutral: Rollout
In the Pokemon games, Rollout is a Rock-type move that is used repeatedly for
double damage each hit. Here, it's a simple charge-and-let-fly attack. If not
charged, you do about 0% damage. When fully charged, it does a bunch (that is,
if you don't fly off the edge).
Side: Pound
A simple punch that does some pretty good damage. Short range, but can be used
in the air repeatedly for massive horizontal movement (and therefore recovery).
Up: Sing
This move causes anyone in Jigglypuff's range to fall asleep. (As always, you
can't sleep if you're in the air.) They can wake up instantly if they're at 0%
damage, but at KO'ing percents they doze off long enough to get a good smack
on them. Not to be used as a recovery move in any way.
Down: Rest
Here, Jigglypuff falls asleep. Anyone touching her (that is, their character
model and Jigglypuff's are overlapping) gets blown away and a flower placed on
their head. It's not as good a KO'er as it's been in the last two games, but
it's still pretty deadly if used right. Note that Jigglypuff sleeps for five
seconds regardless if the attack actually hits anyone.
Final Smash: Puff Up (aka Gigalypuff)
Jigglypuff starts inflating...and inflating...and inflating some more.
Eventually, once she's grown to over ten times her original size, she yells out
her name and shrinks again. What's the point of this? Well, you're untouchable
during the move, and it easily pushes people off the stage. Plus, when she
yells her name, people that are overlapping her get shoved away pretty hard
with some good damage.
WARNING!: This Final Smash will hurt and KO teammates, regardless of whether
Team Attack is on or off.
GLITCH!: If Jigglypuff is in her large form and the Bridge of Eldin re-appears
with her inside it, she'll remain large until KO'd.

***SECTION INCOMPLETE***
Full Name: Red (Yes, they named Trainers after games back then. Dumbos.)
Smash Bros. Appearance: First
Universe: Pokemon
He's just a Pokemon Trainer. As a Trainer, he doesn't do the fighting himself.
Instead, he leads a bunch of thugs who do the work for him. Every time one of
his fighters is KO'd, he swaps in a new one. He can also swap on the fly. But
that's enough about him, he was just a way to fit three new Pokes into the
roster while taking up only 1 spot.
Entrance: He just appears. On some stages (or some areas of stages), he doesn't
appear.
Costumes: Red (default)
Taunts: He doesn't taunt.
Special Moves:
Down: Pokemon Change
None of the Pokemon on this team have a Down-B, and here's why. This move swaps
which Pokemon you're using in a set order: Squirtle -> Ivysaur -> Charizard.
Using a Pokemon for two minutes will tire it out, making it move slower. That's
the time to switch. This can also happen if you swap too frequently. (You know
when to swap when your standing animation changes to a more exhausted pose.)
Lastly, this move is automatically used when you're KO'd; so if Charizard is
KO'd, you switch to Squirtle instantly.
Final Smash: Triple Finish
No matter which Pokemon you have out, you get the same Final Smash. First, all
three Pokemon come out. Then, Squirtle uses Hydro Pump, Ivysaur uses Solarbeam,
and Charizard uses Fire Blast - all at the same time! Basically, Solarbeam is a
trapping long-range beam attack. Hydro Pump sprays water around somewhat
randomly, hitting people who are close to the source. Fire Blast shoots pulses
of fire at regular intervals. It aims a little high, so enemies doubled up in
Solarbeam pain may be spared. The whole attack only lasts about five seconds.

***SECTION INCOMPLETE***
Full Name: Squirtle (Zenigame in Japan)
Smash Bros. Appearance: First
Universe: Pokemon
As the first Water-type starter, Squirtle has a pretty good following. He's the
lightest and smallest of PT's Pokemon, so use him when you need to get
somewhere fast.
Entrance: A Pokeball.
Costumes: None (default)
Taunts: Balances on tail and spins around; spins around in shell; does a flip
Weight: 88.4%, 3rd lightest
Fallspeed: 1.05, 5th fastest
Airspeed: 112.0%, 10th fastest
Can walljump and wallcling
Can crawl
Special Moves:
Neutral: Water Gun
This move allows you to charge up and shoot a pulse of water. Shooting larger
pulses can push you back a bit (especially in the air). Unfortunately, just
like Mario's FLUDD, it does no damage. However, there's a little trick to this
move - tapping B twice lets loose an uncharged shot that actually does some
damage like Kirby's standing punch flurry.
Side: Withdraw
No, it's not a defensive move. The name refers to Squirtle hiding in his shell,
but only so he can propel himself sideways. A somewhat difficult move to
control, so avoid using it on smaller stages until you get the hang of it.
Squirtle is actually invincible during this move, behaving like a thrown Green
Shell. This includes stopping when jumped on - Squirtle gets stunned for a
moment when someone lands on him during this move.
Up: Waterfall
Squirtle rides a wave upwards. Really not much to it. It's kind of like Mario's
recovery move, actually. Can usually save you (when used with your double jump)
if your Withdraw flies off the edge.

***SECTION INCOMPLETE***
Full Name: Ivysaur (Fusigishu in Japan)
Smash Bros. Appearance: First
Universe: Pokemon
Ivysaur evolves from Bulbasaur, the original Grass-type starter. He's one of
the few quadrupeds in Smash Bros., so that says something for unorthodoxy. He
can also jump reasonably well for a down-to-earth kinda guy. He uses his vines
in funny ways to use items and stuff.
Entrance: A Pokeball.
Costumes: None (default)
Taunts: Flaps his leaves around; dances on front legs; flings vines around
Weight: 101.0%, 15th heaviest (Tied with Lucario)
Fallspeed: -0.16, 11th slowest (Tied with Toon Link)
Airspeed: 79.5%, 3rd slowest (Tied with Ice Climbers)
Can crawl
Special Moves:
Neutral: Bullet Seed
This move is very situational. Ivysaur starts rapid-firing seeds straight up.
You can really only hit people above you. It's very good for juggling people
above you because it shoots very fast and has no knockback.
Side: Razor Leaf
Ivysaur shoots a leaf sideways. Not terribly useful, although it doesn't stop
when it hits someone. Can be aimed up and down somewhat.
Up: Vine Whip
Doesn't do much damage. Its main application is a Tether Recovery: if you're
below the stage, use this and you'll grapple the edge. Strange how a Grass-type
is good at attaking above himself...
Extended Grab: Wrap
Because Ivysaur's Up-B is a Tether Recovery, you can't use his grab as one.
Still, it is an extended grab with a similar animation.

Full Name: Charizard (Lizardon in Japan)
Smash Bros. Appearance: First...somewhat. (He's been a Pokeball Pokemon in the
past two games, but not playable.)
Universe: Pokemon
Charizard is the final form of Charmander, Generation I's Fire-type starter.
He's big and beefy while being surprisingly agile in the air - being a Flying-
type helps, I guess. He's your go-to guy for KOs.
Entrance: A Pokeball.
Costumes: None (default)
Taunts: Stomps at the camera; roars at the camera; stomps twice (at the camera)
Weight: 106.1%, 5th heaviest
Fallspeed: 0.33, 15th fastest (Tied with Sonic)
Airspeed: 105.1%, 14th fastest
Can glide
Special Moves:
Neutral: Flamethrower
This is an obvious one. Just hold the button to spew flames forwards. You'll
run out of juice, but it's a good edgeguarding tool. Like Bowser, you can aim
the flames up and down.
Side: Rock Smash
This is an interesting one. Charizard takes a rock from the ground. He
headbutts it. It blows up. The rock fragments have like 0 range but some pretty
good power. Absolutely destroys bosses, since they won't get knocked away and
will take the whole attack.
Up: Fly
Charizard winds up and rockets upwards, burning stuff in the way. Decent power,
not too good horizontal movement. Surprisingly shallow vertically.

***SECTION INCOMPLETE***
Full Name: Lucario
Smash Bros. Appearance: First
Universe: Pokemon
Lucario is a highly popular Fighting/Steel-type Pokemon from Generation IV.
Despite not being a Psychic-type, he can sense people's "auras" and track them
and stuff. For a non-lengendary, he has pretty darn good stats. In Brawl, he's
a close-combat fighter with a large range.
Entrance: A...teleportation?
Costume: None (default)
Taunts: Sticks his chest out; sticks a palm out; does that karate pose
Weight: 101.0%, 15th heaviest (Tied with Ivysaur)
Fallspeed: -0.40, 5th slowest
Airspeed: 101.0%, 17th fastest
Can walljump and wallcling
Can crawl
Special Traits: As Lucario takes more damage, his Aura-based attacks (that is,
most of them) do more damage. A real risk-reward mentality. To a lesser extent,
Lucario's current place in the match also affects his power.
Special Moves:
Neutral: Aura Sphere
Press B to wind up. Press B again to fire. Dodge while charging to save it for
later. Once fired, the ball will move forwards until it hits something or runs
out of energy. The more you've charged it up, the straighter it travels: an
uncharged shot will wobble a lot, while a full charge will be perfectly linear.
People that are too close to the sphere when it's charging will pick up a
little damage. Just like the rest of Lucario's moves, its damage goes up as
Lucario's does - and its size also grows.
Side: Force Palm
Causes Lucario to stop dead (if running) and grab people in front of him.
(There's a dual range, outside the grab range it simply does damage.) Then you
can push the grabbed person away. The non-grab range is pretty large.
Up: Extremespeed
Built as a recovery move. This launches you in your specified direction, and if
you want, you can put a little curve on the end of the dash. Does like no
damage. Lucario will wallcling automatically if you run into a wall while
zooming.
Down: Double Team
Doesn't appear to do anything to start with, but if you're attacked during the
pose, you'll teleport behind them and do a dashing strike. Dangerous to use
near the edge if you'll wind up doing the dash off the edge.
Final Smash: Aura Storm
Lucario flies into the center of the screen in a high spot and fires a beam.
Use the Control Stick to aim it around. It does damage constantly with a nice
big hit at the end. As with most Final Smashes, you can't be hit during it. Not
very useful when Lucario's at a low percentage, but it can really cause some
airtime at the other end of the spectrum.

Full Name: Captain Douglas Jay Falcon
Smash Bros. Appearance: Third
Universe: F-Zero
Falcon is the most popular racer on the F-Zero circuit. Picture him as a richer
Han Solo: fast ride, "manly man", rather large ego. He also dabbles in bounty
hunting from time to time.
Entrance: Rides the Blue Falcon in.
Costumes: Blue/orange (default)
Taunts: Tenses up; makes gesture and says "C'mon!"; salutes and says "Show me
ya moves!"
Weight: 103.0%, 12th heaviest (Tied with Link)
Fallspeed: 0.92, 6th fastest
Airspeed: 124.3%, 4th fastest (Tied with Wolf)
Can walljump
Special Moves:
Neutral: Falcon Punch
Anyone who's played Smash Bros. knows this one: a massive flaming punch with a
long windup time and large KOing power. If someone dodges behind you, you get
one chance to turn around during the windup and nail any backstabbers (this
takes a smidge longer and does even more damage).
Side: Raptor Boost
Falcon dashes forwards and gives an uppercut to anything he meets. Can be used
as a combo starter. If used in the air, Falcon punches people downwards instead
and enters a forced fall.
Up: Falcon Dive
Falcon jumps upwards in an arc, and anyone in his way gets grabbed and blasted
away. If you connect with this move, you can use it repeatedly. Once you miss,
it's a forced fall for you.
Down: Falcon Kick
Not as popular on the Internet as the FLACONE PAWUNCH, but still up there. This
causes Falcon to shoot forwards burning anything in the way. If used in the
air, he shoots at a sharp downwards angle (good for juggle killing).
Final Smash: Blue Falcon
I tend to hate this move since it actually initiates a cutscene. Falcon calls
in his racecar to run someone over (assuming they're at a decent spot in front
of you). Everyone run over gets dropped on a racetrack and run over again, and
then they're teleported back to the battlefield and knocked away.

***SECTION INCOMPLETE***
Full Name: Ness...uh, no last name, maybe.
Smash Bros. Appearence: Third
Universe: Mother (Earthbound)
The main character in Mother 2 (Earthbound for those in non-Japanland), Ness is
a psychic kid who fights dudes with mental powers and baseball bats. (This is
in opposition to most other RPGs of the time, which all took place in fantasy
lands.) He was the "what the heck?!" character in SSB64, became a starter in
SSBM, and is back to unlockable in Brawl.
Entrance: Runs in through a portal, then shakes the soot off.
Costumes: Red/purple/yellow (default), purple/black
Taunts: Nods and says "Okay!"; points his bat; makes a light show
Weight: 98.0%, 18th lightest (Tied with Lucas and Pit)
Fallspeed: -0.12, 13th slowest
Airspeed: 100.0%, 18th fastest (Tied with Mario)
Special Moves:
Neutral: PK Flash
Simply hold down the button for a green flash to rise out of your head. Then,
you can either release the button to let it loose or wait until it times out.
When the particle asplodes, anyone in range will be hit for damage. The more
it's charged, the more pain it deals (up to a likely KO). Because it can be
directed side-to-side somewhat well, it's a dangerous edgeguarding tool. Note
that halfway through the full charge, the flash starts to drop (at full charge
it lands at your feet). It may die if you try to make it go downwards through a
platform, and it will die if you get hit while charging.
Side: PK Fire
This move jets an ember straight forwards. It blows up when it hits someone and
then drops a flame pillar on the ground, causing extra damage. When used in the
air, the spark goes at a downwards 45 degree angle instead.
Up: PK Thunder
Once you use this move, you control switches to moving a spark of ball
lightning around the screen. Ness is vulnerable while you aim the attack. You
can hit people to cause some damage, but the move's true strength (and where it
shows up as a triple jump) is ramming yourself. That's right, when you hit
Ness in the butt (or whatever), he flies in that direction doing massive
damage. It's hard to attack a missile, so it's a good anti-edgeguard. Too bad
you need a lot of room to maneuver it: if it hits something or someone, that's
it.
Down: PSI Magnet
Ness creates an energy shield. Any energy-based attacks (electric projectiles,
fire breath, etc) that hit the shield will be turned into health. The shield
can be held in place forever. When the shield is turned off, anyone nearby will
get pushed away.
Final Smash: PK Starstorm
Ness causes rain to start falling. Unfourtunately for everyone else, the rain
is made of huge meteors that plunge from top to bottom, nuking anything in the
way. Although the move has infinite vertical range, it gets very spread out on
larger stages (making it easy to dodge). Also, each star fans out a little from
the center of the screen towards the outsides (as in, they're not perfectly
vertical).

Not much is known about Lucas over here in the...well, anywhere that's not
Japan, really. Anyway, Lucas is Mother 3's protagonist. He's a kid with psychic
powers. And he's a clone of Ness (although Ness cloned his Final Smash).
Entrance: He...rides on a Mr. Saturn tea table? WTH?
Costumes: Yellow/red (default)
Taunts: Slips and falls on his butt; plays with his Rope Snake; plays with some
PSI power
Weight: 98.0%, 18th lightest (Tied with Ness and Pit)
Fallspeed: 0.49, 11th fastest
Airspeed: 113.0%, 8th fastest (Tied with Bowser)
Special Moves:
Neutral: PK Freeze
It's kind of like Ness' PK Flash: you hold down B to increase damage and it can
be directed (PK Freeze is actually more directable). The difference is that PK
Freeze...freezes people. Like, in ice. A very good edgeguarder.
Side: PK Fire
This move jets an ember straight forwards. It blows up when it hits someone.
Unlike Ness, Lucas shoots the spark straight both on the ground and in the air,
and he doesn't make a column of fire when it hits something. It also pushes him
back a little.
Up: PK Thunder
Basically the same as Ness', but Lucas can direct the thunder in a tighter arc.
As a tradeoff, instead of dealing the big hit when he missiles into someone, he
deals a bunch of smaller hits. Also, Lucas's PK Thunder passes through
opponents.
Down: PSI Magnet
Lucas can't shield himself from behind, but he heals more damage. Not only
that, but when he turns it off (lets go of the button), it actually deals some
damage to those who are too close!
Extended Grab: Rope Snake
In Mother 3, the Rope Snake was used to grab people. Well I think that's
description enough, except for the whole Tether Recovery thing (which should be
obvious). Seems to be the shortest of all Tether Recoveries.
Final Smash: PK Starstorm
Lucas' meteors fall straight downwards. Also, they're yellow instead of blue.

These twin hikers spend their days climbing Icicle Mountain and similar summits
to gather vegetables that condors drop from the sky. Uhhh, yeah. It's a funny
story. Anyway, Popo (in the blue) and Nana (pink) appeared in SSBM and got
quite the fanbase. The first rumour about Brawl was that they were dropped.
Death to the nonbelievers!
Entrance: A condor carries them in.
Costumes: Blue/pink (default)
Taunts: Dance around; hammer swing and saying "Youp!"; leaping up and down
Weight: 97.0%, 15th lightest (Tied with Toon Link) (Note: weight of 1 Climber)
Fallspeed: 0.07, 18th slowest
Airspeed: 79.5%, 3rd slowest (Tied with Ivysaur)
Special Traits: When the Climbers are together, the trailer's actions are about
a tenth of a second behind those of the leader. If they are seperated, then the
trailer fights alone and tries to get back to the leader. If the leader is
KO'd, so is the trailer. If the trailer is KO'd, the leader must fight alone
until KO'd. KO'ing the trailer does not affect scores or stocks. The trailer
has a seperate damage percentage which is not displayed. Also, both Climbers
can grab onto the same edge at once. And finally: the Ice Climbers do not lose
traction from walking on ice.
Special Moves:
Neutral: Ice Shot
Two (or one) small chunks of ice are sent forwards. They don't do super damage
and don't last very long, and they're highly grounded. That being said, they
can move pretty fast, and they can pick up tons of speed (and distance) while
travelling down slopes. Small chance of freezing people, although it really
doesn't last for long. They also shrink as they travel, doing less damage over
more distance.
Side: Squall Hammer
Your standard helicopter-type move. Press B rapidly during the spinning to rise
for a decent horizontal recovery. If your partner gets KO'd, this is really
your only recovery move. Damage isn't too great.
Up: Belay
Popo throws Nana, who flies upwards. Popo then goes flying because of the
bungee cord. Does no damage (unless the throwing of Nana causes a collision)
and fails unless both Climbers are around. In SSBM, it was the best up-B in the
game. Not so much here; the leader doesn't get flung up as far (I guess Popo's
been putting on weight). That being said, if you're facing the edge and are
within a certain distance, the move will work as a Tether Recovery instead,
causing first the trailer and then the leader to grab the edge.
Down: Blizzard
A basic ice breath move. On the ground with both Climbers, the frosty air is
shot in both directions. In the air, both Climbers breathe in the same
direction for double punch. Can freeze people and does a good amount of damage.
It's good for blocking rushing attackers and escaping.
Final Smash: Iceberg
This moves makes a huge iceberg appear in the middle of the stage. Anyone
that's even too close to the frozen chunk will take continuous damage and may
get frozen. Even then, the rest of the stage is rendered slippery. You can
attack and break the iceberg, but it's a losing cause really. Be warned that
you can't stand on the iceberg, so if the side of the stage you end up on
doesn't have any uncovered platforms, there is a chance of death.

Back in the SSBM days, Marth was some nobody who came in for no reason. In
non-Japanland, anyway. The Fire Emblem series only existed in Japan at that
time, and Marth was put in SSBM to test the waters for other countries. The
test was successful, and Marth is rewarded by returning for Brawl.
Entrance: Uses some warp magic.
Costumes: Blue (default)
Taunts: Sticks sword straight up; twirls sword and says stuff; swings sword and
sheaths it
Weight: 94.4%, 13th lightest
Fallspeed: -0.25, 10th slowest
Airspeed: 111.0%, 11th fastest (Tied with Mr. G&W)
Special Traits: The tip of Marth's sword does the most damage in any case. You
can tell when you've scored a tipper by the extra freeze frames and a deeper
hit sound.
Special Moves:
Neutral: Shield Breaker
Hold B to charge, let go to unleash a massive poke. Yes, it can break a shield
when fully charged.
Side: Dancing Blade
A little complicated. Press Side+B once to swing the sword. Press B again with
good timing to swing it again. You can chain together 4 hits like this, and you
can make different swings by holding up, down, or sideways before each hit.
Up: Dolphin Slash
A fast sword slash upwards. Nothing much to it, but you can turn around during
the windup (even though it's very short).
Down: Counter
Marth gets into a defensive stance. People that hit him will do no damage and
get hit back with power equal to 1.1 times the original attack (with at least
8% damage).
Final Smash: Critical Hit
Marth does a pose with his sword and then jets forwards to KO people that are
in his line of sight. It's pretty much a OHKO (60% damage) unless the stage
gets in the way. Unlike similar Final Smashes (such as Zelda's), people are not
frozen in the incoming attack: people can easily move to get out of the way
once the attack's started. Because of this, you may want to avoid doing this
move in the air: although Marth will stop if he doesn't hit someone when he
gets to an edge on the ground, when in the air he'll charge forwards for about
two-thirds of New Pork City's length (again, if he doesn't hit anything). This
also applies to a stage like Bridge of Eldin where there aren't (usually) any
edges for Marth to stop at. Luckily, there is one more trick in this move:
press B to stop where you are and unleash the hit without needing to hit
something.

Full Name: Ike...argh.
Smash Bros. Appearance: First
Universe: Fire Emblem
Suceeding in sticking the then-unknown Marth and Roy in SSBM told Nintendo that
Fire Emblem could be released in non-Japanland. Ike benefits from that
decision. Like Marth and Roy, he fights with his hugistic sword (gold-
coloured!) and some fire attacks. He also has blue hair. Sheesh...
Entrance: Some warp magic.
Costumes: Blue/brown (default)
Taunts: Plants his sword and crosses his arms; swings sword and grunts; swings
sword and says stuff
Weight: 103.5%, 11th heaviest
Fallspeed: 0.28, 19th fastest
Airspeed: 96.9%, 18th slowest (tied with Toon Link)
Special Moves:
Neutral: Eruption
Pretty simple. Hold B to charge and when the time's right, release a wave of
fire along the ground. Like most of Ike's moves, it does plenty of damage and
knockback. Once fully charged, it releases right away (plus it does some self-
damage).
Side: Quick Draw
Charge this one and you'll shoot sideways (distance depends on charge). Once
fully charged, you'll hear a noise and can wait as long as you want before
releasing it. Anything else? Not really.
Up: Aether
First, Ike throws his sword upwards. Yes, he throws it. Straight up. To prevent
complications, he has infinite knockback resistance while the sword's in the
air. Then, he leaps up, catches the sword, and dives downwards with it
extended. As a recovery move, it goes straight up only - use Quick Draw if you
need any kind of horizontal distance. As an attack, it's fast and can hit
people a good distance above you.
Down: Counter
This puts Ike in a defensive posture, and if anyone hits you at that time, they
take damage instead (assuming your sword hits them). The damage done is 1.2
times the power of the attack countered (with a minimum of 10%).
Final Smash: Great Aether
Could we get some decent move-namers over here? Kthnx. Anyway, this Final Smash
is like a combination of Meta Knight's and Link's. Like Meta Knight, Ike must
hit someone with the initial slash in order for the attack to work at all. Like
Link, whoever's hit gets combo'd and dealt a finisher. The difference is all
this takes place in the air, while the finisher is a fiery slam into the ground
that can hurt anyone who's too close. If you're really unlucky, your opponent
may get caught on a platform in front of you as you plummet for the finisher.
If you're very lucky, however, the opposite can happen.

Like the Ice Climbers, G&W was thought to be cut from Brawl. Proved wrong they
were. The 2D man is back and wonkier than ever. His frame-by-frame movement and
beeping soundset is distinctive, and his moves all take after his over 40
games.
Entrance: Just walks in from the background. Hard to describe.
Costumes: Black (default), dark blue, ice blue, green
Taunts: Rings his bell; leans back and rings bell; jumps up
Weight: 84.4%, 1st lightest
Fallspeed: 0.01, 17th slowest
Airspeed: 111.0%, 11th fastest (Tied with Marth)
Special Moves:
Neutral: Chef
G&W takes a frying pan and flings sausages 'n' other stuff at people. They
don't do too much damage. However, people that are too close will take fire
damage from the frying pan.
Side: Judge
This move is full of randomness. G&W hits people with a hammer (bad range,
unfortunately) and what happens is determined by the number above his head:
1: 2% damage, doesn't even cause flinching, does selfdamage
2: 4% damage, nothing special
3: 6% damage, beam sound that ignores defenses
4: 8% damage, sword effect
5: 4% damage 3 times, electric effect
6: 12% damage, fire effect
7: 14% damage, causes one piece of Food to appear if you hit (if items are on)
8: 9% damage, ice effect
9: 32% damage and instant KO (usually)
Up: Fire
Causes a trampoline crew to appear, launching G&W into the air. He then unfolds
a parachute. G&W can damage people if he flies up through them. Once your
parachute is deployed, you can tap down to fold it back up. You can't open it
again, but you don't enter a forced fall: you are free to use air attacks other
than your Up+B until you land.
Down: Oil Panic
Hold down B to hold out a bucket. G&W can catch projectiles in the bucket. Once
you've caught three, use the move again to dump the contents on people. The
damage of the attack depends on the projectiles: its power is equal to the
power of each projectile added together and then multiplied by 2.8. (This can
equal an instant KO.) You can turn around while holding the bucket out, but be
aware that projectiles that are too strong may not be caught.
Final Smash: Octopus
G&W turns into a large squid, hovering over the stage doing damage. It's hard
to tell, but you can fall off the stage (you can still double jump). Press A or
B to extend your tentacles, stabbing people that are ducking.

Fallspeed: 0.00, 15th slowest (Tied with Mario)
Airspeed: 92.5%, 12th slowest (Tied with Fox, Falco, and R.O.B.)
Can glide
Special Moves:
Neutral: Palutena Arrow
ZING! This is one projectile that can easily be used over and over again. Let
go of B (because you hold it to charge) to let fly with a blue streak. While
you're charging, you can aim your initial shot up or sideways. After you
release, you can then control the arrow's curvature.
Side: Angel Ring
Once activated, mash B to continue holding out this spinning sword attack. It
does continuous damage and reflects projectiles, but can't be held in place
forever. That being said, it can easily trap opponents.
Up: Wings of Icarus
An interesting recovery move. Once you press the button, you can move around
freely. It's that easy, simple and all that other stuff. Note that, unlike
other Up-Bs, Pit can't use it again after he's hit until he lands. That's how
good it is.
Down: Mirror Shield
Hold down B to keep a projectile-reflecting shield in place. Just watch your
back, it's not protected.
Final Smash: Palutena Army
Pit calls upon a gaggle of Centurions to attack his opponents. Each soldier can
dish out one hit, and they come from all directions. Although the group as a
whole can be dodged fairly easily, Pit is not fixed in one pose: you can freely
move around and attack (and grab, hint hint).

HH++++HH HH
***SECTION INCOMPLETE***
Full Name: Captain Olimar (and his Pikmin)
Smash Bros. Appearance: First
Universe: Pikmin
Yepper, Olimar's in Smash Bros. Because he's a little incompetent at fighting
(plus he breathes methane), he brings Pikmin into the ring with him. Without
the little plant guys following him, he's near helpless. Because of this, he
has one of the most unique fighting styles.
Entrance: Drops in from rocket, then automatically plucks 3 Pikmin.
Costumes: Tan (default), red, light blue, yellow
Taunts: Leaps up and down; rolls head on ground; spins head around
Weight: 91.9%, 9th lightest (Tied with Falco)
Fallspeed: -0.47, 3rd slowest
Airspeed: 87.3%, 8th slowest
Special Traits: Without Pikmin, you can't do most of your moves. Even then,
there are different types of Pikmin and stuff like that. Red Pikmin have higher
attack power than most, and they can't be hurt by fire (plus they can hurt
people with fire). Yellow Pikmin have a longer attack range and can zap people.
Blue Pikmin have more health and do good damage when thrown, plus they don't
drown. Purple Pikmin are slow and heavy and have the most health, doing a lot
of damage but not grabbing onto enemies. White Pikmin are the fastest with the
lowest health and are also toxic. Pikmin follow Olimar in a line. The one at
the front of the line is the one he'll attack with next. Opponents can attack
Pikmin when they're not in Olimar's line to get rid of them. Pikmin also bloom
over time, turning their leaves into buds and finally flowers. I don't know
what this means in terms of gameplay, but it could relate to attack or health.
Finally, when Olimar is KO'd, all his Pikmin die. (Which is too bad; I would
have liked to see Pikmin running around in a panic until he returns or
something.)
Special Moves:
Neutral: Pikmin Pluck
Olimar plucks a new Pikmin from the ground. What colour you get is pretty
random, but different kinds of floors yield different colour rates. The new
Pikmin is added to your group; you can have 6 trailing behind you at once.
SPECIAL NOTE! Kirby cannot use this move properly because Pikmin are so tied
into Olimar's moveset. Instead, Kirby plucks a Pikmin and throws it
immediately, the Pikmin causing damage and instantly vanishing.
Side: Pikmin Throw
This one's simple, you just chuck a Pikmin at the enemy. Pikmin latch onto the
enemy (not the purples, though) and give him a beating. Whites can do a ton of
damage this way (three times the others, to be precise), but their low health
is the tradeoff.
Up: Pikmin Chain
This is a Tether Recovery. Olimar puts the Pikmin into a chain and launches it
at the edge. The more Pikmin you have, the longer this move can reach. Because
it uses all the Pikmin you have, it doesn't change the order like every other
move.
Down: Pikmin Order
Olimar blows a whistle. This causes lost Pikmin (the ones that wandered off or
are currently beating on people) to rejoin your posse. It also either orders
your Pikmin by colour or shifts a new Pikmin to the front of the line.
Final Smash: End Of Day
Olimar summons his ship and blasts off, the camera following. Night falls and a
bunch of unseen enemies give opponents a beating. (Also, if the ship appears on
people, they get buried.) Once the beating is over, the ship falls from the sky
and blows up. The more opponents there are, the more damage this attack does.

II++++II II
***SECTION INCOMPLETE***
Full Name: Robotic Operating Buddy
Smash Bros. Appearance: First
Universe: Nintendo
What's this?! Is this the R.O.B. that was playable for some reason in Mario
Kart DS?! Yessiree! R.O.B. is Brawl's out-of-nowhere character in the same vein
as Ness and G&W from the past two games. Although some say "hes not desrving,
get owt!!1", he's the only reason stores decided to stock the NES back in 1985
(they were wary of video games because of the great crash earlier, while R.O.B.
seemed more like a toy). Now that's some deservedness!
Entrance: Appears in segments and puts himself together.
Costumes: White/red (Famicom/default), two shades of grey (NES), gold, green/
brown
Taunts: Spins head and arms around; spins arms like corkscrew; arcs head, eyes
flashing light
Weight: 104.0%, 10th heaviest
Fallspeed: -0.32, 7th slowest (Tied with Luigi)
Airspeed: 92.5%, 12th slowest (Tied with Fox, Falco, and Pit)
Special Moves:
Neutral: Robo Beam
This move fires a beam of light straight forwards. It does some good damge and
travels a good distance. It also can be angled to bounce off surfaces. The
problem is that R.O.B. has limited laser energy, so he can't use it over and
over again. He has to wait for it to recharge. However, it you let it charge up
enough, it upgrades (for one shot) to the Super Robo Beam. You can tell how
much it's charged up by looking at the light on R.O.B.'s head. Even when not
charged, it does some damage to those right in R.O.B.'s face.
Side: Arm Rotor
Mash B to keep this helicopter-type move spinning. It does continuous damage
and reflects projectiles.
Up: Robo Burner
Once used, you get to tilt the Stick upwards to burn some fuel and fly. It is
guarenteed to at least get you back to the stage, but your fuel needs about 1.5
seconds to recharge once you've landed. If it doesn't fill back up fully, there
may be a problem.
Down: Gyro
Hold down B to charge up this top and use the move again to let it go. It's
considered an item, so it can be reflected and picked up (and then thrown). You
can only have one out at a time.
Final Smash: Diffusion Beam
This shoots energy from R.O.B.'s eyes continuously. It can trap opponents, and
every now and then it fires a beam that KOs people. The problem is its short
range. Luckily, you can move around freely and use all your other moves to
catch dudes in the beam.

OMG SONIKS IN SMASH BROZ, SMASHIN UR MRIOS!!!!1!!1!1one I personally don't care
if Sonic's in SSBB or not. But hey, I'm not 100% against it. Anyway, the
superfast one played just as you would expect: fast, loose, hard to attack or
be attacked. He actually fits in realy well...but don't tell him that, he has
an ego.
Entrace: He bounces in from the camera. Boring.
Costumes: Blue (default)
Taunts: Runs in place and says "You're too slow!"; flips and crosses arms;
breakdances
Weight: 98.5%, 19th heaviest
Fallspeed: 0.33, 15th fastest (Tied with Charizard)
Airspeed: 115.1%, 6th fastest (Tied with DK)
Can walljump
Special Moves:
Neutral: Homing Attack
It's a spin attack. It homes in on people that are close enough. Watch for the
edge and just try to hit people.
Side: Spin Dash
In case you're wondering, yes, Sonic is a one-dimensional character. This
version of his omnipresent move puts him in ball form and allows you to control
his left-right movement. You can also jump while spinning. Watch for the fact
that he does a little bounce at the start of the move.
Up: Spring Jump
An interesting move. Sonic places a spring and leaps off it. After the leap, he
can still do certain air attacks. Also, if you use this on the ground, the
spring can be used by other characters - possibly useful for getting a team
member upwards quickly, especially for heavyweights.
Down: Spin Charge
Hold down the Stick and press B repeatedly, then release the Stick to roll
away. Not much to it. Somewhat hard to learn the timing.
Final Smash: Super Sonic
A rather boring but powerful Final Smash. Sonic becomes Super Sonic and starts
flying around the stage. He's iffy to control, but he does great damage and the
knockback he deals is dependant on which direction you swoop in from.

Snake? SNAAAAAAKE! (pause) Really, you can't talk about Snake without that line
(or Snakes on a Plane, for that matter). Anyway, like Sonic, Snake is a third-
party guest. He specializes in sneaking around with stealth, stealing enemy
blueprints, and destroying the base. With a BOX!!!
Entrace: Turns his cloaking device off. Looks pretty cool.
Costumes: Grey (default), red, yellow
Taunts: Hides in a box; hides in a box quickly; hides in a box slowly (when the
box pops off, it can deal damage, and people can pick up the box and instantly
throw it to deal damage)
Weight: 107.6%, 3rd heaviest
Fallspeed: 0.16, 19th slowest
Airspeed: 98.6%, 20th fastest/20th slowest
Can crawl
Special Moves:
Neutral: Hand Grenade
Snake pulls out a grenade and pulls the pin. Let go of B to give it a heave.
You have three throwing strenghs, dependant on where your Stick is when he
chucks the green thing: hard (forwards), normal (neutral), and soft (back). The
grenade doesn't blow up on contact, so watch for reciprocations.
Side: Remote Missile
This move fires a missile which you can then direct with the Control Stick.
While controlling the missile, Snake is unprotected, and if he's hit, the
missile blows up. If you want to stop controlling the missile without hitting
anyone, you can shield to cancel the control (in which case the missile drops).
Up: Cypher
This one's a little silly, but Snake will do whatever he has to. In this case,
it involves grabbing hold of his flying reconnaissance camera. It stays out for
a good while and is left-right controllable, but it's easy to overshoot the
edge and get punished. Tap down to drop off early.
Down: C4
This move places a bomb on the ground. Press Down+B again to make it go boom.
If you happen to be close enough to someone, the mine will be placed right on
them instead (this also happens if you're in front of a wall). In which case
overlapping with them will transfer the explosive (just like a Gooey Bomb).
Final Smash: Grenade Launcher
Snake calls in a helicopter and climbs the ladder. He reappears at the front
of the screen, hanging from the copter and holding a six-shooter. This is when
you start blasting the daylights out of whoever's left on the stage. Snake gets
a reload (so, 12 big booms) if he doesn't run out of time. Once done, he jumps
back into battle.

You gotta take the fight somewhere. These are the places. Every stage has its
own quirks, obstacles, and music. I've sorted the stages by franchise in the
same order I sorted the characters up there. Also, I sort the stages within
franchises by game release - so you may see a Past Stage listed before a new
Brawl stage.
To describe the stages, I use these terms. Not all of these terms are
universal, so take that into account when reading other FAQs (not that you need
to!).
Solid/Hard Platform: You can't go through these things. Period. If you do, your
game is bugged (or you're using Volt Tackle).
Semisoft Platform: You can jump up (and get hit upwards) through these
platforms, but you can't drop through them. Certain main platforms have this
trait.
Soft Platform: You can jump up and drop through these platforms.
Supersoft Platform: They're like soft platforms, except you can also get hit
downards through them.

I tend to call this stage Yoshi Valley because 1: It's kinda designed like one

of ground in the middle with two steep ramps on the sides. The ramp on the
right leads right to the blast line, while the one on the left has a gap
between it and the edge. In the middle are three sets of Yellow Blocks which
rotate (that is, can't be stood on) when hit. One of these sets bridges over a
gap in the ground, so be careful of accidents.

platform in above the center - it tilts side to side every now and then. Off
the sides of the stage are spots where Support Ghosts could appear - they're
ghosts with platforms on their head, good at saving you if you miss the edge.
But nearby that same area are a couple of Shark Chomps. They mostly gaze at
you, but they could come closer with those jaws. Finally, the stage goes

You'll see a line of text that tells you what to do in order to pass the
microgame:
Sidestep: Dodge the incoming arrows.
Chisel It: Attack the statue until all the loose parts break off.
Pop It: Attack the party cones.
Don't Move: Just what it says.
Stay Dry: An umbrella moves around; stay under it. The rain does damage.
Taunt: Taunt at the right time (may take a try or two to learn the timing).
Dodge (1): You'll get a warning about which side something's gonna fly in from.
Dodge (2): There will be a shadow on the ground. Hint enough?
Jump: Don't be on the ground when the guy in the background hammers the floor.
If you win a microgame (some games can be won by everyone, others can't), you

that can happen in this stage. First, the King of Red Lions (Toon Link's boat)
will periodically come up behind the ship, adding an extra platform for a
while. The ship can also pass by cannon towers in the distance, which will
shoot bombs at you. There are also some large rocks that the ship will run
into (you'll see a "!" at the ship's front before the crash), causing it to
temporarily tip backwards as people fight on the rock. The rock will sink after
a minute or two, getting things back to normal. Finally, cyclones can pick up
the ship and hurl it through the air (removing the water safety from the
bottom), causing it to fly through the sky and land back in the ocean.

To start with, that is. Every now and then King Bulbin runs his hog across the

Suprisingly, you can grab onto even the soft platforms. Oh yeah, and there's
also lava. Red-hot lava, not the ambiguous acid stuff from before. Although the
lava does the standard stuff like rising up and down, it can also appear in
waves that take up the whole screen's height. If a wave comes in from the side,
it occupies about half the stage at once. Fire jets can also spurt in from the
background. But the biggest problem is when a lava wave comes from in back -
because it covers literally the whole stage (practiced jumpers can avoid it,
barely), a safety bunker appears. Get into the bunker to avoid taking damage
from the wave (attack the doors to open them). Obviously, there'll be a fight
to see who gets the safety.

above it. The higher platform is closer to the center than the lower one.
Nothing weird normally happens, although the power can go out. Oh yeah, and the
stage can flip over. A siren will be heard before the stage rotates, basically
changing the terrain into one platform with a smaller one above the dip in the
center and two lower platforms on the sides. The flip is much faster than you'd

Once there, the bottom platform is larger. Oh, and the ship's got weapons
pointed in your general direction. Such weapons include a massive cannon which
deals 30% damage and a flexible arm that is faster and more annoying, as well
as a cannon that fires a slow but very painful bomb down upon you. It's very

for getting hit! Unless you're thrown in by your opponents, in which case you

It's called "Pokemon Stadium 2" because...well, it's just like Pokemon Stadium
the Past Stage. To start, the stage is a simple platform with two soft platform
above it. After a while, the stage transforms into a certain Pokemon type. When
the stage is Electric, the ground becomes a bunch of treadmills, making it
harder to stay on the stage. In Ice form, everything is very slippery. The
Ground transformation just changes the terrain to include a big hill. The
Flying change is the greatest: gravity is halved. Before the stage changes or
reverts, you get a warning on the huge TV screen in the background.

On top of Mount Coronet is the Spear Pillar, a shrine to Sinnoh's legendary
Pokemon. The main level has two vertically-moving platforms above it. Below the
main level (it's a hard platform, you can't just drop or jump through the
division) is a secondary cavern-like area. While that's all well and good, the
real draw here is the Pokes that will mess with your fight. For some reason,
you'll only ever see one of them per battle (even though they vanish and
reappear constantly). While most of the Pokes can break parts of the stage and
shoot Hyper Beams everywhere (you do get a warning, albeit short), they each
have their own unique traits:
Dialga: Four-legged blue thing. Dragon/Steel type. Likes to slow down time.
Also rotates the stage (but not as much as Palkia). Every now and then, it'll
hop off its platform and stomp you.
Palkia: Two-legged dragon with Samus-like shoulders. Dragon/Water type. Does
strange things such as tilt, invert or flip the stage. (It's just an illusion:
when upside down or reflected, pushing left is still left, but it appears to be
right.)
Cresselia: A swan with a cresent moon design. Psychic type. Throws boomerang-
like crescent blades everywhere.
I've seen someone use Gravity (halving gravity for a little while) but don't
remember who it was, or if they can all do it. It's a rare effect.

New Pork City is a large city populated by the evil pigs from Mother 3.
Therefore, this stage is big. Really big. But unlike Hyrule Temple from SSBM,
this stage is all open - there are few solid surfaces. Not too many walls, most
of the upper platforms are soft. It makes for some really cool aerial battles,
that's for sure. Just be sure to avoid the Ultimate Chimera. This huge pink dog
with a rubber duck on its head (???) can and will KO you in one snap. It pops
up everywhere, but it moves slow enough for you to not get caught in its jaws.
One more thing: the camera in this stage is clastrophobic, it hates to get in
close enough for you to actually see what's going on.

A bit of a strange one. You start at the top of a mountain. The stage is made
of a rock in the middle with two platforms above it and an icicle trap
underneath it. After a little while, the whole stage breaks off the top of the
mountain and starts sliding down, obviously tilting. Eventually it lands in the
water, where it becomes an iceberg. The platforms and stuff don't change, but
the Polar Bear will stomp the stage into the water, shrinking your playable
area. Also, watch for the fish that will try to chomp you (it's an instant KO).

This is a real messy stage. First, you start on the roof of a castle under
attack. The main platform is small with a ramp in the middle, and there are two
other platforms above the flat sections. After a little while, you "fall" to
inside the castle - the falling sequence is just a long, invisible platform.
Once inside, there are no gaps in the floor. There are now four platforms, but
the middle two (which are lower than the outside two) can be destroyed by
knocking down the status that support them. After a while, you "fall" again to
an underground level, featuring a plain rock which tilts from side to side.
There's a lot of aerial room here, but the platform is quite small. Finally,
you "fall" back up to the beginning.

This stage can be very annoying. First, it starts off in Fire mode: there's a
skyscraper on the left side with people jumping out of the burning building.
Some firemen are moving a trampoline back and forth which you can use as a jump
pad. Sometimes, this mode of the stage is full of platforms instead. As time
goes by, the stage will decide to temporarily shift into another mode. Oil
Panic mode turns the stage into a three-story gas station with angry customers
moving around on the ground that can damage you. Lion mode creates a cage with
a solid ceiling and has two men with chairs moving up and down the sides of the
cage: hitting a chair guy will send you flying in the cage's direction, either
KO'ing you or causing you to bounce off the other guy (unless your % is low
enough). Finally, Chef mode has some platforms and a chef, who runs around
flinging food everywhere that will hurt you. It's possible to knock out the
chef.

Origin: Kid Icarus
This stage is set in the clouds. There are four main platforms: one at the
bottom, two above it, and one on top. There is a smaller platform below the
main one which moves side to side. The main feature here is that all platforms
are solid - you can't drop or even jump through them. However, they can be
broken through repeated attacks, where they become supersoft platforms - you
can jump through them, drop through them, and even get hit down through them.
The hard platforms will regenerate, and when a platform is hard, you can hang
on its edges. Because you can't travel through the hard platforms, you can
often get "stuck" in the middle - even at high percents, you'll just pinball
around inside the platforms. Of course, if one breaks during this, you'll just
fly out.

Although Olimar named a few features of the planet of Pikmin, he forgot to name
the planet itself. Bummer, huh? Anyway, this stage has a hill on the left side
with a platform in the middle that has three small platforms above it. The non-
hill platforms are all bouncy and springy, so they move up and down a lot.
Also, Pellet Posies appear in various places. Knocking them down produces a
Pellet whith you can hit people with. They're more useful if you throw them at
the passing Onions, however, since they produce "real" items that way. It can
also rain, making it extremely difficult to stay on the left hill. Finally, a
Giant Red Bulborb appears every now and then in that giant blank space to the
right. He can be just another platform, but if he opens his mouth, he becomes a
death trap. Anyone who lands in his mouth is instantly KO'd.

"floors" made of soft platforms. But there are two huge walls that seperate the
stage into parts. The walls are destroyable, which will help if you suck at
KO'ing people upwards. The only hazard here is the spotlight - if it sees you,
then the good ol' "!" appears. Also, Metal Gears can appear. Various makes and

|ITEMS|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
4-----4 4
You've heard of items, right? I sure hope so, they're a big part of the game.
When on, they can radically alter the fight. When off...they do squat. So...
here's what they do when on!
A++++++++A [carrier] A
+CARRIERS++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A++++++++A A
These items have other items inside them. Break them (or throw them at people)
to get the stuff inside. Not all containers hold items, though...some hold
explosions.
Capsule:
Small, pink capsules. They each have one item inside and are easy to throw.
Crate:
Big boxes. Most characters can't walk very fast when holding one of these
things, so dump it quickly. Or, just attack it to get the goodies. They are
sometimes themed to the stage: you'll see metal crates on sci-fi stages, for
example. Crates usually contain two or three items, but they can hold just one.
Blast Box:
A durable crate clearly marked as explosive. Pick it up and throw it around,
but be aware that it can take a lot of damage before it goes off. Unless you
use fire.
Rolling Crate:
For those who like quickly-moving objects. Instead of breaking, rolling crates
will fly across the stage when attacked. They can push you off the stage, so be
ready to jump if one comes your way. They can still be picked up and thrown. If
you feel like it, you can stand on top of them.
Barrel:
Barrels are just like crates, except they roll when you throw them sideways (or
when they appear on a hill). If you're careful, you can pick up barrels that
have stopped rolling.
Party Ball:
Activate a Party Ball by throwing it or pounding on it. When it opens, stuff
pours out. There could be a feast of food, three of an item, or even four
Bob-ombs. It's fun! Especially since it could just cut to the chase and blow
up on contact.
B++++++++B [whacker] B
+WHACKERS++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
B++++++++B B
Pick these items up and you can smack dudes silly with a beating stick. The
item affects your standing attack, dash attack, f-tilt, and f-smash.
Fan:
Fans are light. Because of this, they don't do much damage. But they can be
swung very quickly and successively. Plus, Fans are superb at breaking shields:
a Smash Attack with a Fan will usually destroy a shield in one hit. When
thrown, Fans send the opponent straight up with decent power.
Beamsword:
Think lightsaber, get Beamsword. The Smashers like Star Wars, I guess. (Why
not?) The Beamsword is quite powerful and has a crazy range, and sends people a
long way when thrown.
Home-Run Bat:
Use a Smash Attack which this sucker to knock your opponent out of the park.
Obviously, you need quite the windup for such a swing, so it's hard to land the
hit. Other than that, it's an above-average whacking item.
Star Rod:
As a whacking item, the Star Rod is quite normal. But do an f-tilt or a smash
with it and it shoots a star - you get 20 shots, and they can reach a ways.
Also, this item sends people at a terrible angle when thrown - the perfect
edgeguard. (Certain characters can send multiple stars at once with a Smash
Attack.)
Lip's Stick:
Bloonk! When someone gets hit with this, whether thrown or whacked, a flower
sprouts on their head. Like being poisoned, their % rises while the flower
remains there. Consecutive hits increase the flower's size, making it last
longer. Tapping the Control Stick a lot gets the flower off faster. The stick
also spreads spores (which run out) when used, extending its range a little.
Hammer:
A little different from other whacking items. Once you grab the Hammer you
become a battering machine - you can only jump and bash, all your other
abilities are disabled. It seems powerful, and it is. Just watch for fake
hammers which break, leaving you with just the handle while your opponent can
pick up the head and kill you with it (it's even more powerful than the full
hammer).
Golden Hammer:
It's...a golden hammer. It's painful. You swing it extremely fast, and you can
even float in the air with it by mashing A. Like the ordinary Hammer, this too
has a fake: the Golden Squeaky Hammer. It does no damage (but can still float).
C++++++++C [shooter] C
+SHOOTERS++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
C++++++++C C
All these items are designed to hit people from a distance. Just press or hold
A to launch a volley of projectiles. You can also run and jump while shooting.
Ray Gun:
Beamsword = Star Wars, Ray Gun = Star Trek. Agree? Beh, whatever. This weapon
shoots a total of 16 lasers with infinite range and good juggling power.
Fire Flower:
It may look harmless, but this thing can turn anyone's breath into a stream of
flame. It still does fire damage when thrown after it runs out of juice.
Super Scope:
You remember this guy, right? Mash the A button to cause a ton of damage in 1%
bursts. Hold down and release to fire a huge plasma ball that can KO people
pretty easily. Unfortunately, the shots can't go through people in this game.
Cracker Launcher:
Apparently, the Smashers are allowed to play with fireworks by shooting them
out of a bazooka. You can angle the explosives up and down, and like other
shooting items, you can run and jump while firing (despite the thing's size).
It's actually somewhat of a "heavy" item, since you can't do anything other
than move and jump when you're holding it. You can avoid unnecessary
disappointment by noticing that the last shot has a different colour of smoke
and a different firing noise.
D++++++++D [thrower] D
+THROWERS++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
D++++++++D D
Although you can throw any item, these items are meant to be chucked at people
to cause damage.
Bumper:
Think pinball. When you throw a Bumper, it will stick to the ground and throw
people away when they touch it with minimal (that is, 0%) damage. Bumpers can
stick in the air if they don't hit a surface in a certain amount of time, and
they act the same way. Bumpers don't care who placed them, so watch out for
your own throws.
Mr. Saturn:
He walks around, pushing other items around the stage. He doesn't cause much
damage. However, he DOES take a huge chunk out of shields, and can easily
break one in a few hits. Note that this only applies when thrown; he's harmless
when meandering.
Deku Nut:
You have to be careful with these guys. After it's thrown or it times out,
anyone in range (including the user) when it goes off are stunned as if their
shield broke. People in the air, however, don't get stunned. They get blown
away.
Pitfall:
Hit someone with this sucker and they'll be shoved into the ground, and if
they're on a soft platform, they'll go right through it. Buried characters are
basically eligible for a free hit, they aren't trapped while they get beat on.
Oh, and you can also place this item on the stage, where it becomes invisible
and activates on the next person to walk over it (except for the thrower). They
fade after a while.
Freezie:
Although hard to grab (it slides across the stage automatically, and breaks
when hit), Freezies are quite powerful. Targets will be frozen in a chunk of
ice: they are immobile and extremely heavy, but the initial hit sends them
skyward. You can cause damage while they're frozen, but any fire attack thaws
them out right away.
Smoke Ball:
Once thrown or attacked enough, these guys start spewing coloured smoke
everywhere, making it harder to see what you're doing. They bounce around while
doing this, and they also have a habit of sticking to people.
Bob-omb:
You get five seconds to pick this item up. Then, you can throw it to cause some
great damage and knockback. But after a while it lights its fuse and wanders
around, ready to go off if someone crosses its path. (While walking, it can be
reflected to reverse its heading.) It will blow up eventually if no one touches
it. Note that it's not safe to hold onto this guy as long as you want.
Banana:
Well I think you know what this does. Throw it and the next person to walk over
it gets the slip. It can be reused.
Smart Bomb:
This is the granddaddy of all explosives. It creates a massive explosion
lasting three whole seconds before blowing anyone caught in the blast to the
edge of the screen. There is a small chance that you'll find a dud, and it
won't blow up (although it may later). Like any explosive, it goes off if you
attack it.
Motion Sensor Bomb:
Once thrown, these mines stick to whatever surface they hit, bouncing off
characters. After a second (or if they're attacked) they activate. When
activated, they explode when anything comes within range. They're hard to see
(especially on metal stages) and cause a lot of pain. They don't stick around
forever for some reason.
Gooey Bomb:
Many thought this would replace the Motion Sensor Bomb. Like an MSB, it
attaches to whatever it hits. However, this also includes characters. Once it's
picked up, its timer starts. Throw it at the stage or a person to cause an
attachment. The person in peril can fob off the bomb by running past someone
else before it blows, just like a hot potato.
Unari:
Some...spiked thing. You can throw it or attack it for it to enlarge and stick
to a surface, where it damages everyone else. The original user can attack it
to cause it to be reuseable.
Pokeball:
Throw this thing and once it lands, it'll launch a Pokemon into the fight. With
few exceptions, Pokemon will attack everyone except the person who opened the
ball. Each Pokemon does its thing and then leaves, leaving opponents worse for
wear (depending on the attack).
Team Healer:
If the name didn't give it away...Throw this at people to heal them. Obviously,
you want to aim at your allies, because it heals whoever it hits including the
enemy. The more damage you have, the more you heal. You cannot throw it up in
the air to have it land on yourself. If you're not in a Team Battle, it does
8% damage to targets with no knockback.
Hothead:
A fire/electric type from the Marioverse. Once thrown, it sticks to a surface
and travels around it (it will fall off soft platforms). Because of its
elemental-ness, hitting it with a fire or electric attack will cause it to
grow and do more damage (but not last as long).
E++++++++++++++E [statush] E
+STATUS/HEALING++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
E++++++++++++++E E
These items are used instantly once picked up, and they cause various status
effects to you and (sometimes) others.
Food:
Various pieces of food, such as coffee, rice, sphagetii, and others. They heal
you for about 2%-5% each.
Maxim Tomato:
Kirby loves these things! They heal you for 50%.
Heart Container:
A full Heart Container. They heal you for 100%. They tend to fall really
slowly, so learn to grab items in the air.
Bunny Hood:
Put this on to increase your running speed! It also increases your jump height,
but also your falling speed. Basically, it makes you faster.
Super Mushroom:
This item moves along the ground and only needs to be touched. When you get it,
you grow bigger. Your bigger size gives your attacks more punch and makes you
heavier, as well as helping you jump higher. But you're a bigger target, and
it's easier to miss hitting people.
Poison Mushroom:
Touch this and you shrink. Basically the exact opposite of the Super Mushroom:
your weight, power, and jump height go down, while your evasion rises.
Metal Box:
Grab or attack this to turn into metal. Obviously, you're tons heavier, and you
can resist hitstun at low percentages. But you move a little slower and you
fall tons faster.
Lightning Bolt:
From Mario Kart. Touch this glowing thingy and everyone else will be shunk.
Sometimes it malfunctions and shrinks you instead, or causes your opponents to
get bigger.
Timer:
Grab this clock and everyone other than you will have the timeslow effect
applied: their spacetime continuum moves at half speed, while you can run
around and beat them up. Like the Lightning Bolt, it can also goof up and turn
on you, or it can slow everyone down.
Superspicy Curry:
Reminds me of that old Dairy Queen commercial. "These burgers are great!"
"Yeah, but why do we have to inhale when we talk?" "Because if you exhale,
FLAMES will shoot out of your mouth!" (fancy hand wiggle) And that's what the
Superspicy Curry does: it turns you into a flamethrower with no change to your
moveset. Also, it prevents you from walking (as in, you can only run).
Franklin Badge:
Put this badge on and you won't have to worry about projectiles for a while:
they'll automatically get reflected. Sometimes it's hard to tell who's wearing
one, so it comes as a great surprise.
Screw Attack:
Grab this item and your two jumps will get turned into Screw Attacks for a
little while. If you have more than two jumps, then it only affects the first
two.
F++++++F [therest] F
+OTHERS++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
F++++++F F
These items don't really fit into any of the other categories.
Warpstar:
Grab this and you'll be whisked off-screen for a few seconds, only to come back
down with a bang. You'll land in the spot where you picked up the Warpstar, but
you can change your landing point with the Control Stick - note that you won't
see an aiming sight or anything, and you may fly straight down into nothing.
Because you come down from above, Warpstars are also a good way to "escape" to
a higher part of the screen.
Soccer Ball:
From Super Mario Strikers. Attack this thing and it'll burst into flames and
blast away, causing severe injury or worse to those in its path. Once the fire
goes out, it stops dead and falls back to the ground.
Dragoon:
From Kirby Air Ride, this item is split into three parts. Pick up a part to
stick it into storage (you can see what you have next to your damage meter).
If you're KO'd or hit enough, you can drop one or both parts you're carrying.
But when you collect all three parts, you soar off the screen. Aim with the
cursor and press A to put the immediate KO on those in your sights! (This even
comes with a slo-mo camera zoom!) Note that, unlike other items, the Dragoon
may decide right at the start of the match to never appear. Also, no Smash
Balls will appear when all three Dragoon parts are in play.
Jump Pad:
This item is used without being picked up (although you can toss it). When
facing upright, you get a huge boost when you land on it. When facing sideways,
touching it will send you flying sideways.
Assist Trophy:
Very much like Pokeballs, Assist Trophies have two main differences. One, they
are used just by grabbing them (and then standing still). Two, they don't
release Pokemon: they summon various Nintendo characters. Like Pokemon, ATs
generally won't attack the one who summoned them. You can drop an AT if people
beat on you enough before you can stand still long enough to unleash it,
Smash Ball:
Much fuss is made about the Smash Ball, and for good reason. Grabbing it
turns your neutral B into an ultra-powerful ability. But they're not easy to
get. Smash Balls float around the screen. They can't be picked up: they must be
attacked, and whoever breaks the ball gets the power. If a projectile or
Pokemon breaks the ball, then whoever fired the attack gets the ball. If you
don't use the Final Smash right away, then try to avoid being attacked - other
people can knock the Smash Ball out of you. Oh, and Smash Balls can be wasted
if they're broken by stage elements.

Here's a list of the Pokemon you might get from a Pokeball, what they do, and
how to avoid them if your opponent sics them on you. Note that Pokemon marked
as "Legendary" are far more rare than others.
Meowth (#52) (Normal)
Looks like: A small tan cat.
What it does: Pay Day, which scatters coins in a certain direction. Hits in
quick succesion.
How to avoid it: Get out of its range. It can turn around, so sneaking behind
it isn't the best option.
Electrode (#101) (Electric)
Looks like: A large Pokeball with an angry face.
What it does: Waits about three seconds and then uses Explosion. KOs anyone at
40% or above (including the releaser).
How to avoid it: Run away. If you're daring, you can pick it up and throw it
within a one-second timeframe before the boom. Every now and then it'll fail to
explode. That doesn't always mean it won't just blow up a few seconds later,
though.
Goldeen (#118) (Water)
Looks like: A red and white fish.
What it does: Uses Splash.
How to avoid it: You don't. It's a dud.
Staryu (#120) (Water)
Looks like: A spinning orange starfish.
What it does: Tracks a random opponent and uses Swift. It's just like a Super
Scope.
How to avoid it: Constantly move vertically before it fires (once it shoots, it
stops moving).
Snorlax (#143) (Normal)
Looks like: A big black-and-tan bear.
What it does: Rises up the screen, grows bigger, and uses Body Slam, dropping
through the whole stage.
How to avoid it: It has infinite vertical range, so run to the side. Its cry is
pretty distinctive.
Moltres (#146) (Fire/Flying) (Legendary)
Looks like: A big orange bird.
What it does: It just sits there for a few seconds and then Flies away. Anyone
that touches it at any time is in for a KO (depending on the direction they
were touched from).
How to avoid it: Don't ever go near it. And watch for its vertical exit.
Mew (#151) (Psychic) (Legendary)
Looks like: A small pink cat in a bubble.
What it does: Flies away and drops a CD (unless you have them all, in which
case it drops some trophies or stickers).
How to avoid it. Don't. Grab the loot!
Chikorita (#152) (Grass)
Looks like: A small chartreuse plant thing.
What it does: Razor Leaf. Like Ivysaur's Side-B but rapid-fire.
How to avoid it: Get behind it or move away vertically. It has pretty good
horizontal range but doesn't last for very long.
Togepi (#175) (Normal)
Looks like: A half-hatched egg.
What it does: Metronome, which can be any of the following: Leech Seed (puts a
flower on people's heads), Powder Snow (freezes people), Spore (causes
sleeping), Magnitude (buries people), or Night Shade (causes the screen to
temporarily go black).
How to avoid it: All its status effect moves only work on people there are too
close (plus two of them only work on grounded people). Night Shade can't be
avoided, just dealt with.
Bellossom (#182) (Grass)
Looks like: A green plant with red flowers.
What it does: Uses Sleep Powder. It puts you to sleep.
How to avoid it: Don't stand near it. Especially if the unleasher has a move
like Falcon Punch.
Entei (#244) (Fire) (Legendary)
Looks like: Some big brown dog/cat with a cloud on its back.
What it does: Fire Spin. Traps everyone around him for massive damage.
How to avoid it: Since Fire Spin is so tall, it's best to not try jumping over
it. One touch will trap you for the rest of the attack. Luckily, there's not
much horizontal range to it.
Suicune (#245) (Water) (Legendary)
Looks like: A big white and light blue dog/cat.
What it does: Waits half a second, then uses Aurora Beam and kills everything
in front of it.
How to avoid it: Jump quickly. You need fast reflexes to dodge the attack.
Lugia (#249) (Psychic/Flying) (Legendary)
Looks like: A large light blue bird.
What it does. Flaps off the screen doing severe damage to anything it touches,
then reappears in the background and Aeroblasts fighters in a random pattern.
How to avoid it: The first phase is easy to avoid: don't get near it. The
second phase is tons harder to avoid because the attack moves so quickly, but
it moves around so haphazardly it may not hit you at all.
Ho-oh (#250) (Fire/Flying) (Legendary)
Looks like: A huge red bird.
What it does: Flies off the screen and uses Sacred Fire, unleashing a massive
pillar of flame on the spot it was released. People get caught in the fire,
unable to get out until it ends.
How to avoid it: Don't get anywhere near where it appeared, end of story.
Celebi (#251) (Psychic/Grass) (Legendary)
Looks like: A plant with a big head.
What it does: Drops trophies.
How to avoid it: If you do, you'll lose the trophies. Hint?
Torchic (#255) (Fire)
Looks like: A small red chick.
What it does: Fire Spin (according to Smashbros.com). Causes the nearby area to
burst into flame.
How to avoid it: It attacks quickly, so get out of its range as soon as you see
or hear it. It can do a lot of damage very quickly if you stick around.
Gardevoir (#282) (Psychic)
Looks like: Some tall green and white lady.
What it does: Light Screen (the website says Reflect, but that's for physical
attacks). Anyway, it creates a large circular area that projectiles can't enter
without being bounced away.
How to avoid it: You don't avoid it. Instead, use it as a projectile shield. I
don't think the unleasher's projectiles get reflected.
s
Gulpin (#316) (Poison)
Looks like: A green blob.
What it does: Uses Swallow on anyone who comes too close. Once it's got
someone, it causes damage repeatedly and then spits them out. Swallowed people
can be damaged by other people as well.
How to avoid it: It sticks around for a very long time, but it does not move.
Just stay away. If you get caught, mash buttons to escape faster.
Metagross (#376) (Steel/Psychic)
Looks like: A silver-blue quadruped with a silver X on its face.
What it does: Uses Earthquake three or so times, hitting everyone on the ground
who's too close. People even closer get stuck in the ground before the hit.
How to avoid it: Stay in the air or get away. Being 1,212.5 pounds, Metagross
can't stand on a soft platform: if there's not solid ground below him, feel
free to laugh at the guy who let him loose.
Latias/Latios (#380/381) (Dragon/Psychic) (Legendary)
Looks like: A white bird with either red or blue highlights. It doesn't matter
which comes out, it'll summon the other.
What it does: Steel Wing? Bah. Anyway, they fly across the screen at lightning
speeds, punishing things they hit. The speed they travel creates powerful air
currents.
How to avoid it: Dodge at the right time. That's about it.
Kyogre (#382) (Water) (Legendary)
Looks like: A big blue winged whale with a pattern of red lines.
What it does: Floats over the stage and uses Hydro Pump. Does no damage but
gives foes a ride. Touching the whale, however, does do damage.
How to avoid it: Its large range can be tough to deal with, and it can move
around if it wants to. Stay on the ground to avoid most of it.
Groudon (#383) (Ground) (Legendary)
Looks like: A very large red dragon with a pattern of black lines. Too big to
miss.
What it does: Overheat. Basically, those who touch it get damaged. (And no, I
don't get why he gets firey attributes when he's a Ground-type.)
How to avoid it: Let's face it, it's so big it's almost impossible to avoid.
Luckily, it doesn't move.
Jirachi (#385) (Steel/Psychic) (Legendary)
Looks like: A fairy with a star-shaped head.
What it does: Unleashes...stickers!
How to avoid it: GRABB TEH STIKERZ!!!
Deoxys [Attack] (#386) (Psychic) (Legendary)
Looks like: A red and turquoise bundle of fibers with an alien head.
What it does: Floats upwards and then unleashes a Hyper Beam below it.
How to avoid it: It sticks around for a while, so don't try to cross the stream
for the time it's there.
Piplup (#393) (Water)
Looks like: A small blue penguin.
What it does: Uses Surf after a few seconds, taking people with it off the
edge. It will turn around if it hits a wall.
How to avoid it: Get to the other side of it or jump. It's hard to get out once
you're hit, but it's somewhat hard to actually get hit.
Bonsly (#438) (Rock)
Looks like: A potted plant.
What it does: Smashbros.com says it uses Tackle. Actually, it doesn't do
anything. However, picking it up (it's a heavy item, like Crates) and giving it
a heave will do serious damage.
How to avoid it: Throw it before anyone else can. It doesn't matter who
unleashed Bonsly, he'll damage anyone.
Munchlax (#446) (Normal)
Looks like: A small grey pine tree.
What it does: Uses Swallow. On items. (Smashbros.com says it uses Pickup, but
that's an ability, not a move.)
How to avoid it: You don't avoid it, but you need to be aware that nearby items
will be gobbled up. I don't think he eats Pokeballs, though.
Weavile (#461) (Dark/Ice)
Looks like: Some black cat with a large pink collar.
What it does: False Swipe. It dashes back and forth, causing people in its way
to get shieldstunned.
How to avoid it: Stay in the air or move out of its range. It can dash off
platforms and start anew on a lower surface, so go to higher ground.
Manaphy (#490) (Water) (Legendary)
Looks like: A dewdrop with antennae.
What it does: Uses Heart Swap, forcing you to control your opponent's character
for a little while. It picks two random characters, summoner or not.
How to avoid it: You can't really (unless you're out of the very large range).
Just deal with it. Note that it's an SD for you if you jump your opponent's
body off the edge.

+ASSIST TROPHIES+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
H+++++++++++++++H H
***SECTION INCOMPLETE***
This is a list of all the possible Assist Trophies. Like Pokemon, you'll find
info on what they do and tips on how to avoid them if they're against you.
Lakitu
Looks like: A turtle with glasses riding a cloud.
What he does: He drops Spinies on you that walk around.
How to avoid him: Have you ever played a Mario game? If not, then hide under a
platform.
Waluigi
Looks like: A purple-and-black Luigi who's been put through a gum stretcher.
What he does: He runs at you and steps on you, slamming you into the dirt. He
can also kick you or whack you with his tennis raquet.
How to avoid him: Just get out of his face. He tends to choose his targets
regardless of who's nearby, but he's not exactly a fast guy. (Some people can't
outrun him, though.)
Tingle
Looks like: A fat midget in green tights.
What he does: Says the magic words "Kooloo-Limpah", causing a random effect to
happen. He may fly away and do nothing else, but he may cause the camera to
zoom in on someone (rendering everyone else blind), make the immediate area
extremely slippery, or drop about ten hammers (one being a Golden Hammer).
How to avoid him: There's nothing to avoid. That being said, make sure you get
a hammer before anyone else does. (Tingle's hammers can be fakes, as usual.)
Metroid
Looks like: A HUGE ball of...creature with three nuclei and four claws.
What it does: It floats around looking for BRAINZZZ. It latches on and hurts
you bad.
How to avoid it: Just stay out of its (erratic) flight path. If it gets on you,
fling your Stick around to get it off: it can do some massive damage.
Knuckle Joe
Looks like: A Waddle Dee in Naruto gear.
What he does: He runs around doing Vulcan Jab (like Kirby's neutral combo) two
or three times. Then he applies a finisher of either Smash Punch (a horizontal
projectile) or Rising Break (a jumping uppercut). The finishers will probably
KO you.
How to avoid him: Stay out of his way to start with. You can easily get trapped
in the early punching flurry, and he usually fires the finisher less than a
second after his last combo.
Andross
Looks like: A big grey blocky face. You can't miss it.
What he does: Hovers in the background and spits large tiles at people.
How to avoid him: It's hard to avoid him because he aims for people, and the
tiles cover a wide range. I would say dash to the side once he starts blowing.
Jeff
Looks like: A blond kid with glasses.
What he does: Sets up some bottle missiles. They home in on opponents, with the
fifth one being bigger than the rest. Sometimes he fires a second volley.
How to avoid him: Trick the missiles into going downwards through a platform
(which they can't do).
Little Mac
Looks like: A short boxer.
What he does: Runs around punching people. Some strikes have good power.
How to avoid him: He's not much different than an opponent that runs up to you
and presses A a bunch, except that he can't be hurt.
Nintendog
Looks like: Some dog.
What it does: Comes up to the screen and paws at it. If you're a dog owner, you
know the feeling.
How to avoid it: Just deal with the obstruction for the twenty-odd seconds it
lasts.
Exitebikes
Looks like: A bunch of NES motorcycles.
What they do: They drop in bulk from the point where the AT was opened and dash
sideways in a pack, running people over.
How to avoid them: They're fast and hard-hitting, but also grounded. Jumping
works best if you have the reflexes.
Stafy
Looks like: A yellow star.
What he does: He wanders around and spins a little. He sucks.
How to avoid him: Just bash him. He's one of the few ATs that can be hurt, so
use that fact liberally.
Jill
Looks like: A wacko girl in a pink tank with a drill on the front.
What she does: Moves sideways, causing combo damage on opponents in the way.
How to avoid her: Get on another platform or behind a wall.
Shadow The Hedgehog
Looks like: Sonic with a black coat of paint.
What he does: "Chaos Control". It timeslows people.
How to avoid him: You can't really. Just deal with it.
Grey Fox
Looks like: A robot with a sword and one orange eye.
What he does: Runs around slashing people. Can also reflect projectiles.
How to avoid him: Run behind him or something. He's pretty fast.
I++++++++++++I [collect] I
+COLLECTABLES++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I++++++++++++I I
These aren't items per se, but you do pick them up during battle. Collectables
have no effect on the battle and are added to your collection (no duh) when
picked up. Computers don't go for them, but if they get one by mistake, it
doesn't count. Collectables cannot be controlled in the Item Switch. If you're
playing online, they go to the Wii of whoever picks them up.
Sticker:
These small sheets of paper float down. There are a whole ton of stickers to
collect, and they'll rain down infinitely: you can collect copies. That said,
it's a real job to collect them all. Luckily, there are other ways to get those
stickers you're missing.
CD:
These things are worth their weight in gold. Collecting one unlocks a new music
piece for a certain stage. CDs stop appearing once you have them all or if the
only CDs you still need are for locked stages. If you see one, bolt for it
ASAP: they vanish in less than five seconds. (CDs will appear online if even
one player needs 'em.)
Trophy:
Trophies usually only appear in single player, but rare Pokemon may drop some.
Grab them to get a 3D model of something from Nintendo's history. Some trophies
can only be unlocked, you can't get them just randomly.
Trophy Stand:
These suckers only appear in the Subspace Emissary. Thunking an enemy with it
can turn it into a trophy for you to collect. Like Pokemon, enemies are easier
to catch when their health is low. You can even trophyize bosses (obviously
harder). This is easier when you have a partner, because you can't use your
standard attacks while holding the Trophy Stand. This is the only way to
collect trophies of the enemies in the Subspace Emissary. Note that it takes a
very long time to actually throw the darn thing, since your character insists
on doing a spinning windup.

A+++++++A [classic] A
+CLASSIC+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A+++++++A A
***SECTION INCOMPLETE***
In Classic, you are pitted against random enemies from predetermined universes
in a linear fashion. Just pick your difficulty and your stock and you're off to
do battle.
While the order of universes is not random, the battle conditions will be. You
may get a simple 1-on-1, a 2-on-2 (with a CPU ally), a 2-on-1 with the opponent
being giant (bigger than a usual Super Mushroom size change), a 1-on-1 with a
giant opponent, a 1-on-1 with a metal opponent, or a 1-on-10 battle (you fight
three at a time and they're easy to KO). I believe you will always get two
giant battles, one metal battle, two team battles, and one 2-on-2. (You won't
see a metal opponent until at least battle 6, and I don't think you'll ever get
an ally against a giant in the harder difficulties.)
Battle 1: Triforcic Universe (Link, Toon Link, Zelda/Sheik, Ganondorf)
This can be either a 1-on-1 or a 2-on-2, played on either of the two Zelda
stages (Bridge of Eldin or Pirate Ship). Nothing weird.
Battle 2: Marioverse Subdivisions (DK, Diddy, Yoshi)
If you're lucky, this will be a 1-on-1. Far more often, though, it'll be you,
DK, and Diddy against a Giant Yoshi or you and Yoshi against a team of DK and
Diddy.
Battle 3: Pokemon Universe (Pikachu, Jigglypuff, PT, Lucario)
Nothing special about this battle. It should be noted that you will get told
before the battle which of PT's Pokemon you'll face.
Battle 4: Swords and Minds (Marth, Ike, Ness, Lucas)
You will never see two people against you from different universes here: that
is, you will never face Marth and Lucas at once. And if you have an ally, he
will be from the opposite universe you're fighting against.
Break The Targets!
This is a bonus stage (dying won't affect your stock). Break all ten targets!
You'll be on the stage that corresponds to the difficulty you chose: for
example, if you chose Normal, you'll face Level 2.
Battle 5: Dreamland (Kirby, MK, Dedede)
Halberd as stage. Nothing else needs to be said.
Battle 6: Space Travellers 1 (Samus/ZSS, Olimar)
This can never be a 2-on-2 fight (although it can be a 1-on-10). Also, you may
see your metal opponent here on out.
Battle 7: Space Travellers 2 (Fox, Falco, Wolf, C. Falcon)
No odd stuff here.
Battle 8: Marioverse (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser)
Pretty standard. Just hope you don't get Giant Bowser, he is NASTY.
Battle 9: Retro/Oddballs (Wario, Ice Climbers, Mr. G&W, Pit, R.O.B.)
Like #6, this can't be a 2-on-2. (In case you aren't aware, Mario Bros. is
R.O.B.'s home stage.)
Battle 10: Guests (Sonic, Snake)
Same as #6 and #9.
Break The Targets!
Another bonus stage. This time, you'll take on the stage one level higher than
your current difficulty (so on Normal you'll do Level 3).
Battle 11: Any (three characters not fought before)
Unique. The game picks three characters you haven't fought so far and puts them
against you on Final Destination. This 1-on-3 sounds bad, but the game also
decides to turn Team Attack on, allowing your opponents to hurt each other.
Battle 12: Master Hand
The final battle! Master Hand appears on Final Destination and you gotta beat
him down. MH's stamina depends on the difficulty level you're playing:
Easy: 150HP
Normal: 250HP
Hard: 300HP
Very Hard: 330HP
Intense: 360HP
Bit of an odd system...No items will appear during this fight. Also, the hand
has a variety of attacks you must avoid:
Bullet Point: Forms a gun shape and shoots you. If you have a reflector, use
it! (I'm not sure if the bullets can be absorbed).
Laser Nail: Scrunches up his fingers and shoots lasers out of them. The lasers
do 7% a hit, but only hit in front of the hand. Stay beneath him and attack as
if he's just sitting there.
Digit Drill: Spins upwards and comes down on you in a drill shape, dealing a
bunch of hits. Designed to damage, not KO. Difficult to avoid.
Palm Slap: Swipes across the stage. Hard to avoid because of the nonexistant
windup time.
Finger Walk: "Walks" across the stage and kicks you when he gets to you.
Avoidable by jumping high or hiding behind him.
Rocket Wrist: Flies off the stage and soars in from the background. Easy to
avoid as it only hits at ground level.
Drop Punch: Hovers over you for about three seconds and comes down with a
punch.
Drop Slap: Similar-looking windup to the Drop Punch, except he opens up at the
last moment, slapping the ground. Buries you. If you like dodging, be aware
that the "opening up" is just long enough to cause most dodges to end as he
comes down.
Flight Punch: Rises off the stage and punches in from the background. Should be
dodged.
Flight Slap: Rises off the stage and slaps you from the background. Doesn't
leave a lot of time for you to react.
Power Poke: Follows you with a finger extended, then gives three swift jabs.
Move sideways to avoid it, since he stops moving when he starts poking.
Grab: If he starts following you around without doing anything, he's about to
grab you. Dodge the grab. If you fail, you can still escape the grab before he
throws you (though he may be able to do damage anyway, he can pummel).
Like any boss, it may take some time to learn the attack warnings. But really,
you shouldn't have much of a problem with this guy (although he attacks faster
on higher difficulties). Unless you've reached him on Hard or higher in under 9
minutes...in which case the battle will be against both Master Hand and Crazy
Hand!
Crazy Hand is Master Hand's lefty counterpart. While he does most of the same
attacks, he likes to lay status effects on you, plus he's got some unique moves
of his own:
Spider Walk: Forms a claw-like shape and walks across the stage. Can cause some
pain. Easy to avoid if you jump.
Bomb Drop: Hovers in the middle of the stage and drops bombs. The bombs fall
straight down and then blow up, so stand to the side, jump, and use a
projectile to hit him without putting yourself in danger.
Spasms: Suddenly drops to the ground and flops all over the place (he doesn't
move sideways at all with this). Can do some huge damage if you don't avoid it
to start with.
Not only do you have to contend with both Hands at once, likely attacking while
the other is resting, they also pull off some combo moves:
Snooze Applaud: Lay sleeping gas over the stage and start clapping like mad.
Jump once to avoid the snoring and then again to avoid the squishing.
Dual Punch: Come together for a bit, then wind up and smash fists together in
the center of the stage. Very painful if not avoided.
Cross Catch: CH punches across the stage while MH catches him. Not hard to
avoid, so do it.
B++++++++++++++++++++++++++++B [sbspemy] B
+ADVENTURE: SUBSPACE EMISSARY++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
B++++++++++++++++++++++++++++B B
***SECTION INCOMPLETE***
Otherwise known as Story Mode, Subspace Emissary pits you against that Ancient
Minister and those dern Primids. You need to stop them from pulling the world
apart and stuffing it into subspace. Yes, it's a nefarious plot. So you gotta
stick it to 'em.
Okay, first order of business: Learn all characters. That's right, you have
little choice of who you can choose, at least to begin with. That done, see if
you've got a friend nearby. P2 can participate as your teammate, but only as a
sidekick: if you fail, they can't pick you up. If you leave them behind, they
just Space Jump back to the center of the screen. Unless they're KO'd. But then
you wouldn't care anymore, right?
Before we kick off this game-in-a-game, let's profile some of the enemies
you'll be totally pwning:
Primid: Humanoid shadow things. Just kill them.
Beam Primid: These Primid have Beamswords. So what? Watch the range, that's
all.
Boom Primid: These Primid have boomerangs. Not much of a problem.
Scope Primid: They shoot you, either with three weak shots or a charged big
one. Simple as that. They can fire both horizontally and vertically, so watch
for any below you.
Big Primid: Just what it says on the can.
Metal Primid: A Primid of metal. They're heavy and slow and reflect
projectiles.
Fire Primid: Gee, I wonder?
Glire, Glice, Glunder: Tri-segmented frisbees that follow the countours of the
surface they're stuck to. The colour of the center eye is the clue to what
they'll hurt you with: Glires shoot hot stuff, Glices freeze you, and Glunders
are electrocuters.
Poppant: Black-and-white clownish things with massive red pants. They tend to
run away, dropping things out of their pants to deter you. Drop lots of food
when defeated.
Bytan: Large Pokeball-like rubber balls that can clone themselves. Don't let
them fill the screen. Some are large (as in, Giga Bowser large).
Roader: Looks like a red metal ostrich on a unicycle. Has teh road raeg. Will
try to run into you.
Bombed: It has a bomb for a head. Use fire to set it off early (as in, before
it's deployed). They will run away once they've thrown their bean until it
grows back, regardless of whether there's an edge.
Greap: Huge ball with two scythes. Do not get hit by them. Its head is its weak
point.
Bucculus: Sits in the ground with its lips showing (maybe) and latches onto any
poor sap that walks by. Does some serious damage.
Towtow: Massive wooly rams that tend to sleep until you get them angry (by
attacking any enemy around them). Then they just go nuts.
Floow: A ghost with a humanoid body. It regenerates health constantly, so hit
it hard and fast to exorsize it. Painful attack. Be extremely careful (that is,
offensive) if there are two or more around, since they can deal out astounding
damage if they attack in succession.
Auroros: Big white bird with cone-shaped beak. Dives from above to attack. Easy
to defeat when they're stuck in the ground; just pick 'em up and give 'em a
hurl.
Buckot: Dude that floats in the air and douses red-hot iron chunks on you.
Jyk: Simply put, these are traps. They either stay put or move and damage you
if you touch them. They cannot be destroyed, even by Trophy Stands. Come in
fire, electric, and water varieties (but it doesn't really matter).
Gamyga: Freaky-looking large metal flower head with a four-part yellow base.
You can't miss it. The head takes damage seperately from the body, but you can
get rid of the whole brass ring by beating on the head. The head shoots you
with fat lasers.
Feyesh: Fish that fly with a bullseye in their face. Hint hint. (It's actually
just their eye, but whatever.) They attack with electric tentacles.
Trowlon: These dudes won't attack. Instead, they slip under your feet and try
to KO you off the top of the screen.
Roturret: Stationary, rotating energy blasters. They're big and mean and
usually a decently large pain. They fire three double shots at a time, but
luckily they're like X-wings and can't hit anything between the barrels.
Spaak: Clouds with battery packs. Hit them and they get all angry and fire
bigger electric sparks. Hit the battery packs for massive damage.
Puppit: They hang from the air and take swipes at you. Also, they have laser
eyes.
Shaydas: Two-headed shadow monster that brings two massive blades to your face.
Attack its pink core when it's glowing for a likely one-hit KO.
Mite: Small stick figures that come by the truckload. A real pain in the
buttocks even though they have less depth than a sheet of tracing paper. Come
in various bold colours.
Shellpod: Large green turtle-like thing with a horn. When its health gets
really low, the shell breaks. Doesn't really mean much, although it means it's
hard to not get its health low enough for a trophyization. (You get two
trophies for it at once, by the way.)
Nagagog: Looks like a sumo wrestler. As this fatso takes damage, he enlarges
through three distinct sizes (colour coded, of course). Size equals pain, so
finish him quickly. Luckily, the sizing process costs them health. They can't
transform if you keep needling them with attacks, but you also can't damage
them during the enlargement.
Cymul: Looks like a hovering ceiling fan. It just gets in the way (and does
some good damage). Also, its shiny coating uses reflector technology - don't
use any projectiles on it.
Ticken: Tiny, cute birdies that reside in large metal bodies. Yes, it can fly,
but not exceedingly well. If they land on you, yer stuck in the dirt. Also does
a charging horn attack.
Armight: A strange floating blue thing with a yellow helmet and two swords.
It sometimes throws the swords, but it usually just slashes at you. And it has
a distinctive laugh.
Borboras: Thingus that blows gusts of air at you. Its head looks like a French
Horn somewhat.
Autolance: A tank with a lance on the front. It will either stab you or throw
the lance at you. Hit the light for massive damage (that is, once you blow the
covering off).
Armank: Looks somewhat like a construction vehicle. Attack the arm to have the
cabin open up to reveal the only part of the enemy that takes damage.
R.O.B. Sentry: Doesn't do much, really. It can blow up.
R.O.B. Launcher: A green and brown R.O.B. that shoots missiles.
R.O.B. Blaster: This version shoots beams from his eyes.
Goomba: Yes, Bowser's got some troops ready to give you some guff. Goombas are
cake, though. Landing on them is an automatic Footstool Jump (oh, and by the
way, it kills them).
Giant Goomba: It takes four or five jumps to KO this behemoth.
Koopa: These guys come in red (don't walk off edges) and green (stupid). Land
on them to produce a shell that you can throw, They pop back out later.
Paratroopa: They fly around. Hit them to knock the wings off. I don't think
this affects the trophy that appears when you grab 'em.
Hammer Bro: You know, the AT? You can hurt him this time.
Bullet Bill: They fly either straight or at you. They blow up.
Also, there are some special features you may need to know about:
Door: Just press Up to enter a door. Some doors are disguised as teleporters;
they're used the same way. Only P1 can enter doors.
Blocks: There are three types of block which look different depending on the
terrain: normal blocks can be broken, solid blocks can't, and bomb blocks cause
solid blocks to go boom in a set pattern. Sometimes you get to a half-n-half
level in which breaking one block breaks an indestructable block in the other
half.
Launch Sleigh: Touch this and it'll zoom along on its path, flinging you off at
the end. You can jump off, which may be a good idea if it leads into a trap. If
P1 jumps on one, P2 instantly follows.
Barrel Cannon: Hop on in to get launched in the indicated direction. Most shoot
you automatically, but some need manual detonation (press A at the right time).
You become a lethal projectile while you're careening through the air once
shot, destryoing enemies and blocks in the way. P2 joins in instantly, but P1
won't follow P2.
Railcar: Hop in a railcar and it'll run along its path, killing anything in the
way. They're not guarenteed to be a safe ride, however: if you think it's going
to carry you off the screen or you see a "!", jump out of it. Same P1/P2 deal
as other "vehicles".
Trackball: Possibly the funnest feature. Attack the floating pink circle to
fling it along the indicated pathway, damaging or destroying (depending on the
strength of your attack) anything in the way (including special, otherwise-
indestructible blocks). They automatically reset once they run out of energy
(they do no damage when retreating).
Spaceshifting Wormhole: These dense purple clouds teleport more enemies into
the room. Each portal only generates one type of enemy (say, Mites) and will
keep feeding them in until you break it.
One final note: I'll be doing this walkthrough on Hard difficulty, since the
number of enemies may change depending on difficulty. Using Hard (the "middle"
difficulty) gives a good idea of how many enemies you'll be facing.
Stage 1: The Subspace Shadow (Midair Stadium)
To start, Peach and Zelda are watching Mario and Kirby have a nice little
1-on-1 match. You choose who to fight as (P2 is a copy of P1, it becomes a
2-on-1). Just beat your opponent. Note that the stage is a simple platform a
bit larger than Final Destination.
A cutscene then ensuses, showing that Pit is watchin' the bout on his TV set.
(Sort of.) Your character saves the opponent from trophyization (what happens
when someone's defeated in this world) just before stuff hits the fan. The
Halberd appears and drops some Shadow Bugs on you. Mario, Kirby, Peach, and
Zelda band together and start beating them up (that's your cue). Just smack all
the Primids off the screen. Primids and other enemies will keep appearing until
the bar at the top runs out, then you're done. (Enemies: 15 Primids, 5 Boom
Primids, 6 Spaaks, 4 Sword Primids)
After you've dispatched of teh fiendz, the Ancient Minister hovers in. He drops
a Subspace Bomb and has Petey Pirahna capture the princesses and blow away
Mario. So it's Kirby (and Kirby 2, if P2 is in) against Petey. You don't really
hurt Petey; the goal is to break the cages he's holding to free a princess. He
only has two attacks:
Cage Swing: He swings a cage at you.
Super Stomp: He flies up in the air and lands somewhere.
Rage: When a cage's HP if half gone, Petey decides to attack more frequently
(marked by a red glow and a roar).
Not much of a problem. Once one cage is broken, the battle ends.
So Petey blows up, leaving Kirby and the saved princess to escape. And escape
you must, since that bomb is gonna blow. Before it does and Kirby calls in a
Warpstar for leaving the scene, Wario storms in and trophyizes the unsaved
princess, carting her off with him.
Current party members: Kirby, a princess
Note: Now you have the map screen. From the menu you can save, apply stickers,
and quit. Once that's done, use the Stick and A to select a stage to enter. The
newest stage is marked by a "!", completed stages have a green flag, and stages
in which you have collected every Orange Cube and opened every door will
display a flashing crown.
Stage 2: Mostly Cloudy (Skyworld)
Pit sees on his screen that the arena got kaboom'd. With some help from his
superior, he leaves his hidey-hole and jets towards lower ground. After a mini-
stage that just gives you some goodies (hit the blocks to get items, stickers,
or trophies), the Halberd pokes up through the clouds and dumps some shadow
payload in Pit's face. A sidescrolling stage with intermittent battles ensues.
First, you'll be in a "locked battle": you won't be able to explore the rest of
the stage until you clear out the enemies. You can tell you're in a locked
battle when the screen flashes purple and you hear a distinctive noise. This
locked battle is against 7 Primids (not neccesarily all at once). When you see
a white flash, the locked battle is over. Go right.
After the stairs, there will be a Spaak. Kill it and climb up the to platform
for an Orange Cube. There will be some more Spaaks around. Keep going right to
meet some Primids and Boom Primids. Once through the cloud tunnel, you'll see
a Cymul - refrain from shooting it. Once it's done, go right to enter a locked
battle with a Greap. A door will appear.
Pit then discovers Mario in a cloud. They team up to take on the next portion
of the stage.
The first part of the stage will be full of Glunders. Get past them to land on
a moving platform and see your first Zap Jyks. Past them is a Ferris wheel-type
thing with a Jyk moving around it. Go on and face some Spaaks and Glunders, as
well as some Primids and Boom Primids.
Once you see another pack of Glunders, look at the nearest vertically-moving
pillar (before the Glunders). At its lowest point, it'll reveal a door. Inside
is a bonus room that will automatically scroll upwards, challenging you to
climb quickly. You get a Blue Cube (they're technically optional) for your
trouble.
Once past the Glunders on the main track, you'll get into a locked battle with
7 Primids, 3 Boom Primids, 3 Spaaks, and a Roturret. Then hop onto the launcher
for a lesson on how they act.
Pit and Mario watch the Halberd fly away, as well as an Arwing chasing it.
Current party members: Mario, Pit; Kirby, a princess (the semicolon means that
they can't work together, they're in different places right now)
Stage 3: A Great Drop (Sea of Clouds)
The Halberd is chasing Kirby and the princess' Warpstar. It bumps and the pair
land on the battleship's roof. After a short walk, the previously seen Arwing
gets shot down, knocking the two off the ship. Then the platforming begins.
You'll first see some Primids and Boom Primids. Just before you see some
Glunders, you'll see some breakable blocks in your way. Bust them and the
enemies. A little later down the stage will be a dead end with a Blue Cube that
contains a Stock Ball - the 1UPs of this game. Make sure to get it. You'll see
a Poppant or two later down the road. After that, the stage opens up into a
large area with Feyesh and Towtows. Climb up the breakable blocks (i.e, be
careful!) to reach a door in the ceiling that contains two Blue Cubes. (Note
that when you re-enter an area, breakable blocks will not respawn but enemies
will.) More Primids, Boom Primids, and Poppants await when you progress further
down the road. Keep going for some Feyesh and enter the door.
You're at ground level now. There will be some cloud platforms that like to
phase in and out of existance, as well as a Poppant and a bunch of Spaak. Once
the path drops, you'll see your first Spaceshifting Wormhole - and it's a
locked battle, just to tell you they can be destroyed. This portal creates
yellow Mites. You only have to destroy the SW to unlock the level, but the
Mites really should be KO'd too. Notice that once the SW is gone, you may be
able to see a Blue Cube on the right of the large pillar even though the stage
goes left.
There will be more Mites as you go left, as well as some boulders that drop
from the sky. You will get a warning in the form of falling sand before a rock
plummets. Watch carefully for a Boom Primid that gets smashed by Boulder #3.
Climb all the way to the upper left for a Blue Cube. Once you get that (it's
been a Star quite frequently for me), drop down the a locked battle with an SW
(yellow Mites) and 5 Glunders. Since Glunders roll continuously, many will kill
themselves. Go right once that's done for some rolling boulder fun with some
Feyesh. You'll also see a ladder - get used to ladder physics. There may be
some more Mites down the road, but I only saw a boulder kill a bunch of things.
Once you get past the pit the boulders fall into, you'll face a Greap in a
locked battle.
Current party members: Mario, Pit; Kirby, a princess
Stage 4: Jungle Parkway Robbery (The Jungle)
You see a Hammer Bro carrying a huge load of bananas out of the jungle. Guess
what that means! Yes, DK's ticked and it's gonna hurt. The ape and Diddy set
out across the jungle.
The level is very Mario-like: you'll see various amounts of Goombas, Koopas,
and Paratroopas in the first segment. The DK part starts with the Barrel
Cannons. The third one you see will blast you downwards through otherwise
unbreakble blocks, revealing an Orange Cube. After that there's a standard
segment where you are BC'ing across a huge pit, and one mistake with the manual
cannons is likely fatal. Don't worry about enemies when being shot - it turns
you into an invincible projectile.
The second step introduces you to the Trackballs. Blast the first one you see
to get a feel for it. Keep going through the area, hitting every one you see.
However, once you get to a ladder, keep going straight up to find a hidden
door. This secret room has two Blue Cubes. Keep going forwards on the main
track (you'll have to hit the Trackball with the spiral track to make the next
platform appear). You'll eventually geto the a locked battle with 4 Goombas, 6
Hammer Bros, and 2 Bullet Bills - use the horizontal-tracked vertically-moving
Trackball to hurt everything easily. You'll get a Stock Ball at the end, as
well as another BC chasm challenge (not really).
Area 3 is a platform moving up a canyon that keep dropping Goombas and Hammer
Bros. on you. You'll also see some Bullet Bills, as well as a free trophy on
the right side. The door at the top leads to a Launch Sleigh at the top of a
waterfall. Watch the Jyks as you fall down. There will be a hidden door on the
left side - enter it for a Blue Cube and an Orange Cube. Keep on falling down
the waterfall until you get into a locked battle with 3 Goombas and 2 Giant
Goombas.
The Kongs will rejoice from finding the bananas, but Bowser spoils the party.
Diddy goes all like "you want some?!", but DK punches him away from the Dark
Cannon blast, taking it himself. Diddy flies away.
Current party members: Mario, Pit; Kirby, a princess; Diddy
Stage 5: Cross Country (The Plain)
You start with Mario and Pit in a plain. Bit of a plot hole here, eh? Ah well.
Destroy the Borboras you see, watch for Primids and Boom Primids, and beat up
the Feyesh. Next, you'll see your first Tickens. After you've pruned them, bust
down the massive breakable wall. There's a Cube of some sort above the right
part of the wall (it's off the screen, so I don't know its colour - likely
Orange, they're always hidden better). Go on to find a corridor that forces you
to run quickly courtesy of a moving wall. Therefore, you must beware of the
Jyks, pits, and Poppants. There's also a Blue Cube here (just above a Jyk). The
end of the hallway will drop down into another. When you see a vertical shaft
in the second hallway, make your way up it - it may take Mario six walljumps,
but it hides a room full of breakable bloks that holds three stickers, a Heart
Container, and an Orange Cube. (There is a pit in the middle, so watch out.)
Head back onto the main path to enter a door guarded by a Borboras. The next
platform you see will take off, readying a locked battle with 4 Primids, 1 Boom
Primid, and 2 Spaaks. You then have a second locked battle against 8 Fire
Primids, and finally a third versus 2 Boom Primids, 2 Fire Primids, 2 Glunders,
and 2 Borborai. (Yes, I am forcing that pluralization to exist.) Once you're
done all that, a Heart Container will appear. Then when the platform docks, you
get yet another locked battle (ARGH!) against 2 Primids, 5 Fire Primids, 3
Spaaks, and 2 Borborai.
Once all that stuff is over, Pit and Mario meet up with and fail at hurting the
Ancient Misister. He just flies away.
Current party members: Mario, Pit; Kirby, a princess; Diddy
Stage 6: The Fur Flies In The Ozone (The Lake)
Diddy's rompin' through the jungle, having recovered from getting chucked. He
comes to a clearing at a lakeside and sees a crashed Arwing. Unfortunately,
Raquaza pops out of the lake and shoots at the ship, causing it to catch fire.
Diddy is grabbed by the Pokemon but saved by Fox. It's a boss battle now!
Rayquaza knows the following moves:
Dragon Pulse: A blue ball of energy. Fox can easily reflect it. It can be fired
at two angles: one that blows up when it hits the ground, and one that is
horizontal and covered the whole ground. Doesn't make much of a difference.
Dragon Rush: Rayquaza dives under your feet. Easy to avoid, just jump.
Extremespeed: Flies into the air and comes back in from the side, doing damage.
Some characters can crouch under the attack, but jumping is better. At low
health he'll do three passes in a row.
Dig: Dives underground and pops back out. Like Extremespeed, can be done three
times in a row at low health.
Fly: Flies up and dives straight down. Like the inverse of Dig.
Iron Tail: A tail swipe. Covers a good range but is grounded.
Thunder: Forms a circular shape and drops lightning on you. The circular shape
can also do electric damage on contact. This move cannot KO you, but it can
easily deal 20%+ damage, 30%+ on higher difficulties. Shield or dodge sideways.
Glare: When you see Rayquaza's eyes shine, move. About a second later, wherever
you were at the time will explode.
Once that's over, Diddy convinces Fox to help him save DK. This level is
interesting: you need to flip between "halves" to work your way through. First,
switch sides by entering the yellow door. Break the blocks on the right,
flatten the Goombas and Paratroopas, and watch for the Hammer Bros. Under a
ramp will be a blue door (back to the first side), so take it. Go left to find
Goombas, Auroros, and an Orange Cube. Then go right and down the hole (there're
Paratroopas in the hole). Beat the Hammer Bros. and Goomba at the bottom and
use the door.
Woah...dark, eh? You may have seen a bomb block above your head before the door
closed; bust it to clear the room. Hit the Blue Cube on the upper right for a
Maxim Tomato, then move to the right and up. There will be platforms and a
ladder guarded by Hammer Bros, plus a Borboras at the top left side. Pass/kill
the Borboras, get through the Auroros and Giant Goomba, and enter the blue
door. (There's no need to go right, there's just Auroros and a Giant Goomba.)
Watch the Towtows (I suggest winding up a big one as they sleep). Break the
blocks and avoid/eliminate the third Towtow and enter the red door.
There's Bucculi around here, so watch your step! And green Mites. Do not enter
the top red door since the floor there is red-hot. Instead, go straight (past
the yellow door) and get the Blue Cube, which contains a Stock Ball. Then go
back and through the yellow door. The red door up there leads to the same fire-
floor room, so go right. There will be a dead end where you'll have a locked
battle against 6 Goombas and 1 Giant Goomba. Hit the bomb block that appears to
cause the nearby ceiling to crack. Go through the blue door to the other side,
where the crack in the ceiling is instead a full passageway. Hit the switch to
empty the fire-floor from both sides. The pit will house a Towtow on the blue-
doored side (enter a yellow door). Beat it to open a red door and enter it.
Now you're on a raft going down a river. During the ride, 2 Goombas and 3
Paratroopas will appear that you should get rid of. A Blue Cube along the way
will hold a Beamsword. The first platform you see with have a Hammer Bro. and a
Trackball to kill it with. After that, avoid the Hydro Jyk and enter the
floating red door. Use the Trackballs to collect the Blue Cube with a Stock
Ball and the Orange Cube. Back out on the raft, Bullet Bills will start
shooting at you. Then a Giant Goomba will join the party, follwed by an Orange
Cube and a second GG. Then the river ends.
You're on land now. Head right and destroy the Goombas, Koopas, and
Paratroopas. There's also some Hammer Bros. A hole in the ground will house a
Blue Cube containing two Maxims. Continue on and get in the Barrel Cannon.
Zoinks! Bowser attacks! But he's all purple...Destroy him anyway! This is your
first battle against a Smasher, so it's regular Smash Bros. rules. He has one
stock. Also, for reasons unknown, your stock will be reset here to four. Oh
well...
Diddy will be happy he beat Bowser. Too bad he disintegrates into Shadow Bugs.
The real Bowser shoots the Dark Cannon at Fox and Diddy, who escape.
Current party members: Mario, Pit; Kirby, a princess; Diddy, Fox
Stage 7: Dark Hits Psychic...It's Super Effective! (The Ruined Zoo)
[in progress]
C++++++++C [allstar] C
+ALL-STAR++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
C++++++++C C
In this mode, you pick your character and must defeat every character in the
game with one life and only three chances to recover damage. Sound hard? Well,
it is.
Here's how it works: After every battle, you'll get dropped off at the Rest
Station. Here you'll see a billboard of who you'll face in the next battle, as
well as three 0% Heart Containers. While most HCs only replenish 100% damage,
these guys will reset your damage to 0%. The catch, of course, is that you only
get three throughout the whole challenge (5 in co-op mode). Step into the light
in the middle of the room to move on to the next battle.
The order in which you face your opponents is decided based on the order of
release of each universe in Smash Bros. (Japan-wise). This is the order:
Battle 1: Mr. Game & Watch
Battle 2: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser
Battle 3: DK, Diddy
Battle 4: Ice Climbers
Battle 5: R.O.B.
Battle 6: Link, Toon Link, Zelda/Sheik, Ganondorf
Battle 7: Samus/ZSS
Battle 8: Pit
Battle 9: Snake
Battle 10: Ness, Lucas
Battle 11: Marth, Ike
Battle 12: Yoshi
Battle 13: C. Falcon
Battle 14: Sonic
Battle 15: Kirby, Meta Knight, Dedede
Battle 16: Fox, Falco, Wolf
Battle 17: Wario
Battle 18: Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pokemon Trainer, Lucario
Battle 19: Olimar (2 in co-op)
Note that you can face either Zelda or Sheik, but not both. Same with Samus and
ZSS. But you must face all three of PT's Pokemon.
Although the battles are predetermined, the stages (a random stage from the
universe that's not a Past Stage) and the order of characters (you only ever
fight two people at a time) are not.
D++++++D [events*] D
+EVENTS++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
D++++++D D
Yep, Event Mode is back. These matches have specific, preset conditions you
have to fight through to win. Maybe you have to beat your opponent in a certain
way, or maybe your damage meter is inflated, or maybe you're hit with facing 5
dudes at once. Also, you often have no choice over your character. There are
two sets of Events this time, one for a single player and one (shorter) for
co-op play. And the final change to this mode is that you can set the relative
difficulty level at Easy, Normal, or Hard. Don't think that Event 40 on Easy is
necessarily easier than Event 1 on Hard, but there is a difference, and your
scores are saved seperately for each difficulty.
i~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~i [1events] i
$SINGLE-PLAYER EVENTS$~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$
i~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~i i
Some call these the "standard" set of events, since Event Mode is technically a
single-player mode.
Event 1: Two Trouble Kings
You: Mario (1 stock)
Enemy: Bowser (1), Dedede (1)
Stage: Delfino Plaza
SSBM players will recognize the name (SSBMev1 Trouble King, SSBMev42 Trouble
King 2). In any case, this event has no funny circumstances, although you are
playing a two-on-one.
Event 2: Landmaster Ignition
You: Fox (1)
Enemy: Meta Knight, Sheik
Stage: Corneria
Get as many KOs with Fox's Landmaster as you can. (You don't need to break any
Smash Balls, you're permanently ready for it.) Simple as that.
Event 3: Pink Ball Repulsion
You: Meta Knight (2)
Enemy: Kirby (1)
Stage: Battleship Halberd
Just KO kirby before the platform lands on the Halberd. Easy.
Event 4: Cleaning House in Skyworld
You: Pit (1)
Enemy: Wario (3)
Stage: Skyworld
The first "objective" event. You need to destroy all the breakable platforms.
Once you do, you win. Wario can help out, but he can also be a bother, so just
ignore him.
Event 5: Become The Champion!
You: Pokemon Trainer (3)
Enemy: Pokemon Trainer (3)
Stage: Pokemon Stadium 2
This is just a normal fight.
Event 6: Super Bowser Bros.
You: Bowser (1)
Enemy: Mario, Mario, Mario
Stage: Mushroomy Kingdom
Your high score is measured in KOs here, but the goal is to survive one lap of
the scrolling-faster-than-usual stage. The difficulty level you choose will
affect exactly how fast the stage moves.
Event 7: Diddy Kong Panic
You: DK (1)
Enemy: Diddy x 15 (1 each)
Stage: Mario Circuit
The heck? You'll be taking on three Diddys at a time, each one having eaten two
Poison Mushrooms before the fight. Use low attacks and go for items; the brats
are hard to hit since DK is so big.
Event 8: Go! Triple Finish!
You: Pikachu (2)
Enemy: Squirtle (1), Ivysaur (1), Charizard (1)
Stage: Pokemon Stadium
Yes, it's a 3-on-1. Not as bad as it sounds, since like most early Events, the
enemy's weights have been lowered a bit.
Event 9: The Monster Beneath The Earth
You: Ike (1)
Enemy: Diddy (1), Diddy (1)[, DK (1)]
Stage: Castle Siege
You'll only see the two Diddys when the match starts. They tend to run away and
shoot peanuts and other irritating things, since Ike is slow. KO the Diddys and
you win. But if you don't KO them before the stage gets down to the lava-filled
dungeon, a colossal DK appears, and you'll have to beat him too.
Event 10: All-Star Battle Regulars
You: Choose (2)
Enemy: Mario (1), DK (1), Link (1), Samus (1), Yoshi (1), Kirby (1), Fox (1),
Pikachu (1)
Stage: Final Destination
Two at a time, you must defeat the Original Eight. You get two lives to take
off eight stocks, and you can choose your character.
Event 11: Yoshi's Rainbow
You: Ice Climbers (1)
Enemy: Yoshi x 6 (1 each)
Stage: Rainbow Cruise
If you KO the Yoshis in the wrong order, you fail the event. The order is this:
red, pink, yellow, green, light blue, blue. You face two at a time. The Yoshis
are pretty darn smart, and will either bunch up or have the target run away
while the non-target attacks you. A throwback to the Yoshi Rainbow bonus in
SSB64 (50,000!), which you get if you KO the 18 Yoshis in the order they
appear.
Event 12: Sleeping In The Eggs
You: Yoshi (1)
Enemy: Kirby, Pikachu
Stage: Yoshi's Island
I don't like this event because it's boring. You just have to put Kirby and
Pikachu in eggs at the same time (using the Neutral B).
Event 13: Dragoon Strike
You: Kirby (1)
Enemy: Wario (1), Wario (1), Wario (1)
Stage: Battleship Halberd
Just collect the Dragoon parts and kill the Warios. They don't do much except
get in the way, so this should be cake. I am assuming that KO'ing them normally
(that is, without the Dragoon) either doesn't count or is not possible.
Event 14: Sproutage of the Flower Pikmin
You: Olimar (1)
Enemy: Pikachu, Pokemon Trainer
Stage: Distant Planet
You clear the event where there are six flower Pikmin on the stage. So, pick
six Pikmin to start the event and then dodge everything until your dudes bloom.
Avoid attacking with Pikmin, since they can be hurt when they're out of the
line. They only way to outright fail is to be KO'd.
Event 15: The Hammer of the King
You: Dedede (1), Dedede (A1), Dedede (A1)
Enemy: Dedede (1)
Stage: Smashville
Confused? You see, you're Dedede with two Dedede computer allies. And your
enemy (who's also Dedede) is both giant and metal.
Event 16: Power Suit ON!
You: Zero Suit Samus (2)
Enemy: ZSS (2), ZSS (2)
Stage: Frigate Orpheon
You win this event by using your Final Smash. It doesn't matter if an enemy
gets one off first (although it may be detrimental to your high score), and
KO'ing them is not necessary.
Event 17: Super Waterfall Climb
You: Zelda (1)
Enemy: Ice Climbers, Ice Climbers
Stage: Rumble Falls
Just like Super Bowser Bros., you need to survive one lap of the stage. Thing
is, it's vertical this time. And you're Zelda, who's not known for her jumping
ability. While your high score is measured in KOs, I recommend you ignore the
enemies completely. And the difficulty level determines what kind of blindingly
fast the stage moves at: on Easy and Normal, you have enough time to turn into
Sheik to make it easier, but on Hard there's no chance to.
Event 18: Dark Link Duel
You: Link (200HP)
Enemy: Link (200HP)
Stage: Bridge of Eldin
Dark Link has never been less than annoying in the Zelda series, and this is no
exception. In case you haven't figured it out by now, this is a Stamina match.
The stage hazard is also turned off here, so the only goal is to deal 200
damage to the opponent as fast a possible. Of course, if you can get off a
cheap throw and side blast line KO, that's fine.
Event 19: Wario Bros.
You: Wario (2)
Enemy: Mario (2), Luigi (2)
Stage: Mario Bros.
Just a normal battle here.
Event 20: All-Star Battle X 1
You: Choose (2)
Enemy: Wario (1), Meta Knight (1), Pit (1), ZSS (1), Olimar (1), Lucas (1),
Diddy (1), Pokemon Trainer (1)
Stage: Battlefield
PT counts as a single fighter here, just so ya know. Otherwise it's the same as
Event 10.
Event 21: Visit to Onett
You: Lucas (2)
Enemy: Ness (2)
Stage: Onett
A simple battle. Need I say more?
Event 22: Monkeys Unite!
You: Diddy (2), DK (A2)
Enemy: Sheik (2), Lucario (2)
Stage: Rumble Falls
Just a note: Your DK ally is a giant. Doesn't make him any more useful.
Event 23: Molten Norfair
You: Samus (2)
Enemy: Fox, C. Falcon
Stage: Norfair
Everyone starts with 300% damage and the goal is to enter the safety capsule
when the lava wave appears. Since the lava will KO you at 300%, not to metion
the enemies, you need to dodge well and protect yourself when inside the
capsule.
Event 24: Come On, Blue Falcon
You: C. Falcon
Enemy: R.O.B. (1), R.O.B. (1)
Stage: Port Town Aero Dive
You need to use your Final Smash to KO the R.O.B.s before the stage makes one
lap around the racetrack. The Final Smash will likely KO the R.O.B.s in one
hit, so don't worry too much about racking up damage - KO'ing them in a way
that doesn't involve the Blue Falcon doesn't count (as in, he'll just come back
with 0%).
Event 25: The Aura is With Me
You: Lucario (1)
Enemy: Ness (1), Sheik (1)
Stage: Spear Pillar
Just for fun, you start at 182%. While this makes Lucario much stronger (which
is the point of the event), this also makes it very dangerous to do anything
but go on the offensive.
Event 26: The Slow and Easy Life
You: Ness (1)
Enemy: Olimar (1), Olimar (1), Olimar (1)
Stage: Smashville
The three Olimars are tiny, and you get a 2:14 time limit (because you're
trying to enjoy K.K. Slider's show which takes 2:14 or something).
Event 27: Three-Beast Carnage
You: R.O.B. (1)
Enemy: Bowser (1), Charizard (1), DK (1)
Stage: New Pork City
It's a small R.O.B. versus three MASSIVE beasts. Luckily for you, they can hit
each other.
Event 28: Flower Blooms in the Echoes
You: Peach (1)
Enemy: Olimar (1)
Stage: Hanenbow
The point here is to attack the right tree's leaves until they're all red.
Since you're Peach, the d-smash is the best option. Don't worry about Olimar,
you can even win the event if he gets KO'd.
Event 29: All-Star Semifinal Regulars
You: Choose (2)
Enemy: Luigi (1), C. Falcon (1), Ness (1), Jigglypuff (1)
Stage: Yoshi's Island (Past Stage)
The third All-Star match. The small stage makes up for the lack of opponents.
Event 30: Sonic Boom
You: Sonic (2)
Enemy: Sonic x 15 (1 each)
Stage: Green Hill Zone
Argh! Sonics everywhere! Good thing they kinda suck. As does the music.
Event 31: The Ultimate Bodyguard
You: Marth (1), Zelda (A1)
Enemy: Ganondorf (2), Ganondorf (2)
Stage: Castle Siege
Your ally Zelda is a dimwit. All she ever does is sit there and crouch. So you
gotta protect her (you lose if she's KO'd). Luckily, if you get to the
underground area of the stage, she turns into Sheik and helps out.
Event 32: Bird in Darkest Night
You: Falco (2)
Enemy: Mr. G&W (2)
Stage: Brinstar (Past Stage)
The lights go out often for this event, leaving you only able to see characters
and items. The stage (and acid, hint hint) become invisible while the lights
are down. Otherwise, it's a normal fight.
Event 33: Advent of the Evil King
You: Ganondorf (2)
Enemy: Link (1), Zelda (1), Pit (1)
Stage: Hyrule Temple
"The king of evil wants the Triforce." No duh. Too bad he's got a 1-on-3 to
contend with. When your damage gets high, go hide in the caverns.
Event 34: All-Star Battle Melee
You: Choose (2)
Enemy: Bowser (1), Peach (1), Zelda (1), Ice Climbers (1), Marth (1), G&W (1),
Falco (1), Ganondorf (1)
Stage: Pokemon Stadium (Past Stage)
The fourth all-star battle, containing the eight Melee newcomers that were
allowed to return for Brawl.
Event 35: The Visitor to Flat Zone
You: Mr. G&W (1)
Enemy: Peach (1), Toon Link (1), Jigglypuff (1)
Stage: Flat Zone 2
A standard battle. Note that your opponents are all coloured black just for
kicks.
Event 36: High-Tech Special Forces
You: Snake (2)
Enemy: C. Falcon (1), Samus (1), Wolf (1)
Stage: Shadow Moses Island
Normal battle. Enough for ya?
Event 37: The Pirate Airship
You: Toon Link (2)
Enemy: Yoshi (1), Yoshi (1)
Stage: Pirate Ship
The ship here will be constantly flung around the sky. KOing the Yoshis only
counts if they're KO'd when the ship is in the air.
Event 38: The Wolf Hunts the Fox
You: Wolf (2)
Enemy: Fox (1), Falco (1)
Stage: Lylat Cruise
A normal battle. Boring.
Event 39: All-Star Battle x 2
You: Choose (2)
Enemy: Dedede (1), Ike (1), Lucario (1), R.O.B. (1), Toon Link (1), Snake (1),
Sonic (1), Wolf (1)
Stage: Skyworld
The final all-star battle, and definately the most annoying.
Event 40: The Final Battle
You: Choose (2)
Enemy: Bowser (1), Dedede (1), Ganondorf (1)
Stage: Final Destination
A normal battle. It's not really that hard.
Event 41: The FINAL Final Battle
You: Choose (2)
Enemy: Mario (2), Snake (2), Sonic (2)
Stage: Final Destination
Despite the Mario being giant, this is a very anticlimatic standard battle.

There aren't as many 2-player events, and some are carbon copies of the
single-player events, but there are some that are quite different and
interesting.
Event 1: Two Trouble Kings
Player 1: Mario (2)
Player 2: Kirby (2)
Enemy: Bowser (1), Dedede (1)
Stage: Delfino Plaza
For all intents and purposes, this is just like the single-player version. The
only difference is P2 being Kirby.
Event 2: Master the Pokemon Tag Battle
Player 1: Pokemon Trainer (3)
Player 2: Pikachu (1)
Enemy: Pokemon Trainer (3), Pikachu (1)
Stage: Pokemon Stadium 2
A little unfair to P2, but hey, at least the teams are equal. No frills here.
Event 3: Fastest, Shortest, Sudden Death
Player 1: Yoshi (1)
Player 2: Dedede (1)
Enemy: Lucas, Pit (infinite) (1 each)
Stage: WarioWare
As the title suggests, this is played in Super Sudden Death mode. The goal is
to KO as many dudes as possible in ten seconds. Sounds easy, but it IS Sudden
Death, so you can be hit off easily yourself.
Event 4: The DK Tag Calamity
Player 1: DK
Player 2: Diddy
Enemy: DK (1), Diddy x 4 (1 each)
Stage: Mario Circuit
Here, the players and tiny and the enemies are not (the DK is actually large).
Lightning appears often here to even it out. Just make sure you get it.
Event 5: The Yoshi Team of 50
Player 1: Meta Knight (2)
Player 2: Pit (2)
Enemy: Yoshi x 50 (1 each)
Stage: Rainbow Cruise
This is highly annoying. The stage scolls slower than normal, since you need to
KO all 50 Yoshis before one lap is over. You get 4 minutes on Easy, 3 on
Medium, and 2 on Hard. It doesn't help that it takes so long to load the
Yoshis. Why are most events involving Yoshis as enemies annoying...?

Some specialist modes await in this section. Although designed for a single
player, all can be done with a second.

$BREAK THE TARGETS$~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~i i
In this mode you pick your character and get plopped into an arena where the
goal is to attack and break each of the ten targets as fast as possible.
Before I say anything else: They screwed up this mode bad. While both SSB64 and
SSBM gave each character their own target stage, Brawl makes everyone do the
same stages (there are five total).

The general theme here is to KO as many dudes as possible under different
conditions. But the opponents you face will be different from other characters:
they're the Alloys.
Red Alloy: Looks somewhat like a bodybuilder. Fights like Captain Falcon.
Blue Alloy: Looks like the Female Wireframe from SSBM, somewhat. Fights like
Zelda.
Yellow Alloy: Looks like a Geolyte from Meteos: chibi-ish, round head, horns.
Fights like Mario.
Green Alloy: Looks a little like Kirby. Fights like...guess who.
Alloys fight with non-special attacks only, and they're usually light enough to
blow them away in a single hit. Plus they can't use items or grab the edge for
some reason. Which is good, because you usually have to KO absurd numbers of
them quickly. (Note that every now and then at predetermined intervals, you
will get a Smasher as an enemy.) Here are the main rulesets:
10-Man Brawl: You win by KOing 10 Alloys. Expect a time of about 20-30 seconds.
The 10th dude is your character (so, if you're Mario, you'll face Mario as your
10th KO).
100-Man Brawl: You win by KOing 100 Alloys. This can cause some frustration,
and it's not very easy to complete. You'll face Smashers as your 25th, 50th,
75th, and 100th KOs (with the 100th being your character).
3-Minute Brawl: You win by surviving for 3 minutes. It doesn't matter how many
KOs you make, you'll still win. The high score is measured in KOs though. You
get a Smasher every 25 KOs.
15-Minute Brawl: You win by surviving for 15 minutes. This really causes
headaches, and the more dudes you KO, the harder they get. Many people who only
care about completing it hammer on DK's Down+B the whole time, which doesn't
always work. You get a Smasher every 25 KOs.
Endless Brawl: You can't win. You just KO dudes until you're KO'd, and the
number of KOs you get is the high score. You get a Smasher every 25 KOs.
Cruel Brawl: This is basically Endless with two changes: there are no items,
and the Alloys are extremely difficult to KO and can KO you easily. KOing even
5 dudes is very hard.

This is arguably the crux of the game. Anywhere from one to four people can
choose their character, pick a stage, and let loose. Truthfully, there's not
much to say about this mode. But here are some options you can alter:
Teams: You can easily turn a free-for-all into a 2-on-2, 2-on-1, 3-on-1, or
even a 2-on-1-on-1 fight. There are three teams avaliable: red, blue, and
green. An important option is that of team attack: if turned on, team members
will be able to hurt each other. Also, even if team attack is off, things like
Bob-ombs and Motion Sensor Bombs can still hurt teammates. If you KO a team
member, it's called an SD. This is also the only way you can cause Team Healers
to work properly.
Handicaps: In previous games, you could make your characters heavier or lighter
to even the playing field. This time, a handicap changes your starting
percentage. For example, if you're super good and you play a newbie, you could
set your handicap at 80% to give them a chance. This basically makes it so that
at the start of the match, and every time you're KO'd, your percentage starts
at 80% instead of 0%. You can set any multiple of 10 for your handicap. The
game also has an auto handicap function: when you win a match, your handicap
percentage rises.

Just as it says on the can, you can play SSBB online. You'll need Friend Codes
to get the most out of it, but you can just jump in and beat people up if you
want to.
A note about disconnecting: If a player quits, then their character immediately
flips to computer control.
If you don't feel like (or are bad at) playing, then you can hop into Spectator
Mode to see a constant stream of pre-recorded matches. What happens is this: if
the Wiis of all the players in a match are set to send matches to Nintendo, the
match is avaliable for watching. Those who go into Spectator Mode are sent a
match to watch. You can bet coins on the matches, and even if you lose, you get
some stickers.

Guess what? We're not done yet! That's right, there's still more content this
massive game has to offer! Since these things don't really fit in elsewhere,
they get their own section. Be sure to at least try them all!

In previous games, you could simply rotate the camera around your character
while the game is paused. And Camera Mode was limited to a certain special
battle. But this time, you can pull out your virtual camera and take a picture
at any time while the game's paused.
Once you've taken a snapshot, you can save it to your Wii or an SD card. Shots
usually take up 1 Wii Block. You can send snapshots to other people, as well.
Because you can save onto SD cards, you can then have fun with the pictures on
the Wii's Photo Channel, or stick them on your computer, or even print them!
(Once you download the bin2jpg program floating around the Internet.)

B+++++++++++++B B
Welcome to the Stage Builder! This mini-application allows you to create an
almost infinite amount of stages. Here are the basic steps for making your own
locations:
1. Select a size. You can pick small, medium, and large sizes.
2. Choose a theme. This can affect what parts you can use.
3. Build stuff!
4. Test the stage.
5. Name and save.
Stages you made can be saved to your Wii or an SD card, and you can save as
many as you want. And one more thing - you can send stages to Nintendo! Every
day, a "Stage Of The Day" will be sent to you. These stages are picked from the
masses of stages sent to Nintendo. Each daily stage is a one-off, so if you
miss it, you lose.

This game can be customized out the wazoo. Here's a big ol' list of what you
can modify to your liking:
Custom Controls:
A simple yet powerful addition. This feature lets you tell any button to do
anything in any control scheme. Play Nunchuk and don't want grabbing on A+B?
Done. Wanna switch your Control Stick and C-stick? You can. Sick of stick-
jumping? Turn it off and rely on button-jumping. Wanna trigger a Smash Attack
in Nunchuk mode by shaking the Wiimote? You can. Each player name can save one
of each of the different controller's button maps. And you can even save the
setting onto your Wiimote and take them elsewhere.
Widescreen:
Every game and their dog has this nowadays. You don't need to know any
technical babble here, though: just switch displays until the provided circle
is...circular (as opposed to stretched or squished).
HOPE YOU FIND IT USEFUL,
THANK YOU.
