Super Smash Bros. Brawl (大乱闘 スマッシュ ブラザーズ X Great Fray Smash Bros. X), is the third game in the Super Smash Bros. series released in 2008. Released for the Nintendo Wii, it was one of the most anticipated games for the Wii, mostly due to delays in its release. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is is also the first game in the series to feature non-Nintendo characters, namely Sonic and Snake.

Brawl introduced Final Smashes, a powerful finishing move for each character that was going to be in the original Super Smash Bros. but was cut due to hardware limitations. Brawl brings back the Classic and All-Star modes, while Melee's Adventure Mode was replaced with the new Subspace Emissarry story mode.

There are 39 playable characters in the game, including transformations, 11 more than Melee. Ness from EarthBound returns as a playable character, this time he is once again an unlockable fighter, and the Onett stage returns from Melee.

Brawl also introduced a new EarthBound series fighter, being Lucas, the protagonist of Mother 3. Unlike Ness, Lucas is available from the start. Brawl also included a new EarthBound series stage: New Pork City, which is also from Mother 3.

Game modes

Super Smash Bros. Brawl featured some modes that were unavailable in the last two games, in addition to the older modes. Classic Mode returns and is kept largely the same. The Adventure Mode, however, was redesigned into a new adventure called the Subspace Emissary, which featured all but three of the playable characters and an actual plot. Porky and his statue appear as bosses in this mode.

Another mode, known as Masterpieces, allowed players to play demos of games from previous systems, such as Super Metroid and Super Mario Bros. 2. EarthBound was a demo in the Japanese version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl but was removed from the English version due to being a commercial failure outside Japan at the time.

EarthBound representation

In terms of representating the EarthBound series, Brawl's main focus is on Mother 3. Super Smash Bros. Brawl adds numerous EarthBound themed elements: Lucas was added as a newcomer and along game the New Pork City from Mother 3. Also Jeff was added as an Assist Trophy.
