while ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Adventure Mode was replaced with the new Subspace Emissary 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)|''EarthBound'' series]] fighter, being [[Lucas]], the protagonist of ''[[Mother 3]]'', who is available from the start. Brawl also included a new EarthBound series stage: [[New Pork City]], which is also from ''Mother 3''.

''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]] appears as a boss in this mode, while the [[King Statue]] appears as a hazard.

Another mode, known as [[smashwiki:Masterpieces|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.

In terms of representing the [[EarthBound (series)|''EarthBound'' series]], ''Brawl''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s main focus is on [[Mother 3]]. ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' adds numerous ''EarthBound''-themed elements: Lucas was added as a newcomer alongside the New Pork City stage from ''Mother 3''. Additionally, Jeff was added as an [[smashwiki:Assist Trophy|Assist Trophy]].
