Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Today I’m reviewing Super Smash Brothers Brawl!

This is the sequel to Super Smash Brothers Melee, one of the best games ever. Super Smash Bros. Brawl has 100% better graphics, characters, and stages. There is even a choice to make your own stages! Click more to see hints on this game, and more on why it’s so great!

 

                                     

 Super Smash Brothers Brawl includes 14 unlockable characters and that isn’t including the 21 you start with! That makes 35 characters in Brawl, much more than was in Melee.

Sonic is a new character in Brawl, as many fans wanted him in so badly. I prefer using Sonic, as his dodge is extremely fast and he can escape enemies easily.

Snake, Meta Knight, Lucario, and Toon Link, just to name a few, also join the Brawl. Sadly, Toon Link replaces Young Link from Melee and Lucario replaces Mewtwo, but, thankfully, Lucario and Toon Link are both fairly powerful.

Here’s a list of all the unlockable characters! The number after the method of unlocking the character shows the number of brawls you have to play in to unlock them if you don’t want to use the other way..

• Captain Falcon- Complete Classic Mode in twelve minutes or less.   70
• Falco- Complete 100-Man Brawl. 50  
• Ganondorf - Complete Classic Mode on Hard difficulty using either Zelda or Link.   200
• Jigglypuff- Complete Classic Mode or complete Event Match #20.   350
• Lucario- Defeat Lucario in Adventure Mode, or complete five Target Tests.   100
• Luigi- Complete Classic Mode using no continues.   22
• Marth- Complete Classic Mode.   10  
• Mr. Game & Watch- Complete Target Smash with 30 different characters. 250
• Ness- Reflect ten projectiles in battle. 5
• R.O.B. - Get 250 different trophies.   160
• Snake- Play fifteen matches on Shadow Moses Island.   130
• Sonic- Complete Classic Mode with ten different characters or brawl for ten total hours.   300
• Toon Link- Clear Subspace Emissary and then clear Classic mode with anyone, or go back into the Forest level in the Subspace Emissary and find a secret door there.   400
• Wolf- Clear Subspace Emissary, and then complete Boss Battle Mode using Fox or Falco, or go back into the Ruins level in the Subspace Emissary and find a secret door right after you fall down a large pit.   450

          

Also, all of these characters can be optionally unlocked by completing the Subspace Emissary, except for Toon Link and Wolf. You actually can unlock them in the Emissary, but it requires backtracking, described above.

 

Here are some screenshots taken in-game!

This picture was taken in the first level of Adventure Mode, where you have to save Zelda and Princess Peach from Petey Pirannah, from the Mario series.

 

The new Stage Builder option, shown below, allows you to make you very own brawling arenas!

Cool, huh

The picture below (sorry about the fuzziness) shows the 21 characters available at the beginning of the game — Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus/Zero Suit Samus, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu, Diddy Kong, Shiek/Zelda, Pit, Meta Knight, Pokemon Trainer (Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard), Ike, Peach, Yoshi, Ice Climbers, King Dedede, Bowser, Wario, Olimar, and Lucas.

The Subspace Emissary is a new addition to Brawl, replacing Adventure Mode in Melee. It is basically the storyline to the game, which it has, unlike Melee. In the Subspace Emissary, you control all of the characters, and in the sequences of the game, it shows them all meet each other through cutscenes. For example, King Dedede and Bowser meet at one time in the game, and right before they fight, the cutscene will stop and you can battle Bowser yourself. However, the Subspace Emissary does not just include brawls. When the characters are traveling or trying to escape someplace, you will have to do that for them. However, the format is still the same not-completely-3D look as it is in battles.

Next week I will review or give hints on any game, just post a comment here telling me which one you would like me to review! Thanks for coming!
