Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Japanese: 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズＸ Great Fray Smash Brothers X) is the third installment of the Super Smash Bros. series, released on the Wii in early 2008. As with previous installments, characters from various Nintendo video games will do battle with each other. The game allows the use of the Nintendo GameCube controller, the Wii Remote alone, the Nunchuck + Remote control scheme, and the Wii Classic Controller. Non-Nintendo characters Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog are also featured in the game.
Several game mechanics have been introduced into the sequel, like the ability to crawl, the existence of containers with wheels, and the ability of each character to perform an unusually powerful signature move called Final Smash. The game also built on Melee's one-player modes, with the Adventure Mode being expanded into a complete side-scrolling game called The Subspace Emissary. This mode features a story told through cutscenes which were co-written by Kazushige Nojima, who is best known as the scenario writer for Final Fantasy VII.
The game has 39 playable characters, including transformations, which is an increase of 13 from Melee. Pikachu and Jigglypuff return as playable Pokémon but Pichu and Mewtwo were both cut from the roster. Pikachu's Final Smash is Volt Tackle and Jigglypuff's Final Smash is Puff Up.
A new character present in the starting lineup is a Pokémon Trainer, whose character design is based on the Generation III Red. In a first for the series, he only appears in the background and his Pokémon do the actual fighting. His team is comprised of Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard, which he cycles through in that order with his Down Special move, Pokémon Change. Squirtle knows Waterfall, Water Gun, and Withdraw, Ivysaur knows Bullet Seed, Razor Leaf, and Vine Whip, and Charizard knows Flamethrower, Fly, and Rock Smash. In addition, Charizard has the ability to glide. The Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash is Triple Finish.
The other new playable character in the game is Lucario, who was accidently revealed to be a playable character in a commercial released ten days before the game. When browsing through the sticker book, the icons at the bottom of the screen list the playable characters that can use it, so Groudon's sticker naturally showed Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Pokémon Trainer and Lucario. Lucario is unlocked by completing the five target tests, playing 100 VS matches or simply meeting it in the Subspace Emissary. Lucario's Final Smash is Aura Storm.
The Poké Ball returns as an item, providing the debut of many Generation III and Generation IV Pokémon to the series. It is joined by the Assist Trophy, which uses the same concept to bring characters from other franchises into the fray.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl became the seventh game to ever receive a perfect score from Famitsu.
