{{nihongo title|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|大乱闘 スマッシュ ブラザーズ X|Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu Ekkusu|Great Fray Smash Brothers X}} is a [[versus fighting game|fighting game]] for [[Nintendo]]'s newest [[video game console|console]], the [[Wii]]. The third iteration of the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], it has been confirmed that it will support some [[computer network|network]] features and [[Internet]] play ([[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi]]).<ref name="E³ 2005">{{cite web|last=Casamassina |first=Matt |authorlink=Matt Casamassina |coauthors= | date=[[2005-05-17]] |url=http://wii.ign.com/articles/670/670552p1.html |title=E³ 2005: ''Smash Bros.''

Its official trailer was first unveiled at [[E³]] [[2006]]. It is currently slated for release sometime in [[2007]].

==Confirmed charactersNitpick ==

<!--

Do not add unconfirmed characters, including characters taken for granted such as Yoshi, Peach, Jigglypuff, and Donkey Kong.

I just made a modification to the text, and my justification is just a little bit too large for the edit summary. Basically, the article contained the following text: "Each district comprised one state, except for the districts of Maine and Kentucky, which at the time were part of Massachusetts and Virginia, respectively." Well, that's not quite true: the districts of Massachusetts and Virginia didn't comprise one state either. So I flipped it around: all of the states except two comprised one district. I then expanded on how Massachusetts and Virginia were divided.

Note that characters are listed ALPHABETICALLY for accessibility-->

The Judiciary Act of 1789 never fulfilled its Constitutional needs. Congress was given no responsibilty for legislation affecting the Supreme Court. They could pass legislation that could be ratified by the States and incorporated into the Constitution as an Amendment. They did this with the Bill of Rights, the first Ten Amendments. In addition, there is no vote recorded by the House of Representatives on official documents before it was given to President Washington to sign. Since an act of Congress cannot exceed powers given to it except by Amendment, all decisions rendered by an illegal court must be null and void and a Constitutional Amendment must be pursued regarding the composition of the Supreme Court.

===Fox McCloud===

The Constitution also states that the Supreme Court shall hear ALL cases involving violation of the Constitution. The Congressional law passed through the efforts of Chief Justice Taft is also null and void for Congress has no power to change any word in the Constitution without use of the Amendment procedure.

{{main|Fox McCloud}}

It is amazing that none of the "experts" regarding Constitutional law ever brought these facts to light.

{{nihongo|'''Fox McCloud'''|フォックス・マクラウド|Fokkusu Makuraudo}} is the main protagonist of the ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox series]]''. He appears in both ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', and returns in ''Brawl'' as confirmed on [[November 3]], 2006, the first day of the [[2006 Nintendo World Tour|Nintendo World Tour]].<ref name="fox">[http://wii.ign.com/articles/743/743808p1.html Smash Bros. Invades Japan] ''IGN.com''. URL accessed November 2, 2006.</ref> Little information has been released about Fox as of yet, but it is known that he will use his blaster as in the previous ''Smash Bros.'' games, which he now keeps out at all times, rather than drawing it to shoot and putting it away afterward. Whether this will affect his moveset is unknown. Fox's outfit in ''Brawl'' is similar, though not identical, to his Star Fox Command design. <ref name="foxlook">[http://www.smashbros.com/en/pics/pic15.html Fox's New Look] ''Smashbros.com''.

===Kirby===

{{main|Kirby (Nintendo)}}

{{nihongo|'''Kirby'''|カービィ|Kābī}} is the star of the ''Kirby'' series, first appearing in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' for the [[Game Boy]]. Kirby appears in both the original ''Smash Bros.'' and ''Melee''. Just like in his games, Kirby has the ability to inhale his opponents and copy an ability from them, as well as resemble them in appearance. This ability gives Kirby a wide range of possible moves. As seen in the [[E³]] trailer, Kirby's "Super Smash" move is his "Cook" power from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', which involves boiling enemies in a pot.

===Link===

{{main|Link (character)}}

{{nihongo|'''Link'''|リンク|Rinku}}, the protagonist of [[The Legend of Zelda series|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]], is a legendary Hylian hero who appears in both previous ''Smash Bros.'' games. Link's swordplay is featured in the [[E³]] trailer, as well as his Super Smash attack, in which he slashes at his opponent while he or she is trapped between two Triforces (see below). Link appears in a more detailed and realistic fashion in ''Brawl'', as he does in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. The [[Master Sword]] serves as Link's primary weapon in ''Brawl''.

===Mario===

{{main|Mario}}

{{nihongo|'''Mario'''|マリオ}} is Nintendo's official mascot as well as the star of his own [[Super Mario series|series of games]]. He is one of the most well known video game characters, and is present in the first and second ''Smash Bros.'' games. Mario's signature fireball is shown in the [[E³]] trailer, as well as his new Super Smash move, where he projects a massive blast of fire that moves across the entire stage.

===Meta Knight===

{{main|Meta Knight}}

{{nihongo|'''Meta Knight'''|メタナイト|Meta Naito}} is a recurring enemy of the ''Kirby'' series, and is the second of the series after Kirby to become a ''Super Smash Bros.'' fighter. In the trailer shown at [[E³]] 2006, he can be seen performing quick sword slashes and blocking an attack with his cloak, which blends into the background. He is also shown jumping multiple times in midair, an ability held previously only by Kirby and [[Jigglypuff]] in the first two '' Smash Bros.'' games. During the [[E³]] trailer, Meta Knight's wings only appear while he is jumping in midair. Meta Knight is also able to glide in air as shown in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#External Links|Nintendo World trailer]]. His symbol is the same as Kirby's, a warpstar.<ref name="meta"> [http://www.smashbros.com/en/characters/index.html Meta Knight bio] ''Smashbros.com''. URL Accessed May 27, 2006.</ref> As stated in his Toukouken, ''Brawl''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> director, [[Masahiro Sakurai]], however, plans to make Meta Knight's fanfare more of a "rock version" of Kirby's.<ref name="metatwo">{{cite web|url=http://www.smashbros.com/jp/toukou/bn/no19_2.html |title=Toukouken #250, Sakurai on Meta Knight's Fanfare ''Smashbros.com''.|language=Japanese |acessdate=URL Accessed December 21, 2006.}}</ref>

===Pikachu===

{{main|Pikachu}}

<!-- If you have a source that says, in English, that Pikachu's "Super Smash" is Raichu, then please cite it. Otherwise, it IS fan speculation. -->

{{nihongo|'''Pikachu'''|ピカチュウ|Pikachū}} is the famous and popular mascot in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series. It became iconic in the [[Pokémon (anime)|''Pokémon'' anime]]. Pikachu's first video game appearances were in [[Pokémon Red and Blue|''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'']] for the original [[Game Boy]] and then as the player's starting Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon Yellow]]'' for the [[Game Boy Color]]. Since then, it has been in every ''Pokémon'' video game made to date. Pikachu’s ''Super Smash Bros.'' attacks are based on its own [[Pokémon type#Electric-type|Electric attacks]] and other physical attacks in the ''Pokémon'' series.

===Pit===

{{main|Pit (Kid Icarus)}}

{{nihongo|'''Pit'''|ピット|Pitto}}, the savior of the ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' series, head of the royal bodyguards for the goddess Palutena, makes his first playable appearance since the 1987 classic Kid Icarus & 1991's Game Boy game ''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]''. He is shown in the [[E³]] trailer fighting again with the Sacred Bow of Palutena, which has the ability to separate into two short blades for close-range combat (a feature nonexistent in the ''Kid Icarus'' games). On Pit’s left arm rests a pair of glowing rings, which expand onto the Sacred Bow when he prepares to fire Light Arrows; the rings retract onto his arm after use. Pit is also shown in the trailer jumping multiple times midair as Meta Knight does. Pit’s symbol is a bow and arrow tilted at an angle.<ref name="pit"> [http://www.smashbros.com/en/characters/chara2/index.html Pit bio] ''Smashbros.com''. URL Accessed [[May 27]], [[2006]].</ref>

===Samus Aran===

{{main|Samus Aran}}

<!--

READ THIS ALL EDITORS:

PLEASE do not speculate on how Samus will change into Zero Suit Samus. We do not know the specifics of it at this time. It could be like Zelda/Sheik, it could be related to her Super Smash attack, or they could still be separate characters on the menu; we just don't know yet. The wording on the official site is too vague to say for certain, and the trailer is not a gameplay video.

-->

{{nihongo|'''Samus Aran'''|サムス・アラン|Samusu Aran}} is the heroine of the [[Metroid series|''Metroid'']] series. She returns in ''Brawl'', this time in her [[Items in the Metroid series#Power Suit|Power Suit]] ''and'' as Zero Suit Samus, based on her unsuited form from ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]''. The official ''Brawl'' website states that Samus will remove her Power Suit "under certain conditions", but the means of which have not been released<!-- Do NOT edit this until the info is given; see the note above -->. Samus's "Super Smash" move could be the massive laser blast she projects at Meta Knight and Pit in the [[E³]] trailer - however, the aura surrounding Mario, Link and Kirby while they perform their super attacks is not present around Samus while she performs this attack. In the [[E³]] and Nintendo World trailers, Zero Suit Samus is shown wielding a gun that can transform into a laser whip.<ref name="sam">[http://www.smashbros.com/en/characters/chara3/index.html Zero Suit Samus bio] ''Smashbros.com''. URL Accessed May 27, 2006.</ref> In addition, Zero Suit Samus is shown performing acrobatic moves in the Nintendo World Trailer.

===Solid Snake===

[[Image:SSBB_Snake.jpg|[[Solid Snake]] sneaking up on [[Link (character)|Link]].|200px|right|thumb]]

{{main|Solid Snake}}

{{nihongo|'''Snake'''|スネーク|Sunēku}} is the first third-party character to appear in a ''Super Smash Bros.'' game. He is the main protagonist of Konami’s ''[[Metal Gear]]'' franchise. Snake appears in ''Brawl'' as he does in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]''. Sakurai states on the official website that Snake will use a variety of explosives, including rocket launchers, and fight hand-to-hand. Snake will also use his trademark cardboard box, which he is seen hiding in near the end of the [[E³]] trailer. In the Nintendo World trailer, Snake is shown performing his classic ''punch-punch-spin kick'' combo, and using an [[rocket propelled grenade launcher|RPG]] from his series. Snake's symbol is that of the <!--

===Wario===

{{main|Wario}}

{{nihongo|'''Wario'''|ワリオ}} is the [[antithesis]] of Mario and is the star of the ''[[WarioWare, Inc.]]'' and ''[[Wario Land]]'' games. ''Brawl'' marks his first appearance in the series; he wears his biker costume from ''WarioWare'', possibly to avoid confusion with Mario's yellow alternate color scheme. In the [[E³]] trailer, Wario projects an atomic flatulence, tentatively called the "Wario Waft" by the official website. In The Nintendo World trailer, Wario is shown performing various dance moves inspired by ''WarioWare'' before attacking his opponents. Wario’s moves are shown to have very quick and exaggerated motions. His symbol is the letter "W"<ref name="wario">[http://www.smashbros.com/en/characters/chara4/index.html Wario bio] ''Smashbros.com''. URL Accessed May 27, 2006.</ref>.

==Stages==

<!--The Halberd course has been confirmed by Nintendo.-->

[[Image:Pic7.jpg|thumb|left|150px|The prototype design of the [[Halberd (Kirby)|Halberd]] stage.]]

The [[E³]] trailer suggests that new stages will include the interior and exterior of a gloomy castle (suspected to be from the Fire Emblem series)<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/en/pics/pic8.html ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' screenshot gallery] ''Smashbros.com''. URL Accessed [[July 10]], [[2006]].</ref>; the [[Halberd (Kirby)|Halberd]], Meta Knight's airship from [[Kirby Super Star]]; and an island floating high above a rocky canyon, very similar in shape to ''Melee'''s Battlefield stage.

<!--The Sky stage has been proven to be a Kid Icarus stage, the statue in the back is a giant statue of Palutena from the games. Check the discussion for a picture comparison.-->

New stages shown in the Nintendo World trailer include an Angel Land stage from [[Kid Icarus]] that features destructible platforms, a stage in the style of the [[Yoshi's Island]] games that appears to change seasons, a [[Mario Kart]] stage styled after the "Mario Circuit" track theme (similar in platform arrangement to parts of ''Melee'''s Mute City, with kart-driving Shy Guys that seem to be similar to the [[F-Zero]] racers), a Pokemon Stadium stage similar to the one from ''Melee'', and a ''Star Fox'' stage in outer space on on top of a nondescript spaceship that appears to come out of [[Hyperspace (science fiction)|hyper drive]] and starts to freefall towards Fox's home planet, [[Corneria]]. The Great Fox was shown flying around in the background. A stage based on [[Metal Gear Solid]] that features indoor and outdoor areas was also shown.

It should be noted that in the first trailers for ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' (originally shown at E³ 2001), a number of stages that turned out either to be heavily modified in the final game, or to not be in the final game at all, could be seen.<ref>{{cite web|last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= | date=[[2005-11-16]] |url=http://media.cube.ign.com/media/016/016387/vids_5.html |title=Super Smash Bros. Melee original trailer}}</ref>

==Items and abilities==

[[Image:LINK SPECIAL.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Link (character)|Link]] performing his "Super Smash" move, involving trapping an enemy between two [[Triforce]] symbols and swiping at them furiously.]]

The video from [[E³]] suggests the new ability to perform special moves, tentatively referred to as "Super Smash" moves in this article (there is yet to be an official name announced). These abilities are acquired through orb or emblem-shaped power-ups which bear the Smash Bros. symbol.<ref name="E³ 2006">{{cite web|last=Casamassina |first=Matt |authorlink=Matt Casamassina |coauthors=Peer Schneider | date=[[2006-05-10]] |url=http://wii.ign.com/articles/707/707504p1.html |title=E³ 2006: Super Smash Bros. Brawl |publisher=[[IGN]] |accessdate=2006-08-01}}</ref>

The trailer shows Mario's, Link's, and Kirby's Smash moves. Mario, who is the only one seen in the trailer actually grabbing an orb, invokes a large blast of fire, Link performs a barrage of sword slashes while Mario is trapped between two [[Triforce]] symbols, and Kirby uses his Cook ability from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby and the Amazing Mirror]]'' to boil Mario in a pot.

The E³ trailer also shows footage of a Labrador puppy from ''[[Nintendogs]]'' attempting to climb the screen,<ref name="E³ 2006">{{cite web|last=Casamassina |first=Matt |authorlink=Matt Casamassina |coauthors=Peer Schneider | date=[[2006-05-10]] |url=http://wii.ign.com/articles/707/707504p1.html |title=E³ 2006: Super Smash Bros. Brawl|publisher=[[IGN]]|accessdate=2006-08-01}}</ref> blocking the view of the battle. Although Nintendo has confirmed that this is caused by an item, the actual item was not shown in the trailer.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.smashbros.com/en/pics/pic10.html|title=Nintendog picture}}</ref>

In the Nintendo World trailer, Pikachu, Wario and Snake were shown with the ability to crawl. It is unknown if every character will have the ability to crawl, as only a few characters had the "wall-jump" technique in Melee.

==Music==

The main theme for ''Brawl'' was revealed in the [[E³]] trailer as the background song, and it was created by the famed ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' composer, [[Nobuo Uematsu]]. It is unknown whether he will be composing additional tracks. Additionally, opera singers [[Ken Nishikiori]] and [[Oriko Takahashi]] have also contributed to the vocal arrangement in this project. Sakurai stated that the game's music will be performed by a full [[orchestra]] with vocals in [[Latin]].<ref name=theme>{{cite web| |url=http://www.smashbros.com/en/music/index.html |title=A Main Theme With Emotion|publisher=SmashBros.com | language= |accessdate=2006-05-25}}</ref> An arranged version of the main theme with no choir is present in the Nintendo World trailer.

In the E³ trailer, an orchestrated version of the game over jingle from Metal Gear Solid plays when Snake appears at the end of the trailer. It is unknown whether this will be used in the game or not.

The music from Super Smash Bros. Melee's [[Corneria]] stage was heard at the end of the second trailer. Although it is the only other music shown to go with this game, it is unknown whether it will be changed or not.

==Development==

Masahiro Sakurai, former [[HAL Laboratories]] employee and creator of ''Kirby'' and the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, is the director for the game. Sakurai revealed that at E³, he was called to Iwata's room on the top floor of a Los Angeles hotel, and told by Iwata, "We'd like you to be involved in the production of the new Smash Bros., if possible near the level of director".<ref name="director">{{cite web|last=IGN Staff|date=[[2005-11-16]] |url=http://cube.ign.com/articles/667/667525p1.html |title=Smash Bros. Revolution Director Revealed |accessdate=2005-11-16}}</ref>Although originally suggested to be a launch title, an [[IGN]] article states that "as of May 2005, the game's development staff consisted of exactly one person," Sakurai himself. Sakurai states that many people who have spent a lot of time playing ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' are being brought in as the development team,<ref name="made">{{cite web| url=http://www.smashbros.com/en/story/page_3.html|title=How This Game Came to be Made (3)}}</ref> and the team will have access to all the original material and tools from the development of ''Melee''. However, actual development of the game never started until late 2005.<ref name="devteam">{{cite web|last=Gantayat|first=Anoop|date=[[2005-12-05]]| url=http://wii.ign.com/articles/673/673532p1.html |title=Sakurai Elaborates on ''Smash Bros. Revolution''|publisher=[[IGN]]|accessdate=2005-12-12}} </ref> Sakurai cannot announce the name of the team at this time but refers to them as "The Studio".<ref name="made"/>

The game was conspicuously absent from Nintendo's Wii showing at its 2006 Pre-E³ press conference. The next day, on Wednesday, [[May 10]], [[2006]], at the After-Hours Press Conference, Nintendo officially revealed the game under the name of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Miyamoto and Sakurai, who were there to make the announcement, hinted that the game could have full compatibility with the [[GameCube]] controller. This has been confirmed by Nintendo Power Magazine, which states that usage of the GameCube controller is recommended by Nintendo. Sakurai said that the reason was because he did not want to "alienate those familiar with the pad." In an interview with IGN, Sakurai said the Wii's motion sensing features might not be included because, "we found that trying to implement too much motion-sensory functionality can get in the way of the game."<ref name="E³ 2006">{{cite web|last=Casamassina |first=Matt |authorlink=Matt Casamassina |coauthors=Peer Schneider | date=[[2006-05-10]] |url=http://wii.ign.com/articles/707/707504p1.html |title=E³ 2006: Super Smash Bros. Brawl |publisher=[[IGN]] |accessdate=2006-08-01 |accessyear= }}</ref>

As far as [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi]] play is concerned, Sakurai has confirmed some functionality.<ref name="E³ 2005">{{cite web|last=Casamassina |first=Matt |authorlink=Matt Casamassina | date=[[2005-05-17]] |url=http://wii.ign.com/articles/670/670552p1.html |title=E³ 2005: ''Smash Bros.''

Brawl |publisher=[[IGN]] |accessdate=2006-08-01}}</ref> However, as stated in the Toukouken on the Japanese version of the Smash Bros. website, "there would be many hurdles to cross," and an online ranking system is unlikely to be implemented.<ref name="OnlineRanking">{{cite web|url=http://www.smashbros.com/jp/toukou/bn/no12.html |title=Toukouken #141-150, Sakurai Talks About Wi-Fi | language=Japanese |accessdate=December 21 |accessyear=2006}}</ref>

Recently, the new trailer shown on November 3 at Nintendo World has been added to the official site.<ref>http://www.smashbros.com/en/movie/movie02.html</ref> The trailer is slightly modified from the original version: the Japanese text is changed to English, and the suspected Winter Yoshi's Island is no longer seen. The version of the trailer added to the Japanese site keeps the Japanese text, but the suspected Winter Yoshi's Island is once again removed. Also, Sakurai has updated the site to say that it will be a little longer before the game will be playable.

===Inclusion of characters===

The inclusion of Konami-created character Solid Snake may seem to conflict with the ''Super Smash Bros.'' paradigm &mdash; to only include characters from games made by Nintendo and its second parties (e.g. HAL Laboratory) &mdash; but Sakurai said that ''Metal Gear'' creator Hideo Kojima "practically begged" for Snake to be included in the next ''Super Smash Bros.'' game (which, at the time of said "begging," was during the production of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', but production of the game was already too far in to make the addition viable). Incidentally, this is not the first time Snake would appear in a crossover fighting game, as he was previously featured as a secret character in ''[[DreamMix TV World Fighters]]''.

When questioned about the inclusion of other characters, Shigeru Miyamoto alleged that discussions for possible other third-party characters are underway, but nothing has been confirmed. If a third party character does appear in ''Brawl'', the character must have been on a Nintendo console. Additionally, the character must originate from a video game (as written in a response to one fan requesting several anime and manga characters). Japanese fans were asked to submit their desired characters and musical themes via a forum on the game's official Japanese site, with some possibly appearing in the game. Likewise, fans from other countries were asked to submit ideas on Nintendo's official forums. It is currently unknown if Nintendo will ask fans outside of Japan to request characters or musical themes.<ref name="character poll">{{cite web|last=IGN Staff|date=[[2006-05-11]] |url=http://wii.ign.com/articles/707/707671p1.html |title=E³ 2006: Fans Asked to Fill Smash Bros. Roster|publisher=IGN|accessdate=2006-05-11}}</ref>

As of [[9 June]] [[2006]], suggestions were no longer being taken. In Toukoken, the portion on the Japanese site chronicling character and music suggestion updates, Sakurai has stated that some of the characters in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' may not return. <!-- But we do not know who - the rumor about Young Link, the Ice Climbers, and G&W getting dropped has not been shown to be anything more than a rumor, so do not add it. Another rumor with this contains three new characters coming to the series: Cel-shaded Link, Ridley, and Bowser Junior --> He also states that he may not want to put much emphasis on Japan-only characters, but is not opposed to them entirely, noting the success that the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' characters enjoyed internationally thanks to their inclusion in ''Melee''. He also said that third party characters will amount to one or two, excluding Snake.<ref>[http://www.joystiq.com/2006/06/05/sakurai-reveals-new-smash-bros-brawl-details/ Sakurai reveals new Smash Bros Brawl details]</ref> Also, each of the guest characters (including Snake) will be unlockable. <ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=72642</ref>

In [[August 2006]], Sakurai and Miyamoto stated that [[Sega]]'s [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] was the most requested third-party character to be included.<ref>{{cite web| author=Wowzer |url=http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/08/20/0531202&from=rss |title=Smash Bros. Brawl Creators Hint at Sonic |publisher=[[Slashdot]] |date=2006-08-21 |accessdate=2006-12-25}}</ref> Around the same period of time, [[Tips & Tricks]] reported that Miyamoto has stated Nintendo has actually contacted Sega regarding this, and that they're awaiting a final decision.<ref>{{cite web |author=sickr |url=http://wiispot.com/sonic-set-to-appear-in-smash-brothers-brawl/224/ |title=Sonic set to appear in Smash Brothers Brawl? |publisher=Wiispot |accessdate=2006-12-25}}</ref> Then, in the October 2006 issue of [[Electronic Gaming Monthly]], he mentioned that "Sega's hedgehog would be the perfect addition to Brawl's cast."
