Template:Infobox Super Smash Bros. Brawl is an upcoming fighting game for the Wii. It is the third game in the Super Smash Bros. Series, the sequel to Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee. The game is being produced by Masahiro Sakurai, who also made the last two Super Smash Bros. games. It is currently scheduled for release in the United States for December 3rd, 2007.
It has been confirmed that the game will make use of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
Story
Recently, the official site told a story entitled, "This World." While this could be the opening story of the game, nothing has been directly confirmed by the developers.
This world is a strange land where trophies come to life and fight each other for an unknown purpose. Their sole reason for living is to fight, and if they lose a fight, they transform back into a trophy, never to fight again. This is their version of death. While it seems like a horrible existence, the world continued like this, and there was order as long as the rules were followed. One day, Meta Knight's ship, the Halberd, flew over the main stadium, and shortly after, a strange creature appeared surrounded by purple smoke. It is still unknown as to what this is, but more information will be revealed at a later date.
Gameplay
A new battle mechanic will be the Final Smash, that is triggered collecting a Smash Ball. Another new battle mechanic is that players will be able to walk and jump while using projectile-shooting items, like the Super Scope. Some characters have also been seen crawling. However, it is disputable whether all characters have this ability, as only few were able to perform the Wall Jump in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Additionally, a new technique called the Footstool Jump will be in the game. It allows players to jump on an opposing players head, and spring up by pressing the jump button at the right time. Players will be able to perform Meteor Smashes by doing this as well.
The game will be controlled with one of the four controlling methods:
- Wii Remote (Turned on its side)
- Wii Remote & Nunchuk Attachment
- Wii Classic Controller
- Nintendo GameCube Controller
The execution of standard combos has been made easier; the A button does no longer have to be hit repeatedly, it is enough to hold it down for the character to start a combo attack.
Players will be able to set their own button configuration rather than have to play with the default configuration. People will be able to type in names, like Tom or John, just like in the last two games. While names were only a gimmick in Super Smash Bros. Melee, they now also save the player's controlling options to avoid selecting the control method again each time.

Notes
In the E3 2006 Trailer, the first few characters introduced were the main heroes of Nintendo's most popular series. This includes Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu and Samus. The trailer also introduced Pit, Meta Knight, Wario and Zero Suit Samus as new characters. In the same trailer, Solid Snake was revealed, acting as the first Third-Party character in the series. In the end of the Nintendo World Trailer, Fox McCloud was revealed as a playable fighter. Princess Zelda and Bowser were later confirmed on the official website. Donkey Kong appeared in the 15 second E3 2007 clip, and his profile was soon after added to the official website. The official site recently announced Yoshi for Brawl.
Ridley was vaguely hinted, as a music track based on his theme was put on the official website, however, whether he will be in the game or not is unknown. Samurai Goro also appears as an Assist Trophy, which hints the fact that Captain Falcon will return. Also, the Animal Crossing Leaf was shown, hinting there may be a character from that series as a playable character. However, the characters in the background of Smashville can't be playable, these characters include: Tom Nook, Dr. Shrunk, Phyllis, Gracie, Tortimer, Rover, Celeste, Saharah, Redd, Brewster, Katie and someone blocked by Bowsers arm (likely Booker). So characters like Timmy, Tommy, Pelly or Resetti could be playable, or the Playable human characters in the game. The Internet Movie Database also lists a voice actor for Ganondorf. [1]
According to Sakurai, discussions for possible other third-party character additions are underway, but nothing has been confirmed. Sonic the Hedgehog has been greatly desired to join the fray. It is unknown whether he will be in or not. The amount of Third Party characters will amount to 1 or 2, excluding Solid Snake, according to Sakurai.

A remix of Menu 1 from Super Smash Bros. Melee will be used for the stage Battlefield. The official website revealed a track called Yoshi's Story: Ending [3], which is a remix of the ending music to Yoshi's Story. It also features Yoshi's voice during the track. A track from the original Metroid game was also revealed. It is called Metroid: Boss Battle Music [4], or Ridley's Theme. It is the theme music of when Ridley appears in the Metroid game. A medley from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time [5] was shown on the official website. It is combination of many music tracks from the said game. It also includes a remix of Saria's Theme, an alternate tune that played on the Great Bay stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
