The Subspace Emissary
The Subspace Emissary is the Adventure mode in Brawl. It tells the story of the Subspace Army, led by the Ancient Minister, and its attempt to bring the world into Subspace. Most levels appear to require the player to choose between one of two characters. There is also a Co-op mode that allows two players to play at the same time. Most of the enemies in the Subspace Army make their debut in Brawl, while most of the bosses have appeared in previous Nintendo titles.

Returning Items

 * Beam Sword

The Beam Sword is an item from the Super Smash Bros. series. It has been changed, in some way, in each release. In the original game, it was stronger than the sword that appeared in the sequel; along with the strength change, in Melee, the length of the sword was proportional to each character. In the first two games the beam sword appeared with a pinkish-purple color, but in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the sword now appears with a blue color.

The bob-omb is a common enemy found in the Mario series. In Brawl, it is an explosive item which can be thrown at others. If left alone for too long, the item will set itself off walking across the stage.
 * Bob-omb
 * Bumper

An item that was only in the original Smash Bros. returns in brawl. Like the ones in a pinball game, anything that goes near it will be hit/bounced off into another direction. Also, unlike the original version, this item can be placed in mid-air which can make sure that when someone falls off the edge, they can't get back up.

The Bunny Hood is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask that greatly increases a player's speed and jumping abilities.

The Gooey Bomb is similar to the Motion-Sensing Bomb in that it sticks to the ground. However, this item can also stick to people and, instead of being activated by motion, is on a timer.

The Golden Hammer may be related to the hammer found in the Mario game, Wrecking Crew. The shared ability to float in midair and the fact that both appear on a pedestal further proves this.

This item stays idle if it is undisturbed. Attacking the item with fiery and electrical attacks will increase the size of the hothead. If thrown, it will slide across the stage and even on walls.
