Super Smash Bros. Brawl

 Super Smash Bros. Brawl  is the sequel to Super Smash Bros. Melee being developed for the Wii. Several characters are returning from the previous games, and many more characters are being added as well. The game will feature online multiplayer, and confirmed to have a deep single player experience, called The Subspace Emissary. It is currently scheduled to be released in North America on March 9, 2008.

In this game, Link will appear in his Twilight Princess incarnation, as opposed to the previous games, where he appeared as depicted in Ocarina of Time. Also Brawl features two Zelda songs, a medley featuring several songs from Ocarina of Time, including the Lon Lon Ranch theme/Epona's Song, Bolero of Fire, Song of Time, Zelda's Lullaby and Saria's Song and a remix of the Great Temple song from Zelda II.

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.


 * 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.

They must all be collected in order for it to be functional. When completed you take aim at an opponent and you are sent flying off. Similar to the Smash Ball, you take the parts away by attacking the wielder of the parts. It is powerful enough in that, if it strikes you, consider it a one-hit KO.
 * Gooey Bomb

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.

Similar to how the regular hammer can lose its head, the Golden Hammer will occasionally lose its power and make a squeaking noise when you hit an opponent. 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.
