----------------------------------------
Flat Zone -
All your characters are flat! Actually, you really can’t tell
unless you pause the game. Very little camera movement on this
stage. It will go through various scenes, such as a burning
building on the left or a "gas station". Either way, it’s very hard
to describe this stage because it changes so much. All the
platforms that appear are soft.
Various things will happen here. When people appear on the bottom,
it’s best to avoid them. They will either kick you, launch you up
in the air, or do other things. Try to learn what each of them do.
----------------------------------------
Pictochat -
Starts off as a basic big hard platform stage. Various things will
be drawn on the stage, including a whale, a staircase, and various
other things.
Most of these drawings are solid, but some are more interactive.
Sometimes poles with spikes can be drawn, sending you flying when
you touch the top. Two hovering flames can be drawn, burning anyone
that comes in contact with them. Also, wind can appear, blowing
peopleacross the stage.
----------------------------------------
Hanenbow -
These are all soft platforms. A tree on the right, a tree on the
top left, and a single branch on the bottom left. Hitting the
platforms will rotate them and change their color. The bottom is
all water, but DON’T BE FOOLED. You cannot swim in this stage, only
cause ripples.
----------------------------------------
Shadow Moses Island -
Two towers on both sides prevent anyone from flying too far
immediately, but they are both destroyable. After a certain amount
of time or when one player reaches their last life, a giant monster
will appear out of the background.
----------------------------------------
Green Hill Zone -
All one solid platform. The "continue" stand (blue orb pedestal)
can be hit and will start spinning, damaging anyone who comes
close. After a while the ground inside of the "bowl" will fall
away, leaving a hole.

Secrets ---------------------------BRASE
Here I’ll list all the secrets you can unlock, including characters
and stages. If you don’t want anything to be spoiled, don’t look
any further.

========================================
========================================
Unlockable Characters -------------SECCH
*SPOILER ALERT*
Read no further if you don’t want characters to be spoiled. Each
character has three listed methods of unlocking, you only need to
do one.
*Note: You can only unlock one character at a time. For example, if
you beat Classic Mode in under 12 minutes on Hard, you qualify for
two characters, but will only unlock one.
*Note: To unlock characters in the Subspace Emissary, you simply
need to beat the stage listed.

Secret Character 1 - Ness
Games: Earthbound (Mother 2)
Ness fans, relax! He’s back as the first unlockable character, Ness
the psychic boy bats his way back for a third Smash season.
Final Smash - PK Starstorm
Exactly like Lucas’s final smash, Ness calls stars to fall from the
heavens. They differ slightly in that they are angled instead of
falling straight down, and they deal slightly more damage.
How to Unlock -
1. Play 5 VS matches, then beat him in a match.
2. Reflect ten projectiles, then beat him in a match.
3. Have Ness join your party (automatic) in the Subspace Emissary
(Stage 29).
Unique Abilities -
Like Lucas, his third jump is tricky and you have to hit yourself
with his up special. His moves faster though.
----------------------------------------
Secret Character 2 - Marth
Games: Fire Emblem
Yes, the sword wielding hero of Fire Emblem returns for a second
Smash appearance!
Final Smash - Critical Hit
Kind of uninteresting, Marth charges his sword and smashes the
enemies close to him, doing massive damage and most-certain death.
However, Marth will run forward if used in the air, making it
possibly lethal to both Marth (if he misses) and airborne targets.
How to Unlock -
1. Play 10 VS matches, then beat him in a match.
2. Finish Classic mode on any difficulty level, then beat him in a
match.
3. Have Marth join your party (automatic) in the Subspace Emissary
(Stage 8).
Unique Abilities -
When your attack just grazes the enemy with most characters, they
receive less damage and don’t flinch. Marth is unique, however, in
that if the tip of his sword hits the enemy they receive MORE damage
than normal.
----------------------------------------
Secret Character 3 - Luigi
Games: Most Mario series
Mario’s taller brother blasts back for a third season of Smash.
Final Smash - Negative Zone
Wow. I’m really freaked out. Luigi creates a bubble of... negative
energy around himself, and this zone lets Luigi do massive damage
to those in it. Everyone but Luigi can suffer random effects in
this zone, including sleeping, uncontrollable taunting, slow-down,
flowers on your head, and lowered attack and defense. Luigi,
however, suffers nothing and can move freely.
How to Unlock -
1. Play 22 VS matches, then beat him in a match.
2. Beat Classic on any difficulty with no continues, then beat him
in a match.
3. Have Luigi join your party (automatic) in the Subspace Emissary
(Stage 29)
Unique Abilities -
Luigi is strange because he has very little traction. When you run
with Luigi then stop, he’ll slide forward a bit.
As far as Luigi’s attacks go, his side special will randomly (about
1 in 8) explode and do maximum damage (as if it was fully charged).
Also, his up special does a lot more damage and knockback if you use
it while touching the enemy.
----------------------------------------
Secret Character 4 - Falco
Games: Star Fox series
Yep, Falco returns for his second outing in Smash. He brings all
the goodies from before, with a definite change in his "shine"
move.
Final Smash - Landmaster
Same as Fox, he pulls out a Landmaster and tramples his foes. His
tank turns faster than Fox’s, but has a much weaker blaster cannon.
His hovering ability lasts longer, however, making him better at
maneuvering and trampling foes.
How to Unlock -
1. Play 50 VS matches, then beat him in a match.
2. Beat 100-Man Brawl.
3. Have Falco join your party (automatic) in the Subspace Emissary
(Stage 18)
Unique Abilities -
Similar to Fox, but his blaster does slightly more damage and flinch
time to the enemy. His "shine" (down special) is strange because he
tosses it out in front of himself, making it much harder to reflect
things and MUCH harder to spam.
----------------------------------------
Secret Character 5 - Captain Falcon
Games: F-Zero series
The PAWNCH returns for a third Smash appearance.
Final Smash - Blue Falcon
Captain Falcon shoots out his Blue Falcon, hitting everyone close
enough in front of him. Anyone hit then goes through a sequence
where they get run over (should have looked both ways) and get
damaged and flown up.
How to Unlock -
1. Play 70 VS matches, then beat him in a match.
2. Beat Classic Mode in under 12 minutes, then beat him in a match.
3. Have Captain Falcon join your party (automatic) in the Subspace
Emissary (Stage 20).
Unique Abilities -
Falcon’s neutral special has been reworked. If you press the
opposite direction that you’re facing RIGHT after pressing the
neutral special, while Falcon charges he’ll turn around. This
increases the damage of the move as well as surprises foes behind
you.
----------------------------------------
Secret Character 6 - Lucario
Games: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
Finally Nintendo throws a Fighting type Pokemon in a fighting game.
Sadly, Lucario replaces Mewtwo in this game, but his debut in the
Smash series is quite welcome!
Final Smash - Aura Storm
Lucario jumps to the center of the top of the screen and unleashes
a furious blast downwards. The player can guide this beam for a
few seconds right and left, devasting opponents and terrain alike.
How to Unlock -
1. Play 100 VS matches, then beat him in a match.
2. Beat all 5 difficulties on Target Test for any character.
3. Have Lucario join your party (automatic) in the Subspace
Emissary (Stage 21)
Unique Abilities -
Lucario has the power of Aura. This means that the higher the
percentage he has, the more damage and knockback each attack does.
Once Lucario has reached about 200%, he’ll be doing double his
normal damage and knockback! It won’t go past double damage,
however.
Also, the more behind Lucario is in the match statistics (if he’s a
few lives down or something) his damage will be increased slightly.
----------------------------------------
Secret Character 7 - Solid Snake
Games: Metal Gear series
Yes, Solid Snake joins the Brawl for his first appearance in Smash.
He comes packing a big arsenal of weapons and his signature box.
Final Smash - Grenade Launcher
Crazy cool, Snake jumps off screen and appears at the front of the
screen. A targeting reticle allows the player to shoot grenades at
the other combatants for about 15 seconds, or for 12 shots. He’ll
reload after 6 shots.
How to Unlock -
1. Play 130 VS matches, then beat him in a match.
2. Play 15 VS matches on Shadow Moses Island stage, then beat him
in a match.
3. Have Snake join your party (automatic) in the Subspace Emissary
(Stage 23).
Unique Abilities -
Snake uses explosives a lot. While his up special is a great
recovery, you CAN use his down special (C4 Mine) as a recovery as
well. Do the attack, then press down to catch it, then blow it up
to launch yourself upwards.
Also, Snake’s side special (Nikita missle) is controllable. It slows
while turning but speeds up if you keep it straight. After a few
seconds it will run out of fuel and drop like a brick. The farther
it travels the more damage it will do.
----------------------------------------
Secret Character 8 - R.O.B.
Games: Gyromite and Stack-Up, and also most recently Mario Kart DS
R.O.B. was actually a hardware piece sold by Nintendo WAY back in
the day, used in conjunction with the NES. But he makes his return
in his first Smash appearance!
Final Smash - Diffusion Beam
R.O.B. shoots a cone of energy out of his eyes which continuously
damages enemies. He can move freely and chase down his opponents,
as well as angle the energy cone up and down.
How to Unlock -
1. Play 160 VS matches, then beat him in a match.
2. Collect 250 trophies, then beat him in a match.
3. Have R.O.B. join your party (automatic) in the Subspace Emissary
(Stage 27)
Unique Abilities -
R.O.B.’s up special attack is a great recovery, and unique in the
fact that he can use it multiple times before touching ground again.
You can hold the attack to fly upwards for about 3 seconds, or you
can just use it for small boosts.
----------------------------------------
Secret Character 9 - Ganondorf
Games: Legend of Zelda series
Ganondorf makes his return for his second Smash appearance. His
dark energy and slow but powerful moves are back for more.
Final Smash - Beast Ganon
Ganondorf transforms into his Ganon form from Twighlight Princess
and stomps the ground, cementing foes to the floor. Anyone on the
same leve then gets trampled and flung off the screen (well, they
get hurt a lot at least).
How to Unlock -
1. Play 200 VS matches, then beat him in a match.
2. Beat Classic Mode on Hard difficulty with Link or Zelda, then
beat him in a match.
3. Have Ganondorf join your party in the Subspace
Emissary (Stage 30, pick up the Link and Zelda trophies).
Unique Abilities -
He’s a really slow version of Captain Falcon. His side special does
a meteor smash in the air, and just damage and knockdown on the
ground. He’s got some really powerful attacks, but nothing too
unique.
----------------------------------------
Secret Character 10 - Mr. Game & Watch
Games: Anything on the Game & Watch handheld console
Yes, that pixelated master is back for his second Smash appearance.
He brings all his 2D goodness with him.
Final Smash - Octopus
Mr. Game & Watch becomes a giant octopus that has four legs
extending and retracting quickly. Players can jump and move freely,
albeit a little slowly, and try to hit the players with these
tentacles.
How to Unlock -
1. Play 250 VS matches, then beat him in a match.
2. Beat Target Smash with 30 characters (must be on same
difficulty, but can be any difficulty)
3. Have Mr. Game & Watch join your party
Unique Abilities -
Wow, he’s been sped up a BUNCH it seems from Melee. His side special
pops up a random number, which indicates the power. If it shows a 9,
pretty much anyone it hits is dead. He also parachutes down after
his up special, allowing him to slow fall. Press down to drop the
parachute.
----------------------------------------
Secret Character 11 - Sonic
Games: Sonic the Hedgehog series
If you haven’t been living under a rock recently, you know that
the blue flur is finally joining the Smash team. He brings his
speed as well, being the fastest character in the game.
Final Smash - Super Sonic
Yep, the blue hedgehog transforms into his yellow super form. He
then flys around the screen at amazing speed, launching anyone that
touches him off. Be careful, as Super Sonic’s speed is practically
uncontrollable!
How to Unlock -
1. Play 300 VS matches, then beat him in a match.
2. Beat Classic Mode on any difficulty with 10 characters, then
beat him in a match. (Does not include different transformations,
example - Sheik and Zelda only count as one)
3. Play over 10 hours in VS Mode. (Combined Total)
4. Beat the Subspace Emissary (Stage 31).
Unique Abilities -
If you make him run, he’s by FAR the fastest in the game. His up
special will spring him up, but sometimes the spring he uses to fly
will stay and allow others to bounce high as well.
----------------------------------------
Secret Character 12 - Jigglypuff
Games: Pokemon series
Wow, the pink ball of fluff is a lot harder to find this time
around. But she’s back for her third excursion into Smash!
Final Smash - Puff Up
Jigglypuff grows HUGE and knocks everyone back. When I say huge, I
mean GINORMOUSLY HUGE. Easily 15 times her normal size. When she
gets to full size, she will do a small attack (not viewable) that
will hurt anyone very close to her, usually smashing them off-
screen.
How to Unlock -
1. Play 350 VS matches, then beat her in a match.
2. Complete the Subspace Emissary, then beat 20 events in Event
Mode. Afterwards, beat her in a match.
3. Complete the Subspace Emissary, then return to Stage 18 (The
Swampt). On the last part of the level where you are shooting
yourself through barrels, stop on the platform below the new door.
Go in and beat Jigglypuff.
Unique Abilities -
Hooray Jiggs! I love this character, even though she really can’t
beat most skilled characters without luck. And before I get e-mails
saying "I could school you with Jiggs!", I’ve seen great Jiggs
players. Anyway, if her shield gets broke, she flies to her death.
Unless you hit a ceiling, she’s dead.
She has TERRIBLE ground speed and is the lightest character, but in
the air she’s got great maneuverability and quick attacks. Not to
mention her great DI (directional influence).
----------------------------------------
Secret Character 13 - Toon Link
Games: The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker and the Phantom Hourglass
Yep, the Link from the cell-shaded games makes his debut, though
many think he’s just a replacement for Young Link. He still has his
own unique fighting skills, so don’t underestimate him!
Final Smash - Triforce Slash
The same as Link’s final smash, it seems.
How to Unlock -
1. Play 400 VS matches, then beat him in a match.
2. Complete the Subspace Emissary, then beat Classic Mode with any
character on any difficulty. Afterwards, beat him in a match.
3. Complete the Subspace Emissary, then return to Stage 9 (The
Forest). On the first portion of the level after the first mini-
battle with a few Primids, a new door appears. Go in and beat Toon
Link.
Unique Abilities -
Like a small, fast, and deadly Link. Has all the projectiles of his
counter-part, but moves MUCH faster. Has a shorter range with his
attacks and a little less damage, but I like him more.
His down air attack (normal) can send him plummetting to the ground,
which can do massive damage and kill easily, but don’t use it over
a pit or you’ll kill yourself.
----------------------------------------
Secret Character 14 - Wolf
Games: Star Fox series
Fox’s arch-nemesis makes his first Smash appearance. He may be
slower than his better half, but he’s got a few tricks up his
sleeve.
Final Smash - Landmaster
Okay, you get it, another Landmaster, but Wolf’s is much less about
moving around. It turns terribly and floats just so-so, but it’s
blaster does massive damage to the enemies, making this a fire-
power driven attack.
How to Unlock -
1. Play 450 VS matches, then beat him in a match.
2. Beat Boss Rush mode (Subspace Emissary) with Fox or Falco, then
beat him in a match.
3. Complete the Subspace Emissary, then return to Stage 14 (The
Ruins). At the end of the second part of the level, go to the
bottom of the elevator shaft instead of going into the door (don’t
worry when the elevator disappears, just fall) and into the new
door that appears there. Beat Wolf.
Unique Abilities -
Quite a bit different than Fox and Falco. He’s slower, more
powerful, and has a much different "feel". Some of his attacks have
less charge to them though.

gather them myself.
Big thanks to Youtube for being so cool.
Thanks to users Hsieh, Jay Tong, AVMassey, Naijie, Bobby Glossop,

(e-mail me again if you want to be included).
A few more users to thank - Andrew Erdman for some trophy fixes
(other users as well, but he had the best list), Brandon Gorin for
