Update .. HAAH @ Kirby getting attacked by Metroid:twisted:

Assist Trophies

Even after Super Smash Bros. Brawl goes public, there'll be a bunch of Assist Trophies that haven't been introduced yet.

I don't want you to get confused and ask, "What the heck is THAT?" So I've gotten these together and made a guide for you!

Like the name says, this Assist Trophy is from the game Metroid. It's an artificial life-form that absorbs all kinds of energy.

In our game, it also attaches to the head and starts to drain its victim. Since it will increase your damage, try to shake it loose.

No! Stop! Get off my head!

Tingle's appeared in quite a few games, most recently as you see him here in "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker." This self-**** fairy is 35 years old and still single!

He calls up all sorts of effects at random.

"Tingle! Tingle! Kooloo-limpah!"

These girls appear in the WarioWare series. They're twin ninja kindergartners! And when you put their names together, it spells "Katana."

They have a brilliant dance combination that can cut people to pieces!

Run away! Run away! But...there's nowhere to run!

Dr. Andonuts's son. In EarthBound, he uses his supersmarts to create lots of inventions.

In our game, he uses the Multi-Bottle Rocket 5. He can launch four mini-rockets and one mega-rocket.

Guided missiles... Lovely.

The Helirin is from Kuru Kuru Kururin. It's a flying machine with long rotor blades that slowly rotate.

But it doesn't really carry out attacks. It becomes part of the terrain, so you can ride on it. Sometimes it even gets in the way!

An unforeseen accident!

Jill is the daughter of the boss of the bandit gang known as The Red Dozers. She rides the Drill Dozer, and she means business.

Her weapon is a giant drill, of course! The drill and nothing but the drill! She never thinks of retreating, it seems.

Man, I'm even afraid of dentist drills...

These guys appear in Nintendogs, of course. They play kind of close to the screen, but let's just indulge them, OK?

This Nintendog is a Labrador retriever. Labradors are really popular all over the world.

They wait for things to get really heated, then they come and tease you.

The famous character Lakitu appears in 2-D. He's from the Super Mario Bros. series.

Lakitu drops spiked eggs, which then hatch into Spinies. They're kind of like spiky turtles. Those spikes sure look like they hurt...

I'm always happy when he comes out in a Multi-Man Brawl.

These guys are also from Super Mario Bros. They're pretty tough, so they tend to make a "big impact" on players.

They throw their hammers in big arcs, and also appear in The Subspace Emissary as enemy characters.

Heave-ho-ouch!

Even if you get an Assist Trophy, it won't come out until you hoist it over your head while on the ground. But once you do, it really changes the course of the fight!

Final Destination

There's always one of these, huh? This is the simplest stage.

It's completely flat-no surprises here!

As for the terrain, there's just a flat platform and nothing else. There's not much to talk about either, so let's just look at the flow of the lovely scenery.

A galaxy drifts lazily by...

You start to enter a wormhole-like thingy...

Then the wormhole disappears and suddenly...

...There's a beautiful starry sky.

Just as you think it's getting dark, there's a single glint of light.

Looks like the interstellar clouds start to swirl about.

Then, a lovely ocean view!

Actually, this place is kind of a continuation of the opening sequence...

Gradually everything starts to tilt...

...It's all upside-down, and keeps on turning...

...And then somehow it returns to the beginning.

In Final Destination, the characters, who have been battling in more imaginary worlds, come closest to a real-world setting.

That's the reason why you feel like you begin far away and, bit by bit, arrive at a realistic world.

The boss Master Hand can also be found on this level.

Port Town Aero Dive

Port Town Aero Dive is the huge track that appears in F-Zero GX/AX.

The main platform for this stage zooms along the track, stopping randomly in several locations, each of which has its own unique terrain.

You start here.

Hop on the platform as it whizzes around the track.

The platform will randomly stop off in one of many locations.

Since this is a rather daring course, the configuration of the terrain in each location within it is appropriately treacherous. Expect lots of steep slopes and ups and downs.

We've even included that famous stepped portion of the track.

Th-there's a wall in the middle of the course?!

Sometimes the platform will even separate completely from the track. When it does, you're in store for some really great views of the course.

The track looks so 3-D from up here.

Boy, all this talk of angles and curves gets me in the mood to watch a neck-and-neck race. Guess I'll have to settle for a lightning-fast round of Smash.

Ness

Despite being a hidden character, Ness pops up briefly in the opening movie.

As this is Ness's third appearance in a Smash game, I imagine he's quite the veteran fighter at this point. Maybe he's even used to this by now.

HOW TO UNLOCK

Ness's Special Moves

Standard Special Move PK Flash

Side Special Move PK Fire

Up Special Move PK Thunder

Down Special Move PSI Magnet

Final Smash PK Starstorm

Tips

Let's take PK Thunder, a move which both Lucas and Ness can perform. Sure, the move may look similar, but there are quite a few differences between these two versions of the move.

Lucas's PK Thunder is easier to control and can turn in a tighter circle. Ness's, by contrast, needs more space to turn around but moves at a greater speed.

When propelled into an opponent by his own PK Thunder, Lucas scores multiple small hits. Ness smashes the opponent with a single hit that sends the opponent flying!

Of course, the moves that look different also work differently as well.

Ness's side smash is a bat that requires a lot of start up time to get swinging but really hits hard.

Only Ness uses a yo-yo for his up and down smashes.

His PK Fire bursts into a column of flame that can score multiple hits!

Ness's PK Starstorm causes blue stars to rain down and out in a wide fan-shaped pattern.

You'll need to log lots of time with him and really know his moves to really put him to good use, I bet.

An Announcement about Future Updates

January 31st, 2008. Super Smash Bros. Brawl has officially gone on sale in Japan. Is everybody having fun with it?

However, Smash won't come out in North America for a bit and sadly, Europe has an even longer wait until the game releases.

For the past eight months or so, Smash Dojo has served as a source of basic information for the game, but with the release of Brawl, the Dojo will take on a new role.

From here on out, the Dojo will begin to introduce the hidden characters, hidden stages, and additional features in Brawl that have gone unmentioned until now. I'd like to continue to add on to the Dojo so that players of Brawl can come back to this website following it's completion and view Smash Dojo as a sort of guide for the game.

I plan on continuing updates for another two months, so please continue to enjoy the site.

Just remember, I'll be posting information on hidden characters and other in-game secrets, so you should take caution when viewing the site if you want to save those surprises for later.

Game Mode Introduction Movie

I've introduced quite a number of game modes to you here on the Dojo. However, the sheer number of modes is such that I worry I might have confused some of you with all these explanations.

So I decided to rig up a short movie that showcases each mode. There are so many modes that the video moves at a rather brisk pace, but it lets you absorb everything in one quick shot.

... ...Or it might just confuse you further.

Sorry about that, but there's just so many modes in here, you know?

Nice big N back on top :D

YES i think banana peel has been topped :D

First Songs in My Music

In Brawl there are many ways to add music to your collection, from picking up CDs to unlocking secret songs. However, the number of tracks you can access from the first time you boot up is also quite impressive!

Therefore, I thought I'd go ahead and post a list of songs available from day one.

First Songs in My Music

Look at all those songs. Look at those big names....

Just think, that big list of songs is going to do nothing but grow as you pick up CDs and unlock additional melodies.

Man, having all this great music in Brawl is such an honor!

Vault

The top menu contains six different modes, but I've decided to introduce the finer points of each mode one by one.

Here's the top menu.

Let's do a rough overview of the mode known as the Vault.

The Vault is where items you've collected or created in Brawl are stored. Objects you've received as rewards or downloaded usually appear here.

This is the Vault menu!

Trophies & Stickers

Trophy Gallery

Browse your collection of trophies here.

Trophy Hoard

Line up your trophies and take photos of them.

Sticker Album

View all of your stickers laid out neatly in an album.

Sticker Center

Enjoy arranging your stickers.

Coin Launcher

Fire off volleys of coins to snag new trophies and stickers!

Stage Builder

You can create all sorts of stages here. Go here for more details.

Build stages like this one!

And this one!

If you connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you might find something new waiting for you here.

Album

Check out your best snapshots here. Go to this link for more details.

All the shots you take can be found in the Album!

It looks like you might have a new snapshot waiting as well.

Challenges

Once you've received a reward for completing a challenge, check here to see what you need to do to complete other challenges. Find more information here.

Replays

Save up to 3 minutes of game play per replay.

Of course, you can record your brawls...

And your Home-Run Contests!

And your runs in Target Smash!!

And your exploits in Multi-Man Brawl!

The power to record and send out brawl replays is in your hands. You can even zoom in for a close-up on individual characters while viewing replays.

Masterpieces

Savor the "authentic" battles past for many famous characters through Virtual Console trial versions! Find out more here.

Chronicle

This bonus feature lets you peruse Nintendo's library of past titles. Missing titles in your Chronicle will gradually fill in as you obtain stickers and other things related to those games. (However, there are some titles that will not be displayed until the very end.)

Mm hmm... ...This is just nuts.

How on earth did we squeeze all these modes in here? I've clearly gone overboard with Brawl.

But still, it's not like I want everyone to play through every single portion of the game. I think I'd rather you played small portions of the areas you find interesting a little at a time.

Whether you choose to go solo or play with friends, you're covered, because Brawl is about playing the way you want to play.

Masterpieces

Well, what do we have here...

Yes, that's Super Mario Bros.

Several memorable characters compete for brawl supremacy-that's Super Smash Brothers Brawl in a nutshell.

But what about the past fights for each of those characters? What were they like?

It may sound impossible, but you can experience those battles in Brawl as well!

That's right, for the first time ever, you can play trial versions of these games by the miracle of Virtual Console!

That's what Masterpieces is! Here you can relive the greatest battles of the biggest star characters through demo versions of their games.

Here are some of the titles you can expect to see available in Brawl. Crazy, isn't it?!

ICE CLIMBER (NES 1985)

SUPER MARIO BROS (NES 1985)

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA (1987,NES)

KID ICARUS ( 1987,NES)

KIRBYS ADVENTURE ( 1993,NES)

SUPER METROID ( 1994, SUPER NES)

STARFOX 64 ( 1997, NINTENDO 64)

Whoaaa. Makes my head spin just seeing all those. You won't need to be connected with Nintendo WFC to play these games.

Just remember, there are some NES ****cs in there as demos, so expect some of the time limits on those games to be so short that all you can do is laugh at how hard they are.

I'm almost...to the top!

Ahaha! Oh man, out of time already?!

That's what a good demo is all about. It gives you just enough to let you appreciate the game. Plus it's a lot of fun to see just how far you can go before the little time that you have runs out.

If you take a liking to one of the trial versions, you can always buy the full game through the Shop Channel! You might even find a couple titles that divert your attention from Brawl for a while.

Some titles come with save data.

But hmm, it seems there are still titles hiding in the Masterpieces section.

Titles?! What games don't I know about?! That discovery is part of the fun, isn't it?

Masterpieces are called masterpieces for good reason, and each of the well loved characters here come from a past that is worthy of that title.

To end, I'd like to take this opportunity to send my thanks to all the game creators and affiliated parties who helped in making this possible.
