Kirby: Special Moves

The move that symbolizes Kirby is none other than his standard special move, Inhale!

He's able to copy an enemy's ability (by which I mean, their standard special move) and use it as his own.

When he inhales a foe and swallows...

He copies his opponent's ability!

So... Which look belongs to which character?

Team Healer

This item has absolutely no relevance for those who normally just play free-for-all brawls. But not knowing how to use the item would be problematic, so I'll just explain it.

You might be able to imagine what it is from its name...

Before I get ahead of myself, I must explain that this game features a Team Battle mode.

For example, this function allows people to break into teams of two and do battle when four people are playing.

There are three team colors: red, green and blue.

And the Team Healer has absolutely no function if you're on your own.

If you pick it up, you just hold it. It doesn't do anything.

But, if you throw it at your ally...

Your ally's damage meter gets replenished!

The higher your damage meter, the more you recover.

But, if you don't alert each other, you may not hit your teammate.

And occasionally,
it may cause an opponent to recover damage instead.

Frigate Orpheon

This appears in Metroid Prime. It's the first spaceship Samus infiltrates.

What you see in the background is the Parasite Queen.

Th-the power went out?!

For a spaceship that just causes trouble, it sure does have a lot of problems.

But what really defines this stage is the way it rotates 180 degrees

The siren scream is a warning!

Suddenly, it flips...

The terrain inverts!

When the siren goes off, jump into the air to flee.

But when you're in a pinch, so is your opponent. Stall your opponent to take advantage!

Co-op Events

This time, Event matches can be played in two-player mode! Wow. This is a great game for couples.

When you press the Player 2 button here...

The two-player Events begin!

These are not battles-they're cooperative play. So, you tackle the challenge of each Event together.

There are fewer two-player Events than single-player ones, but they each have different settings than the single-player matches.

Characters: Mario, Kirby

Battle together against Bowser and King Dedede!
This is a proper 2-on-2 match.

Characters: Pokémon Trainer, Pikachu

This features Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, and Pikachu.
It's a tag battle with pretty much equal teams!

Characters: Yoshi, King Dedede

Defeat the most enemies in just 10 seconds!!

Characters: Wario, Bowser

C-could this be a Coin battle?! With lots of bills...

That reminds me, there are Coin battles this time around, too. When you launch an opponent, you collect their money. The player with the most money at the end wins.

The fact that it isn't bloodthirsty is nice.

Oh, and I forgot to mention earlier that you can play Target Smash!! with two players simultaneously as well!

Oh! I see! Delegation of duties is important!

Stafy

This character, the prince of the heavenly seas, appeared in the Japan-only release "Densetsu no Stafy." He's shaped like a star, but maybe he's really a starfish???

I'll do it! I'm doing it!

...He never says anything like that.

His body shines bright.

He boldly does a spin attack!

But...he's weak?

He's rare for an Assist Trophy, as he can be attacked.

Sometimes you may wonder "Stafy, why did you even come here?!" But that's part of his charm.

Owwwwwww!

Waluigi

The fact that he's an Assist Trophy means he won't be appearing as a playable character, but...

Waluigi appears nonetheless!

He dashes at foes...

He stomps on whoever he currently despises!

Characters that suffer his stomping get embedded in the dirt.

Waluigi keeps on stomping, punishing his foe persistently with successive blows. As should be expected from Waluigi.

He finishes with a mighty kick...

Or his tennis racket!

Never forget to finish off those who are helpless to resist. Such a philosophy should really be expected from Waluigi.

Mario Circuit

The Mario Circuit stage appears! Of course, we HAVE shown it briefly in past movies...

This popular series makes an impressive debut.

It's a so-called figure-eight course, and you do battle at the crossing of the 8.

There are even grandstands in places you can't see!

It hurts when the karts racing around the track hit you. They come in from the side and from the back of the screen, so be careful.

When they come from the front, look out below.

When they come from the side, look out above.

The karts are serious about their race. You can get a general idea of their location on the screen in the back, so pay attention to it.

You can actually make them wipe out, too.

Options

This is the main menu!

• Group
• Solo
• Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
• Vault
• Options
• Data

Today, I'm going to introduce Options.

All options are colored purple.

Choose between graphics that are razor sharp
or nice and smooth.

This is... Well, it's sort of hard to explain using only static shots, but try toggling it on and off on your own TV. Play with the setting that fits your taste.

Set rumble separately

for Gamecube Controllers and Wii Remotes.

Toggle the proverbial buzz-buzz on your controllers on and off.

Just remember, the ****c Controller doesn't have rumble, so don't get too carried away.

You can also set rumble preferences for each logged name.

The slider goes left and right.

You can use this to adjust the balance between the game's music and sound effects.

Oh, a sound test is also available from the first time you power the game on!

Flip through by title or category.

There's quite a few songs available, so I've decided to also divide things up by category this time.

You mean I can listen to sound effects from my favorite character all I want?

This is by far the most dangerous of the option modes.

Yeaaah... Don't fiddle around with these options.

I mean it now. Don't mess around on this screen.

Seriously now. I'm not playing here.

And that's not all.

Screen

Controls

My Music

For more about these three, you can go over and check out their individual pages.

Each of these modes is designed to let you tweak the game to match your own preferences, but obviously you don't have to mess around with these options if you don't feel like it.

Relax and enjoy.

With Anyone/Basic Brawl

Join a quick and simple brawl against someone, somewhere! If you're not going to be playing with a friend, this is the mode you'll tend to use.

This time, we'll take a look at how it flows.

The Wii is trying to connect in earnest! And it succeeds!

Here you choose With Anyone.

You could also choose Team Battle,
but we'll choose Basic Brawl here.

You go straight to the character-selection screen.

Huh? We're already at character selection? That's right. You don't make any rooms.

At this point, you're already requesting a match. If you connect to someone, you'll see their status at the bottom of the screen.

Character selection is limited to 45 seconds. If time runs out, your character will be chosen for you at random, so make your choices quickly so as not to make others wait.

Then you go to stage selection.

You can cast one vote for the stage you want to play. A stage is chosen by lottery from among those voted on by the players.

Also, the items that are turned off in the item switch are also determined by lottery.

Practice on Sandbag while you wait...

Then just wait until you get everyone together.

Then the match begins!!

Isn't that simple? You don't have to trouble with any settings. You just choose characters and stages.

Names won't be shown and messages won't be sent. Neither your identity nor your opponents' will be known, so you can play without any worries.

By the way, have you ever had an experience in which your opponent was disconnected, and the match never came to fruition? Like when you started with four players, but ended up with only one?

I don't like that feeling, so I've tried to counter it.

If you get cut off, your character will get taken over by the CPU without your opponents even knowing-it pinch hits for you!

Hold on! You can't tell it's a CPU!

That's epic! Can we really do this? Wouldn't you say it's way better than having all your opponents drop out?

However, we won't be swapping in CPU characters when you're playing With Friends. Sorry about that.

And there is one more important thing...

When you have a battle mode that runs online like Basic Brawl, the problem of what to do with hidden characters arises. If one of your opponents chooses a character you haven't unlocked yet, it will be spoiled for you immediately.

But even without this mode, given the proliferation of the Internet these days, the existence of hidden characters is going to get exposed anyway.

So, this time I'm moving in the direction of not being too hung up on hidden characters.

You can earn most characters by playing through Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary. For those of you who look forward to those encounters, I recommend you clear this mode before playing Basic Brawl.

And as the case has always been, I've made it so you can play the characters you unlock in battles.

King Dedede: Final Smash

King Dedede's Final Smash is a mountain of Waddle Dees called the Waddle Dee Army!

Hmm. I guess it's in his character to leave the work to someone else.

Everyone in formation!

Clompity-clompity-clompity-clompity!

Hup! Hup! Hey! Ho!

You can't tell from a picture, but the speed of these Waddle Dees is quite a bit faster than the ones he normally calls. You need to watch out to make sure you don't suddenly get swept off the screen.

But the most dangerous thing of all is that the spike-headed Gordos are also mixed into the crowd.

Owwwwwwww!
