Super Smash Bros. Assemble is a game developed for the Wii U by Toroko and Sora. It is the fifth game in the series. It introduces fourth party characters (Popeye) and it changes the rules for third party characters, allowing for two for each company. (Square Enix, Namco, Sega, Capcom, and Konami.) The reason for this being is that Nintendo wants to rebuild relationships with third parties, and thus is collaborating more with third parties to encourage them to make games for the system. Smaller third parties heavily connected to Nintendo are considered second parties (Wayfoward, Shinen, Cooking Mama LTD... etc) in this continuity and have been bought by Nintendo.
This is the first Smash Bros game not to be helmed by Sakurai, but rather a mysterious person named Exotoro who previously created the Fighters of Lapis series.
This game also introduces character creation beyond Miis, allowing players to "assemble" characters from parts that can be recolored and resized.
The game has sold around 1.56 million copies as of 1/17/15.
Development[]
The game was originally to be led by Sakurai, but stating that he wanted a longer break from Smash Brothers, Nintendo decided to get a new director with Sakurai's approval. As they had previously worked with Exotoro on the Fighters of Lapis series with their approval for their characters, Exotoro was the first choice to direct the series as he had already done similar work and a good relationship with Nintendo.
Exotoro would often call up Sakurai on whether he was doing something "wrong" with the answer usually being "it's your game, you do it the way you want."
New Mechanics[]
- Tiered Items - Items now have tiers, with Tier 1 Items showing up at the beginning of the match, with Tier 2 and 3 items showing up later in the match. Tiered Items can be turned off and customized.
- Power Smash - A small meter that appears inside the portrait of a character slowly fills up the more attacks that land. When it is full, the next attack that lands will have double the power. This can be turned off in the options or be customized to have 3x or 4x the power.
- Omega, Alpha, Zeta Stages - Omega Stages return, being Final Destination versions for every stage. Joining them are Alpha Stages (Battlefield versions of every stage) and Zeta Stages (No hazards).
- More customization - Since competitive players will never, ever be happy, we now offer the mechanics of 64, Melee, Brawl, and Super Smash Bros 4, with some little adjustments allowed to be made, such as landing lag.
- Custom Music - Load any music from your SD Card (must be a MP3 or WAV file) and play it on any stage! Three custom songs for each stage.
Modes[]
Group[]
- Brawl - The standard Super Smash Bros. game mode. Pick any character available and choose your opponents (if you have no humans other than you playing). Then, pick a stage and fight! You can customize the game type to make it something other than time battle (such as stock battle where people have limited lives or coin battle where people collect coins to win). Items can be turned on or off depending on what you think. You can also fight in teams (there are three teams). Play to beat your opponents and show who's the best!
- Special Brawl - This is like Brawl mode, but in this one you can bend the rules a little. You get various options to create your own custom game (such as make people metal, or even giant). Once you have everything figured out, start the game by picking your character and a stage. See what games you can come up with!
- Rotation - A mode meant for people who have more than four people along with them.
- Co-Op Classic - A version of classic that allows you to fight through classic with two players. Each player is on the same team.
- Tournament - This mode is a tournament (you should know what those are). Play against up to 36 opponents, advancing from round to round until finally the championship match is played. You can choose your opponents and customize the rules like in Brawl mode, and have different amounts of people playing each match (up to four).
- Smash Run - Smash Run is a 4-player, labyrinth-exploring, boost-collecting battle game. First, the fighters enter a vast playing field. There's a 5-minute time limit! During these 5 minutes you'll explore the field, battle enemies, and collect boosts to power up. There are 6 types of boosts - Speed, Jump, Attack, Special, Arms and Defense. When the time limit is up, you'll carry the boosts you collected into battle. You can also get custom moves and equipment in this mode.
- Underwater Prison - Unlocked after getting DLC. Take on the new DLC opponents here.
Solo[]
- Story Mode: Secret Universe - Story mode of the game. The Super Smash Bros encounter time rips that lead to a secret universe. You play as various characters through numerous side-scrolling levels, full of enemies and obstacles. You access these levels by a battle map (flashing red circles on the map mean that's your next level). Over time, you'll gain party members (gaining party members can unlock hidden characters). Occasionally, you'll be forced to fight a boss character, who has a health bar rather than a percent counter. This mode cannot be complete in one sitting because of its many levels. You can play this mode on different difficulty levels.
- Classic Mode - A modified version of Classic Mode players choose different paths as they progress through a "world map" to fight against waiting CPU opponents. Other than battling the usual fighters in one-on-one fights, there is also the possibility of fighting giant or metal fighters, team battles with CPU players both aiding and attacking the player, and matches where the player must defeat opponents one after another or in groups. Players will be able to alter their "Fighter Balance": a system where gold is spent to adjust the intensity level. The higher the intensity, the stronger opponents will be, and the greater a player's rewards will be when victorious. Among those rewards are gold, trophies and items for character customization. Before the player start a level, a roller appears and determines the player's rewards. Rewards in red are for customization, green ones are trophies, and yellow means gold. However, he will not be rewarded once he complete it all.
- Events - In Events mode, you have to complete a certain mission. These missions vary from KOing a character in a certain time to defeating your foes with a Final Smash. When you complete some missions, more will be unlocked. Some of them give you a prize as well. There are forty-one events total, and each one can be played on Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulties. The higher the level number is, the harder the level (in most cases).
- Tower of Smash - A giant tower filled with enemies and bosses. You get three different characters to try and clear this one hundred room behemoth. Each room you clears nets you some treasure. In the hundredth room, you face the final boss of Smash Tower... an old foe.
- Smash Train - Ride on a train that pits you against various fighters. There are two vatiations: Master and Crazy train. You will tickets that can be used to get discounts off trophies and equipment, as well as DLC!
- Master Train - Very straight forward. Master Hand is an excellent conductor, so your train ride will be smooth.
- Crazy Train - Oh dear. The train is very... crazy this time around, with some carts looping, being upside down, facing you against a boss or enemy, or even putting you in another dimension as well as fighting in a weightless enviroment!
Story Mode: Secret Universe[]
The Super Smash Bros encounter rips in the universe that lead to a "secret universe". Meanwhile, a mysterious man named Umbra who controls a bunch of enemies named the "Cubots" is after Wario and Master Hand for reasons unknown.
DLC Story Mode: Monuments of Light[]
The Super Smash Bros find themselves up against a opponent who has connections with Umbra, and is building a tower of babel to sink the entire world into rebirth.
DLC Story Mode: Black Sun[]
Black Sun follows Duck Hunt Dog and Hunter Hero as they uncover a man who's planning to bring back Umbra and create a "day of darkness". This is the second DLC pack.
Vault[]
- Stadium - a variety of minigames await...
- Target Test - Break the targets as fast as you can!
- Target Blast - Launch the bomb as far as you can to hit the targets and make it explode.
- Multi-Man Melee - Take on the Fighting Gel Group in a variety of different set-ups:
- 10-Man mode - Challenges the player to defeat ten opponents. This is the shortest of all Multi-Man Melees and Multi-Man Brawls, usually taking between 10 and 20 seconds to complete for an amateur player, though world records are all within roughly 6 and 7 seconds.
- 100-Man mode - Challenges the player to defeat one hundred opponents. This usually takes a few minutes for players to clear, and can get quite difficult on higher difficulties.
- 3-Minute mode - Challenges the player to defeat as many opponents as possible within 3 minutes.
- 15-Minute mode - Challenges the player to defeat as many opponents as possible within 15 minutes. This is arguably one of the more difficult Multi-Man Melees and Brawls, though simple strategies such as spamming a certain move or evading the opponents altogether will suffice.
- Endless mode - Challenges the player to defeat as many opponents as possible before being knocked out themselves. It has no time limit, nor does it have a knock-out limit, unlike other Multi-Man Melees and Multi-Man Brawls, and as such can go on for an infinite amount of time.
- Cruel mode - Challenges the player to defeat as many opponents, with high handicaps and increased aggressiveness, as possible before being knocked out themselves. It is unarguably the most challenging Multi-Man Melees or Brawl, as the opponents faced are immensely harder than those who appear in the other modes.
- Board the Platforms - The player must land on ten platforms, scattered throughout a custom stage, as quickly as possible.
- Trophies - Check out your trophies here or spend some coins launching them in Trophy Pinball.
- Trophy Pinball - Every ball requires 15 coins. Simply launch that ball into the machine and hope you get a high enough score to get some trophies, coins, or custom equipment and moves.
- Custom Character Creation - Create your own fighter from parts. You can resize or recolor these parts and individually animate them or choose from a couple preset animations. You can also decide the moveset and name of the character. These characters can only be played with friends online or in Junkyard Fights.
- Amiibo - Bring your Amiibo to life to have a training partner or a team player. One new feature of the Amiibos is that they can join in the battle at any time if the option allows it. Another new feature of the Amiibos is that they can be brought into the solo modes as well as a partner or opponent. See the Amiibo for all supported Amiibos.
- Shop - Owned by Rusty, the dog from Rusty's Real Deal Baseball. You can buy custom parts and trophies here, and if you have haggling tickets, you can bargain with him.

Trailers[]
All the trailers tell a loose story, and feature up to three newcomers (with the exception of the E3 Trailer and Final Trailer). They typically have a "villain" reveal as well as two hero reveals, although some videos do not follow this format.
E3 Trailer 20XX I: Ridley Ruins Everything[]
The video begins with huge ocean liner under attack by two planes. Chibi Robo (newcomer) finds Sami (newcomer) in her room, offering to escort her to the lifeboats. She says nothing, but walks over to a briefcase containing a Tommy gun and walks down the hall past the attendant with the gun. Sami goes outside of ocean liner, open fire at the two oncoming planes (2 Vought F4U Corsair's to be exact) that are attacking the ship. She manages to shoot one plane down but does not have enough time to shoot the other. The other plane drops a bomb on the ship. As the ship sinks, Sami is shown to have survived and climbs into a lifeboat with only her gun and some supplies. Later on, a gigantic purple dragon lifts out of the water underneath Sami's lifeboat, revealing to be Ridley (newcomer).
Just then, Link, Samus, Mario, Kirby, and Fox appear from a Smash Bros branded ship and fire at Ridley. Ridley becomes agitated and begins to attack them as Sami fires from behind. He destroys the Smash Bros ship, but just then a sword flies through the air, with ninja stars following close behind, shocking Ridley. The sword lands in the hands of Takumaru (newcomer), and Sami, Link, Mario, Samus, Kirby, and Fox all line up on the wreckage to take out Ridley as he roars.
After the trailer ends with a logo, an additional scene with Popeye (newcomer) coming off a cruise liner taking on Ridley is revealed. Ridley shrugs him off, but after Popeye swallows a can of spinach, Ridley goes down with a punch.

Tropical Freeze[]
Mario, Samus, Sami, Takamaru, Kirby, Link, Chibi Robo, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Shantae and Popeye all head off Scuttletown island in search of a dark tower, where they believe the villains are planning something. Just then a kraken appears and throws their ship far far away, where they become stranded on a giant iceburg. They find Lucario (returning) and the Ice Climbers (returning) fighting off another pirate ship: Captain Syrup (newcomer).
They fight Captain Syrup, her ship apparently sinking with her. In a post credits scene, is revealed it turned into a submarine, and that it is heading into a underwater base.
Extreme Speed Genesect[]
The trailer takes place in a peaceful meadow where Lopunny is hopping along. As the newcomer splash screen comes up, Genesect (newcomer) slams into Lopunny, rocketing Lopunny far away. Pikachu (returning), Charizard (returning) and Greninja (returning) all attempt to attack Genesect but are shot off as well. Pikachu lands next to a meditating Mewtwo (returning) who notices the Genesect and faces him off. The two fight for a while until they slam into an iceberg in the sea, cracking it partially. Mewtwo and Genesect team up to get everyone to safety.
In a post credits scene, Jigglypuff is practicing her singing when she hears another voice singing as well.
E3 Trailer 20XY I: Tower of Smash[]
This is the longest trailer created for the game rivaling only "Never Smile" in length.
The trailer begins as Shulk, Ness, Lucas, Marth, Slime, and Agnes are journeying to the black tower. Suddenly portals from the Twilight Realm begin to pop out, creatures coming out. The group tries to take them on, but are defeated. Lucas yells "STOP!" and Midna (newcomer) appears, now just realizing she has attacked friends. She sends the creatures back and helps them up, shifting between her imp and true form.
Meanwhile Genesect brings Mario's group to a city called Pencilvania. There they meet Alice (newcomer) at a fairground, where The Ringmaster (newcomer) is trying to get her to play carvinal games. Just then, Ridley reappears and attacks the fairground. Mario's group attacks Ridley, but to no avail. Alice sends out a burst of helium which explodes in Ridley's face causing him to stagger back into the water. Mario's group takes another boat and leaves Pencilvania.
Meanwhile towards the base of the black tower, Robin (returning) and Ike (returning) attempt to break into the tower, with Ike grabbing a assist trophy that is cracked. Attempting to use it summons Lyndis, but something goes wrong as it shatters and Lyndis (newcomer) pops out in her Awakening attire. She slashes the door open and Robin, Lyndis and Ike enter.
Pit (returning) is summoned just outside the black tower, where he finds the door broken and enters inside. He goes up the tower, where The Tower of Smash mode is explained. After this he comes across Medusa (newcomer) who fights him. Pit is defeated, so Palutena (returning) warps in and takes on Medusa, throwing her down the stairs.
Meanwhile Mario's group lands in Rogueport, where they meet Goombella (newcomer). Just then Bowser (returning) who is carrying Peach (returning) appears. Mario's group begin to attack him as the trailer shows the logo.
In a post credits scene, Inkling Ika (newcomer) is playing paintball and wins, with Patrica Wagon (newcomer) and Mario forced to clean up after her.
E3 Trailer 20XY II: Ware is Wario???[]
Bomberman and the Chorus Boys have managed to knock Wario off his bike and intend to inact justice, but just then Wario snaps his fingers, where Mona (newcomer) and 9-Volt (newcomer) come rocketing out of the Warioware building, taking out both Bomberman and the Chorus Boys. As Wario is getting a way, Captain Syrup shows up with Risky Boots (newcomer) surrounding Wario and the others with henchmen. Wario, Bomberman, Mona, 9-Volt, and the Chorus Boys are taken to the underground sub base, where they are captured.

In space, they are suddenly ambushed by Star Wolf, with Wolf (returning) controlling the attack. It looks like the end until another airwing shows up. The mysterious airwing is revealed to be Bayonetta (newcomer). Fox sighs deeply. Wolf initates another attack, but is ambushed by SHN-4 (newcomer).
In a post credits scene, another Airwing flies in and attacks Star Wolf directly, and Falco's voice comes over Fox's radio saying "Got em!"
Assemble!!![]
The trailer begins with ROB (returning) working as a machine in a factory, dipping parts of other fighter's limbs in paint. The trailer cuts to a explanation of assembling your fighters, and then cuts back to ROB slowly running out of power. Two robots grab him to disassemble him, but he is suddenly awoken with a strange surge of power. He realizes it is from the energy whip of Zero Suit Samus (returning) and the two defeat the robots, but accidentally knock over a crate filled with Mini-Marios (newcomers).
In a post credits scene, Mario and the others are attempting to buy stuff from the e-shop bag, attempting to haggle with him. The e-shop bag (newcomer) gets upset and throws a colored orb at Mario.
Scary Gargoyle[]
Wario, Mona, 9-Volt, Chorus Boys, and Bomberman are sitting in the underwater prison. 9-Volt is playing with his Gameboy when a mysterious man clad in black approaches the cell with two robots that look like the ones seen in the Assemble!!! trailer. The man introduces himself as Umbra through shadow writing, and clips of "Secret Universe" play. After the clips stop, Umbra points to Wario with his finger doing a "come here" motion.
The scene shifts to a few years ago, with Wario having a afro and dancing with Waluigi in a club. He bumps into Umbra who is initially enraged by Wario's rudeness, but then he goes calm. He asks Wario if he can do a favor for him, which he and Wario shake on. The Warioware, Inc is constructed and Umbra asks Wario to sign a contract, which Wario does without hesitation.
We cut back to the Underwater Prison, where Umbra is holding the contract. Wario takes the contract and reads it, and then throws it back in disgust, claiming he would rather die than fulfill the contract. Just then, one of the robots takes a part of the wall out, beginning to flood the prison. Wario breaks open the prison door and uses his fat frame to clog up the wall, telling the others to go without him.
In a post-credits scene, a large water droplet pops out of the wall and removes Wario from the wall and freezes the water. Wario catches his breath as the droplet introduces himself as Eddy (newcomer).
Plastic Power[]
Captain Falcon (returning) and Black Shadow (newcomer) are fighting when robots begin to invade their fighting arena. They settle their differences to try and take out the robots, but fail as the robots knock them both out and take them away to a giant ship. Jody Summers (newcomer) notices this and chases after the ship. She lands on Tower of Smash Island, where she notices the ship go inside.
Pit and Palutena continue up the Tower of Smash where they come across Medusa again. Medusa grabs another cracked assist trophy and releases it, allowing Phosphora (newcomer) to come out. Phosphora zaps Medusa out the tower, where she is grabbed by a ship. Phosphora attacks Pit and Palutena. Reggie Fils-Aime, who is watching the scene unfold, smiles as he puts his Wii Fit Trainer amiibo on the gamepad, allowing Wii Fit Trainer to save the day.
In a post credits scene, Mario and the others are eating at a soup kitchen when suddenly Ridley attacks yet again. Cooking Mama (newcomer), upset by the property damage Ridley is causing, whacks him with her wooden spoon and teaches him how to cook.
Rhinestone Eyes[]
Captain Toad (newcomer) is exploring the Tower of Smash when he comes across two robots. The two robots knock him down the stairs, but he rockets up with a jetpack.
Umbra stands at the top of the tower, directing thousands of robots and ships to grab the Super Smash Brothers. We see Mario's group get grabbed, Little Mac, Sukapon, Megaman, even Fox's group get grabbed. As they are captured and put on the 100th floor of the towering behemoth, Umbra is suddenly attacked by Takumaru. The two exchange a fight, which leads to Takumaru being kicked out of the tower. He is rescued by Wario and Eddy, who are rocketing up in Eddy's cloud form. All the Smash Bros get into a fighting stance, preparing to fight Umbra. Just then Master Hand crawls from the shadows, being chained with the chains of light while Umbra smiles like a psychopath.
In a post credit scene, Hunter Hero (newcomer) comes in riding an T-Rex vivosaur, defeating the dinosaurs.
Never Smile[]
The last trailer, and the second longest in length.
The trailer begins as Master Hand unleashes his Master Core form, destroying all the fighters, turning them into trophies. Realizing what he has done, Master Hand warps the entire tower into the "Secret Universe" so that Umbra cannot continue his plans further.
Just then, a floating island soars into view, with Ashley Robbins (newcomer) at the edge of it, playing a guitar. Sonic (veteran), Geno (newcomer), and Issac (newcomer) come into the ruins of the Tower of Smash and attack Umbra. Geno unleashes Geno Whirl, defeating Umbra.
As the Tower of Smash slowly re-enters Earth, the Smash Bros return to their normal states. In a last ditch effort though, Umbra uses his energy to warp the Tower of Smash ruins to a black hole.
In the black hole, the Tower of Smash crashes into the Dinosaur Planet. Olimar (returning) notices the Tower smashing into the Planet and investigates. The Smash Brothers break out of the ruins, relatively unscathed. The villains reappear once again, shaking their heads, now free from Umbra's mind control. The Smash Brothers come across Hunter defeating the dinosaurs. Just then a vivosaur pops down and morphs into Duna (newcomer).
Master Hand comes over and rubs the head of Mario, who accidently gets grounded in the dirt. Villager (returning) runs over to dig him out as all the characters laugh.
Post credits, Umbra is revealed to be still alive but is repeatedly warping in different dimensions. He runs through a maze chased by Pac-Man (returning) and Klonoa (newcomer), then warps to a castle where he is whipped by Simon Belmont (newcomer) and then finally stops in a space area, where he comes across a portal marked "Lapisverse". He grins as he steps in.
DLC Trailer I: Playing Favorites[]
This begins the "Monuments of Light" trailers.
The trailer begins as Bowser fights Mario, Samus, Megaman, Genesect, Olimar, and Yoshi. Bowser gets knocked into lava, and Mario and the others step away from the fight but encounter Bowser Jr. (returning) and the Koopalings. The fight blasts the smashers out of the castle, where they proceed to fight until they bump into Stork and accidentally make him drop a bunch of mail. The letters fly away, going to Nikki (newcomer) who commands the letters to take out the smashers, who are now dealing with a small army. A hammer hits Megaman, who begins to short circuit and the inside of his head opens up the Flipnote app, where the Flipnote Frog (newcomer) jumps out of and crawls out of his mouth. Flipnote Frog proceeds to kick the trailer backwards and then stop it where Megaman is being hit with the hammer and saves him and puts the hammer into his sketch pad and throws all the frames of the hammer at the Koopalings and Swapnotes.
After the credits, it reveals that Bowser is rising out of the lava, as Dry Bowser, an exclusive DLC costume.
DLC Trailer II: Ghost Train[]
Wario, Luigi, Pikachu, Little Mac, and Sukapon head to the subway, where they go aboard a train. The trip goes well until they go into a tunnel and realize it's been in this tunnel for a little too long...
The lights go out. Boos begin to float around, illuminating the dark train. King Boo (newcomer) reveals himself and begins his attack as the train seems to be warping into another dimension. The Smashers can't seem to put up a fight. King Boo laughs but is kicked by a foot. Sissel (newcomer) is revealed to be the origin of the foot.
They enter the other dimension, which various ghosts inhabit. The ghost begin picking away at the train, and Little Mac punches his way out. He runs into John Geist (newcomer) and Little Mac, Sukapon, and John take out King Boo, which returns the train back into the mortal realm.
In a post credits scene, the Pac Man ghosts are revealed to be in the next car and try to spread out, but find it hard to do so in such a tight space.
DLC Trailer III: Flight of the Pegasus[]
Link, Robin, Lucina, and Marth are battling the Black Shadow and Captain Falcon. As the two prepare their ultimate attacks, a pegasus comes from above, tossing a javelin at the two racers. The pegasus lands, revealing Cordelia (newcomer).
The Stork is flying away from something huge, revealing it is the Master in the Arcadian Tower from Pandora's Tower. Something lands on the master revealing it is Aeron (newcomer) who promptly defeats the master. As the Master Falls to the ground, Valkyrie from Legend of Valkyrie (newcomer) grabs him and lands with the rest of the group.
In a post credit scene, the group takes on Dry Bowser near a volcano. As he demolishes them quickly, Severa takes him down, and it is revealed that she is a alt costume for Cordelia.
DLC Trailer IV: The River Grows Inside Of Me[]
Takamuru is meditating by a river when he feels a disturbance, which turns out to be Princess Ruto (newcomer). As he attempts to meditate again, Rayquaza (newcomer) appears from the sky, who prepares Dragon Pulse on Takamaru, who manages to block it with his blade. Rayquaza roars and ice appears all around the river. Ruto summons a wave to attack Rayquaza, which splashes over him and gets frozen. As ice continues to appear, Takamaru jumps up the mountain side. The wielder of the ice turns out to be Rundas (newcomer), who Takumaru battles and defeats. As he heads down the mountain, he discovers Popeye's ship, who urges him about something urgent but Takamaru and Ruto can't understand it.
In a post credits scene, Takamaru appears in a black and gold outfit (an alt costume) and the camera pans from the boat to the sky, and then pans down to a desert where a woman with a eye patch is making some kind of "monument", which is revealed to be Umbra's likeness.
DLC Trailer V: Monument[]
The lights dim again as another trailer plays. We cut to a desert with a crystal tower in the distance. Popeye's boat stops in the river as Takumaru and Ruto get out and head towards the crystal tower, where they come across Doshin the Giant. They notice a bunch of people heading towards the crystal tower. A masked man named Sodoru tells them about the tower, telling them that it is a "Tower of Babel".
They notice the Umbra monument and meet the woman with the eye patch. Believing her to be working for Umbra, they draw their weapons. A fight scene goes on before it is suddenly interrupted by some sort of "key blade" falling from the sky, with Sora landing. The woman disappears and the trailer ends with a logo.
In a post credit scene, we see Mallo push a block into the Tower of Babel.
DLC Trailer VI: Something in my Heart[]
The trailer begins with Irid in a cave, looking into a pool of water, where Umbra appears. "Umbra" tells Irid how much he loves her, leading Irid to attempt to pull him out of the water, but it reveals itself to be a illusion. As Irid looks at one of the Umbra carvings, she sighs deeply.
Takumaru, Ruto, Sora, and Doshin attempt to find Irid, but get tired out in the desert. As they begin to stop, a jeep pulls up, with Sami driving it. Sami tells them to get in, as when the Tower of Babel is complete, the island will collapse.
As they attempt to leave, they are suddenly attacked by a bunch of Tetris blocks being dropped from the sky by airplanes. Sami curses the planes as she gives Takumaru the wheel so she can shoot at them. One her bullets hits a L-Block, turning it into a trophy. Sora revives it, and L-Block (newcomer) "springs" to life. As the blocks begin to form a wall, it's clear they won't make it before the wall completes, which will create a explosion that will take them all out. Doshin gets out of the jeep and holds up the final tetris block, with his sacrifice allowing Sami and the others to get out.
Irid begins to destroy her stone statues of Umbra inside the cave and snaps off her eyepatch, revealing that it is a gem. She pulls it out and heads out of the cave and puts on her eyepatch again, heading towards the Tower of Babel.
As Sami escapes the Tetris Wall, she comes across Millers (newcomer), who believes that Sami is attempting to disrupt the Soma in which she and Sami get into a fight. As Takumaru barely steers the jeep out of a canyon, Dry Bowser appears on a bonecoaster on a flow of lava. Mario, Samus, Megaman, Genesect, Olimar, Flipnote Frog, and Yoshi see Sami and the others and chase Dry Bowser from the other side as Sami and Millers continue to fight.
Irid climbs the steps of the Tower of Babel, knocking away Mallo who lands in the sand. Mallo runs over to the Tetris Wall and pushes the blocks, making the walls unable to be set off. Doshin releases his grip on his Tetris block as Mallo runs over to him. The two look up at the Tower of Babel.
Sami punches Millers onto the road, but Dry Bowser shoots fire that Takumaru barely stops in time for. Trapped, Sami and the others cling onto each other, but suddenly they hear the wings of a Pegasus as Cordelia grabs them and pulls them out just in time as Dry Bowser blasts the jeep. Link, Robin, Aeron, Valkyrie, Lucina, and Marth join Sami's group as they stare out onto the mountain side, where Ashley Robbin's floating island comes into views, with Ashley joined by Alta (newcomer), who raises her scepter as the screen pulls out to reveal two different dimensions coexisting at the same time.
After the title, Irid places the gem onto the top of the tower of the babel and it clicks as the trailer fades to black.
Secret Trailer: Runaways[]
This was a secret trailer that could only be found in linked annotation on "Something in my Heart"'s trailer. This trailer introduces no new characters or stages; it tells the back story of the two original characters introduced in this game.
The trailer begins with a girl with black hair playing with a car when she notices a boy with black hair watching her from behind a tree across from her. She goes towards him, in which he runs away from her, but she catches up with him. The boy introduces himself as Umbra, and the little girl says her name is Irid. She asks where he came from, and he says he doesn't know- he woke up with both of his parents gone and every day he seems to forget more and more about them. He shows off his power to manipulate shadows, and Irid discovers she has the ability to manipulate the light. The two grow a bond.
It skips to two years later with Umbra on the run. He asks Irid to run away with him, as they are the only two who seem to have powers. She decides to run away with him. Two more years pass and the two are living in a junkyard, where Irid attempts to tell Umbra she loves him, but Umbra does not feel the same way. Irid leaves, but cannot find her way home.
Irid comes across a giant glove named Master Hand, who trains her to use her powers efficiently and to make the best of it. Umbra notices, and believes Master Hand is manipulating her to hate him. With the loss of his only friend, he goes in isolation into a mountain, where he finds a robot building manual next to a skeleton.
The trailer ends with Irid looking into the sea, seeing Umbra's reflection and then proceeding to stomp on it.
DLC Trailer VII: Into the Ocean[]
This marks the end of the Monuments of Light DLC Trailers.
The trailer begins with the ground shaking. Everybody on the cliff tumbles down awkwardly as they look at the Tower of Babel falling. Suddenly, Mallo and Doshin appear, with the news that Irid has put in a gem into the Tower of Babel that will cause whole world to collapse. Sami holds Millers up and allows Millers to regain her strength, and after a quick punch to the face, Millers runs with the rest of the group.
The only way to reverse the collapse is take the gem out of the Tower of Babel. Just then a train rushes by. Sami and the others jump on top of the train, where they walk across the top and then enter it. Sami grabs the conductor and drives the train into the desert. Wario, Luigi, Pikachu, Little Mac, Sissel, John, and Sukapon wonder what's going on as the train rides into the desert.
As they arrive at the desert, they find Basillo (newcomer) and Flavia (newcomer) heading up the Tower of Babel. The group comes face to face with Irid, who unleashes a bunch orbs. Genesect deflects the orbs as everyone falls off and runs for the gem. Irid grabs him and throws him off the tower.
Little Mac and Sukapon lay on the sand, defeated. Suddenly they hear a voice. "Come on, Mac! Come on!"
Little Mac and Sukapon get up. Doc Louis (newcomer) is cheering them on.
"Let's go, Mac baby! Dance like a fly and bite like a mosquito. I'm talking about a BIG mosquito, baby. A great, great, BIG one!" Sukapon and Little Mac blast each other up to the top of the tower and knock Irid off. Sukapon grabs the gem and the world stops moving.
Mario heads over to Irid, who explains that she just wanted to start anew. Sora says that you don't need to destroy the whole world to begin anew as he grabs for her hand. Irid (newcomer) joins the Super Smash Brothers and leaves the desert.
In a post credit scene, the ghosts from Pac-Man finally get out of the car and realize they have nowhere to stand and get blown away in the wind. The Super Smash Brothers return to the mansion, where Master Hand is reintroduced to Irid. The two shake hands and the trailer ends with Irid making a new monument of a Smash Ball, while in another universe, Umbra is thrown into a wormhole.
DLC Trailer VII: The Girl and the Robot[]
This begins the Black Sun trailers.
A beat-up R.O.B and Samus stand in a cage. The two stare at each other for a while before staring out a window, and then they turn around as they hear footsteps. In walks Veran (newcomer) and Cia (newcomer). The two villains close the door as the trailer goes black.
Duck Hunt Dog sniffs the ground before the ground begins to shake, the camera focusing on Hunter Hero. Duck Hunt Dog suddenly gets a foreign scent, which he follows. Hunter Hero follows him to figure out where he's going. He follows Duck Hunt Dog to a strange castle, where Simon Belmont jumps down from, spooking the two.
Duck Hunt Dog continues to sniff into the castle, where he bumps into a throne with Dry Bowser in the seat. Dry Bowser roars, but suddenly a woman with glowing back tattoos throws a bunch of axes at Dry Bowser. The two fight, with Dry Bowser falling out of a window and into the ocean. The woman with the glowing back tattoos introduces herself as Shanoa (newcomer).
In the post credits, we cut back to the cage room, where R.O.B has been dismantled even further. Samus finds she can slip past the bars and attempts to shove R.O.B through the bars, but R.O.B can't no matter how hard she pulls. She runs away, with one last look at the sad-looking R.O.B.
DLC Trailer VIII: Late to the Show[]
Slippy Toad (newcomer) is in a submarine on his way to the Tower of Smash. The submarine swims by many water Pokemon and some of the Submarines from Steel Diver. He also passes by some bloopers and cheep cheeps. During his exploration, Fox appears on a screen saying "Talk to me", although Slippy never answers him. As he continues further, he sees a bunch of Cubots sitting at the bottom of the ocean, rusting away. He also comes across a school of Magikarps, who part away to reveal another submarine with it's driver being a skeleton that ain't moving.
Suddenly, a man comes to the front of the ship. It is revealed to be Sturm (newcomer), who proceeds to call Slippy a "worm", before realizing he's a frog and then proceeds to correct himself by calling him a "worm eater". He sends out a bunch of Black Hole ships, in which Slippy manages to outrun by hiding behind a Wailord.
He finally makes it to the Tower of Smash, where he realizes he's super late, as the tower is shambles and dead Cubots lay everywhere. He then comes across Andy (newcomer) and Sturm, and Andy evilly lights up his eyes as he lights up some kind of lightning stick.
In a post credits scene, the Wailord swims above the seas, with Sturm on it's back as it heads towards the Smash Mansion.
DLC Trailer X: You Don't Have a Clue[]
Kyle Hyde is investigating the Smash Mansion for clues about the disappearance of R.O.B and Samus, who mysteriously vanished a week ago during a party. The other Smashers have not warranted any clues, having no idea that they went missing.
Kyle Hyde is joined by the Game Boy Camera, who snaps bad pictures of the rooms, but it doesn't matter as nothing gives them clues as to where they disappeared to. As Kyle Hyde and the Gameboy Camera sit outside, Peach gives the two some tea and invites them in to eat. Kyle Hyde scratches his head and heads inside.
He meets Ashley Robbins, who reminds him of someone named Mila Evans. Ashley strums her guitar and Kyle heads outside, where he comes across a red letter (with no note) that was mailed from the Virtual Boy factory. That place has been shut down for years, so why are people mailing from that address?
Kyle Hyde prepares to head to the Virtual Boy Factory, but Wario overhears Kyle's plan and sneaks into his car. Kyle, Wario, and Game Boy Camera head to the Virtual Boy factory, unaware that there was a hidden camera in the letter.
In a post credits scene, Sturm and Andy grab Slippy Toad and shove him inside the Wailord's mouth, where he meets Doctor Mario, who is using pills to get rid of the Wailord's viruses.

Starting Characters[]
There are a total of 111 characters. There are 66 starting characters and 45 unlockable characters, a huge boost compared to previous games. Only Bowser Jr, Dark Pit, Mii Fighters, and Dr. Mario were cut, meaning that there are 63 newcomers.
Character | Info |
---|---|
Mario |
Mario was first created by Shigero Miyamoto as the protagonist for the game Donkey Kong for the Arcade. He would follow this up with more arcade games such as Donkey Kong Jr. and Mario Bros. He is touted as a balanced character. He can shoot fire from his palm, perform a spin jump, and use FLUDD, which now does damage. |
Bowser |
Bowser was introduced in the seminal Super Mario Bros. for NES, with most of his traditional character traits introduced along with it: his storyline role as a comically monstrous villain who always goes out of his way to kidnap the Mushroom Kingdom princess. In Smash Bros., he's a serious heavyweight who laughs off weaker attacks. Hit him hard to send him flying! |
Princess Peach |
Princess Peach has been a mainstream Mario character since her first appearance in Super Mario Bros., in which Mario had to rescue her from the clutches of the evil Bowser. She usually takes on the role of the damsel in distress, though she has been known to help out Mario on several occasions. In Smash Bros., Peach uses her dress to float above the fray, suddenly descending and attacking with numerous weapons. A frying pan? Umbrella? TOAD?! Where does she keep it all? |
Rosalina |
The mysterious Rosalina lives in the Comet Observatory with the Lumas. She first traveled with them in search of their mother. In Smash Bros., Rosalina and Luma can fight in different places at the same time. If you can trap someone between Rosalina and Luma, you'll be able to unleash incredible damage! |
Goombella |
|
Captain Toad |
|
Yoshi |
A green dinosaur who loves to munch koopas. He attacks mainly using egg moves and his tongue. He is pretty fast and light. |
Link |
Link is the valiant boy hero of "The Legend of Zelda" series in which he fights against the evil Ganon to recover the Triforce. This incarnation takes after Skyward Sword, in which he can use the Skyward Sword, which can be charged by lifting it in the air in addition to using a beetle to grab or attack opponents from afar. |
Princess Zelda |
Zelda's first appearance was in the original Legend of Zelda game. She has appeared in (almost) every installment of the Zelda series (excluding Link's Awakening). Since then, she has usually filled the role as the princess, but unlike Nintendo's other prominent character Peach, Zelda more frequently takes a more active role in battles against the evil Ganon. The Princess of Hyrule. Zelda is a slow but powerful character who relies on magic. |
Sheik |
Shiek is the disguise of Princess Zelda. Sheik aided Link in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64, giving him tips and teaching him warp songs. Despite Sheik's male appearance, Sheik is indeed female. She attacks with swiftness, agility, and powerful smash attacks. Shiek is more physical than Zelda. |
Imp Midna |
|
True Midna |
|
Pikachu |
Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the Pokémon franchise and a major representative of Nintendo's collective mascots. In the hands of a skilled player, Pikachu is not to be taken lightly. Alongside electrical attacks, it has very good aerial attacks and superb, but hard to master, recovery move. Pikachu is also one of the lightest characters in the game, making it easy for its foes to launch it. |
Lucario |
A Fighting/Steel-type Pokémon that excels in combat through the reading and manipulation of Aura. As Lucario takes more damage, its attacks grow in strength. At maximum power, Lucario deals triple damage and its Aura Sphere is particularly devastating! Foes won't even know what hit them! |
Charizard |
Charizard is an Fire/Flying-type Pokémon resembling a European dragon. Charizard breathes out fire that reaches incredible temperatures, hot enough to melt boulders and quickly melt glaciers weighing 10,000 tons, and it is said the temperature increases as it experiences harsh battles. It soars through the air, seeking only worthy foes to test itself against. In Smash Bros., Charizard unleashes the destructive Flare Blitz special move— a move so strong, it even injures the user! |
Greninja |
This Water/Dark-type Pokémon is the fully evolved form of Froakie. It's just as fast and dangerous as any other ninja, and the throwing stars it can make out of water can shear metal. In Smash Bros., as well as being a graceful, speedy fighter, it can also use moves like Hydro Pump that let it travel through the air and avoid falling. |
Mewtwo |
Created from modified Mew DNA, Mewtwo was designed to be the ultimate Pokémon. It didn't take on any of Mew's kinder traits and only uses its intelligence to destroy its enemies. Or...so it seems. Perhaps it just feels frightened or even tormented, and that's why it lashes out. Whatever the reason, Mewtwo is not to be messed with. |
Genesect |
|
Kirby |
The 8-inch high Kirby hails from a distant, peaceful star. Like his simplistic appearance, he is an easily-understood character. True to his instincts, Kirby eats when he gets hungry and sleeps as soon as he grows tired. Nevertheless, Kirby remains a formidable opponent. In addition to his distinct flying and swallowing skills, he also has the ability to copy enemy attacks for ever-changing action. |
Meta Knight |
The head of the Meta-Knights, and something of a rival to Kirby. He's quite an accomplished swordsman. Following his code of knightly ethics, he once delivered his sword to Kirby and demanded single combat. His giant cape transforms into wings, giving him the power of flight. He's shown his face briefly before, but his relationship to Kirby is still a mystery. He is a fast character that has limited flight. |
King Dedede |
Dedede is the self-proclaimed king of Dream Land. While he says he's king, Dedede prefers no administrative functions and the citizens of Dream Land continue to live as they always have. He continually does things unbecoming a king, like stealing the kingdom's food supplies or all the stars from the sky. He's not all bad, though, and sometimes performs good deeds. While he and Kirby often battle, they've been known to compete good-natured at speed-eating contests and minigames. He's able to suck in air and fly like Kirby does, but only as a result of vigorous training he undertook after being bested by Kirby. |
Samus |
The intergalactic bounty hunter named Samus Aran. Orphaned at an early age, she was taken in and raised by the alien race known as the Chozo. The Power Suit she wears is a product of their technology. Her unique combat skills combined with her athleticism and Arm Cannon have seen her through countless missions. She is a midpoint between light and heavy characters, and her moves can deal extremely high damage if well used, due to how well they combo into each other; she is seemingly unpredictable in battle, as she can very easily wipe out most heavy characters as well as light ones, like Fox or Falco, though she can be easily KO'd by a medium character, like herself. |
Zero Suit Samus |
Samus Aran without her mighty Power Suit. In this condition, she does not have the firepower she's famed for but is in full possession of the agility and athleticism she gained through her childhood training with the Chozo. Without the armor, she's also much, much faster. The weapon she carries is a self-protection device known as a Paralyzer that stops enemies cold. Hasn't really changed much in terms of how she plays. She is separated from Samus, just like the last game. |
Ridley |
|
Fox |
The leader of the commando unit for hire known as Star Fox. He uses both the team's mother ship, the Great Fox, and his personal Arwing fighter to challenge the evil scientist Andross. He made his name as an ace pilot but has lately shown himself also to be an adventurer with a knack for hand-to-hand combat. Fox is a weak, but fast character. |
Donkey Kong |
Donkey Kong and Mario started out as arch-rivals, but they've patched things up in recent years. These days DK spends his time searching the jungle for bananas instead of kidnapping beautiful maidens. Donkey Kong is strong but somewhat slow. He uses his giant fists and a mine cart to attack. |
Diddy Kong |
Diddy Kong uses many unique special attacks, such as his Rocketbarrel Boost, and Peanut Popgun attacks, both of which are used in his Final Smash, the Rocketbarrel Barrage. His small size and lack of power, combined with the use of weaponry offer a completely different fighting style than Donkey Kong, despite their alleged familial relation. |
Dixie Kong |
|
Pit |
Pit is an angel from Angel Land. His wings are only strong enough to fly for short distances, unless he has the Wings of Icarus. He uses weapons like Guardian Orbiters and Aurum Palm as part of his attacks. He can also fly a little bit but not too much. |
Palutena |
Palutena is Pit's goddess and Pit follows whatever she says. She isn't a very mobile character per say, most of her attacks are ranged and she floats instead of walking. She attacks with mostly light-based attacks and orbs. She can also create grind rinds, which she (and anyone else who hops on) can use as recovery. |
Little Mac |
A lightweight scrapper from the Bronx. After meeting with a former boxing great named Doc Louis who fell from glory, Mac takes Doc on as his coach, and together the pair try for the championship belt in the WVBA. Little Mac works his way up the ranks of the WVBA, taking out foes several times his size. He has a special mechanic known as the Power Meter, which reaches different levels of charge. When it has fully charged, Little Mac can unleash an extremely powerful uppercut. While he has extremely proficient fighting abilities on the ground, he has poor aerial abilities. |
Takamaru |
|
Sukapon |
|
Chibi Robo |
|
Sami |
|
SHN-4 |
|
Villager |
The male player character from Animal Crossing. He feels the need to set out on his own and move into town. He uses fishing rods, axes, bug nets, whatever he can find to attack. He has a new move which is to place down a furniture item, which can vary on it's usefulness. |
Wii Fit Trainer |
The Wii Fit Trainer offers the player direction and evaluation in Wii Fit, the player is instructed to perform the activity by precisely imitating the trainer's actions. Her playstyle is based off various fitness activities in the Wii Fit games. |
Ika Inkling |
|
Marth |
The prince of Altea, in whose veins the blood of heroes runs. He and a small group of stalwarts fought to free Altea after it was invaded by the kingdom of Doluna and the dark dragon, Medeus. With his divine sword, Falchion, he fought and defeated Medeus. However, Altea was then invaded by King Hardin of Akaneia and eventually destroyed. Marth has superior range to most characters in the game, and relies on the length of his sword to effectively zone against his opponents. He also does more damage if he hits with the tip of Falchion, doing 12% instead of the 8% he does at close range. |
Ike |
Ike clearly adheres to the human-swordsman aesthetic upheld by Marth and Roy in Melee, and his sword, Ragnell, appears especially hefty and long-ranged, but Ike is strong enough to hold it with only one hand. Ike's attacks are among the longest reaching and most powerful attacks, surpassing even Bowser in terms of raw power. To counterbalance this, Ike's attacks are notorious for being among the slowest attacks in the game, both start-up and ending lag wise. Ike also comes with his trademark skill Aether as a technique, which gives him super armor at the beginning of the attack when he and his blade are separated and he is hunched down to jump. |
Robin |
Players can choose either the male or female models of the character, based on the default appearances for both genders in the Tactician class. They use tomes of various elements (Fire, Thunder, Wind, and Darkness) along with a Levin Sword. Their tomes and Levin Sword have a limited amount of uses before they break, reminiscent of the durability system in the Fire Emblem series; they will recharge after a certain amount of time has passed. If the Levin Sword breaks, they use an unbreakable Bronze Sword instead. |
Lyndis |
|
Ness |
In EarthBound, Ness is a courageous boy from the fictional town of Onett located in north-western Eagleland. His favorite food is Salisbury steak and his favorite thing is Rockin' or Kiai (Fighting Spirit) (hence the name of his special move in EarthBound, PSI Rockin' or PK Kiai). He possesses strong psychic powers called Psychokinesis, and in the year 199X, utilizes his abilities to defeat a vengeful alien known as Giygas. Ness possesses a strong aerial game with very useful aerial attacks, as well as effective tilts, effective throws, a projectile with great trapping and damage potential in PK Fire, a versatile projectile capable of very early KOs and mindgames in PK Thunder, and multiple powerful, reliable finishers. |
Lucas |
Lucas is the main character of MOTHER 3, the sequel to EarthBound, released only in Japan. While Lucas' Special Moves are very similar to Ness', his physical attacks, however, are all completely different. Lucas relies on his PSI powers far more than Ness, using them for all his attacks but his Forward Smash, Up Aerial, Down Tilt, and standard combo. Lucas is a character with mostly fast, strong and high priority attacks, and average dash speed. He has a new move called PK Love that replaces his side special, which takes opponent damage and strengthens his own attacks. |
Shulk |
Shulk is a level headed youth who likes to think things through and is very methodical in his approach to most situations. He is one of the few people able to wield the Monado, a special sword able to defeat the Mechon, due to the fact that he was one of the only known survivors on a previous expedition to retrieve the sacred weapon. Shulk uses the Monado as his main weapon, which can attack from long range using its beam properties. He can "forsee" attacks and dodge them, countering as well. |
Sharla |
|
Wario |
Mario's self-styled rival. He loves money and gross humor. He often sets out in search of hidden treasure. His bold moves come from his superhuman strength and are completely different from Mario's moves. He is a heavy character, so he is hard to KO, but he has amazing mobility in the air, possessing the third-fastest lateral air movement (behind Yoshi and Jigglypuff), arguably the fastest air speed acceleration, almost no loss of speed when changing direction and with a solid set of aerials to go with it. He attacks using his motorcycle, his farts, and finally, his shoulder charge from Warioland! Woah! |
Mona |
|
9-Volt |
|
Captain Falcon |
A mysterious racer and bounty hunter who is one of the best racers on the circuit. He fights with a combination of karate, taekwondo, kung fu and street fighting. "Falcon Punch", his signature attack, involves a forceful punch surrounded by a flaming Falcon, is a incredibly strong attack with lots of killing power. |
Jody Summer |
|
Chorus Boys |
|
Alice |
|
The Ringmaster |
|
Ice Climbers |
A pair that hits one after the other. Popo is in blue and Nana is in pink. They both wield wooden mallets, which they use to whack enemies and break ice cubes. |
Shantae |
|
Patrica Wagon |
|
Eddy |

Cooking Mama |
|
Olimar and Pikmin |
A veteran spacefarer in the employ of Hocotate Freight. After crash-landing on an enigmatic planet, Olimar met the mysterious beings known as Pikmin. He enlisted their aid to find his spaceship parts and help him escape. Once home, he found his employer on the verge of bankruptcy. He was sent back to the Pikmin world with his partner, Louie, to repay the company debt. Olimar is very weak on his own and needs to summon Pikmin to his side with his special Pikmin Pluck move in order to use stronger attacks with them, and he needs at least one to use most of his attacks. |

Starting Stages[]
Image | Info |
---|---|
Battlefield |
A flat stage that takes place on a stone ground with three platforms floating above it. This time around, the stage has fall colors and mossy stone structures in the background. |
Final Destination |
As time passes on this stage, the level appears to travel through a wormhole from the imaginary Super Smash Bros. Melee world into reality. You move through a cloud-filled sky over a vast mountain range, then into a deep-space vista of dark blues and purples. The scenery is as real as you get in this fantastical world. |
One Dash One |
A scrolling stage that is based off Super Mario Bros 3. This stage has Super Leaves appear more than normal, and it replaces Mushroomy Kingdom. |
Comet Observatory |
A traveling stage that brings the players to Good Egg Galaxy, Throwback Galaxy, Freezeflame Galaxy, and Rightside Down Galaxy, each with their own unique gimmicks. |
Yoshi's Island |
This stage is from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. In Yoshi's Island, the design of the stages look similar to drawings. In the first world, Chain Chomps appear in the background, go up in the sky, and try to fall on Yoshi. Each season represents certain levels in Yoshi's Island. In Yoshi's Island, Shy Guys appear and carry items that one can get by throwing eggs at them. When the item is taken or if they stay on screen long enough they will fly away. Also from Yoshi's Island are the supporting ghosts, which served as a platform for a certain amount of time. The supporting ghosts are retained in this stage. |
Baby Bowser Battle |
You initially start on uneven ground, but over the course of the fight Baby Bowser will send debris to destroy the ground. The ground will eventually regenerate over time, but you need to watch out where the highly predictable debris is going, competitive players. |
Skipper's Retreat |
Where Captain Skipper, the ancient robot once lived. The area is made out of several rock spires, leaving several high and low areas to fight. |
The Faces of Evil |
Just a normal stage. These are the faces of evil and you must conquer each. |
Forest Temple |
Deep within the Sacred Forest Meadow in the Lost Woods lies the mansion-like Forest Temple, inhabited by many fierce foes. The temple is also home to the four Poe Sisters that first appear by stealing the flames from four multicolored torches in the center of the main room of the dungeon. They attack with puzzle blocks, hiding in paintings, and attacking with fire. |
Bell Tower |
A location of Johto positioned in the northeast of Ecruteak City. Ho-Oh formerly perched at the top of this ten-story tower, but flew away after the other tower in the west of Ecruteak City burned down mysteriously. It is considered a place of high sanctity among people in Johto, and not everyone is qualified to enter it. You fight on a floating platform perched on top of it, and Ho-Oh will occasionally show up and fly from the top. Launch your opponent at the right time and give some serious damage! |
Pokemon Stadium |
The basic stage is comprised of three platforms; one large platform, and two smaller ones. The large platform is on the bottom is flat with two very small elevations for the sides of the stages. The two small platforms of the basic stage float at the medium between 1/4 and 2/4 for the first platform and 3/4 and 4/4 for the second. The basic stage is physically symmetrical. After a while, which could be from a few seconds to a few minutes, the basic stage will transform into one of the other four stages, as indicated by the jumbo television screen that is showing a program of the match being played. After the change into a different stage, the level always goes back into its original basic stage. The same stage could appear twice in a row, but only after the basic stage interval. |
Poké Floats |
Random Pokemon balloons float in this stage, acting as the platforms. A very simple stage with surprising challenge. |
Fountain of Dreams |
The Fountain of Dreams first appeared in Kirby's Adventure and was originally named Dream Spring. It is the home of the Star Rod, which gives good dreams to the inhabitants of Dream Land. After the Star Rod was stolen and broken by King Dedede for safe purposes, Kirby had to collect the seven parts by traveling throughout the seven levels of the game. Kirby and King Dedede fought in front of the Dream Spring. When Kirby placed the Star Rod back in the fountain, Nightmare, a dark creature that corrupted the Fountain of Dreams, came out of it. Afterwards, Kirby fought Nightmare using the Star Rod and defeated it. It has a cool mirror effect, but it's basically a smaller Battlefield. |
Halberd |
The ship that Meta Knight is captain of. The layout of the stage changes a lot, as it follows the journey of the Halberd. |
Tourian |
A stage that takes place in the lair of Mother Brain, who has a front row seat to the chaos. She will occasionally fire lasers and fire rings. |
Phendrana Drifts |
A snowy stage that takes place on a cliff. Watch out for gusts of winds that will either aid you or hurt your recovery. |
Venom |
The battle takes place on the Great Fox. Unlike the Corneria stage, the fight is played on the front view of the ship, in contrast to the side view. Characters can fight on either 4 wings of the ship, and somewhat on the tailpiece in the center of the stage. This tailpiece is also a hazard that makes it hard to go to the other side. The top two wings of the ship slope inwards while the bottom two wings slope outwards. Items tend to roll off the two bottom wings of the ship. Every now and then, an Arwing or Wolfen will appear and start firing at the ship then will fly off. Any character that gets hit by the shots will take damage. Also, when the ship flies into the cave, sometimes characters hits the walls of the caves when smacked upwards or towards the sides, which might save one from getting KO'd. |
Orbital Gate |
The Stage has the Great Fox acting once again as a platform, plus some missiles. The Missiles will go towards the Orbital Gate, however, the force field shields the machinery for a while, and the missiles eventually get shot down by team Star Fox. Finally, there will be Arwings, that like the Great Fox, will act as platforms. |
Jungle Junction |
The stage is littered with wooden platform that are attached to breakable ropes. Break the ropes to change where the platforms are, or snap them off completely. |
Congo Jungle |
This lush arena is a fertile spot for a friendly fight. A large wooden deck serves as the base for battle, with two perilous platforms rotating counterclockwise overhead. A barrel cannon constantly moves back and forth beneath the arena, which can give unlucky players one last chance to avoid falling to their demise. |
Skyworld |
Skyworld is where Palutena and Pit reside along with Palutena's forces. The stage features collapsing platforms and Centurions. |
Reset Bomb Factory |
The Reset BomB Facotry was the place where Virdi created her reset bombs that wrecked havoc on the Earth. In Smash Bros, it's a stage that features Viridi once again, but only to summon a swarm of the Forces of Nature to attack the players. On the left side of the stage is a ledge, so be careful not to fall off. |
Boxing Ring |
A flat stage with a boxing ring in it. The floor lights no longer fall to the ground. |
Road to the Mysterious Murasame Castle |
A flat stage that takes place in a field of harvest on a dirt road. Ninjas will occasionally attack. |
Mech Temple |
A floating stage that takes place in a relatively basic temple. The pillars can be used for platforms. |
Advanced Battlefield |
Takes place on a floating platform above a battle going on below. Occasionally missiles will fly onto the platform. |
Bookshelf |

Magicant |
Magicant is an area in Mother, in which Queen Mary resides, for whom Ninten collects the Eight Melodies, and exists only in her mind. A similar location of the same name would also appear in EarthBound as a land in Ness' mind, accessed by collecting the Eight Melodies, in which he rids all evil within him. This stage is based off Magicant in Mother, but contains elements from EarthBound as well. You can recruit the flying men to help you fight. |
Sunflower Field |
Oh my god Exo, you are literally the WORST. It is a gigantic sunflower field that scrolls to the left, where you are faced with a cliff and you see Hinawa's ghost. You have to jump off and land on the hay below. Seriously, Exo, you are the worst. |

Occasionally, 9-Volt's mother 5-Volt will enter the room and look for fighters. Her line of sight is represented by a beam of light, which fighters can escape by hiding behind furniture. If 5-Volt spots a fighter, she will get mad and release a powerful attack with high damage and knockback. |
Rice Beach |
Rice Beach is the starting point of Wario's adventure to steal the rumored Princess Toadstool statue in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. The area is a small beach on the west side of Kitchen Island that has a couple caves past the water. The main beach has typical pirate fare: skull-and-crossbones-covered boxes and barrels probably owned by the Brown Sugar Pirates litter the sand. The beach is home to various creatures, such as Wanderin' Gooms, Pirate Gooms, Munchers, Guragura, Togemaru, Droppers, Yadorā, and Gaugau that can be defeated easily and thrown, you big babies. |
Big Blue |
This stage is played on an F-Zero track where players have to use Captain Falcon's ship, F-Zero racers, and hovering objects as platforms. If a player falls on the track beneath the racers, the player will start speeding to the left and be KO'd, unless the player quickly jumps back to safety. At other times, there is no track under the racers, and a fall at that time would result in death. |
Mute City |
The stage consists of 2D sprites with a mode 7 background. The characters however are 3D. the stage doesn't have any lower blast line. If someone tries to stand on the road, they will be launched upward. A 2D Blue Falcon sprite appears in the stage that acts like a platform, as well as other 2D racers. |

Mighty Switch City |
A fairly busy looking stage that switches out the platforms that can be stood on as well as throwing some enemies that you can use to attack. |
Under the Ocean |
This stage takes place underwater, so normal jumping mechanics don't apply, as you can swim where ever you need to be. However the stage does require your fighters to grab bubbles so they can breathe and not drown. Lagging behind on the submarine platforms may also kill you. |
Tropical Resort |
Sonic the Hedgehog
The base of Eggman's interstellar amusement park. Egg Pawns may attack you. |
Nintendo @ E3 |
A E3 Presentation held by a Nintendo representative. The presentation happens in the background as you fight, with different ridiculous games being showcased on it. |
Popeye Village |
Popeye Village, also known as Sweethaven Village, is a group of rustic and ramshackle wooden buildings located at Anchor Bay in the north-west corner of the Mediterranean island of Malta, two miles from the village of Mellieħa. It was built as a film set for the production of the 1980 live-action musical feature film Popeye, produced by Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Productions and starring Robin Williams. Today it is open to the public as an open-air museum and family entertainment complex.

Reviews[]
These reviews were done close to the game's end of production cycle. Some things like assists, items, stages, and dlc weren't done yet, but the roster was.
Reception[]
Reception was mixed. Some stated that game was too similar to Fighters of Lapis, with a lot of roster's criticism about the amount of third parties in the game and the Popeye inclusion. Additionally, some criticised the reuse of things from Fighters of Lapis, as well as the ties to the Lapisverse.
Postive reviews pointed out the unique roster choices and the unique style of the game. Many also loved the trailers.
After the game was released, Sakurai once again directed the series, although it is unknown if this oddball entry will count in the series overall.
Supported Amiibo[]
Here is all the supported Amiibo for the game. All these Amiibo allow for the creation of an Amiibo fighter. The game currently supports 125 amiibos, including variants.
Trivia[]
- When asked about Popeye's inclusion in the game, Exotoro had this to say: "Popeye is a pretty important part of Nintendo's history. Jumpman owes his existence to the rejection of the use of Popeye, and a lot of the mechanics of Mario are based off Popeye's spinach. Nintendo also made a Popeye game later, so I guess it's pretty kosher as far as 4th party characters. Plus, I'm a fan of animation, so..."
- The project's original aim was going to be much different. It would have featured unique art for every character for the most part in a aim to make even veterans seem new. As this wasn't working out and Exotoro felt most of the art was turning ugly, the project was abandoned for a bit until Exotoro decided to add the Stork. After that, the project was refocused to add unique and odd characters.
- Umbra's art was created by Tenshi.
- Umbra was supposed to be the villain for Super Smash Flash 2, but he was scraped. In a lot of ways, this has influenced his motivations in Secret Universe.
- Trailers were not going to initially in, but after creating the first E3 trailer, it inspired Exotoro to do more.
- The game started on Fantendo moved to the Lapis wiki, and then returned here to be finished.
- This is the first time Master Hand's origin has been discussed.
- This is also the first game to outright state that the characters are actors.
- This is the first game not directed by Sakurai.
- The trailers are inspired by the Gorillaz music vidoes which is evident in a couple places...
- The first trailer starts similarly to Melancholy Hill, with Sami taking down planes on a cruise liner with it sinking.
- Scary Gargoyle, Plastic Power, Rhinestone Eyes are all lyrics in the song "Rhinestone Eyes".
- Ashley Robbins appears from a floating island, playing guitar on the edge of it, similar to Noodle in the music video "Feel Good Inc."
- Never Smile is also taken from a lyric in "Feel Good Inc."
- Ghost Train also takes it's title from a Gorillaz Song.
- Shortly after the game came out, files were found for the following characters:
- Bowser Jr.
- Cordelia
- Dark Pit
- Dr. Mario
- Harmoknight
- "Fly Mia" (?)
- Micaiah
- Only three of these characters have been outright discussed on why they were cut.
- Monuments of Light and Black Sun were both meant to be sequels to this game but they were later turned into DLC as Exotoro felt he could not create another full on Smash Bros game that wasn't just adding to what was already there.
- Unten and Reptflux's appearances in this game are actually a callback to Fantendo Smash Bros. Mercury, one of Exo's older games. Umbra, the main villain of this game, would later meet Reptflux in Fighters of Lapis 6.
- All the new characters that appear in the "The River Grows Inside Of Me" trailer start with R, likely for "River". Additionally, one could see it as the three characters being the three properties of water: liquid (Ruto), solid (Rundas), and gas (Rayquaza).
- As of 1/17/15, "Something in my Heart" is the longest trailer.
- Although currently "Monuments of Light" and "Black Sun" are the only two planned DLC packs, there may be more.
