We all know Super Smash Brothers Brawl is a game that's going to last you a while. But how long exactly? Let's look at what's been announced so far. Keep in mind, there is still a lot more to be shown.

Main Battling Mode

Well, this is pretty self-explanatory and you know this is gonna last you a while. Battling by yourself against the computers and of course battling against your friends and family. This mode provides endless fun. On top of that, you will have to unlock all the characters, of course.

Wi-Fi Mode
Can't find a friend to play with? Now you can play with your friends around the world through Wi-Fi.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi01/wi-fi01_070918a.jpghttp://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/wi-fi/images/wi-fi01/wi-fi01_070918b.jpg

Even with friend codes and no voice chat, this mode can supply you with many hours of fun! And even better, Sakurai gave us this little nugget of information "We're planning a number of services that make use of Wi-Fi, but we'll reveal them gradually with the other modes. Enjoy."
Why must you tease us so Sakurai? DLC and WiiConnect 24, perhaps?
But of course... Brawl isn't all multiplayer is it? Well, of course not... there is the...

Single Player Mode
Single player mode is, of course, back!

And now it's better than ever. Hey, I wonder what those coins mean? Apparently, Sakurai says you don't use them to shop. What else could you use them for.
But now, Brawl doesn't only feature the standard single player mode, but it also includes...

Adventure Mode
http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/images/modea02/modea02_070803logo.jpg

A couple of months ago, Sakurai announced the new adventure mode which would be a side-scrolling adventure called "The Subspace Emmisary".

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/images/modea02/modea02_070803h-l.jpg

Not only will this mode be a full, robust side-scrolling adventure, Sakurai also says that it will feature character development. There's no telling how long this mode will be, but it will feature man levels and Sakurai calls it "robust". And today was announced the...

Team Play (Co-Op Adventure Mode)

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/images/modea07/modea07_071005a.jpghttp://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/images/modea07/modea07_071005b.jpg

Now, not only can you team up with your friends competitively, but you can also work cooperatively.
"Basically, it is the same as a standard Smash brawl, so if you take damage and get knocked off the screen, you lose a life.

However, this mode features a space jump that allows Player 2 to return to where Player 1 is even after getting left off the screen.
If Player 2 gets separated from Player 1 by the screen scroll, he or she will quickly space jump back to Player 1's side. But, if Player 2 gets knocked off the screen by an enemy, that counts as a lost life."

My Music

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/images/music08/music08_070907a.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/images/music08/music08_070907a-l.jpg)http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/images/music08/music08_070907b.jpg (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/images/music08/music08_070907b-l.jpg)

With My Music, not only can you listen to the fabulous soundtrack by thirty-six competent composers, (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music01.html) you can also edit what songs will play on each level! The soundtrack already sounds AMAZING. You can clearly see an arrow on the screens meaning that most levels will have atleast more than four songs.
I'm going to spend many hours just going through these songs on the background. You even unlock songs in the game through collectable disks.

Some of my favorites so far:
Pokémon: Pokémon Stadium/Evolution (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music09.html)
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Medley (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music04.html)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Main Theme (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music10.html)

Unlockables (Trophies, Stickers, Maybe MORE!?!?!)
Trophies make a welcomed return to Brawl from Melee! If Melee is anything to go by, there is going to be... A LOT! And they seem to be even more features now.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various05/various05_070924b.jpghttp://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various05/various05_070924d.jpg

And now, stickers are being introduced. Apparently, they are a lot easier to collect than trophies. Personally, I don't see the point except for maybe for the few minutes you might spend making a funny picture.

The Characters
Not only will you probably unlock all the characters, you have to remember, all the characters play differently. Playing with different characters can really change the game than the usual method of mastering one or two characters and playing with them a lot.

I posted this in another forum and just thought it would be nice to have here.

The Stages
Do you know how diverse the stages in Brawl are?

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage15/stage15_071022e.jpghttp://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage14/stage14_071015a.jpghttp://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage04/stage04_070622b.jpghttp://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage10/stage10_0700831a.jpghttp://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage08/stage08_070725a.jpghttp://www.smashbros.com/en_us/stages/images/stage01/stage01_070522a.jpg

So far there are fifteen stages announced. You can be sure that there will be a lot more to see.

Home-Run Contest
It's back, and it's biger and better than ever! http://img.gamespot.com/gamespot/shared/emoticons/smile.gif

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various08/various08_071016i.jpghttp://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various08/various08_071016g.jpg

Seriously, what kind of game allows you to beat up a punching back with a friend through Wi-Fi.

Send Screenshots To Your Friends
Now, not only can you take screenshots in Melee, but you can also save them on an SD card or your Wii itself. But that's not even the best part.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various07/various07_071012f.jpghttp://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various07/various07_071012a.jpg

You an even send them to your friends! http://img.gamespot.com/gamespot/shared/emoticons/big_smile.gif Get ready for some funny pictures.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various07/various07_071012d.jpghttp://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various07/various07_071012g.jpg

Wait, but what's blurred out? Looks like we'll have to find out later.

Target Mode

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various09/various09_071024a.jpghttp://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various09/various09_071024c.jpg

Target mode is back! This time it includes five outdoor locals. Fan of time trials and targets of the last games will obviously love this.

Video Capture Mode

Want to show your friends how much you own?
Well now you can! And the best thing is... you can do it directly through the Wii with three minute replays. You can also send the files to your friends, straight from the Wii. How cool is that?

Stage Builder
No... it can't be... can it? I have dreamed of this feature in this game for so long... and now it's actually here?

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various10/various10_071029f.jpghttp://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various10/various10_071029i.jpg

In SSBB, you can actually MAKE your own stage. You get to totally customize it including the music that plays on the stage. Can it get any better?
Well actually, it can.

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various10/various10_071029g.jpg

You can now send stages straight to your friends. Wow, that's amazing. But that's not all!

http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/images/various10/various10_071029h.jpg

See that 'Submit' button? You can send your stage to Nintendo! Everyday, Nintendo will update your Wii with a new screenshot and stage every single day. Don't worry about size, because the stage clears at the end of the day.

And there is much more to be seen and still much more to be announced!

Not even mentioning all the exploring and tricks to figure out. You can play around and master all the control types too! This game has so much content - it's epic!
This thread took me a while, I hope you like it. Now I know how Willy must feel. Too bad I can't think of cool catchphrases.

[Neversoft]

Cool thread. :D

Anyone know if like when you're playing wifi or multiplayer you can play with a wii remote while your friend of other person can play with a gamecube controller? Or will you all have to use the same controller?

[Nemo]

You are evil. Making me want this game soooo much! I knew all this but put it all together and it just owns.


Cool thread. :D

Probaly be able to use diff, coz it suits the person playing more.

Yes, each person can choose the way they want to play. They can even customize it how they want.

[Neversoft]

Thank god.

As soon as I get this game I'm going on Wifi using the gamecube controller to kick a few peoples ***. I hope they haven't changed the controls around from how it was on melee. I don't suppose they will though. :D

Oh... it used to be. It was revealed that it was 'Submit' when the stage builder was announced. Sakurai replaced the image. I forgot to edit it. Oh well. :P
