Trivia
This is the first time that third-party characters have been used in the Smash Bros. Series, meaning the first time they have added in characters not from Nintendo. These characters are Sonic the Hedgehog from SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog series and Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series.

Goofs
In The Subspace Emissary, when all the bombs are active in the island of ancients, the countdowns stay at the same number and don't count down.

Quotes
Otacon: Snake, what is it?
Solid Snake: Something about that hedgehog rubs me the wrong way...
Otacon: Oh, you mean Sonic the Hedgehog? But everyone loves Sonic. He's a big star. Do you have any idea how excited people are that he's here in Brawl?
Solid Snake: Yeah, yeah, I know, but there's something about him I just don't like.
Otacon: But why? You must have some kind of reason.
Solid Snake: Nope, just don't like him.

Alternate versions
The Fire Emblem and EarthBound portions of the Masterpieces mode are cut from the international versions.

Makes for one of the greatest gaming experiences of the century!

Super Smash Brothers was an unexpected success when it started out in 1999, and now it's evolved into a flagship franchise for Nintendo, co-existing alongside Mario (and its many spin-offs), Zelda, Metroid and even recent mainstays like Pokemon. Brawl takes what made the earlier games great experiences and adds to them gorgeous refinement of the highest order: alongside one of the most cohesive recollections of Nintendo's longstanding history in the game industry (mentions as far and wide as (former Nintendo collaborator) Rareware's Nintendo 64 titles: Banjo Kazooie, Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark).

Super Smash Brothers has become THE fighting game to play at parties and e-sports events worldwide and for great reason: the franchise is a game that ceases to be fake in the collective minds of players everywhere. The stages are gorgeous, the fighting is immersive bliss and it's got that WARM Nintendo charm to it that only a handful of games can muster for me: like Super Mario 64 or The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It's Nintendo at its absolute best.

Brawl gets a golden 5/5 stars.
