When I first saw the update, I thought that it would just switch their movesets. Imagine Zelda doing Dokey Kong's ground pound!

New stage, Mushroomy Kingdom. Heh, cool

[Shoelace]

That level is really awesome. I am really interested in playing that level. That is at the top of my levels right now. XD

I see your point, Radien, but also, SSBM says that Zelda has the ability to change her hair, eye, and skin color, so that'd help in that factor.

Yeah, definitely. Perhaps she learned it from Impa; perhaps it was innate, as she's pretty "special" to begin with. Either way, I'm sure it's perfectly within her abilities. (Even though she still can't seem to ever defend herself against Ganon...)

Well, TS, about the whole Zelda/Sheik thing. They usually just base the character from the most recent game they've been released in. For example. In SSB, Link used the boomerang for his B move. But he couldn't use the boomerang as an adult.

Yeah, I agree. The characters tend to be a culmination of all the games they've appeared in, with their actual appearance based on the most recent game.

Older games tend to vary a bit. The Ice Climbers remained super-chibi, but Pit got a total from-scratch redesign. Just he's cool like that. I think in Pit's case it's because they were envisioning what he'd look like if the game had continued as a series to present day. After all, Link sure didn't look that serious back on the NES, even in the instruction manual....

Anyway, Sheik notwithstanding, I'm glad they don't base it solely on the most recent game, because I love the Zelda 2 references present in Smash Bros' Zelda series stages and characters.

Today is a new stage called Mushroomy Kingdom and the music Super Mario Bros.: Ground Theme.

Check it out!

[Animus01]

Wow! I wonder if it goes all the way to 1-4 and back. Being the Mushroom"y" Kingdom, that must mean the traditional Mushroom Kingdom stage will return. How much awesomeness can be crammed into one Wii disc? Time will tell.

EDIT: Reread, and it looks like only 1-1, and on occasion 1-2, is used when selected.

I know i would love to play SMB 1's Castle fighting my fridends and trying to compleat it too bad it's not int it

But wrold 1-1 and 1-2 is

Lets just say if you play aginest me on that stage you will have problams

Being the Mushroom"y" Kingdom, that must mean the traditional Mushroom Kingdom stage will return.

Not necessarily (oh god I hope not). It's called "Mushroomy" because of the revamped art style. It's not the Mushroom Kingdom as we know it from the 8-bit days, but it's still "Mushroomy".

Copypasta from my journal on dA:

Here's a nice site I stumbled upon:
http://brawlcentral.com

And here are two videos that MIGHT be the beginning roster:

But, there's a problem. That's 21 starters. Look at the sizes of the icons. Does that mean there are only 8 unlockables? Sonic and Snake don't seem to be starters, either. And it'd be a bit odd to line them down the sides where the P1-4 icons are.

(SSB -> SSBM -> SSBB)
Starters: 8 -> 14 -> 21(?)
Unlockables 4 -> 11 -> ??
Complete Ros.: 12 -> 25 -> ??

Shoot, this is the last Smash game. There should be at least 35, not... 30.
35 is also a possibility if they are listed on the very sides, but yeah. It'd be a bit odd.

A lot of people on GameFAQs are saying that Sakurai said Brawl has 48 chars total. 48. Wouldn't that be nice.

[ElLibertador]

Exate I think the icons will shrink. Plus I think the second is fake.

[Zenith]

I've seen enough proof over the 'net that the roster that guy put up is fake.

48 characters? Not sure how much I believe that, either. Meh. Personally, I'm thinking the total number will be 40. Anyway...

Today's update? Nice. A great tribute to SMB right there. It's kinda funny, I was thinking of an idea for a World 1-1 custom stage today...

[The Satellite]

Normally, I'd be mad at the appearance of yet another stage with shifting geography, but not now, now that it's one of the most famous levels in history!

But the theme needs work. <_<

[ElLibertador]

:O I thought the theme was great Really fits the feel I think.

[Dawnlight]

I think I just have proof that Lucario and Jigglypuff are playable characters in Brawl.

go to Serebii.net and go to Show Data on the main page and look at the amall icons. This may shock you.

[Moonbread]

Ness is confirmed, too, Tri. Twas in some video Matthew showed me in chat.
