Super Smash Bros Brawl Character List

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is coming to America March 9, 2008. More characters, items, and stages than you shake a stick at! Every single weekday Nintendo gives us a small bite of whats to come, and if your like any other hardcore Smash Bros. Fan out there, than your probably dying with excitement. So one question... Are you ready to Brawl?

Mario Returns to Brawl, with new attacks and fancier jeans

With his familiar red cap, blue overalls and bushy mustache, the world-famous "Mr. Video Game" is about to set foot on the Smash Bros. stage for the third time. An easy-to-use character, Mario sets the standard for balance. He overwhelms opponents with magnificent jumping action!

Peach Returns to Brawl, and she still has a Toad in her Dress

The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach is once again joining the battle! She'll do what she has to, even when she's all dressed up. She can silence both Mario and Bowser with her floating jumps and Toad defense. This is no time to get kidnapped.

Bowser Returns to Brawl, this time faster and stronger

The biggest and the heaviest of fighters, Bowser has a slightly different flavor this time around! To be honest, there are a LOT of characters that offer a slightly different flavor this time around. If you think they're all going to be the same as they have been, it'll be rough for you.

Yoshi Return to Brawl, and this time he doesn't look so realistic as before

Yoshi's back and bursting with personality! He can launch consecutive attacks and even smack around enemies below him mid-flight. Among other things, he can now use his up special move, the Egg Toss, to increase the distance of his jump. That's enough to earn him a hearty welcome, isn't it?

Link Returns to Brawl, with his more mature Twilight Princess look

The hero of The Legend of Zelda series. The design of this particular Link comes from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Link wields the Master Sword and a diverse arsenal of equipment. Use all of his weapons to adapt to the ebb and flow of battle.

Zelda Returns to Brawl, but what about Shiek?

Just like Link, Zelda's design has also changed. She has a slightly more subdued color scheme. Her movement capabilities are not that good, but her magic adds power to her physical attacks. There's a reason why her hands and feet glow, after all.

Use Zelda's down special move to transform into Sheik! Once you do so, you'll have access to a new character completely unique from Zelda. Sheik doesn't appear in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but we based her model on a design that was drafted up during the development of that game.

Pikachu Returns to Brawl, and it looks like he lost weight since Melee

With perfectly round cheeks and a jagged tail, this can only be that most familiar of Pokémon, Pikachu! It may be small and agile, but its electricity gives it powerful attacks. It's what you would call an all-around character.

Pokémon Trainer Joins the Brawl, and turns out you can play as all three Pokemon

No way! The Pokémon Trainer has finally arrived. And it looks like he doesn't do his fighting directly. Instead, he uses the three Pokémon with him; Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard to do the fighting for him.

Fox is just one of many so-called speed characters. His costume has been completely updated, so he's full of fighting spirit. Run! Fly! Move boldly! For such moves are the essence of Fox!

Wario Joins the Brawl, garbed in his Wario Costume and riding in on his Motrocycle

Many fans clamored for Wario to join the fray, and so now he finally makes his appearance...in his WarioWare costume. It's rumored that this unpredictable character will give birth to a form of martial arts that other characters cannot even see.

Kirby Returns to Brawl, looking exactly the same as before

This is Kirby, Warp Star-riding citizen of Dream Land who can suck up anything. His copy abilities allow him to steal the powers of other characters! Yeah... He's the only character who really hasn't changed much from his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He's round, pink, and soft.

It's Meta Knight, whose introduction was delayed for some reason. He's Kirby's...rival? Despite being almost all head, his mask and cape exude coolness. He overwhelms enemies with his mach-speed sword!

King Dedede Joins the Brawl, with hammer and all

The self-proclaimed king of Dream Land formally joins the brawl! Mechanizing his wooden mallet, he delivers a mighty, earth-shaking blow! He joins as a member of the heavyweight class alongside Bowser and Donkey Kong. Can he defeat Kirby?!

Donkey Kong returns to Brawl, this time with his Bongo Drums

It's Donkey Kong, ruler of the jungle. The original giant powerhouse makes a triumphant return! Looks like his giant punch is still the haymaker you remember. Don't doubt his strength or you'll end up with the ultimate headache!

Diddy Kong joins the Brawl, with Nintendo on his hat instead of Rare

Donkey Kong's pal has finally joined the battle! Unfortunately, screenshots fail to truly capture the way he moves. He scrambles around the battle, using whimsical fighting moves while wielding both his Rocketbarrel Boost and Peanut Pop Gun!

Ice Climbers return to Brawl, this time more realistic looking than ever

The one in blue is Popo. The one in pink is Nana. And the two of them get along great! ...I think. These two move as a pair, with Nana automatically following along. There's safety in numbers-protect and be protected!

The youth with the psychic powers has appeared's Lucas! He makes his anticipated debut from the Japan-only release MOTHER 3. While he is timid in nature, he fights splendidly. Is it possible he can surpass even Ness?!

Pit Joins the Brawl, flying in from the Kid Icarus series of games

The protagonist in Kid Icarus. Pit's Sacred Bow of Palutena is actually two blades combined. He can separate them or unite them at will for use in battle. The arrows Pit's bow unleashes shoot out like beams of light. Players can control the curves of their trajectories.

Samus Returns to Brawl in all of her Super Metroid Glory

Her name is Samus Aran. She joins us from the Metroid games. Look at her Power Suit shine! Her arm cannon is equipped with a variety of weapons. Mastering all of them is the first step toward victory.

You play as Zero Suit Samus after Samus' Final Smash destroys her Power Suit

When Samus destroys her Power Suit, she's left with the Zero Suit. What she's lost in power and weaponry, she makes up for in speed! Once she turns that Paralyzer in her hand into a whip, she has quite a long reach as well! Not exactly the straightforward fight you thought it was, huh?

Goodness! Captain Olimar joins the fray with five colors of Pikmin in tow! He plucks Pikmin from the ground and they fight as his allies. Without Pikmin, Olimar can't even do a Smash Attack. And the short-lived Pikmin tend to scatter. Theirs is a fated symbiotic relationship.

Snake! joins the Brawl, and what a brawl this has turned out to be

The legendary mercenary makes his miraculous Smash debut! This law-breaking news roared around the world. He comes fully loaded with cool and showy weapons that only he could possess. Couple them with these different worlds, and it will clear a path to new horizons.

Sonic joins the Brawl, but do we care really? nah...

The one whose Smash appearance has been most desired dashes in from far away at supersonic speed. Sonic the Hedgehog crashes headlong into battle!
