Marth

This article or section is a short summary of Marth inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. SmashWiki featuresa more in-depth article.

Marth, the protagonist ofFire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light andFire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem returns fromSuper Smash Bros. Melee and can be unlocked three ways: completing ten matches in VS. mode, clearing Classic Mode for the first time on any difficulty, or by clearing his debut stage in theSubspace Emissary story mode. Marth is mostly unchanged from hisMelee incarnation, with some of his moves receiving minor buffs, and like every other playable character he now wields aFinal Smash attack,Critical Hit, where he rushes forward to deliver an immensely powerful slash that deals a devastating amount of knockback.

InThe Subspace Emissary, Marth is first encountered at theBattlefield Fortress, which he fights to defend from a siege by theSubspace Army. While he holds them off at first by himself, he soon encounters and joins forces withMeta Knight to take on the army. While chasing theAncient Minister, the two meetIke, who joins them in pursuing the Subspace Army through the desert. During their desert exploration, they fight and defeatGalleom, who they send tumbling into the ruins below. Marth later joins with the rest of the characters and accompanies them in an attack on Subspace itself. Their first attempt meets withTabuu transforming everyone into a trophy with his Off Waves attack, butNess,Luigi,Kirby, andKing Dedede were not present at the time of attack and free everyone from their trophy form. Marth can be chosen to challenge Tabuu in the final battle if his trophy is collected.

Ike

Ike makes hisSuper Smash Bros. debut inBrawl as a starter character. While slow and weighty, he has a great amount of strength, due to the power of the swordRagnell, which he uses as his weapon. His recovery is very poor due to not granting much horizontal distance. Ike's jab is a good combo starter in low percent. His aerials are safe due to the range of the move and are very powerful. His Final Smash is Great Aether, where he jumps high in the air and slashes opponents that were hit by the initial move.

InThe Subspace Emissary, Ike is first seen performing an Aether onAncient Minister when he joinsMarth andMeta Knight in their journey throughout the desert. During their desert exploration, they fight and defeatGalleom, whom they send tumbling into the ruins below. Ike later joins with the rest of the characters in an attack on Subspace itself. The attempt ends with everyone turning into a trophy byTabuu, butNess,Luigi,Kirby, andKing Dedede were not present at the time. They free everyone else from trophy form, and if the player revives Ike he can be chosen in the final battle against Tabuu.

Stages

Castle Siege

This article or section is a short summary of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. SmashWiki featuresa more in-depth article.

Castle Siege (Japanese:攻城戦Siege) is the onlyFire Emblem-themed stage inBrawl and was the firstFire Emblem stage in the entireSuper Smash Bros. series. It is not based on any particular location or scene from the series, and is instead a generic castle setting drawing inspiration from the series as a whole. The stage is divided into three different segments, which automatically switch from one to the next after a set period of time:

• The first part is set atop the battlements of the castle, whileballistae fling fireballs at its walls in the background. This segment is relatively narrow, and is topped by two smaller platforms.
• The second part is set in the castle's interior halls, fighting atop a series of platforms held up by a pair of statues. Although they are not obstacles themselves, these statues can be destroyed by the players' fighting, which removes the platforms until the next time the stage shifts to this part.
• The third part is set in a lava cavern beneath the castle, atop a stone slab balancing on a thin pillar. The slab tips back and forth as the players battle across it. After this part, the stage will switch back to the first part.

Items

Assist Trophies are non-playable characters who can be summoned temporarily into a battle using the Assist Trophy item, in order to aid their summoner. OneFire Emblem character is available as an Assist Trophy.

Masterpieces

The Japanese version ofBrawl hasFire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem playable as aMasterpiece, a free time-limited trial of the game, available from the beginning. The demo allows three minutes (180 seconds) of gameplay inBook 1 Chapter 1 of the game, giving players a small taste of Marth's origins.

AsMystery of the Emblem was never released outside of Japan, it was not included in international releases ofBrawl; it andEarthBound are the only Masterpieces cut from non-Japanese versions of the game.

Trivia

• Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War andThracia 776 are the onlyFire Emblem games which existed at the time to not be referenced at all inBrawl. Every other then-available game in the series has at least some recognition inBrawl, no matter how minor.
• Data found withinBrawl shows that Roy may have originally been intended to return: both an unused graphics effect file (ef_roy.pac) and an unused fanfare appear to be linked to him, but he was likely cut due to time constraints.
• The stickers representing characters fromThe Binding Blade are referred to as appearing inFuuin no Tsurugi in the PAL version ofBrawl.
