The logo for Project+

Project+ is a successor to thegameplay modification of theBrawl modProject M (based onLegacy TE) with the aim to improve the balance among the cast by making small moveset changes to all or most characters.Project+'s development started in 2018, and version v1b was released in April 2019. On March 17, 2020,Project+ 2.0 was revealed with additional content, such as new modes, revamps to some characters' movesets such as Bowser getting a new fireball attack and Charizard gettingThunder Punch, and the reveal ofKnuckles the Echidna as the only new playable character beyond whatProject M had.Project+ 3.0 was released on June 24, 2024. The most recent update is v3.1.5 released.

Shortly after its initial release,Project+ received high levels of popularity among players. By April 8th, 2019,Project+ had received 100,000 downloads on its primary site alone.^[1] Competitively, the mod eventually became the main version to play on, effectively replacingProject M.

Changes fromProject M andLegacy TE[edit]

Like its predecessors,Project+ focuses on improving the overall gameplay. The mod has been updated to Version 3.0, bringing many significant changes from its initial release.

One of the biggest changes, which is the main focus ofProject+, is the significant removal of various bugs and memory leaks featured in version 3.6 ofProject M. These bugs are universal and pertain to either stages, movesets, alternate costumes, sounds, or previously outdated codes used inProject M. WhileProject+ still has a few bugs, they no longer impact the overall performance as easily as they did previously, thus reducing crashes and freeing a large amount of memory.Tourney mode, which previously redirected to theRotation mode due to glitches, is now replaced by a debug mode.

Thanks to the mod's bug fixes and memory expansion, new features have been included and can be expanded upon:

• An expanded music list, bringing the standard to a total of over 500 songs. In addition to the music found inProject M, songs from other games are included as either new arrangements or from their original source. These include songs fromPaper Mario andPokémon Mystery Dungeon, as well as unused tracks in Brawl's files such as "New Age Retro Hippie" fromEarthBound.
• An expanded number of the items that appear in the game, with numerous returning fromMelee. Among them includePoké Ball Pokémon likeArticuno andZapdos, which act as alternatives to Moltres, and evenAssist Trophy characters like theGoomba as alternatives to theHammer Bros., functioning identically as they did inMelee's Adventure mode andThe Subspace Emissary; unique to the Goombas is that they can also be found within anyContainer, just like inMelee. Additional items include theFlipper fromBalloon Fight and a variant of theScrew Attack based on itsMelee interpretation, where it acts as a throwable item instead of as a badge. New items include the Double Cherry fromSuper Mario 3D World, which creates a functional duplicate of the fighter who picked it up that mimics the player's movements.

Additionally,Roy,Knuckles, andMewtwo are unlocked in The Subspace Emissary after defeatingTabuu.

As mentioned by the development team, most of the changes are merely aesthetic. Noticeably, the character select screen now features a new HUD with diamond-shaped portraits, matching the theme ofProject+. The names of the characters are now completely omitted. All characters have original artwork for their select portraits, with their alternate costumes also sharing the same pose rather than having unique poses per costume, with the exception of Samus, Kirby, Ganondorf and Mr. Game & Watch, as was the case with Wario's costume inBrawl. Additionally, every fighter now has a standard of 18 costumes, with 16 in the base and two hidden skins accessible by holding R or Z.

Characters[edit]

The character selection screen inProject+.

Project+ retains the same roster asProject M, albeit with the addition ofKnuckles from theSonic the Hedgehog series. All of the characters received balance changes based on input from the competitiveProject M community. Characters previously considered low tier were given better tools to help with their viability while characters previously considered high tier were nerfed to bring them closer to the rest of the cast. Additionally, certain aspects of characters deemed oppressive or frustrating by the community were balanced in an attempt to alleviate such issues while still maintaining the appeal it had to players who had used it.

The mod marks the first time where characters have had their default designs significant revamped, with three of them no longer using their givenBrawl designs.Samus (whose design was changed to a combination of her design seen inMetroid Prime andMetroid: Samus Returns),Zero Suit Samus (whose design was changed to be similar to herOther M appearance, a concept that wasinitiallyplanned forProject M), as well asPikachu, who has a revamped model with additional fur. Many characters received a visual overhaul and major touchups to their alternate costumes inProject+: one of them isToon Link where his Outset alternate costume was upgraded and given new shirt designs based on charts inThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and his Linebeck alternate costume receiving the shield design as seen inPhantom Hourglass. The Shiny color schemes of characters likeCharizard andMewtwo now have an aesthetic effect where they sparkle like in the mainlinePokémon games during their respective intros. Lastly,Roy was given major polygon improvements to smooth out his armor and boots as well being given a cleaner and more red hair texture when compared toProject M 3.6's last revision. Roy was given a trophy which he lacked inBrawl while both Mewtwo and Knuckles had their trophy models changed.

Stages[edit]

The stage selection screen inProject+

All stages fromProject M 3.6 return. Some remain untouched, while others such asMetal Cavern,Luigi's Mansion andYoshi's Island were given new layouts for use in competitive play. In addition to all the returning stages fromSmash 64,Melee, andBrawl, 17 new stages have been added. All stages have 3 alternate layouts or skins to choose from by holding the button shown on the stage selection screen (L, Z and R on a GameCube controller).

The alternate layouts include one for Dream Land set in night, one forSpear Pillar based on the Ultra Deep Sea area ofPokémon Sun andMoon where the Mother Beast (being Lusamine, the leader of the Aether Foundation, upon being possessed by the Ultra Beast, Nihilego) is fought at the climax of the games, one for Green Hill Zone based on Marble Zone fromSonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis, one for Sky Sanctuary Zone based on Chaos Angel fromSonic Advance 3, one forPoké Floats taking place in a blue sky and featuring floats of Pokémon like Kirlia and Gengar, one forPictoChat based on the main screen ofMario Paint, one forPokémon Stadium 2 based on the area where the Kalos Region's champion, Diantha, is fought at the end ofPokémon X & Y, and one forTemple taking place in theHyrule Castle's courtyard.

Additionally, some stages have extra alts which can be accesed from a menu after pressing L+Start and R+Start on a GameCube Controller. A lot of these stages are unmodified versions of Brawl stages or the original 64 versions of stages that have been remastered. L+Start alts tend to be more casual oriented, while R+Start ones are 1:1 reskins of the default stage of that slot.

Event Matches[edit]

LikeProject M, most of the solo and Co-OpEvent matches fromBrawl were either replaced or altered to reflect on the changes to the stages or other changes made toProject+.

Tier list[edit]

ThefirstProject+ tier list was released on January 8th, 2022 for version 2.29, with a secondtier list following it three years later on March 6th, 2025 for version 3.0.5.

Between the two lists, the most notable rise was Lucario, who rose all the way to the top spot and usurped Meta Knight, who had held the position since thethirdProject M tier list for version 3.6. This rise was attributed to the nerfs other top tier characters received between the two lists, while conversely Lucario received less. Yoshi and Kirby rose double-digits due to their buffs from earlier patches finally being recognized, leading to improvements in their representation due to players such asShiny Zubat for Yoshi andAv for Kirby. Likewise, Snake's stagnant playerbase received a boost between the two lists, courtesy of Snake players such asSoulOfficer, allowing Snake to rise double-digits and reversing some of the damage done from the firstProject+ tier list.

On the other hand, the greatest drop between the two lists was the Ice Climbers, who fell almost 20 spots due to their nerfs that weakened their combo game, especially the effectiveness of their hand-off combos. In addition, Mewtwo, once considered one of the greatest characters in the game, dropped 12 spots to its lowest placement ever as more and more players began questioning its position in the metagame and pointed out its stagnant playerbase since theCOVID-19 pandemic. Likewise, Zero Suit Samus also received heavy nerfs and lost many of her best players, leading her to drop 10 spots. Finally, with Pit's playerbase remaining small, he dropped 12 spots, effectively erasing the rise he had gained in the previous tier list.

Errors[edit]

Like withProject M, due toProject+'s mainly focusing on the competitive aspect of the game, the mod experiences some errors and abnormalities regarding non-competitive aspects:

• The opening movie is unchanged fromBrawl besides from the beginning section.
  • Likewise, theHow to Play instructional movie is unchanged fromBrawl.
• The AI still inherents several of the flaws fromProject M, such as air dodging while off stage or aiming their recoveries improperly.
• The congratulations screen and video for most of the roster is unchanged fromBrawl.
• Characters exclusive to Project M, and by extension Project+, have abnormalities that aren't present in other characters:
  • Mewtwo, Roy, or Knuckles don't appear as opponents in Classic Mode.
  • Lucario,Marth andSonic's trophies in theAll Star Rest Area get duplicated if Mewtwo, Roy, or Knuckles are defeated respectively.
  • Mewtwo, Roy and Knuckles don't have Final Smash trophies for All Star Mode.
  • Roy and Knuckles useMario's "Congratulations" video.
  • The high scores for Mewtwo, Roy, or Knuckles in the single player modes and max combos for Training Mode are shared with Lucario, Marth and Sonic respectively.
  • WhenSnake usesCodec Conversations onMewtwo,Roy orKnuckles the conversation forMario plays.
  • When accessingreplays inBrawl, there are some oddities with the exclusive characters.
    • Mewtwo and Knuckles are listed as an iconless character with the names of "Pokeystatue" and "Headrobo" respectively. Roy is simply listed asMario.
    • Without the mod crashing, Mewtwo, Knuckles and Roy are shown asMario, but the name listed for the former two asGreen Alloy.
• BecauseSheik,Zelda,Samus, andZero Suit Samus have individual character slots, this can give two players the same palette swap if the corresponding characters transform into each other, without even using thesame color glitch.
• Mewtwo uses many data slots that were originally used forPokémon Trainer.
  • Clearing Classic Mode with it,Charizard,Squirtle orIvysaur will play Pokémon Trainer's "Congratulations" video and show Mewtwo's "Congratulations" screen.
  • Any records with any of the four characters are added to Mewtwo's records.
  • The Pokémon Trainer's name is changed to "Mewtwo" except in theSound Test and his character introduction inThe Subspace Emissary.
• TheSound Test is almost unedited fromBrawl.
  • The announcer's voice clips for selecting Mewtwo are missing in the sound test because it uses the unused clip for theFighting Alloy Team, which isn't present in the Sound Test. Roy's voice clip is present instead (where Pokémon Trainer's voice clip would be).
• The Subspace Emissary, while playable, contains several glitches and inconsistencies:
  • Icons for selecting the characters uses the icons fromBrawl.
    • Wario's portrait shows his WarioWare outfit.
• Pokémon Trainer-related glitches:
  • In All-Star Mode, only Charizard is fought, Squirtle and Ivysaur are absent.
  • In The Subspace Emissary, Pokémon Trainer (after obtaining all three Pokémon) defaults toCharizard.
• Like withProject M and other mods ofBrawl, the game may crash at random, mostly either due to bugs or exceeding the memory limit. This especially happens if items are turned on.
• During Challenger Approaching events, if the player is using the same character as the one they are trying to "unlock", both the player and AI will have the same palette swap.

Project+ Tournament Addition[edit]

Project+ Tournament Addition is an updated version ofProject+ that was first released on March 27th, 2022 as a successor to the game. Despite being a successor to the game, it uses Version 2.2 ofProject+ as a base.
