Asticker (シール,Seal) is a collectible item inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, similar to atrophy. Stickers can be used inThe Subspace Emissary to boost certain aspects or stats of a character. Additionally, stickers can be added to a background and made into a collage inside the "Sticker Album" menu.

There are 700 stickers. Collecting all of them will unlock theStickers Trophy.

Collecting stickers[edit]

Compared to trophies, stickers are far more common, as there are 700 stickers total, and only a handful of trophies that can be found randomly. Stickers can be earned via the following methods:

• Stickers appear randomly in regular Brawls, as long asItem Switch is not set to none.
• Wi-Fi'sSpectator Mode can also yield stickers.
• Stickers can be dropped in The Subspace Emissary.
  • Minor enemies have a chance to drop stickers; this chance can be increased by the "Sticker Drop" boost on certain stickers.
  • Cubes have a chance to drop up to 5 stickers at a time.
  • Stickers may fall out of a defeatedBoss.
• Stickers can be won inCoin Launcher.
• Sandbag can drop stickers.
  • Some players "farm" stickers from Sandbag through the use of aCD Factory.
• WhenJirachi is released from aPoké Ball, it can drop several stickers.Mew can drop one sticker if all randomCDs are unlocked.

The maximum number of stickers the player can collect per battle is 255, and exceeding this limit will get rid of the stickers the player had collected at the time. The reason for this limit is awrapping issue; the per-battle sticker count is stored in a single byte, and when the count goes above 255 (binary 11111111) to 256 (binary 100000000), only the last 8 bits (digits) are stored, setting the count to 0.

Power-ups[edit]

Stickers being placed on a trophy base.

On Friday, Jan 18th 2008,Smash Bros. DOJO!! announced that stickers can be used as power-ups. To do so, the stickers must be placed on the undersides of character trophies. Different stickers give different boosts, as well as some that are character-specific (most of them can be used by any character). Larger stickers give higher boosts, but take up more space on the trophy base. The statistical boost is only for The Subspace Emissary and does not apply to any other modes. Applied stickers can be moved around, but removing one discards it permanently (though they can be regained through playing).

A sticker as an in-game item, withYoshi about to grab it.

Stickers with the same effects do not stack; e.g. if an Arm +13 and an Arm +20 are placed on the base of a trophy, that character will only receive the larger +20 boost to arm attacks, not +33, although an Arm/Leg sticker will stack with individual Arm and Leg stickers - i.e., an Arm/Leg + 10, an Arm +10 and a Leg+10 sticker will all combine to boost Arm and Leg attacks by 20. It is also possible for a single attack to fall under several categories, like Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch, which deals Arm, Specials: Direct, and Fire damage.

The stickers page can be accessed in The Subspace Emissary by pressing the1 orB button on the level map and selecting the "Stickers" option to the left of the "Save" option. Also, using a Continue in The Subspace Emissary deducts half of the stickers currently earned in the level.

Power-Up Effects[edit]

Each sticker has a single effect which may be any of the following. The number listed with the effect indicates how much the aspect is improved.

Attack-based effects[edit]

The largest category of stickers simply increases the damage dealt by the user's attacks.

The formula for the damage multiplier is:

${\displaystyle r=\frac{v}{80}+1}$

[Specials: Indirect] Attack is an exception and uses:

${\displaystyle r=\frac{v}{40}+1}$

Wherev is the value given by the sticker description andr is the damage multiplier;r cannot be greater than 25.675, though this can't be reached without hacking. For example, a sticker with a value of 20 will deal 1.25× damage compared to base damage. Note, in the code the sticker's value is cut in half and rounded down, resulting in every odd number being the exact same as the even number before it (e.g. 3=2, 25=24, etc.).

Icon	Effect	Description
	[Arm] Attack	Increases the damage done bypunches, slaps, pokes, and elbows.
	[Leg] Attack	Increases the damage done bykicks, knees, and stomps.
	[Arm],[Leg] Attack	Increases damage done by the previous two categories as a single sticker.
	[Head] Attack	Increases the damage done byheadbutts and the like.
	[Body] Attack	Increases the damage done byfull-body attacks such asKing Dedede'sdash attack orYoshi'sYoshi Bomb. Always paired with [Spin] attack boosts in a sticker.
	[Spin] Attack	Increases the damage done by attacks which involvespinning. Always paired with [Body] attack boosts in a sticker.
	[Tail] Attack	Increases the damage done bytail attacks. Only Yoshi,Pikachu,Diddy Kong,Pokémon Trainer,Fox,Falco, andWolf can apply stickers with this effect.
	[Bite] Attack	Increases the damage done by attacks which involvesfangs or biting. Only Yoshi,Wario,Pokémon Trainer, and Wolf can apply stickers with this effect.
	[Slash] Attack	Increases the damage done byslash attacks.
	[Weapon] Attack	Increases the damage done by anyweapon, including swords, hammers, bats, umbrellas, and so on.
	[Throwing] Attack	Increases thedamage done by throws.
	[Flame] Attack	Increases the damage done byfire-based attacks.
	[Electric] Attack	Increases the damage done byelectric attacks.
	[Freezing] Attack	Increases the damage done byice-based attacks.

	[Darkness] Attack	Increases the damage done bydark-based attacks. OnlyGanondorf can apply stickers with this effect.
	[Explosives] Attack	Increases the damage done byexplosion-based attacks.
	[Specials: Direct] Attack	Increases the damage done by moves that are considered to bedirect. The exact criteria are unknown.
	[Specials: Indirect] Attack [Indirect] Attack	Increases the damage done by moves that are considered to beindirect. This includes all projectiles and a few regular, distanced attacks.

Defense-based effects[edit]

When used, these stickers reduce the damage taken by incoming attacks.

The formula for damage reduction is:

${\displaystyle r=-\frac{v}{80}+1}$

Wherev is the value given by the sticker description andr is the damage multiplier. For example, a sticker with a reduction of 20 will cause attacks to be scaled to 0.75 of the original damage, or a damage reduction of 25%. Note, in the code the sticker's value is cut in half and rounded down, resulting in every odd number being the exact same as the even number before it (e.g. 3=2, 25=24, etc.).

To prevent the player from taking no damage, values of 80 or more set damage to 1%; this is not possible without hacking, as the highest value on a resistance sticker is 44. Values below 80 behave normally and can potentially reduce damage below 1%.

Icon	Effect	Description
	[Battering] Resistance	Decreases damage taken fromnormal attacks.
	[Slash] Resistance	Decreases damage taken from slash attacks.
	[Flame] Resistance	Decreases damage taken from fire-based attacks.
	[Electric] Resistance	Decreases damage taken from electric attacks.

Trophy[edit]

Stickers's trophy inBrawl

Stickers

In The Subspace Emissary, you can place stickers on trophy stands to augment the offensive and defensive abilities of your characters. But stickers must be applied neatly--they must be fully on the stand and must not overlap. Sticker power generally corresponds to sticker size--bigger is better. But big stickers take up more room, so you must strike a balance.

Trivia[edit]

• The internal file names of the sticker images are organized by a technical abbreviation of their console of origin, such as "DOL" forGameCube, "NTR" forNintendo DS, and "RVL" forWii. These abbreviations are references to their original codenames: Dolphin, Nitro, and Revolution, respectively. Third-party stickers are given "KONAMI" and "SEGA" designations instead, andPokémon stickers withBrawl-original artwork are under "Comp", most likely referring to The Pokémon Company.
• While seven characters can use Tail stickers, no Tail sticker can be used by all seven. They can be used by either thespace animals, or by the other four, but never both.
• Abooklet handed out at EGX 2014 states that inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, stickers andCDs are collectable, and one can see where trophies originated, all of which are false.
• Pokémon Trainer (viaSquirtle) is the only character that can equip Water-enhancing stickers, despiteMario'sF.L.U.D.D. also being Water-elemental. This is presumably because F.L.U.D.D. does not deal any damage.
• InBrawl'sBoss Battles mode, the player is unable to earn or use any sticker.
