'''''Brawl+''''' is a gameplay [[mod]] designed to make ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' more competitive. Among the first gameplay [[mod]]s released to the public, ''Brawl+'' attained some niche appeal amongst the ''Smash'' community due to its gameplay changes. However, as the first mod of ''Brawl'' to undo many of the game's changes to more closely match ''Melee'', ''Brawl+'' was frequently controversial amongst smashers, primarily over what the mod's intentions were, with a number of critics referring to the game as "''Melee'' 2.0". ''Brawl+'s'' own staff also reportedly became antagonistic with one another due to the lack of a defined goal for the mod.

'''Brawl+''' was a modification project designed to make various aspects of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' more competitive. It no longer requires specific software to be installed to the [[Wii]]. More information can be found [http://www.smashmods.com/forum/page/bpabout.html here]. Some members of the Brawl+ community have hosted tournaments using versions of the engine, though Brawl+ hacks are not considered legal for standard Brawl tourneys. As of 2010, Brawl+ has had version 7.0.3 released, and the Brawl+ team has disbanded to finish [[Project M]], a project to do what Brawl+ originally tried to do: make ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' act like ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.  
Despite the controversy surrounding the mod, ''Brawl+'' was the first gameplay mod of ''Brawl'' to develop its own tournament scene, and it was featured as a side event at some tournaments, such as [[Apex 2010]] and [[S.N.E.S.]]
 
''Brawl+'s'' last release, version 7.0.3, was released in 2010, with most of its staff having moved onto the development of ''Brawl+'s'' spiritual successor, ''[[Project M]]''. As such, development of ''Brawl+'' is ceased, and no new releases of it are expected. In the present, ''Brawl+'' is mostly viewed as a curiosity for players who want to see how the ''Brawl'' hacking scene started.

*Since build 5.0, the [[Online Practice Stage]] is loaded whenever [[Rumble Falls]] is selected in [[Versus Mode]].

=="Melee 2.0" Claims==
Despite constant disclaimers by the supporters of the Brawl+ project, many critics of the game refer to Brawl+ as "Melee 2.0", stating that the hackers behind the making of the project are making nothing more than an attempt to "play Melee with Brawl characters and stages"; Brawl+ actually started out as a "Melee 2.0" project, which included basic codes for wavedashing and shield button-triggered L-Canceling (two features that were both in Melee, but later removed in ''Brawl''). While these codes have since been removed from Brawl+, the arguments persist, as Brawl's changes to certain moves (such as Rest) have been "undone" to match their Melee counterparts, as well as some physics changes to more closely emulate ''Melee'', such as higher hitstun and a significantly weakened stale move negation. While most complaints have subsided with the discontinuation of Brawl+ development, the "Melee 2.0" claims continue in the similar project of [[Project M]], among others.
