'''''Fire Emblem: Monsho no Nazo''''' ({{ja|ファイアーエムブレム　紋章の謎}}, ''Faiāemuburemu: Monshō no Nazo'', '''Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem''') is the third installment of the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} game series, developed by Intelligent Systems and published by [[Nintendo]], and released only in Japan.  It was remade in 2010 for Nintendo DS as ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Shin Monshou no Nazo, Hikari to Kage no Eiyuu}}'', itself also unreleased internationally.

The game takes place on the continent of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Archanea}} and stars [[Marth]], one of the series' representatives in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series. The game is comprised of two halves, or "books": the first book, the "War of Shadows", is a compressed remake of the Japan-only ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light}}'', the debut of both the series and Marth which was later remade again as the internationally-released ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon}}''.  The second book, the "War of Heroes", is a completely new sequel to the story of the first book; colloquially, mentioning this game is often taken to refer to the second book alone.  

The {{s|fireemblemwiki|Falchion}}, Marth's divine blade from this game, acts as the ''Fire Emblem'' franchise's symbol in the {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} series.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==

Marth was introduced to the series as an [[Secret character|unlockable]] playable character. His inclusion, along with that of [[Roy (SSBM)|Roy]], gave the series the worldwide exposure that led to the decision to release future ''Fire Emblem'' installments globally.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==

In the Japanese release, a playable demo of the [[Wikipedia:Virtual Console|Virtual Console]] release of ''Fire Emblem: Monsho no Nazo'' is included. It is absent from North American and [[Wikipedia:PAL|PAL]] releases of ''Brawl''.

Marth returns as an unlockable character. With the introduction of [[Final Smash]]es, Marth gained the [[Critical Hit]] Final Smash, based on a common role-playing game concept [[fireemblemwiki:Critical hit|used by the series]], where a rare lucky blow will deal triple the normal amount of damage.

 

===[[Stickers]]===

There are three stickers featuring characters of ''Fire Emblem: Monsho no Nazo'':

*''Monsho no Nazo'' is the only Japan-exclusive ''Fire Emblem'' title listed in the North American release of ''Brawl'' not to receive an English translation. Nintendo's policy of preserving as many original Japanese aspects as possible for their "Import" Virtual Console releases led some to speculate the title's lack of translation may be signs of intent for an upcoming release abroad; however, in the years since, no movements have been made to give any ''Fire Emblem'' title a Virtual Console rerelease internationally, and the Nintendo DS remake of this game was also not given an international release.
