'''Masterpieces''' ({{ja|名作トライアル|Meisaku Toraiaru}}, ''Masterpiece Trial'') are free time-limited trial versions of classic [[Nintendo]] titles in which the [[character]]s of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and {{forwiiu}} have appeared. When a trial's time runs out, a message appears to notify the player of the trial's conclusion. In the Wii U version of ''Smash 4'', this message also includes a link to the [[Nintendo eShop]], where the player can purchase the full, [[Virtual Console]] version of the title they just played. The game then returns to the masterpiece selection menu. To save time, Masterpieces skip games' title and opening sequences. Certain Masterpieces start at specific points of the game that are relevant to the ''Smash'' game they appear in, such as the ''{{b|Donkey Kong|game}}'' Masterpiece starting at the [[75m]] level, while games that supported saving have some built-in saves set to various points of the game. The time limit varies from game to game.

A total of 14 Masterpieces are featured in this game (12 outside of Japan). Masterpieces are sorted in-game by their Japanese release date, even in international versions of ''Brawl''. Unlockable Masterpieces are highlighted in grey and Japanese exclusive Masterpieces are highlighted in red.

NES games show up as FC and SNES games show up as SFC in the Japanese version of ''Brawl'', except for two cases noted below where a NES game shows up as FDS instead.

|[[File:Masterpiece-StarFox64-Brawl.png|100px]]||''[[Star Fox 64]]''||N64||3:00||||Has access to all menu features including the Main Game, Training Mode, and VS. mode.

Masterpieces return in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. New features include a timer displayed on the right side of the screen, the ability to buy a Masterpiece directly from the game without having to access the Nintendo eShop, the ability to pause the Masterpiece without using the HOME button, and the ability to stop the Masterpiece without the reset button, as the Wii U does not have a reset button. The NES Masterpieces contain more lag than there was in ''Brawl''. A total of 24 Masterpieces are featured in this game (23 outside of Japan), 15 of which are new. <!-- Coincidence: the 15 number is the same both inside and outside of Japan, since Japan gets FE while outside of Japan gets Earthbound. --> Masterpieces are now sorted in-game by localized release date, so Japanese, North American, and European versions list them in a different order. For example, non-Japanese versions of the game list the release date of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' as 1993 (the year the SNES ''Super Mario All-Stars'' made the levels first accessible outside of Japan), and European versions of the game list the release date of ''[[EarthBound]]'' as 2013 (the year it became available on the eShop). In the list below, they are ordered by North American release date (except for ''[[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light]]'').

As above, NES games show up as FC and SNES games show up as SFC in the Japanese version of the game, except for the noted cases where a NES game shows up as FDS instead. Unlockable Masterpieces are highlighted in grey and Japan exclusive Masterpieces are highlighted in red.

*Despite ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' being the first game in the series to introduce third-party elements, third-party masterpieces were not included before ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''.

*In non-Japanese versions of {{forwiiu}}, ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' is listed as a NES game (and not as an FDS, SNES, or VC game) even though it was never released on the original NES.

* {{uv|Pokémon}} is the only universe to be represented with a fighter in all ''Super Smash Bros.'' games to lack a masterpiece.

*''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'' is the only Masterpiece to be Japan exclusive in one game, but available internationally in the other.

**It is also the only Masterpiece in ''Brawl'' to not be on the Wii Virtual Console in any region.
