Editing Masterpieces

'''Masterpieces''' ({{ja|名作トライアル|Meisaku Toraiaru}}, ''Masterpiece Trial'') are time-limited trial versions of classic [[Nintendo]] titles in which the [[character]]s of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and {{forwiiu}} have appeared. Masterpiece come pre-installed with every copy of the game for free. Masterpieces are actually the entire ROM files of the games run on an emulator, almost identical to the same games available on [[Virtual Console]]. This means players are allowed to progress as far as they possibly can within the time limit. When said time limit 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 was able to 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, typically increasing with slow-paced or dialogue and menu heavy games so the player has a chance to make a meaningful amount of progression.

Masterpieces return in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. 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. --> New features include a timer displayed on the right side of the screen, 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). NES and SNES Masterpieces feature a prompt to purchase the game from the eShop before and after the demo, while Game Boy Masterpieces tell the player after the demo that they can purchase the game from the 3DS eShop. All Masterpieces that were carried over from ''Brawl'' now have longer time limits, with the exception of ''EarthBound''/''Mother 2'' whose time limit stayed the same.

''Smash Wii U'' also introduces third-party Masterpieces, chiefly ''[[Mega Man 2]]'' and ''{{b|Pac-Man|game}}'', and Masterpieces that do not represent a character, as ''{{b|Pilotwings|game}}'' represents the stage of the same name and ''{{b|Balloon Fight|game}}'' officially represents Villager's up special move (as Villager using the move appears on the game's portrait instead of a Balloon Fighter).
