'''Masterpieces''' ({{ja|名作トライアル|Meisaku Toraiaru}}, ''Masterpiece Trial'') are free time-limited trial versions of classic [[Nintendo]] titles which the [[character]]s of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and {{forwiiu}} have appeared in. When the title's trial ends, a screen pops out and tells the player that the trial's title is ended, and tells them it now is finished and the player gets returned to the game. The full versions can be purchased for the [[Virtual Console]] (the Wii U version of ''Smash 4'' explains it in the end of the trial's title). To save the player time, Masterpieces skip the title and opening of a game. Certain Masterpieces start at specific points of the game that are relevant to the ''Smash'' game they appear in, such as the ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' 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.  

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

A total of 14 Masterpieces are featured in this game (12 outside of Japan).

===List of Masterpieces===

Masterpieces are sorted in-game by their Japanese release date, even in international versions of ''Brawl''. Unlockable Masterpieces are highlighted in yellow.

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.

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. There is also less 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. -->

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 yellow.

*[https://tcrf.net/Super_Smash_Bros._for_Wii_U#Unused_Masterpieces Unused text] in ''Smash Bros. for Wii U'' implies the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' was supposed to appear as a Masterpiece. This would have made it the only N64 Masterpiece in ''Smash Bros. for Wii U''; however, at the time of ''Smash Bros. for Wii U'''s release, N64 emulation was impossible on the Wii U, likely resulting in the Masterpiece being scrapped.

*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 {{forwiiu}}, the NES masterpieces are actually in much higher quality than the Virtual Console versions of the same games, likely due to the fact that NES emulation was done early in the Wii U's lifetime, as opposed to ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''{{'}}s 2014 release.<ref>https://www.vgfacts.com/trivia/11923/</ref>

*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.
