'''''Project+''''' is a successor to the [[gameplay modification]] of the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]'' (based on ''Legacy TE'') with the aim to improve the balance among the cast by making small moveset changes to all or most characters. ''Project+''{{'}}s development started in 2018, and version v1b was released in April 2019. On March 17, 2020, ''Project+'' 2.0 was revealed with additional content, such as new modes, revamps to some characters' movesets such as Bowser getting a new fireball attack and Charizard getting {{iw|bulbapedia|Thunder Punch}}, and the reveal of [[Knuckles the Echidna]] as the only new playable character beyond what ''Project M'' had. ''Project+'' 3.0 was released on June 24, 2024.

Shortly after its initial release, ''Project+'' received high levels of popularity among players. By April 8th, 2019, ''Project+'' had received 100,000 downloads on its primary site alone.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/boikish/status/1247620649104879617|title=100,000 netplay build downloads}}</ref> Competitively, the mod eventually became the main version to play on, effectively replacing ''Project M''.

==Changes from ''Project M'' and ''Legacy TE''==
Like its predecessors, ''Project+'' focuses on improving the overall gameplay. The mod has been updated to Version 3.0, bringing many significant changes from its initial release. 

One of the biggest changes, which is the main focus of ''Project+'', is the significant removal of various bugs and memory leaks featured in version 3.6 of ''Project M''. These bugs are universal and pertain to either stages, movesets, alternate costumes, sounds, or previously outdated codes used in ''Project M''. While ''Project+'' still has a few bugs, they no longer impact the overall performance as easily as they did previously, thus reducing crashes and freeing a large amount of memory. [[Tourney]] mode, which previously redirected to the [[Rotation]] mode due to glitches, is now replaced by a debug mode.

Thanks to the mod's bug fixes and memory expansion, new features have been included and can be expanded upon: 
*[https://youtu.be/M_AhlTDguWM An expanded music list], bringing the standard to a total of over 500 songs. In addition to the music found in ''Project M'', songs from other games are included as either new arrangements or from their original source. These include songs from ''Paper Mario'' and ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'', as well as unused tracks in Brawl's files such as "New Age Retro Hippie" from ''EarthBound''. 
*An expanded number of the items that appear in the game, with numerous returning from ''Melee''. Among them include [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon like [[Articuno]] and [[Zapdos]], which act as alternatives to Moltres, and even [[Assist Trophy]] characters like the [[Goomba]] as alternatives to the [[Hammer Bro|Hammer Bros.]], functioning identically as they did in [[Adventure Mode (SSBM)|''Melee's'' Adventure mode]] and  [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]]; unique to the Goombas is that they can also be found within any [[Container]], just like in ''Melee''. Additional items include the [[Flipper]] from ''Balloon Fight'' and a variant of the [[Screw Attack (item)|Screw Attack]] based on its ''Melee'' interpretation, where it acts as a throwable item instead of as a badge. New items include the Double Cherry from ''Super Mario 3D World'', which creates a functional duplicate of the fighter who picked it up that mimics the player's movements.

Additionally, [[Roy (PM)|Roy]], [[Knuckles (P+)|Knuckles]], and [[Mewtwo (PM)|Mewtwo]] are unlocked in The Subspace Emissary after defeating [[Tabuu]]. 

As mentioned by the development team, most of the changes are merely aesthetic. Noticeably, the character select screen now features a new HUD with diamond-shaped portraits, matching the theme of ''Project+''. The names of the characters are now completely omitted. All characters have original artwork for their select portraits, with their alternate costumes also sharing the same pose rather than having unique poses per costume, with the exception of Samus, Kirby and Ganondorf, as was the case with Wario's costume in ''Brawl''. Additionally, every fighter now has a standard of 18 costumes, with 16 in the base and two hidden skins accessible by holding R or Z.

==Characters==
[[File:ProjectPlusCSS.png|thumb|300px|The character selection screen in ''Project+''.]]
''Project+'' retains the same roster as ''Project M'',  albeit with the addition of [[Knuckles]] from the {{uv|Sonic the Hedgehog}} series. All of the characters received balance changes based on input from the competitive ''Project M'' community. Characters previously considered low tier were given better tools to help with their viability while characters previously considered high tier were nerfed to bring them closer to the rest of the cast. Additionally, certain aspects of characters deemed oppressive or frustrating by the community were balanced in an attempt to alleviate such issues while still maintaining the appeal it had to players who had used it.

The mod marks the first time where characters have had their default designs significant revamped, with three of them no longer using their given ''Brawl'' designs. {{PM|Samus}} (whose design was changed to a combination of her design seen in ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid: Samus Returns''), {{PM|Zero Suit Samus}} (whose design was changed to be similar to her ''Other M'' appearance, a concept that was [https://twitter.com/ProjectMGame/status/664263018893746184/ initially][https://twitter.com/ProjectMGame/status/666771253152374784/ planned] for ''Project M''), as well as {{PM|Pikachu}}, who has a revamped model with additional fur. Many characters received a visual overhaul and major touchups to their alternate costumes in ''Project+'': one of them is {{PM|Toon Link}} where his Outset alternate costume was upgraded and given new shirt designs based on charts in ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'', and his Linebeck alternate costume receiving the shield design as seen in ''Phantom Hourglass''. The Shiny color schemes of characters like {{PM|Charizard}} and {{PM|Mewtwo}} now have an aesthetic effect where they sparkle like in the mainline ''Pokémon'' games during their respective intros. Lastly, {{PM|Roy}} was given major polygon improvements to smooth out his armor and boots as well being given a cleaner and more red hair texture when compared to ''Project M'' 3.6's last revision. Roy was given a trophy which he lacked in ''Brawl'' while both Mewtwo and Knuckles had their trophy models changed.

==Stages==
[[File:ProjectPlusStages.png|thumb|300px|The stage selection screen in ''Project+'']]

All stages from ''Project M'' 3.6 return. Some remain untouched, while others such as [[Metal Cavern]], [[Luigi's Mansion]] and {{SSBB|Yoshi's Island}} were given new layouts for competitive use. Battlefield and Final Destination have a 4th hidden alternate that accesses their appearances in the 1P Mode of the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' 

In addition to all the returning stages from ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Smash 64]]'', ''[[Melee]]'', and ''[[Brawl]]'', 17 new stages have been added; they all have 3 alternate layouts or skins to choose from by holding the button shown on the stage selection screen:

[[File:CastlevaniaSymbol.svg|20px|class=invert-dark]]
|A stage inspired by the ''[[Castlevania]]'' series. It is located in Dracula's Castle, a frequently recurring area in the series, being the lair of the aforementioned [[Dracula]].

==Returning stages==
*Dinosaur Land - Returning from ''Melee'', it is a renamed version of [[Yoshi's Island (SSBM)]].
*[[Figure-8 Circuit|Mario Circuit]] - A returning stage from ''Brawl''.
*Frigate Husk - A stage replacing [[Frigate Orpheon]].
*[[Green Hill Zone]] - Visual appearance changed to resemble its appearance in ''Sonic Generations''.
*[[Kongo Jungle]] - Completely remade to match [[Dream Land]], [[Hyrule Castle]] and [[Peach's Castle]]'s similar HD remakes from ''Project M''.
*[[Mushroom Kingdom (SSB)]]
*[[Planet Zebes]] - A HD reimagining of the N64 stage of the same name, with a new design inspired by the opening area of ''Metroid: Zero Mission''. Holding the X button before choosing the stage will instead load [[Brinstar]].
*[[Poké Floats]]
*[[Princess Peach's Castle]]
*[[Rainbow Cruise]]
*[[Sector Z]] - Completely remade to match Dream Land, Hyrule Castle and Peach's Castle's similar HD remakes from ''Project M''.
*[[Yoshi's Story]] - Visually redone to better represent how it looks in ''Melee''.
*[[WarioWare, Inc.]] - The stage rewards Turbo mode when succeeding in a microgame like in ''Project M'', and the X button can be held before selecting the stage for Brawl rewards as well.

The alternate layouts include one for Dream Land set in night, one for Yoshi's Story based on Shy Guy's Toy Box from ''Paper Mario'', one for [[Spear Pillar]] based on the Ultra Deep Sea area of ''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Moon'' where the Mother Beast (being Lusamine, the leader of the Aether Foundation, upon being possessed by the Ultra Beast, Nihilego) is fought at the climax of the games, one for Green Hill Zone based on Marble Zone from ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' on Sega Genesis, one for Sky Sanctuary Zone based on Chaos Angel from ''Sonic Advance 3'', one for [[Poké Floats]] taking place in a blue sky and featuring floats of Pokémon like Kirlia and Gengar, one for [[PictoChat]] based on the main screen of ''Mario Paint'', one for [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] based on the area where the Kalos Region's champion, Diantha, is fought at the end of ''Pokémon X & Y'', and one for [[Hyrule Castle]] taking place in the castle's courtyard.

==Tier list==
The [[Template:PMTiers/6|first ''Project+'' tier list]] was released on January 8th, 2022, with a second following it three years later.

Between the two lists, the most notable rise was Lucario, who rose all the way to the top spot and usurped Meta Knight, who had held the position since the third ''Project M'' v3.6 tier list. This rise was attributed to the nerfs other top tier characters received between the two lists, while conversely Lucario received less. Yoshi and Kirby rose double-digits due to their buffs from earlier patches finally being recognized, leading to improvements in their representation due to players such as {{Sm|Shiny Zubat}} for Yoshi and {{Sm|Av}} for Kirby. Likewise, Snake's stagnant playerbase received a boost between the two lists, courtesy of Snake players such as {{Sm|SoulOfficer}}, allowing Snake to rise double-digits and reversing some of the damage done from the first ''Project+'' tier list. 

On the other hand, the greatest drop between the two lists was the Ice Climbers, who fell almost 20 spots due to their nerfs that weakened their combo game, especially the effectiveness of their hand-off combos. In addition, Mewtwo, once considered one of the greatest characters in the game, dropped 12 spots to its lowest placement ever as more and more players began questioning its position in the metagame and pointed out its stagnant playerbase since the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. Likewise, Zero Suit Samus also received heavy nerfs and lost many of her best players, leading her to drop 10 spots. Finally, with Pit's playerbase remaining small, he dropped 12 spots, effectively erasing the rise he had gained in the previous tier list.
{{PMTiers/7}}

==Errors==
Like with ''Project M'', due to ''Project+''{{'}}s mainly focusing on the competitive aspect of the game, the mod experiences some errors and abnormalities regarding non-competitive aspects:
*The opening movie is unchanged from ''Brawl'' besides from the beginning section. 
**Likewise, the {{SSBB|How to Play}} instructional movie is unchanged from ''Brawl''.
*The AI still inherents several of the flaws from ''Project M'', such as air dodging while off stage or aiming their recoveries improperly.
*The congratulations screen and video for most of the roster is unchanged from ''Brawl''.
*Characters exclusive to Project M, and by extension Project+, have abnormalities that aren't present in other characters:
**Mewtwo, Roy, or Knuckles don't appear as opponents in Classic Mode.
**{{PM|Lucario}}, {{PM|Marth}} and {{PM|Sonic}}'s trophies in the [[All Star Rest Area]] get duplicated if Mewtwo, Roy, or Knuckles are defeated respectively.
**In Classic Mode's [[Character Roll Call]] shooting sequence, when using either Mewtwo, Roy, or Knuckles, the character selected will be displayed as Mario instead.
**Roy and Knuckles use {{PM|Mario}}'s "Congratulations" video. 
**The high scores for Mewtwo, Roy, or Knuckles in the single player modes and max combos for Training Mode are shared with Lucario, Marth and Sonic respectively.
**When {{PM|Snake}} uses [[Codec Conversations]] on {{PM|Mewtwo}}, {{PM|Roy}} or {{PM|Knuckles}} the conversation for {{PM|Mario}} plays.
**When accessing [[replay]]s in ''Brawl'', there are some oddities with the exclusive characters.
***Mewtwo and Knuckles are listed as an iconless character with the names of "[[Porky Statue|Pokeystatue]]" and "[[Galleom|Headrobo]]" respectively. Roy is simply listed as {{SSBB|Mario}}.
***Without the mod crashing, Mewtwo, Knuckles and Roy are shown as {{SSBB|Mario}}, but the name listed for the former two is {{SSBB|Green Alloy}}.
*Because {{PM|Sheik}}, {{PM|Zelda}}, {{PM|Samus}}, and {{PM|Zero Suit Samus}} have individual character slots, this can give two players the same palette swap if the corresponding characters transform into each other, without even using the [[same color glitch]].
*Mewtwo uses many data slots that were originally used for {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}.
**Clearing Classic Mode with it, {{PM|Charizard}}, {{PM|Squirtle}} or {{PM|Ivysaur}} will play Pokémon Trainer's "Congratulations" video and show Mewtwo's "Congratulations" screen.
**Any records with any of the four characters are added to Mewtwo's records. 
**The Pokémon Trainer's name is changed to "Mewtwo" except in the [[Sound Test]] and his character introduction in [[The Subspace Emissary]].
*The [[Sound Test]] is almost unedited from ''Brawl''.
**The announcer's voice clips for selecting Mewtwo are missing in the sound test because it uses the unused clip for the [[Fighting Alloy Team]], which isn't present in the Sound Test. Roy's voice clip is present instead (where Pokémon Trainer's voice clip would be).
*[[The Subspace Emissary]], while playable, contains several glitches and inconsistencies:
**Icons for selecting the characters uses the icons from [[Brawl]].
***Wario's portrait shows his WarioWare outfit.
*{{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}-related glitches:
**In All-Star Mode, Charizard will be fought with three stocks instead of having Squirtle and Ivysaur.
**In The Subspace Emissary, Pokémon Trainer (after obtaining all three Pokémon) defaults to {{PM|Charizard}}.
*Like with ''Project M'' and other mods of ''Brawl'', the game may crash at random, mostly either due to bugs or exceeding the memory limit. This especially happens if items are turned on.

==''Project+ Tournament Addition''==
''Project+ Tournament Addition'' is an updated version of ''Project+'' that was first released on March 27th, 2022 as a successor to the game. Despite being a successor to the game, it uses Version 2.2 of ''Project+'' as a base. Thus, alterations that were carried over from Version 2.3 onwards (like the costume reworks for characters from ''The Legend of Zelda'', Lucario's Shiny eye color, etc.) don't appear. The following changes were made compared to ''Project+'' in terms of character costumes and stages.

*Most character artwork is altered, and the menu UI receives a pink coloration.
*[[Mario (PM)|Mario]] gains a costume based on [[mariowiki:Flying Mario|Flying Mario]] from ''Super Mario Galaxy'', a costume based on [[mariowiki:Ice Mario|Ice Mario]] from ''New Super Mario Bros.
