'''''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.

By April | Shortly after its initial release, ''Project+'' received high levels of popularity among players.

Since its release, ''Project+'' has become the main mod over ''Project M'' in several tournaments, most notably and recently {{Trn|Blacklisted 5}}, {{Trn|Low Tier City 7}}, and {{Trn|The Encore}}, with many majors switching from ''Project M'' over to ''Project+''. | ||
==Changes from ''Project M'' and ''Legacy TE''== | ==Changes from ''Project M'' and ''Legacy TE''== | ||
Like | Like the mods ''Project+'' was based on, this mod focuses on improving the overall gameplay. While ''Project+'' has many minor changes, these are a handful of the noteworthy ones. | ||
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 These bugs are universal and pertain to either stages, movesets, alternate costumes, sounds, or previously outdated codes used in ''Project M''.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. | 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''.

[[Tourney]] mode, which previously redirected to the [[Rotation]] mode due to glitches, is now replaced by a debug mode. | ||
Many more music tracks were also added, 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''. Thanks to the bug fixes and memory expansion, it is now completely possible to [https://youtu.be/M_AhlTDguWM add music] without replacing songs in the default game. | |||
As mentioned by the development team, most of the changes are merely aesthetic. Noticeably, the character select screen now features a new HUD, matching the theme of ''Project+'', and includes diamond portraits. The names of the character 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 17 costumes, with 15 in the base and two hidden skins accessible by holding R or Z. | |||
Version 2.5 adds [[Articuno]] and [[Zapdos]] as alternatives to Moltres when summoned from a [[Poké Ball]], and also adds [[Goomba]]s as alternatives to [[Hammer Bro]]s. when summoned from an [[Assist Trophy]], as well as the [[Flipper]] from ''Melee'' and a variant of the [[Screw Attack (item)|Screw Attack]] based on its . ''Melee'' interpretation. The aforementioned Assist Trophies can also be found within [[Container]]s, like in ''Melee''. Additionally, [[Roy (PM)|Roy]], [[Knuckles (P+)|Knuckles]], and [[Mewtwo (PM)|Mewtwo]] are unlocked in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]] after defeating [[Tabuu]], along with other tweaks to characters, stages, modes, and items. | |||
