'''''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.

Like its predecessors, ''Project+'' focuses on improving the overall gameplay. The game has been updated to Version 2.5, bringing many significant changes rom 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 These bugs are universal and pertain to either stages, movesets, alternate costumes, sounds, or previously outdated codes used in ''Project M''.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.

*An expanded number of the items that appear in the game, with numerous returning from ''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.
