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 These bugs are universal and pertain to either stages, movesets, alternate costumes, sounds, or previously outdated codes used in ''Project M''.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. | |||

''Project+'' retains the same roster as ''Project M'', albeit with the addition of | ''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 two of them no longer using their given ''Brawl'' designs. The first is {{PM|Samus}} (whose design was changed to a combination of her design seen in ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid: Samus Returns''), and the second is {{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''). 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. | The mod marks the first time where characters have had their default designs significant revamped, with two of them no longer using their given ''Brawl'' designs.

In addition | In addition, along with the remaining stages from ''[[Super Smash Bros.|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: | ||
*Bell Tower - A stage inspired by Generation II of the ''Pokémon'' franchise (''Gold'', ''Silver'', and ''Crystal'') as well as their Generation IV remakes. It is located in the Johto region, more specifically Ecruteak City, where players fight against the city's Gym Leader, Morty. [[Ho-oh]] appears in the background and flies in front of the signature Bell Tower, where it must be fought and captured. The stage occurs at sunset, a reference to the title screen of ''Pokémon HeartGold''. Bell Tower has a large platform that periodically shifts to a nearby building below and then back up again. A similar concept for a Gen II ''Pokémon'' stage was [[Unused content (SSBM)|actually planned]] for ''Melee'', the Sprout Tower, which appears as an alternative version of the stage by holding the Z Button while selecting it. | |||
*Ceres Space Colony - A stage based on the same location seen in ''Super Metroid'', which also contains a [[Metroid (creature)|Metroid]] in it. It also uses the layout of [[Norfair]] seen in ''Project M''. | |||
*Clock Town - A stage inspired by ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask''. It is located in the game's central hub, Clock Town. In the background is the signature clock tower located in South Clock Town, where [[Young Link]] begins his journey, and behind the tower is the [[Moon]]. The stage has a day-night cycle based on the three-day cycle in ''Majora's Mask'', in which the moon draws closer as the time progresses. The cycle lasts for eight minutes, and restarts after it ends; near the end of the cycle, [[Skull Kid]] appears and causes the moon to come close to the tower. | |||
*Cookie Country - A stage inspired by ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''. It is located in Cookie Country, the first level of the game, specifically the first stage of Cookie Country, where Kirby begins his journey. | |||
*Dead Line - A stage inspired by ''Sonic Rush''. It is located in Dead Line, the seventh zone for both [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and Blaze's stories. It has a swinging platform similar to [https://web.archive.org/web/20150319024556/http://projectmgame.com/en/stages/green-hill-zone Green Hill Zone], but has a much larger main platform, and four extra platforms, two on each side of the swinging platform, that periodically move around. | |||
*Dinosaur Land - Returning from ''Melee'', it is a renamed version of [[Yoshi's Island (SSBM)]]. | *Dinosaur Land - Returning from ''Melee'', it is a renamed version of [[Yoshi's Island (SSBM)]]. | ||
*Dracula's Castle (not [[Dracula's Castle]] of SSBU) - A stage inspired by the ''[[Castlevania]]'' franchise. It is located in Dracula's Castle, a frequently recurring area in the series, being the lair of the aforementioned [[Dracula]]. The version found in this game is specifically based on the castle's appearance in the Dimensional Rift stage of ''Castlevania Judgment''. Originally in ''Project M'', it was removed in 3.6 due to copyright concerns. It features periodically moving platforms similar to [https://web.archive.org/web/20151022132058/http://projectmgame.com:80/en/stages/delfino-s-secret Delfino's Secret]. | |||

The stage contains two slanted platforms, with the teleporter and signpost from the game appearing in the background. In version 2.4, its visual appearance is changed to resemble its appearance in ''Sonic Generations''. | |||

*Venus Lighthouse - A new stage inspired by the ''[[Golden Sun]]'' franchise. In the first game, the Venus Tower is the final location in [[Isaac]]'s quest to save Vale; the stage takes place on the very top of the tower, where the game's final boss is located. The tower can be seen breaking open with a gigantic sphere of psynergy, referencing the ending of ''Golden Sun'' where the tower has been activated. It closes after a few seconds. | |||
