'''The Great Maze''' ({{ja|大迷宮|Dai Meikyū}}, ''Great Maze'') is the | '''The Great Maze''' ({{ja|大迷宮|Dai Meikyū}}, ''Great Maze'') is the 31st and final level of the [[Subspace Emissary]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. After many sections of the [[World of Trophies]] are sent to [[Subspace]], [[Tabuu]] creates a large maze made of sections from most of the previously visited levels in the game. To complete this, the player must win a number of battles, against vicious [[False character#In The Great Maze|Subspacial clones]] of almost all the characters in the game (excluding {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}, {{SSBB|Sheik|}}, {{SSBB|Sonic}}, {{SSBB|Toon Link}}, {{SSBB|Wolf}}, and {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}), and against all of the [[boss]]es (except for {{SSBB|Master Hand}} and {{SSBB|Crazy Hand}}). | ||

There is no specific order in which the player must beat all the enemies, and it is possible to play as any character that has been rescued so far. [[Save Point]]s and Warp points are dispersed throughout the maze. These two types of checkpoints are indicated by the ''Smash Bros.'' emblem mounted on a trophy stand and look like a forest clearing with a Subspace rip in the fabric of the sky. Save Points restore the player's stock to 4 (6 in later runs) and damage to 0%, as well as letting the player re-select characters or fiddle with stickers. Warp Points are identical but also allow teleportation between other visited Warp Points, as well as serving as both entry and exit points to and from the maze itself. | There is no specific order in which the player must beat all the enemies, and it is possible to play as any character that has been rescued so far.

Pausing at any time displays a map of all visited rooms, as well as the player's current position inside a room and where [[door]]s and room-to-room links are. Once enough rooms have been visited to form a loop with the starting point, the map will also display all the locations of unbeaten characters and bosses with icons in the form of a monster head. | Pausing at any time displays a map of all visited rooms, as well as the player's current position inside a room and where [[door]]s and room-to-room links are.

Upon winning this final battle, in-story the Great Maze is spread apart and all the levels and locations of the [[World of Trophies]] are returned to their normal state. The [[Isle of the Ancients]], however, is not restored: the great number of Subspace Bombs going off in one place has taken it beyond repair. In-game, the Great Maze remains on the world map afterwards so that the player can reenter it for completion later, and the stages on the Isle of the Ancients are still playable. | ||

Some parts of The Great Maze are combinations of older stages, with many having slight modifications and different music from than the originals. This includes [[The Forest]] with the [[Door#Day-changing doors|day-changing doors]] from [[The Lake]] and [[The Research Facility (Part II)|The Research Facility]] with the three-switch doors from the [[Subspace Bomb Factory (Part II)|Subspace Bomb Factory]]. Some of these stages sport new areas, such as the elevator rooms in The Halberd and The Research Facility, the mountain entrance to The Battlefield Fortress, the icy floors in The Ruined Zoo, the triple switch doors in the Research Facility, and the day-changing doors section in The Forest. In addition, all three of the Halberd's playable sections appear in the Great Maze despite the Halberd being destroyed and never entering Subspace. Lastly, some of the areas are laid out in such a way that the player will go through a level in the opposite direction, such as the Ruined Zoo, the Wilds, and the Battlefield Fortress. And since the [[R.O.B. Squad]] was destroyed in the Isle of the Ancients, they do not appear as enemies in the Great Maze. | Some parts of The Great Maze are combinations of older stages, with many having slight modifications and different music from than the originals.

*Despite having only 4 stocks at a time available for the initial playthrough, 6 are available on all successive playthroughs. This is likely due to two reasons; the possibility that the player did not retrieve any trophies in Subspace Part I and II, leaving them with only 5 characters for the entirety of the Great Maze (Bowser, King Dedede, Kirby, Luigi, and Ness, with Sonic not appearing until the end) and that subsequent playthroughs do not allow for a refreshed stock post-cutscene before Tabuu. | |||
*To form a loop back to Midair Stadium, at least 9 bosses/Subspacial clones must be defeated: Petey Piranha, Link, Diddy Kong, Samus, Ridley, Mario, Galleom, Lucas/Wario, and Lucario/Rayquaza. | |||
