'''The Great Maze''' ({{ja|大迷宮|Dai Meikyū}}, ''Great Maze'') is the thirty-first and final stage 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 [[False character#In The Great Maze|doppelgängers]] of almost all the [[fighter]]s in the game (excluding {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}, {{SSBB|Sheik|}}, {{SSBB|Sonic}}, {{SSBB|Toon Link}}, {{SSBB|Wolf}}, and {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}) and all of the [[boss]]es (except for {{SSBB|Master Hand}} and {{SSBB|Crazy Hand}}).

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.

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.

Once all battles are completed, a large purple door becomes accessible in the center of the maze, which leads to Tabuu's Residence. Any subspacial clone or boss that has not yet been defeated will be seen obstructing the door and can only vanish once each character or boss is defeated. 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 caused it to cease existing. In-game, the Great Maze remains on the world map afterwards so that the player can reenter it whenever they want, and the stages on the Isle of the Ancients can be replayed again (having been made inaccessible after the first completion of [[The Subspace Bomb Factory II|the second Subspace Bomb Factory]])

*Most of the re-used sections from other levels contain inaccessible areas that were part of the original level. While no enemies, doors, or other special objects can spawn there, and the collision detection is typically inactive, all of the terrain, including most platforms, are still rendered outside of the camera's view. Only a couple of rooms had any inaccessible sections actually removed.

**Since they were designed specifically for the Great Maze, new rooms do not have these areas, with one exception, in a room meant to resemble [[The Battlefield Fortress]]. Since this room never appears outside the Great Maze, this section is completely unused in the Subspace Emissary. It is unknown why this section exists; the most likely explanation is that the room was originally going to be larger, or was originally going to be used elsewhere as well.

*Despite having only four stocks at a time available for the initial playthrough, six are available on all successive playthroughs. This is likely due to two reasons; the possibility that the player did not rescue any of the trophified fighters in the previous two levels, leaving them with only five 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.

*If a [[Sacrificial KO]] is performed on a false character in the Great Maze while the player is on their last stock and holding an item, a glitch will occur where the player will reappear in the area they were previously in, no music will be played, and after a few seconds, the screen fades into the [[Continue|Continue screen]].
