'''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}}).

'''The Great Maze''' is the final level of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'s [[Subspace Emissary]]. After many sections of the [[World of Trophies]] are sent to Subspace, [[Tabuu]] combines all the levels of the game and mixes them all together to create one large maze which has parts from all the levels all the characters have been in. The heroes of the game are forced to go through this large maze. However, to beat this level, the player does not go to a goal. To beat it, the player must fight [[Shadow Bug#Shadow Bug Clones|Subspacial clones]] of all the characters in the game (excluding [[Toon Link (SSBB)|Toon Link]], [[Wolf (SSBB)|Wolf]], [[Sonic (SSBB)|Sonic]] and [[Jigglypuff (SSBB)|Jigglypuff]]). Aside from that, the player must also re-defeat all the [[boss]]es encountered in the game.  
[[File:OpenedLastDoor.jpg|thumb|left|The door when opened. Tabuu's wings can be seen inside.]]  
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.

There is no specific order the player must beat all the enemies – the player can also choose to play as any character that has been rescued in the preceding stages. Also, there are various Save Points and Warp Points throughout the maze. The checkpoints are indicated by the 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 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.


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]])
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|doors]] and room-to-room links are. Once the player goes through enough rooms to form a loop with the starting point, the map will also display all the locations of unbeaten characters and bosses in the form of a monster head. After the player has defeated all the characters and bosses, the player will then open a large purple door in the center of the maze, which leads to [[Tabuu's Residence]]. After the player beats Tabuu, the Great Maze is spread apart and all the levels and locations of the World of Trophies are returned to their normal state. All except for The Isle Of The Ancients, since so many Subspace Bombs went off in 1 place, the force of the Subspace was so strong on it, it could not return. This does not prevent the player from re-entering the Great Maze for completion later. Also, it is strange but afterward, the stages on the Isle Of The Ancient are still playable.

==Stage recreations==
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.

'''Tabuu's Residence''' is the common fan name given to the stage on which the player fights [[Tabuu]]. It is very similar to {{SSBB|Final Destination}}, consisting only of one similarly long and purple [[platform]], though slightly longer and differently patterned (with a central design similar to that on Tabuu's wings); and with its own background visuals, somewhat reminiscent of [[Final Destination (SSBM)|the version of Final Destination]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Its [[Music (SSBB)#Super Smash Bros. Brawl|music]] is titled ''Boss Battle Song 2''. The stage can be accessed in other modes via [[hacking]] techniques.

==Music==
The Great Maze has many different music tracks in it, some of which only appear during the fights with the dark clones or the bosses. Of these, only Pit, Fox, Falco, Captain Falcon, Snake, Olimar, and R.O.B.'s false character battle themes are not from their respective universes.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
[[File:SSEUnused.png|thumb|350px|The unused section in the Great Maze. Everything above the Ice Climbers is completely inaccessible.]]
*If you beat The Great Maze, you can come back with 6 lives; or rather, 6 [[Character|characters]].If you want to play [[ZSS]], [[Shiek]], [[Charizard]], [[Squirtle]] or [[Ivysaur]], use the C-stick on the character- select screen.
*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.
*Some parts of The Great Maze are combinations of older stages, such as [[The Forest]] with the [[Door#Day-changing doors|day-changing doors]] from [[The Lake]].
**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.
*Also, there are new areas in from the some of the older stages that didn't exist before, such as the elevator room in The Halberd, or the icy floors in The Ruined Zoo.
*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.
*Many of the stage remakes have a different music than the original versions.
*To form a loop back to Midair Stadium, at least nine bosses/false characters must be defeated: Petey Piranha, Link, Diddy Kong, Samus, Ridley, Mario, Galleom, Lucas/Wario and Lucario/Rayquaza.
*Some of the area recreations are laid out in such a way that the player will go through a level in the opposite direction from the first time.
**To unlock certain areas some bosses/Subspacial clones need to be defeated: Pit, Duon, Meta Knight, Porky, Captain Falcon, Donkey Kong, King Dedede, Falco, Meta Ridley, Pokémon Trainer, Zelda, Wario/Lucas, Rayquaza/Lucario, Ice Climbers and Ganondorf.
*There is not a single R.O.B. in the Great Maze (except the playable one). This suggests that they have all been destroyed in the Isle of Ancients.
***The Subspacial clones that have their door vanish are: Kirby, Yoshi, Snake, Mr. Game & Watch, Ness, Olimar, Pikachu, R.O.B., Bowser, Fox, Peach, Luigi, Ike and Marth.
*It's interesting to realize that The Halberd was destroyed and never entered Subspace, yet it still shows up in The Great Maze. It is possible that when the Halberd was under the control of the Subspace Army, Tabuu had a duplicate built, though this would not explain the many other locations found in the Great Maze which were never pulled into Subspace either, such as Skyworld, The Lake, etc.
*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]].
*The 'jack o'lanterns' that appear when one makes a complete loop around the maze vaguely look like Bowser's face from several ''Mario'' games, mainly the ''Mario Party'' series.
*Four stages do not appear in The Great Maze: [[The Plain]], [[The Ruined Hall]], [[The Canyon]] and [[The Subspace Bomb Factory I]].
*All the Primid types appear in this level.
*After the player finished this level, the Stage Clear page will not have the music that it has on any other stage.
*This level is one of the six levels that do not have a cutscene to start it. [[The Plain]], [[The Ruins]], [[The Swamp]], [[The Research Facility (Part II)]] and [[The Subspace Bomb Factory (Part II)]] are the other levels to have this distinction.
