'''The Research Facility''' ({{ja|研究施設|Kenkyū Shisetsu}}, ''Research Facility'') is the tenth stage of the [[Subspace Emissary]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. | |||
==Overview== | |||
At the beginning of the level, Zero Suit Samus is shown breaking into the Research Facility though a ventilation duct. The first area of the level is very straightforward and short. The player goes right and finds an elevator. After destroying a few [[R.O.B. Squad|R.O.B.]]s (mostly Sentries) she encounters Pikachu, who is being harnessed for its electrical power. She breaks Pikachu out, which sets off many of the numerous alarms on the [[Isle of the Ancients]]. R.O.B.s come swarming in and Zero Suit Samus and Pikachu destroy them. | |||
After the player gains Pikachu, however, the level takes a far more confusing design. The level branches into three paths from a single large room (containing a rotating platform wheel such as those found in the [[Stage Builder]], but two of the paths cannot be traversed until the player traverses another specific path.) In the first path, started from the bottom-right corner of the fork-room, the player commands a large platform-like vehicle to move to an area in the next path. In this path, accessed from the far right of the fork-room, the player rides the vehicle from before across a large gap to a switch, which causes large, jagged blocks to fall from the path above. In the final path, accessed from above the rotating wheel in the fork-room (and also featuring an indoor waterfall), the fallen blocks, previously acting as a wall, can now be used as platforms to reach the end of the level, but are strewn with dangerous [[Quark Mine]]s. | |||
After a rather confusing journey through the facility, the stage is finished. Before the player clears the stage, they will see a cutscene of Samus staring at a monitor which displays her [[Samus (SSBB)|Power Suit]]. Zero Suit Samus and Pikachu will then join the team. | |||

*After the 4 door hallway, ''{{SSBBMusicLink|Metroid|Multiplayer (Metroid Prime 2)}}'' plays. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*Samus breaking into the facility on her Zero Suit is quite similar to the last part of ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', where she snuck into Ridley's mothership after losing her Power Suit. However, Samus in that game lost her original, weaker suit in a crash, then received the iconic, bulky-shouldered Varia Suit after completing an ancient Chozo test. | |||
*Pikachu's cry in its introductory cutscene where Samus saves it is lifted directly from its yawning from the ''Pokémon'' anime's first episode, ''Pokémon, I Choose You!''. | |||
**Funnily enough, the cry was used in another game prior to ''Brawl'', and by extension, the entire ''Super Smash Bros.'' series: ''Pokémon Snap'' for the Nintendo 64. | |||
