'''''Project+''''' is a successor to the [[gameplay modification]] of the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]'' (based on ''Legacy TE'') with the aim to improve the balance among the cast by making small moveset changes to all or most characters. ''Project+''{{'}}s development started in 2018 and version v1b was released in April 2019. On March 17, 2020, ''Project+'' 2.0 was revealed with additional content, such as new modes, revamps to some characters movesets such as Bowser getting a new fireball attack and Charizard getting {{iw|bulbapedia|Thunder Punch}}, and the reveal of [[Knuckles the Echidna]] as the only new playable character beyond what ''Project M'' had.

Like its predecessors, ''Project+'' focuses on improving the overall gameplay. The mod has been updated to Version 3.0, bringing many significant changes from its initial release.  


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 These bugs are universal and pertain to either stages, movesets, alternate costumes, sounds, or previously outdated codes used in ''Project M''.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

*[https://youtu.be/M_AhlTDguWM An expanded music list], 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.

*An expanded number of the items that appear in the game, with numerous returning from ''Melee''. Among them include [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon like [[Articuno]] and [[Zapdos]], who act as alternatives to Moltres, and even [[Assist Trophy]] characters like the [[Goomba]] as alternatives to the [[Hammer Bro|Hammer Bros.]], functioning identically as they did in [[Adventure Mode (SSBM)|''Melee's'' Adventure mode]] and  [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]]; unique to the Goombas is that they can also be found within any [[Container]], just like in ''Melee''. Additional items include the [[Flipper]] from ''Balloon Fight'' and a variant of the [[Screw Attack (item)|Screw Attack]] based on its ''Melee'' interpretation, where it acts as a throwable item instead of as a badge.

|A stage based on the second generation of ''Pokémon'' as well as its Generation IV remakes. It is set in the {{s|bulbapedia|Johto}} region, more specifically in {{s|bulbapedia|Ecruteak City}}, where players fight against the city's Gym Leader, {{s|bulbapedia|Morty}}. [[Ho-oh]] appears in the background and flies around the city's signature landmark, the Bell Tower, where it must be fought and captured later on. The stage occurs at sunset, referencing 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.

|Another stage based on the second generation of ''Pokémon'' and also set in the Johto region. It is located specifically in {{s|bulbapedia|Violet City}}, the first major city where players must triumph the signature Sprout Tower before facing it's Gym Leader, {{s|bulbapedia|Falkner}}. The stage is made up of two golden Bellsprout statues in the background, with four platforms on each side. This stage was actually [[Unused content (SSBM)|considered]] during the development of ''Melee.''
