'''''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.

==Changes from ''Project M'' and ''Legacy TE''== | ==Changes from ''Project M'' and ''Legacy TE''== | ||
Like | 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 These bugs are universal and pertain to either stages, movesets, alternate costumes, sounds, or previously outdated codes used in ''Project M''.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. | 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''.

[[Tourney]] mode, which previously redirected to the [[Rotation]] mode due to glitches, is now replaced by a debug mode. | ||
Thanks to the mod's bug fixes and memory expansion, new features have been included and can be expanded upon: | |||
*[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. These include songs from ''Paper Mario'' and ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'', as well as unused tracks in Brawl's files such as "New Age Retro Hippie" from ''EarthBound''. | |||
*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. New items include the Double Cherry from ''Super Mario 3D World'', which creates a functional duplicate of the fighter who picked it up that mimics the player's movements. | |||

As mentioned by the development team, most of the changes are merely aesthetic. Noticeably, the character select screen now features a new HUD with diamond-shaped portraits, matching the theme of ''Project+''.. The names of the character are now completely omitted. All characters have original artwork for their select portraits, with their alternate costumes also sharing the same pose rather than having unique poses per costume, with the exception of Samus, Kirby and Ganondorf, as was the case with Wario's costume in ''Brawl''. Additionally, every fighter now has a standard of 18 costumes, with 16 in the base and two hidden skins accessible by holding R or Z. | |||

''Project+'' retains the same roster as ''Project M'', albeit with the addition of Knuckles from the {{uv|Sonic the Hedgehog}} series. All of the characters received balance changes based on input from the competitive ''Project M'' community. Characters previously considered low tier were given better tools to help with their viability while characters previously considered high tier were nerfed to bring them closer to the rest of the cast. Additionally, certain aspects of characters deemed oppressive or frustrating by the community were balanced in an attempt to alleviate such issues while still maintaining the appeal it had to players who had used it. | ''Project+'' retains the same roster as ''Project M'', albeit with the addition of [[Knuckles]] from the {{uv|Sonic the Hedgehog}} series.

The mod marks the first time where characters have had their default designs significant revamped, with two of them no longer using their given ''Brawl'' designs. The first is {{PM|Samus}} (whose design was changed to a combination of her design seen in ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid: Samus Returns''), and the second is {{PM|Zero Suit Samus}} (whose design was changed to be similar to her ''Other M'' appearance, a concept that was [https://twitter.com/ProjectMGame/status/664263018893746184/ initially][https://twitter.com/ProjectMGame/status/666771253152374784/ planned] for ''Project M''). Many characters received a visual overhaul and major touchups to their alternate costumes in ''Project+'': one of them is {{PM|Toon Link}} where his Outset alternate costume was upgraded and given new shirt designs based on charts in ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'', and his Linebeck alternate costume receiving the shield design as seen in ''Phantom Hourglass''. The Shiny color schemes of characters like {{PM|Charizard}} and {{PM|Mewtwo}} now have an aesthetic effect where they sparkle like in the mainline ''Pokémon'' games during their respective intros. Lastly, {{PM|Roy}} was given major polygon improvements to smooth out his armor and boots as well being given a cleaner and more red hair texture when compared to ''Project M'' 3.6's last revision. Roy was given a trophy which he lacked in ''Brawl'' while both Mewtwo and Knuckles had their trophy models changed. | The mod marks the first time where characters have had their default designs significant revamped, with two of them no longer using their given ''Brawl'' designs.

On January 9, 2022, the first-ever Project+ [https://smashboards.com/threads/new-official-project-v-2-29-tier-list-released.516700/ tier list], coordinated by {{Sm|Sabre}} and {{Sm|Motobug}}, was released. It was created using ballots from the following players: {{Sm|Blue}}, {{Sm|Boringman}}, {{Sm|Cloudburst}}, {{Sm|Comb}}, {{Sm|Fearless}}, {{Sm|Kycse}}, {{Sm|Malachi}}, {{Sm|Motobug}}, {{Sm|Nogh}}, {{Sm|Rongunshu}}, {{Sm|Tealz}}, {{Sm|The Doctor}}, and {{Sm|Yono}}. Players were asked to rank the cast. Their ballots were then averaged together with outliers removed to avoid having any one ballot dramatically skew any character’s placement. {{PM|Pit}}, {{PM|Zero Suit Samus}}, and {{PM|Ike}} rose the most on the tier list, with Zero Suit Samus rising to 2nd. {{PM|Snake}}, {{PM|Mr. Game & Watch}}, and {{PM|Peach}} dropped the most. {{PM|Meta Knight}} remained ranked 1st, and ranks 7th-9th of {{PM|Sheik}}, {{PM|Fox}}, and {{PM|Captain Falcon}} stayed the same. {{PM|Luigi}}, {{PM|King Dedede}}, and {{PM|Jigglypuff}} dropped into the bottom tier. {{PM|Knuckles}} made his debut at 10th, at the top of A tier. The tier list scores can be found [https://imgur.com/a/4rjw10K here]. {{PM|Toon Link}} and Peach have equal scores, but Toon Link had a lower score including outliers and had less overall variance. | On January 9, 2022, the first-ever Project+ [https://smashboards.com/threads/new-official-project-v-2-29-tier-list-released.516700/ tier list], coordinated by {{Sm|Sabre}} and {{Sm|Motobug}}, was released.
