'''Balanced Brawl''', or '''BBrawl''', is a hack of ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]]'' designed by Thinkaman and Amazing Ampharos with the goal of balancing [[character]]s in competitive Brawl with as few changes to core physics as possible. It is normally loaded using Smash Stack by comex so it is playable on any [[Wii]], hacked or not. More information, videos, downloads, setup instructions, and chat can be found on the [http://www.balancedbrawl.net Balanced Brawl website].
==Differences from Brawl+==
Unlike [[Brawl+]], none of the core physics have been changed:
*Character movement is the same.
*[[Hitbox]] sizes are the same for all characters.
*No [[stage]]s are frozen.
 
===Features===
*Infinites and inescapable lockdowns are removed.
*Increased character balance.
*Increased stage viability
*Planking is removed.
*No random [[Prat Falling]]. Moves that trip the opponent such as bananas will still trip.
*Very few changes to timing.
*Certain glitches were removed.
 
===Stage Changes===
*[[Luigi's Mansion]] takes twice as long to respawn after being broken.
*[[Mushroomy Kingdom]] 1-1 scrolls at half speed. Additionally, both Mushroomy Kingdom stages have higher ceilings.
*[[Pirate Ship]] bombs do less damage.
*[[Norfair]] lava pillars inflict less knockback.
*[[Port Town Aero Dive]] cars inflict less knockback.
*[[Castle Siege]] has significantly improved loading time.
*[[Flat Zone 2]] lion tamers inflict fixed knockback.
*[[PictoChat]] has a few weakened hazards.
*[[Corneria]] has larger blast zones.
*[[Green Greens]] blocks spawn less frequently. Bomb blocks also do less damage.
 
==Character changes==
When Balanced Brawl was started, the creators decided to balance all the characters towards a power level about equal to that of Diddy Kong in standard ''Brawl''.
