In addition to the many universal changes, every character received several individual adjustments in order to balance the game properly. The roster was largely buffed overall, creating an extensive collection of viable characters with varying playstyles, strengths, and weaknesses. However, certain moves were nerfed to further flesh out some fighters and break their dependence on repeated use of a single move or small set of moves. Some ''Project M'' characters are based on their appearances in ''Melee'' (such as {{PM|Captain Falcon}} and {{PM|Jigglypuff}}) while others are modified from their ''Brawl'' versions or a mixture of their iterations from both games. | In addition to the many universal changes, every character received several individual adjustments in order to balance the game properly.

''Project M'' contains 42 stages selectable normally, and 27 alternate stages (that appear in a small preview under the main stage preview and are selectable by holding L before pressing A). Two stages, Peach's Castle HD and Hyrule Castle HD, have a second alternate stage that does not show a preview and is selectable by holding Z instead of L. | ''Project M'' contains 42 stages selectable normally, and 27 alternate stages (that appear in a small preview under the main stage preview and are selectable by holding L before pressing A).

The legality of ''Project M'' is ambiguous: by itself, and much like any other hack, the mod is a {{S|wikipedia|derivative work}}, for it branches directly off of a copyrighted product. While derivative works are not inherently breaches of any law or rule, the patch files for the mod include various copyrighted assets not present on the original disc, such as the [[Fountain of Dreams]] stage. In addition, the act of launching ''PM'' relies on exploiting the console to run unofficial code on it, thereby breaking the console's {{S|wikipedia|end-user license agreement}}. Likely as a result, ''Project M'' has not been featured at any tournaments sponsored by Nintendo, as doing so would essentially be sponsoring hacking their own consoles and misappropriating their assets and characters. | The legality of ''Project M'' is ambiguous: by itself, and much like any other hack, the mod is a {{S|wikipedia|derivative work}}, for it branches directly off of a copyrighted product.
