====''Legacy XP''====
[[File:LegacyXPLogo.png|400px|center]]
''Legacy XP'' is a modification of Project M 3.6 that includes more characters, 700+ additional stages, and new modes. While the characters from Project M were mostly unaltered ([[Yoshi]] and [[Link]] received some non-PM 3.6 moveset-fixing edits, and [[Snake]] gained the ability to walk while using his [[Cardboard box|box taunt]]), 10 more fighters were added: [[Young Link]], [[Pichu]], and [[Dr. Mario]] returned from Melee, and [[Ridley]], [[Waluigi]], [[Geno]], [[Lucina]], and Metal-Sonic were added in the beta build released in September 2016. [[Shadow]] and Mage Ganondorf (inspired by his [[Ocarina of Time]] appearance) followed in version 2.0 Full in May 2018. Version 2.1, featuring some balance changes, was released in March 2019.
Just like the aforementioned ''Legacy TE'', development ceased on March 13, 2020 with an announcement on their website [https://web.archive.org/web/20201130162107/http://www.smashbroslegacy.com/] and removal of all downloads. Project co-lead David V. Kimball stressed no Nintendo involvement in the shutdown, and directed further questions to Ryan Morrison [https://twitter.com/davidvkimball/status/1238928426716692480], similar to the Project M shutdown.
''Legacy XP Lite'' is a combination of ''Legacy XP'' with some of the more competitive-friendly stages from ''Legacy TE'', greatly reducing the number of stages and the mod size from over 5 GB to under 2 GB. Version 2.1 was released in March 2019.

====''Legacy MP+''====
====''Legacy XP''====
''Legacy MP+'' is a modification of ''[[Brawl]]'' that features character rebalancing, a mode inspired by ''[https://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Lethal_League Lethal League]'', and additional costumes such as one for Bowser that references the ending of ''Super Mario Odyssey'' where Mario [[mariowiki:Capture|captures]] him, costumes for the ''Star Fox'' characters inspired by ''[https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Z Dragon Ball Z]'', a set of costumes for Charizard based on the Armor Style [[bulbapedia:Holowear|Holowear]] from ''Pokémon UNITE'', adding [[mariowiki:Peachette|Peachette]] as an alternate costume for Peach, and even adding [https://info.sonicretro.org/Scourge_the_Hedgehog Scourge the Hedgehog] as an alternate costume for Sonic.

''Legacy XP'' is a modification of Project M 3.6 that includes more characters, 700+ additional stages, and new modes. While the characters from Project M were mostly unaltered ([[Yoshi]] and [[Link]] received some non-PM 3.6 moveset-fixing edits, and [[Snake]] gained the ability to walk while using his [[Cardboard box|box taunt]]), 10 more fighters were added: [[Young Link]], [[Pichu]], and [[Dr. Mario]] returned from Melee, and [[Ridley]], [[Waluigi]], [[Geno]], [[Lucina]], and Metal-Sonic were added in the beta build released in September 2016.

====''Smash 2''====
''Legacy XP Lite'' is a combination of ''Legacy XP'' with some of the more competitive-friendly stages from ''Legacy TE'', greatly reducing the number of stages and the mod size from over 5 GB to under 2 GB. Version 2.1 was released in March 2019.
[[File:Smash2Logo.png|500px|center]]
''[https://twitter.com/Smash2Official Smash 2]'' is a modification of ''[[Brawl]]'' that was designed to be like ''[[Melee]]'' as if Nintendo had more time to develop it (leading to more characters), making it much more of a direct homage to ''Melee'' than ''[[Project M]]''. In addition to the engine changes from ''Project M'', stage camera and lighting are edited, and the movesets of all Melee veterans have been reverted to function as in ''Melee'', with some rebalancing to adjust for these changes. For the newcomers in ''Brawl'', [[Wolf]] and [[Lucas]] were designed to be more similar to the characters they were partially cloned from, and for other characters, abilities they gained that originated from games released after ''Melee'' got replaced (for example, [[King Dedede]]'s [[Jet Hammer]]).


====''Smash 2 Plus''====
Just like the aforementioned ''Legacy TE'', development ceased on March 13, 2020 with an announcement on their website [https://web.archive.org/web/20201130162107/http://www.smashbroslegacy.com/] and removal of all downloads. Project co-lead David V. Kimball stressed no Nintendo involvement in the shutdown, and directed further questions to Ryan Morrison [https://twitter.com/davidvkimball/status/1238928426716692480], similar to the Project M shutdown.
[[File:Smash2PlusLogo.png|180px|center]]
''Smash 2 Plus'' is seen as the direct successor of ''Smash 2'', making adjustments and changes to the roster by re-adding characters such as [[Wolf]] and [[Lucas]] alongside other roster additions.
 
====''Smash 2 Omega''====
[[File:Smash 2 Omega.png|500px|center]]
''Smash 2 Omega'' is considered the third installment of ''Smash 2'', making further adjustments and also adding characters such as [[Ridley]], [[mariowiki:Toad|Toad]], and [[Daisy]] to the roster. The current build is Version 1.5, which released on February 2nd, 2023.


====''REX''====
====''Project M EX Remix'' / ''REX''====
[[File:ProjectMEXRemix.png|500px|center]]
[[File:ProjectMEXRemix.png|300px|center]]
''REX'' is a more casual expansion of ''Project+'', adding many new characters and stages. Like the aforementioned ''Legacy XP'', the goal of this build is to balance quantity with quality. Good character balancing is also a goal of ''REX'', and the developers strive to maintain a meta that isn't completely dominated by just a few characters.

====''Smash 2''====
''[https://twitter.com/Smash2Official Smash 2]'' is a modification of ''[[Brawl]]'' that was designed to be like ''[[Melee]]'' as if Nintendo had more time to develop it (leading to more characters), making it much more of a direct homage to ''Melee'' than ''[[Project M]]''. In addition to the engine changes from ''Project M'', stage camera and lighting are edited, and the movesets of all Melee veterans have been reverted to function as in ''Melee'', with some rebalancing to adjust for these changes.

The initial teaser trailer for REX is considered something of a tribute to the first trailer for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', due to Vectorman's eye reflecting the mod's logo in a similar fashion to [[Inkling]]'s eye reflecting the burning ''Super Smash Bros.'' emblem.
There are other two mods that are seen as Smash 2's successor. These include ''Smash 2 Plus'' which makes adjustments and changes to the roster by re-adding characters such as [[Wolf]] and [[Lucas]] alongside other roster additions. ''Smash 2 Omega'' makes further adjustments and also adding characters such as [[Ridley]], [[mariowiki:Toad|Toad]], and [[Daisy]] to the roster.

''Project Horizon'' follows a similar design philosophy to ''REX'', but distinguishes itself with several characters not in ''REX'' (including non-gaming 3rd parties like [https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Goku Goku] from the ''Dragon Ball'' series and [https://scottpilgrim.fandom.com/wiki/Scott_Pilgrim Scott Pilgrim] from ''Scott Pilgrim vs. The World''), other stages that have not made it to ''REX''{{'}}s stage list, and an intentional lack of backported characters from future Super Smash Bros. games.

====''Project Meta Plus EX''====

Project Meta Plus EX is a Project+EX build with a different roster, adding characters who did not debut in a video game such as Goku and Kirito, alongside 2 new original characters, as well as characters who are not in REX such as Roxas, Proto-Man, Mach Rider, Doom Slayer, and Ayumi Tachibana. The modification also includes stages from manga and anime such as My Hero Academia, and stage recreations of Earthbound 64 locations. Finally, the mod features stages from fangames such as Super Smash Land.
