Masterpieces

The masterpieces as seen in-game.

Masterpieces (名作トライアル Meisaku Toraiaru, Classic Trial) are free time-limited trial versions of classic Nintendo titles which the characters of Brawl have appeared in. The full versions can be purchased for the Virtual Console. To save the player time, Masterpieces skip the title and opening of a game. Certain Masterpieces start at specific points of the game that are relevant to Brawl, such as the Donkey Kong Masterpiece starting at the 75 m level, while games that supported saving have some built-in saves set to various points of the game.
