Rewrite. Still needs some work, but I think that it's already better than the previous one.

-'''Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary''' is a mode in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], similar in concept to [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Adventure Mode]]. It was hinted at on July 20th with the "[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea01.html This world...]" update, but fully confirmed and announced on August 3rd on the [[Smash Bros. Dojo!!]] official site.
+'''Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary''' is a mode in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], similar to [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee's]] [[Adventure Mode]]. It was hinted at with the [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea01.html This world...] update on July 20th, and fully unveiled on August 3rd.
-==Features==
+==Gameplay==
-According to the main site, it will focus more on side-scrolling action stages, rather than battles. It will also have a storyline, a feature that previous single-player modes lack, and will "emphasize character development". Several new enemies appear in the mode, including the shadowy creatures from "This world..." (now known to be called Primid) and updated designs from [[Kid Icarus (universe)|Kid Icarus]] (including Palutena, the Goddess of Light from said game).<br>
+The Subspace Emissary mode is a side-scrolling adventure in the style of a platformer, inspired by the [[Mario (universe)|Mario]] and [[Kirby (universe)|Kirby]] games. However, it retains all basic mechanics of Super Smash Bros., such as a damage meter, [[Stock|stocks]] and Smash-style attacks. The mode features a world map where stages are selected; once a stage is selected, the difficulty can be chosen, and the character(s) will enter the stage. The selectable characters will change depending on the plot; a character selection screen has been shown, but it is not clear whether the characters are chosen before selecting a stage or after.
-A [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea07.html later update] has confirmed several new facts. First, the Adventure Mode will feature co-op; a second player will be able to play alongside the first. Also, the various Smash characters will make "teams" based on developments in the story -- for example, a screenshot shows that Kirby appears to team up with the princess he saves by fighting Petey Piranha, and Mario and Pit meet each other after Mario is knocked out of the Stadium by Petey Piranha and Pit descends from Skyworld. And finally (and most interestingly), there will be a way to "power up" the characters, which will be explained at a later date.
-==Video Clips==
+===Plot===
-The mode so far has had two updates with video clips, both 40-50 seconds in length, which show several things, including:
+The plot of the Subspace Emissary revolves around the [[Subspace Army]], a group of beings with an unknown origin. According to the site, their objective is to cut up the Smash world and absorb it into [[Subspace]], a mysterious and destructive force that apparently hails from their home dimension. They use weapons called [[Subspace Bombs]] to absorb sections of the world, one bit at a time. The Army includes [[:Category:Subspace Army|a number of original soldiers]] as well as some from other games, and their leader is known as the [[Ancient Minister]].<br>
-* [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight's]] ship (the [[Halberd]])) dropping shadowy spores that coalesce and form into the shadowy creatures known as [[Primid]] seen in This World. It is not known if Meta Knight may be a boss in this mode. Interestingly, Meta Knight is also shown fighting the monsters in a  screenshot, perhaps implying a rebellion or the fact that Meta Knight was not, in fact, piloting the Halberd. The second possibility is enhanced by the fact that their leader has been confirmed to be the [[Ancient Minister]], and not Meta Knight. Considering that the Ancient Minister appears to have control over other Nintendo-related characters, like Hammer Bros, Bullet Bills, Petey Pirahna, and R.O.Bs, it's possible that he also has control over the Halberd, and Meta Knight is not allied with the Ancient Minister or the Subspace Army at all.
+Few details are known about the plot so far. The plot will emphasize character development, and will be moved along by cutscenes shown at certain points. Though the mode will not feature character-specific storylines, certain decisions will affect the plot in some places (for example, in the boss fight with [[Petey Piranha]], you can only save either [[Peach]] or [[Zelda]], and it is assumed that the choice will alter the plot in some way). The characters form "teams" based on these developments.
-* [[Princess Peach (SSBB)|Peach]] and [[Princess Zelda (SSBB)|Princess Zelda]] rushing to the side of [[Mario (SSBB)|Mario]] and [[Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby]]. This confirmed Peach's appearance in Brawl; she would later be verified as playable on the official website.
-*Mario being blown away by what appears to be a cannonball while going to disarm the [[Subspace Army|Subspace Army's]] [[Subspace Bomb]].
-*Kirby turning around to see Zelda and Peach trapped in cages that are being held by Petey Piranha.
-*[[Petey Piranha]] as a henchman of the Subspace Army. He was later confirmed to be a Boss.
-*[[Pit (SSBB)|Pit]] witnesses the attack by the Subspace Army and is sent by Palutena to fight against the Subspace Army.

+===Features===
+As previously stated, the mode features an original storyline with several all-new enemies designed specifically for Brawl. It is also assumed that several new stages, such as the [[Arena (SSBB)|"Arena"]], will appear. <br>
+The [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea07.html Team] update revealed several new details about the gameplay. The mode features co-op; a second player can play at the same time as the first, though the camera still focuses on Player 1, and if player 1 loses all of their stocks, player 2 loses as well. In addition, players will be able to "power up" their characters, though what exactly this means is still unknown.
+==Updates==
+This details the various updates in regards to Subspace Emissary.
+* [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea01.html This world...] Though vague, it hints at the Subspace Emissary mode. It describes a world where trophies fight (the Smash world), and where being returned to trophy form is akin to death. It also states that breaking "the rules" will have dire consequences, and ends the update with a mysterious shadowy creature (now known to be a [[Primid]]. The update features a black background, opposed to the white background normally used for updates.
+* [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea02.html What is the Subspace Emissary?] The first "official" update on the mode. Over a dozen screenshots are shown, as well as a video clip that shows an animated version of the screenshots in This World. The update lays out the basics of SE, with the plot focusing on character development and moved along by quick cutscenes.
+* [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea03.html The Subspace Army]. Properly introduces the [[Subspace Army]], including the Primids, the grunts of the Army, and the Ancient Minister, its leader. A video clip included with the update shows a Subspace Bomb, Mario being knocked away by a cannonball, and Petey Piranha trapping the two princesses in cages, leaving Kirby to fight by himself.
+* [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea04.html Petey Piranha] A character description of Petey Piranha, who appears to be a [[boss]] character. Petey cannot be directly defeated; instead, Kirby must damage the cages trapping the princesses. Only one of the princess can be rescued, as the Subspace Bomb's timer apparently forces Kirby and the rescued princess to escape.
+* [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea05.html Pit's Descent] A video clip showcasing [[Pit]]'s entry into SE. From a temple in [[Skyworld]], he is called by [[Palutena]], the Goddess of Light, to help combat the Subspace Army; to help him, he is given a magical bow that can split into two swords. It is later shown that he somehow meets up with Mario, though the details of this meeting are unknown.
+* [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea06.html The Enemies from Subspace] Shows several of the stronger members of the Subspace Army.
+* [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea07.html Team] unveils several new elements in SE, including a world map, co-op play, teams of characters that join together and a vague comment about "powering up" characters to combat the Army.
