'''''Project M''''' is a [[gameplay modification]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' designed to make the gameplay more closely resemble that of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' mainly, and also ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' to a lesser extent. This means that the speed of gameplay has been generally increased, with many ''Melee'' mechanics being restored. The development team is partly descended from the original developers for [[Brawl+]], now known as the PMDT, or Project M Dev Team (formerly the PMBR, or Project M Backroom). It has members from over ten countries, though as of now, only an [[NTSC]] version has been released.<ref>http://wii.ign.com/articles/122/1223403p1.html</ref> ''Project M's'' character roster notably includes {{PM|Mewtwo}} and {{PM|Roy}} (two characters that were playable only in ''Melee'' and not in ''Brawl'') with altered graphics and movesets. | '''''Project M''''' is a [[gameplay modification]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros.

''Project M'' is commonly featured as an event at [[tournament]]s including several national tournaments, such as the Zenith series, The Big House series, and [[Apex 2014]]. Starting around 2012-2013, ''Project M'' saw a rapid rise in its popularity as more characters became playable and the mod was featured more commonly at Smash tournaments; the number of entrants for Apex 2014's ''PM'' singles event notably surpassed the amount of entrants for the original ''Brawl''. | ''Project M'' is commonly featured as an event at [[tournament]]s including several national tournaments, such as the Zenith series, The Big House series, and [[Apex 2014]].

**In 2015, they [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOuXKCvhTvw announced] that they would be porting Project M to the Nintendo 64. The video appears to have been made by replacing all the models in the game with low-poly counterparts (the "perfect attendance crew" using their models from the original game itself, and all other characters using custom models or models from other retro systems), and either replacing in the game or overdubbing in the video many of the sound effects with counterparts from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' The video was overlayed with humorous sound effect bubbles parodying those from ''Super Smash Bros.''{{'}} official artwork. At the end of the video, similar to the previous year, it implied that {{s|bulbapedia|Parasect}} would be added to the roster. | **In 2015, they [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOuXKCvhTvw announced] that they would be porting Project M to the Nintendo 64.
