Stickers are collectible items in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, similar to trophies. They can be added to a background and made into a collage. They are found much more commonly than trophies. Stickers will sometimes randomly appear in normal brawls, unless items are turned off in Item Switch. They can also be won through Spectator Mode over Wi-Fi, obtained by defeating minor enemies in Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary, won in Coin Launcher, or beaten out of Sandbag. Strangely enough, the maximum number stickers the player can collect per battle is 255. Exceeding this limit will get rid of the stickers the player collected.

The main purpose of these stickers is to give characters certain advantages in the Subspace Emissary, such as increased attack power. They cannot be used in other modes such as brawls or the Stadium.

There are 700 stickers. Collecting all of them will unlock the Stickers Trophy.

Although primarily intended for the collection of CDs, use of a CD Factory can also result in the collection of several stickers.

Power-Ups

On Friday, Jan 18th 2008, Smash Bros. DOJO!! announced that stickers can be used as power-ups. To do so, the stickers must be placed on the undersides of character trophies. Different stickers give different boosts, as well as some that are character-specific (most of them can be used by any character). Larger stickers give higher boosts, but take up more space on the trophy base. The statistical boost is only for the Subspace Emissary and does not apply to any other modes. Applied stickers can be moved around, but removing one discards it permanently (though they can be regained through playing).

A sticker as an in-game item when Yoshi comes up to one.

Stickers with the same effects do not stack; e.g. if an Arm +13 and an Arm +20 are placed on the base of a trophy, that character will only receive the larger +20 boost to arm attacks, not +33, although an Arm/Leg sticker will stack with individual Arm and Leg stickers - i.e., an Arm/Leg + 10, an Arm +10 and a Leg+10 sticker will all combine to boost Arm and Leg attacks by 20. It is also possible for a single attack to fall under several categories, like Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch, which deals Arm, Specials: Direct, and Fire damage.

To get to the stickers page, go to the Subspace Emissary menu and click the 1 or B button. To the left of "save", there is a stickers option. Losing during the Subspace Emissary causes half of the stickers found on that level to be lost.

Power-Up Effects

Each sticker has a single effect which may be any of the following. The number listed with the effect indicates how much the aspect is improved.

Attack-based effects

The largest category of stickers simply increases the damage dealt by the user's attacks. The exact meaning of the number given is unknown, but presumed to be similar to the resistance stickers (see below).

Effect Description
[Arm] Attack Increases the damage done by punches, slaps, pokes, and elbows.
[Leg] Attack Increases the damage done by kicks, knees, and stomps.
[Head] Attack Increases the damage done by headbutts and the like.

[Spin] Attack Increases the damage done by attacks which involve spinning.
[Tail] Attack Increases the damage done by tail attacks. Only Yoshi, Pikachu, Diddy Kong, Pokémon Trainer, Fox, Falco, and Wolf can apply stickers with this effect.
[Bite] Attack Increases the damage done by attacks which involves fangs or biting. Only Yoshi, Wario, Pokémon Trainer, and Wolf can apply stickers with this effect.

[Specials: Direct] Attack Increases the damage done by moves that are considered to be direct. The exact criteria are unknown.
[Specials: Indirect] Attack Increases the damage done by moves that are considered to be indirect. This includes all projectiles and a few regular, distanced attacks.

Defense-based effects

When used, these stickers reduce the damage taken by incoming attacks.

The meaning of the number is currently not well understood; it is not a simple addition or percentage decrease. Instead, it is currently believed to be something akin to this:

...where v is the value given by the sticker description and r is the reducing percentage. For example, a sticker with a reduction of 27 will cause attacks to deal 32.5% less damage.

Effect Description
[Battering] Resistance Decreases damage taken from normal attacks.
[Slash] Resistance Decreases damage taken from slash attacks.
[Flame] Resistance Decreases damage taken from fire-based attacks.
[Electric] Resistance Decreases damage taken from electric attacks.

Trophy info

The Sticker trophy from Brawl.

In The Subspace Emissary, you can place stickers on trophy stands to augment the offensive and defensive abilities of your characters. But stickers must be applied neatly-- they must be fully on the stand and must not overlap. Sticker power generally corresponds to sticker size--bigger is better. But big stickers take up more room, so you must strike a balance.

Trivia

  • The file names of the sticker images are organized by a technical abbreviation of its console of origin, such as "DOL" for GameCube, "NTR" for Nintendo DS, and "RVL" for Wii. Third-party stickers are given "KONAMI" and "SEGA" designations instead, and Pokémon stickers with Brawl-original artwork are under "Comp".
