The masterpieces as seen in
Brawl.
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 Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 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 in Brawl 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.

Scrapped
- A Donkey Kong Country masterpiece was planned, but it was scrapped. [1]
- The Masterpieces for EarthBound and Fire Emblem: Monsho no Nazo, while not accessible in international versions of Brawl, still exist in the data; the reason they were not included is unknown.
Masterpieces return in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. New features include a timer displayed on the right side of the screen, the ability to buy a game from the eShop without manually going to the eShop, and the ability to stop the Masterpiece without the reset button, as the Wii U does not have a reset button. The games featured include:
