CDs are collectable items in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, in the same vein as Trophies and Stickers. Collecting a CD will unlock a new track for My Music. Additionally, there is a trophy of CDs in Brawl. The CDs in Brawl look just like real world CD's.

Like trophies, certain Challenges may need to be beaten to unlock specific tracks. There are 133 CDs in the game, including 31 which are available only via Challenges.

Like Stickers, CDs will appear in all game modes, and the chance of appearing can not be altered via the item switch. However, the frequency with which CDs appear is far lower than that of stickers and, unlike other items, CDs will only appear for a few seconds before disappearing. When it is grabbed, an orchestra-like sound will be heard and the screen will flash in a light green color. It can get extremely difficult to collect CDs on larger stages due to their speed of disappearance. According to the CD trophy, once all tracks have been acquired, CDs will stop appearing; CDs may still appear during a Wi-Fi battle if at least one player doesn't have all the CDs.

When a CD is collected, the player(s) will be alerted to what track it contains and be able to listen to it after the match, unless it is collected during Wi-Fi play, then the alert will come some time after the player logs off. If a CD is collected when playing in Classic or All-Star Mode, and the console is turned off during a match, the player(s) will be alerted the next time the game is started. Collecting CDs in The Subspace Emissary will alert the player once the mode is quit.

CPU players will never attempt to grab a CD. However, if they do so accidentally by trying to attack while nearby, the CD will not count.

Some players have created CD Factories, special custom stages for farming CDs by use of the Sandbag item.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

CD's are no longer Items to collect, however they can still be prizes from clearing certain objectives.

CD

Each stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl has several songs prepared for it. You can set the percentage chances for which songs appear in My Music. It's fun to choose songs according to your tastes. Each CD contains one song to increase your music library. Be sure to grab them when you see them. Once you've got all the music that's in the game, CDs will stop appearing.
