Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Masahiro Sakurai once stated that he feels that it would be appropriate that third-party, or "guest" characters, like Solid Snake or Sonic the Hedgehog, would be unlockable. This became true when Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out on January 31.

Also, the Smash Bros. DOJO!! has confirmed that all unlockable characters will be unlockable by "playing through" The Subspace Emissary. These characters will be unlocked as you progress through the mode, rather than after completing it. The characters are playable when they show up, and will be playable when you finish the level.

** Toon Link, Jigglypuff, and Wolf are not part of the main plot of Subspace Emissary, you must beat the main story first then revisit certain stages to find them that way.
