Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary
Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary is a mode in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, similar in concept to Super Smash Bros. Melee's Adventure Mode. It was hinted at on July 20th with the "This world..." update, but fully confirmed and announced on August 3rd on the Smash Bros. Dojo!! official site.
Features
According to the main site, it will focus more on side-scrolling action stages, rather than battles. It will also have a storyline, a feature that previous single-player modes lack, and will "emphasize character development". Several new enemies appear in the mode, including the shadowy creatures from "This world..." (now known to be called Primid) and updated designs from Kid Icarus (including Palutena, the Goddess of Light from said game).
A later update has confirmed several new facts. First, the Adventure Mode will feature co-op; a second player will be able to play alongside the first. Also, the various Smash characters will make "teams" based on developments in the story. And finally (and most interestingly), there will be a way to "power up" the characters, which will be explained at a later date.
Video Clips
The mode so far has had two updates with video clips, both 40-50 seconds in length, which show several things, including:
- Meta Knight's ship (the Halberd)) dropping shadowy spores that coalesce and form into the shadowy creatures known as Primid seen in This World. It is not known if Meta Knight may be a boss in this mode. Interestingly, Meta Knight is also shown fighting the monsters in a screenshot, perhaps implying a rebellion or the fact that Meta Knight was not, in fact, piloting the Halberd. The second possibility is enhanced by the fact that their leader has been confirmed to be the Ancient Minister, and not Meta Knight. Considering that the Ancient Minister appears to have control over other Nintendo-related characters, like Hammer Bros, Bullet Bills, Petey Pirahna, and R.O.Bs, it's possible that he also has control over the Halberd, and Meta Knight is not allied with the Ancient Minister or the Subspace Army at all.
- Peach and Princess Zelda rushing to the side of Mario and Kirby. This confirmed Peach's appearance in Brawl; she would later be verified as playable on the official website.
- Mario being blown away by what appears to be a cannonball while going to disarm the Subspace Army's Subspace Bomb.
- Kirby turning around to see Zelda and Peach trapped in cages that are being held by Petey Piranha.
- Petey Piranha as a henchman of the Subspace Army. He was later confirmed to be a Boss.
- Pit witnesses the attack by the Subspace Army and is sent by Palutena to fight against the Subspace Army.
