Each character has their own unique fighting-style and special attacks. You can fully customize Brawls for up to four players and also battle online. Single player options include a Training and Classic modes, plus the side-scrolling adventure game: "Subspace Emissary", where the world of Smash Bros. has been invaded by hostile, hyper-dimension beings.
