- By far, one of the most ambitious things Nintendo's ever done is throw a full-fledged adventure into a Super Smash Bros. game, and in Brawl, that's exactly what we got with Subspace Emissary!

The fact that Sonic saved the Nintendo Universe is the most ironic thing ever
True
That's why Sonic is my favorite.
.-.
Even though Sonic did nothing.
Nic5 Cyprus truly is But was pretty badass 😏
All because he was added in near the end of the development and the reason why the game got the first delayed.
For Brawl to be the “weakest” game in the series by some fans and still be amazing just shows how much quality there is in this series.
There*
Jay Waz This entry’s content is imo the best bar-none. The slower and trippy gameplay on the other hand certainly wasn’t the highlight of the series...Still my favorite Smash game.
Seath yeah, that’s why I said some fans. I love Brawl too
@@jaywaz680 same here brawl offline content was amazing
Content and fun wise, this is the best in the series but not so much in the actual fighting
I know I'm in the minority here, but I actually really enjoy how they mixed together the bizarre, creepy original subspace enemy designs with iconic Nintendo enemy characters and music and realistic "generic" level themes. Together, all these elements created an aesthetic different than anything I've ever played before or since. It's probably my favorite thing about Brawl as a whole.
i loved that they made unique antagonists just for this mode
And honestly I feel like it works in a way, in a game where you have an adorable anime lightning mouse fighting a terrifying Geiger-esque space dragon as a boss. Smash has always been about a class of game styles, ever since thr beginning :)
Same
Those exclusive enemies five me nightmares
Same, I love how creepy the subspace enemies are, especially the unused one
One thing I love about this story is Dedede's role and how it reflects perfectly his nature in Kirby canon. It seems like he's just a bad guy, sure, but in reality he's actually just being pragmatic, and playing along with the bad guy on order to defeat him, in this case by keeping all the trophied characters in his castle with special badges that will resurrect them to fight when all is lost, even sacrificing his own for Peach!! Just like how very often his role as an antagonist in the Kirby series is actually him doing what Kirby has done, but to seal away evil instead of destroy it, like in Nightmare in Dreamland and such!!
He can also sacrifice one of his badges for Zelda too, not just Peach. He either saves Peach or Zelda in that scene with Bowser. And yeah, a lot of the Canon in the Kirby series usually makes King Dedede out to be the bad guy; when he's just the neutral guy. Sure; he's the self-styled and self-proclaimed "king" of Dreamland, but he's also, one of Kirby's "friends"; in a sense; and not really a bad guy, that was just the Kirby cartoon with the hilariously bad; but likeable voices. And Meta Knight is closer to being the "bad guy", even though he's more of a rival to Kirby, and isn't REALLY a bad guy; he's more or less testing Kirby to see if he's strong enough to beat him, in a fight; and usually tests other fighters skills. King Dedede also can inhale like Kirby; but can't copy other people's powers. And Meta Knight wears a mask because he's trying to hide his appearance, because without the mask; he basically is just a blue Kirby and has a face underneath his mask; which is exactly like Kirby's, which might be why he wears a mask; in the first place; and could maybe be a lost member of Kirby's species, himself; who knows? Maybe he's secretly Sakurai? I mean think about it...have you ever seen Sakurai and King Deedede in the same room together at the same time? Or, Sakurai could know more about Dedede. Really; Dedede isn't a "bad" guy, he's just trying to help, in his own weird way, and maybe trying to be a good King? Some could say it could be confusing, but I loved it, and I like how Dedede has these badges that help save everybody, so he's always got a plan; so things don't go extremely wrong.
"Subspace Emissary was the most ambitious"
World of light and dark:"am I a joke to you"
Antdude:"yes"
Everyone: “YES”
How many cutscenes does WoL have to tie in the battles?
@ none
The Spook Theorist hopefully Antdude when he talks about world of light he talks about certain sprits that are very cheap until you have the right spirts and mandate you to almost always to do types advantage.
@@ohyearone209
5 or 6.
Seem like you didn't play it.
Best thing about Subspace was that Dededee was a good guy the whole time.
Dedede's personality here was mad backwards.
Dude had Meta Knight's personality. The guy you think is a villain, but in reality he actually knows way more about the real bad guy's plan all along and was working to counter it in secret.
@@Robbie_Haruna I'm guessing you've never played Kirby's Adventure or Nightmare in Dreamland.
@@chuckleberry2142 King Dedede wasn't like this there either. Like yeah he was a misunderstood bad guy, but in literally every other appearance, but he's still kind of a dumb goof, contrast to the galaxy brain they gave him here.
That'd be like saying Meta Knight being a main villain would be fine because he was the main Antagonist in Revenge of Meta Knight (even though it's the literal single exception to his role in every other entry.)
That's what I WAS thinking!
@@Robbie_Haruna I mean, some of Dedede's weaponry has some really advanced technology. Maybe he got it from someone else, but he's still able to wield it well, including piloting a giant robot.
Dedede is probably pretty smart when he's not around Kirby.
9:38 Actually Dedede wasn't taking orders from Ganon he had his own gameplan
which was 'try and fix everyone'
but as usual the cast thougth he was up to no good
@@sarafontanini7051 You never know what might happen if your intent is to clobbah.
Yeah. Bowser and Ganon were working together for Master Hand until Ganon decides to backstab Bowser, but Dedede had his own goals separate from those two.
@@kiwikarp9509Dedede was actually trying to help; but the others thought he was like Bowser and Ganondorf, trying to destroy the world. And Rob; was sad; seeing his friends and other Rob's; blow themselves up with Subspace bombs, and decides to help the others. Ganondorf, looks like he tries to betray the others, and gets beaten by Tabuu; and ironically, later, saved by Link and Zelda. And Sonic, did nothing until the last minutes, but when he gets there; he at least did something? Master and Crazy Hand, also did stuff; i guess? But it doesn't work? It's hard to tell most of the time, because there's no subtitles and mostly no dialogue between characters, and when there is, it's usually a yell, or something. But I'm not saying it's not there at all. There's times; like when Fox saves Diddy Kong from Rayquaza, or when Pit saves Mario after he gets blasted by a cannonball early on in the story.
Subspace Emissary: The first "Everyone is here!"
Except Ike... Antdude forgot him...
But we were still missing Doctor Mario, Young Link, Pichu, Mewtwo, and Roy.
Lugbzurg it would’ve been better if it was Lucario and Mewtwo that fought on that ice mountain except for Lucario and Meta Knight
And mega man.
If he forgot Ike, he should go back to Subspace and get him.
Everyone missed Ike but not me I'm good at this game
The problem with Ultimate’s Adventure Mode is that is just fighting, sure the spirits idea is cool but there was no adventure to it it didn’t have those kinds of levels you’d see in Brawl’s. Its just fighting CPUs, go to the next one and fight bosses and that’s it.
Very true
Doesn't help that because of the fact Spirits are using the Fighters in the roster as the basis for combat, it'll get old very quickly especially if you fought opponents who use the same fighter over and over
@@anthonymini-gun5542 In addition, most of the difficulty modifiers and features feel more like gimmicks than anything else. It's usually either something you simply auto-select the right immunities to, or you need to grind because the opponent is like 80 levels above you.
I think the world map navigation makes up a big portion of the gameplay but I do want more levels,bosses,and enemies.
I still maintain that WOL is just a very fancy event mode
*Vivid flashbacks of Ganondorf maniacal laughter as R.O.B. gets blasted by his own kind*
....Good times.
Now if only he could get a proper moveset
Oof… that was rough. I’m getting PTSD just by reading it.
"Except for Ike, I missed him somehow."
Have... to fight... the urge... to make... a joke... about TheRunawayGuys... missing Ike... in their... playthrough... as well...
It’s ok man, just say it.
Why does everyone miss Ike lol
@@lilylopnco Ike was literally hidden in the most obtuse place possible I swear. I remember assuming when I was kid that the devs just kinda forgot to place his trophy.
A friend of mine also forgot to save Ike in their playthrough. My god, the Subspace must hate him so damn much.
9:35 its important to note Dedede isn't a villain, the buttons he puts on the trophied characters returns them to normal after a certain amount of time
Exactly. He's never been a villain. Well, in the Kirby games; anyway. It's only been the Kirby cartoon that makes King Dedede out to be a villain. That and the voice Dedede had in that series. Which was always hilarious and bad.
Ness sacrificing himself to save Lucas still gives me the sads.
And then Wario just stood there in the lightning *menacingly*
Classic Earthbound, hitting you with the feels...
Remember when everyone freaked out when sonic was announced in brawl? Yea me too.
Sonic The Hedgehog! People freaked out when he returned in smash 4 tooth
@@RoyNumber1 yea, but no one was expecting sonic to get in smash at all. (or thats what i think.)
He was actually planned for melee but didn’t get in due to time constraints. Same with snake
yes. I was one of those people
@@sanmoon3543 and Banjo, too. And Wario.......
I definitely agree with you here. Loved me some "Subspace Emissary". And, yeah... "World of Light" is essentially just a glorified "Challenge Mode", with maybe three or four cutscenes. Still fun, but just not the same.
I thought that one part in world of light were you play as master hand was fun, best part
When I fought Tabuu on Very Hard mode, I found a trophy stand and turned him into a trophy.
Greatest accomplishment of my life.
Ain't no way
@@theawemazingcrew9702 He has to be on his last sliver of health for the trophy stand to work.
Can't do it in Boss Battles, since no items spawn.
@@nonplayercharacter12333Really? Items don't spawn on Boss Battles? And also, me and a friend fought Tabuu on Intense Difficulty, and nearly lost the entire thing, but managed to turn him into a trophy. Because he can kill you in pretty much any attack. I'm just surprised we managed to beat him at all, really. Especially on the hardest Difficulty. It was...surpsingly easier than I was expecting it to be, but nearly impossible, and as frustrating as I was expecting it to be at the same time. But seriously, throwing those trophy stands, so slowly, and nearly missing with them is annoying as hell, and I'm surprised it only took 2 trophy stands to get Tabuu, because I thought me and my friend would've been there all day; trying to capture Tabuu. I mean; sure he's the final boss; and should be the most difficult boss to beat; but that last battle with Tabuu; always makes me want to tear my hair out.
@@shawnfields2369 man. I remember how much I loved the subspace emissary mode and playing it with my sister
@@n8zog584 That's great to hear. I went and did everything you could do in the Subspace Emissary, even seeing every cutscene, with both versions of what happens. Like beating up Kirby with Mario, or beating up Mario with Kirby, and then saving Princess Zelda instead of Princess Peach, and trying to save them both instead, during the Petey Piranha boss fight. But no, it just ends with Mario taking a cannonball to the face, and getting K.O'ed. they should've had the announcer come in and say, "GAME!" as soon as that happened.
Me and my best friend loved playing Brawl. That was the first time in my life I'd ever played Smash Bros with someone else that wasn't a CPU player. That was great. It lasted 4 years. From 2008-2012. And also, me and my friend would play tournaments in Brawl too. I'd always win, but he was really good too. That was the only game we'd play whenever he came over. We went to the same high school, and were friends since middle school. But of course, nothing lasts forever, and in 2012, it was ruined, because I had to drop out of high school, and then, me and my mom had to move, without even saying goodbye to my friend, but it didn't matter much that year, because by 2012, he stopped coming by to hang out because he had a girlfriend now, so I get it. He had to spend time with her. Not something I can relate to, (because I've never even been on a date before), but he did explain why he didnt come by. But while we were playing a match in Brawl as usual, he got a call from his girlfriend, and then, just got up and left...that was the last time I ever saw him...I wanted to tell him that me and my mom were moving away, but that happened after he left, so i just never got a chance to properly tell him myself. He left the match before we could finish, and I had to quit the game, because he didn't come back. Resulting in a "No Contest". I always wanted to tell him I was sorry about what happened, and tell him that it was my fault, and not his, and that I wouldve still liked to play Smash Bros again with him, and that no matter what happened, he was still my best friend, but that never happened...and that's how the story of me playing Brawl with my best friend ended.
and also, i had beaten co-op mode by myself before though. Using both controllers and both characters. It was tough to do though. Especially against Tabuu, and his stupid wing attack. I hate fighting that guy... seriously. Even on the Spirit Board in Ultimate, I hate fighting him. Seriously, giant metal Bayonetta in a stamina match. But I do love Tabuu's boss theme though. That's a proper song you SHOULD be playing during a boss fight. Even if Tabuu comes out of nowhere and is an anticlimactic way to end off the Subspace Emissary. But I did like seeing Sonic destroy his wings in the previous cutscene though. That always looked cool to me, in 2008, and even now. Even though Mario, Ike, and Solid Snake were my favorite characters. And still are, since I can't play the DLC characters in Ultimate...
I can't believe you haven't talked about the music that plays through the entirety of Subspace Emissary.
I really think Brawl has the best Soundtrack of them all. Yes, even better than melee and, to an extent, Ultimate too.
Fun Fact: The Primids (The main grunt in the adventure), change their face each time you reset the Game.
omg i didnt know about the Primids thing, i thought it was bug or something, i used to show it off to my sister everytime it happened lol
And by reset you mean reset Brawl, not just SSE. They're decided on boot even if you never go to SSE
@@beesree39 I would've thought "reset the Game" was clear enough.
Filip Petrovic Ok
wait, there faces change?
Sonic, Wolf, Toon Link and Jigglypuff were implemented the way they were because they were all very late additions to the roster and they just couldn't implement them
...
_Jigglypuff?_
...
_Jigglypuff_ was a late addition?
Jiggypuff? In the series since 64. A late addition?
She wasn't going to make the cut, but she ended up making it
Yes everyone. Jigglypuff was a late addition and if it wasn't for the game getting delayed for Sonic she would have been cut.
@@Crazy56U
Yes
Jiggly was a last minute character
Finally someone appreciates how incredible R.O.B.’s reveal is, definitely one of my most favorite moments in a video game
Subspace Emissary really felt like a crossover, all these characters having actual interactions with one another. World of Light was still really good and I loved what it was going for but I wish there was more character interactivity.
10:58 Okay Ant, try to follow me here for a second.
Remember how Sega originally refused to let Sonic be part of Brawl and only changed their mind on that at the last minute? And then Brawl had to be delayed again in order to fit Sonic in? The developers used that extra time to add three more characters that wouldn't have made it otherwise, those being Jigglypuff, Toon Link and Wolf, which is why they and Sonic are unlocked after Mr. Game & Watch, who was originally supposed to be the last character you get, and why these three do not appear in the actual story mode.
Makes sense?
Makes sense to me. '3'
I really think Jigglypuff was refurbished from melee before other characters were added.
"Remember how Sega originally refused to let Sonic be part of Brawl and only changed their mind on that at the last minute?"
Actually I don't. Was that how it happened? I only know Kojima was eager to get Snake in, but I'm not familiar with the Sonic backstory.
Wait, that implies they were originally planning to cut Jigglypuff from the roster then.
So sega's "wrong" decision made 3 new characters get in?
13:13 Smash Bros not having a story mode because of people spoiling cutscenes has the same energy as Nintendo not having cloud saves in games like Animal Crossing because they're afraid of nonexistent cheating
Except when leaked copies of Ultimate came out, assholes decided to upload the WoL cutscenes, even if they are a small amount.
Exactly, like who would use Cloud saves in AC to cheat anyway. Animal Crossing fans don't seem like the type of people to do that honestly 😂
@@boshwa20 and people cheat in AC
I like you I see you everywhere
How would one even cheat in Animal Crossing?
"No, World of Light doesn't come close."
I love you
11:14 Wolf, Jigglypuff, Sonic, and Toon Link were added late into development. That's why:
Wolf's animations look choppy and are taken from the other Spacies.
Most of Sonic's animations involve a Spin Attack (a ball is really easy to animate) or are stolen from other characters
And why Toon is so close to Young Link. They were really close to outright removing Jigglypuff. This is also why none of them have a roll in Subspace. (Besides Sonic.)
Probably the most memorable story mode from a smash game ever
Shame we never got another one like it, but it was always a blast to go through
Yeah, that true. I still remember whatching for the first time Samus being a Pokémon trainer. That was awsome. Btw, I love your picture profile of Rythim Thief too
Definitely the best of the 6.
6. Smash 4. Just no.
5. Smash 64. Hey it tried.
4. Smash 3DS. (Smash Run) But why not Wii U?
3. Melee. It’s alright.
2. Ultimate. Surprisingly fun
1. Brawl. Do I even need to say anything?
I’m here for the memes 4 and 64 didn’t have a story mode they had a classic mode though
Chaos Jester yeah, but the closest thing is classic mode, and I think we can all agree that 64’s is a billion times better than 4’s.
I disagree, Smash 4’s is at least different every time, while Smash 64’s is the same exact fights with the same conditions in the same exact order.
All I remember is Snake saying, “kept ya waiting, huh?” Ahhh the good ol days
I was all about Pit and Wario. That first trailer got me screaming, especially for Pit, who had been forgotten for so long.
and thus the only spoken line in the whole campaign
@Muse Suse Sakurai did at least XD
I only knew the Mario, Kirby, Pokemon, Sonic and Zelda back during my brawl days so i wasn't hyped for anyone because I hardly knew anyone XD
Subspace emissary is like fan-fiction, but that good type of fan-fiction
Dude, I love the Lucas and Pkmn Trainer team, it feels like a big and little brother relationship which is pretty sad considering Mother 3's plot.
Ah yes, the one where all of existence was saved because of Dedede. After all, he's the king you should know; the star of the show.
One could even call him a SUPAHSTAR WARRIA
He's a hero to us all!
Escargoon: Have you seen Kirby today Majesty?
Dedede: HE DOHN SCAYUH ME NONE.
HEY ESCARGOON. U OKAY ?
I’m fit as a fiddle. Why do you ask?
In Ultimate's tips is written that he is perfect and I couldn't agree more.
After all, he is the only one who actually had a plan, and that plan saved everyone.
Fans:"Can we have a story mode again "
Nintendo:"Sure"
Fans:"YEEEESSSS"
Nintendo:"But were putting less effort into it"
Fans:"Damnit"
World of Light in a Nutshell
Honestly, wol was a lot more fun than subspace imo (but it mostly comes down to personal preference, and I wont hate anyone who likes subspace more than wol). But I won't deny co op subspace is the absolute best
The worst part is the bait and switch that is the first cutscene, making you think you're going to a fully voice acted experience with your favorites interacting (for characters who can talk anyway). But nope, first cutscene, and that's all the fan service you'e getting. Like imagine what they could have done with the Kid Icarus cast and Bayonetta since she kills angels and gods regularly. Or the first time you control Lucina, she's disguised as Marth and the first person she fights is Meta Knight, who realizes she isn't Marth because he fought along side him before.
WOL is more of an event mode
Distance calls into a past still unnamed.
World of Light is just a fancier version of Brawl's Event Match mode, change my mind
It is exactly that!
@@redray213 Event Mode. The worst mode in every Smash game.
I refuse.
All big modes of Ultimate are Events Match. Including World of Light, Spirit Boards, and even Classic Mode. Classic mode is the same thing, just without spirits and with matches presented in a sequence of 6 or 7 matches. It doesnt have Spirits, but because it is also made by quick battles with different properties, it works just like a random spirit battle, no difference at all. If any individual match of Classic were in the spirit board or in the map of WoL, you wouldnt even notice. If you are not a person that like these kind of quick battles with different properties, you dont have anything to do in Spirits or Classic, cause they all work the same way.
@@lucasamorim8595 I know, and that's what makes it so frustrating. At the very least, most classic fights don't include the unpolished or rng heavy gimmicks, but it's still annoying all the same.
Pit: “Hey Rob there must be a lot of you with you being a machine!”
ROB: .................................
Pit: “ROB?”
ROB: ‘traumatizing flash backs’
the fact that you called brawl "the bad one" physically hurt me
It's not really bad in gameplay, it's just more casual
he did that as a joke though
He's obviously being facetious
@@yoshiwoollyworld how about no most people favor melee just because of its stupid competitiveness
John Williamson I can confirm as someone who has played all the smash games especially brawl to this day I’ve never noticed the whole tripping thing lol
2014 me: I can't wait to see Mario Sonic mega man and pac man all fighting together!- *smash Wii u won't have a story mode*...
2018 me: I cannot wait to see the cutscenes of all the characters fighting with each other- *no cutscenes like that*...I guess them dying was pretty cool
I actually loved the Great Maze back in the day. It was one of my favorite parts of the Subspace Emissary. I really enjoyed exploring and fighting through a mix of previously seen locations and reuniting with your favorite heroes to fight the final boss! However, I was disappointed that Sonic didn't appear until the very end...
I loved the Great Maze as well, I really didn’t mind it until the very end when I could not for the life of me find Lucario of all characters, also I was pretty upset Wolf got done dirty, he could’ve very easily been integrated as a reoccurring antagonist like Wario
Yeah I didn't mind it, I actually enjoyed having a miniature Metroidvania thrown in at the climax. Of course I was like 11 and I was a lot more forgiving back then. But I certainly don't have negative memories about it.
Sounds like you people like bad level design, and tedious snores
@@egbertmilton4003 There's nothing wrong with liking it.
@@user-gs1dh8nk6w There is. People just can’t accept Ultimate did it better.
King Dedede wasn't taking orders from Master Hand though.
He was acting independently, as the hero of his own story.
Which actually aligns with his appearances in many Kirby games, even the very first where he was keeping Zero sealed - to which Kirby proceeds to screw up and immediately fix by destroying the entity.
Sakurai: "I won't bother making another SSE because the cutscenes would all end up leaking anyway"
Fans: "Wow no impossible why would you think that"
Also the 'fans': *upload every single cutscene and music track in Ultimate literally a week before release*
I mean.. that kinda happens for every game so it seems silly to me for that to be the reason.
@@Energyhedgehog He just cares about his games dude. He pours YEARS of his life into them, so for people to spoil them... Spoils the games.
@@Energyhedgehog Considering how Smash fans react to leaks, it makes perfect sense. Remember the Grinch?
According to the voice of chrom (the Japanese one) Sakurai acts out the scenes and shows them to the VAs and animators. Even though it’s common for directors to do this, he clearly cares about what he makes.
There's much more to a game than cutscenes, it's silly to just not put real campaigns in the games. Of course they'll end up on RUclips, everything does, but Sakurai refusing to make new campaigns means we're getting worse single player content.
9:20 and somewhere once again ProtonJon sheds a single tear.
In the end, you got the bad ending. You never saved Ike, so you never fought for your friends, thus turning on them and returning them to their lifeless trophy state, taking over all of the land of Smash and becoming the first in a infinite line of dictators, creating Smash Tour, Bad Internet, and eliminating all story modes.
Or the canon ending to get to Smash 4, as the Ike there is not the original, and the others are your puppets.
That moment when the prime minister get shot repeatedly by R.O.B's was one of the saddest moments in any Nintendo game ever. If you played subspace before, you would know what I'm talking about.
And That's how I found my main
You mean ancient minister???
@@DDDTJ Yeah, I remember seeing the Prime Minister get shot repeatedly during Subspace. Not quite as sad as seeing everyone else getting beaten by Tabuu near the end, only for Sonic to literally come in out of nowhere and literally DESTROY Tabuu's most annoying attack(the one that turned everyone into trophies in the first place). Or as sad as seeing Snake get severe burns across his face while crawling through that microwave for 15 minutes, trying to save Lucario and Meta Knight from Wario...
Smash bros Ultimate would have been truly ultimate if it had an adventure mode like Subspace Emissary.
THANK YOU!
I love Brawl. It introduced me to the Smash series when by brothers had the game when it came out. Thank you Brawl.
Same
Meele player: so you have chosen death
Me too
Honestly I was more of a Smash 4 kid but I still watch Brawl gameplay (mostly Sonic)
Just watched this with guilty delay. I was surprised how you did a clean exposition of both merits and flaws of Subspace.
My headcanon about Sonic is that he waited saving the day because he was the only capable of caughting Tabuu off-guard, but he needed the rest of the cast to distract him. And by doing everything last-minute, Sonic ensured himself the most stylish dramatic entrance, managing to (almost) steal the show.
Brawl is my favorite Smash game. As a super casual fan of the series, Subspace Emissary was a blast for me. I needed single player content after my childhood friends slowly grew out of video games. I know it's not perfect but I love what Subspace was trying to do. Those cutscenes were fantastic too.
9:14 I got Therunawayguys flash backs there with them not saving Ike either, Jon was not happy.
“Ike is dead! You guys are dicks!” -Jon
“I think Brawl is a great ga-“

Just saying, i love Duon for nostalgia. It's apparently based on Dialga and Palkia, the mascots of the first video game i ever played (Pokemon Diamond.)
Did not know that.
I love how they brough gallom (idk how to spell his name) back in smash ultimate
@@EveTanooki. I do love that Galleom was brought back, but i would have loved Duon to come back instead. He was just more fun to battle, and a bit more unique in a Video Game collaboration on the scale of Smash
One of my favorite details in this mode is if you save none of the trophies in the final segments the end credits only feature Luigi, Ness Dedede, Kirby, Sonic and Bowser as they defeated Tabuu on their own, meaning they are canonically the 6 most powerful in the Nintendo universe
10:54 Technically Sonic just saved everyone at that moment and you didn’t mention that
tbh they really didn't need sonic at all... he just ruins the story and the build-up..
@Victor Tran I wish they added him earlier because he ruins the story.
@@rookinrook Sonic is a sort of Deus Ex Machina, but still, he save everyone from Tabuu’s ultimate attack.
Besides, the plot of Subspace is full of that sort of things (like Dedede who, somehow, know the whole goal of the bad guys).
Regardless how flawed this mode is, I will always love it for its cinematography.
And this is still better than World of Light and some of its BS spirit battles and almost no cutscenes.
ToonZach Didn’t sakurai want to remove cutscenes for more gameplay? I do agree that world of light was a little bland, but this was after sakurai was getting tired of everyone bullsh**.
Sakurai wanted to have no story mode and no cutscenes because people uploaded subspace’s cutscenes online. Which is basically saying that people are not allowed to enjoy any part of a game outside of the context of playing that game
Bs spirit battles? Oh hi Pauline! I hate your battle in wol!
@@hikaru9624 Honestly, the one I hated most was Trevor Belmont.
@@SamShowsUs No, no, I think it's Sakurai saying that he really doesn't like people spoiling a full campaign a full week before it actually comes out. I got a feeling that if people didn't leak and just let people upload the campaign on youtube after it's released, he might've done something different.
2:26 I thought the same thing the first time I played brawl
I remember as a kid the Great Maze was my favorite! All the worlds were connected, you can fight shadow versions of all the characters, and it was easy if you missed a character because you can use the save stations to teleport
Mom can we have story mode?
*subspace*
No we have story mode at home

@@Kerfufflefuf too bad that part happens at the very end, and is not replayable. personally, my favorite part is the first phase of the true final boss, mostly because that is the only part in the entire game to have proper platforming. trying to do it as steve was an absolute pain though
I honestly find brawl my favourite in the series, this mode is one of the biggest reasons why
Brawl was my favourite before ultimate came out. and ultimate only beats it due to better mechanics, portability, and it's huge roster. brawl has much better game modes.
@@thekenyonsquad5672 My exact opinion
A user of culture I see
Brawl my favorite cuz wolf still have his good roar.
same. Brawl my favorite other than 4 3ds.
Things to love about Brawl: the Subspace Emissary and that epic intro song.
"I'm playing this on a Wii U with no Gamecube Controller Support."
I see the denial of Smash Wii U's existence is still going strong.
9:20 WOW you and The runaway guys forgot ike
Why does everyone miss Ike lol. I'm trying to remember if any Let's Play actually found him
Also Sakurai not wantin to do another Story Mode because the Cutscenes would get uploaded is still really dumb
Considering how the fandom acts it might be a safe bet.
I don't understand either. He's my favorite character in the game. Also, I have not played a fire emblem game. Any suggestions?
If you're looking to play Fire Emblem, start with either Fates or Awakening. They should be the most player friendly games out of the bunch.
@@henryfleischer404 Sacred stones for the gba is a pretty good introduction to FE.
"Sakurai not wantin to do another Story Mode because the Cutscenes would get uploaded is still really dumb"
It's not. He wanted the cutscenes to be a reward for beating the levels. He felt that if it's all up there for free, the rewards would have less impact. And he was right in my case. I loved the cutscenes when i played it, but i had already seen it on youtube.
BUUT what he did was to put the manpower from the cutscenes to the character reveals. Which i feel is a WAAAY better way to use the cutscenes. You know how hyped people gets with those reveals. And the problem of it being uploaded is non-existent now, since it's a trailer. That's what they want.
If i could change history and replace the cutscenes from SE with current styles of trailer for every newcomer from Brawl, i would in a heartbeat.
I do agree that no single player at all for Smash Wii U was dumb, but it was recifyed in Ultimate.
I like the gloryfied Special Smash fanservicefest over the dull 2d platformer designed for Ganondor's jump. Seeing Isa Jo (From Sin and Punishment 2) in Ultimate made me happier than most thing from SE.
Man i write to much about the smallest thing....
The great maze was my favorite part of subspace, probably because my favorite genre is metroidvania, so I'm used to starting over a lot.
Same, these guys must not like that genre if they all hate the great maze that much
Honestly, Brawl was my first Smash Bros when I was really young and I loved Subspace, I wasn't all that familiar with every Nintendo series from Brawl at the time, but seeing these cutscenes and clips just makes me nostalgic and I love that.
Personally I wish that they used character reveal trailers in some way during world of light, just so we had something a little extra even if we had already seen them before.
The MOST ambitious thing that Nintendo has ever done?
What about th-
*WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THE VIRTUAL BOY*
Honestly I will never forget the first time me and my brothers played through this entire mode. Every time a new character appeared we would get hyped, we wanted to see how the story developed and how it ended.
When Tabuu is defeated and the main theme plays with all the characters looking to the horizon we all just got emotional about it. We were kids back then, so that's why.
Brawl and this mode will always have a special place in my heart for the memories it left us with.

After hearing that AntDude Missed Ike made me remember The Runaway Guy's let's play on it and Emile doing the same thing and Jon got pissed off from it
Seriously?! Why does everyone always forget Ike in the Subspace? TRG, SGB, and now Ant? Just give the Radiant Hero some love.
Ike is one of those characters that is difficult to find, difficult to get to, and the place where he's located is easy to miss.
@@wilhemtehlynx seriously im the only one who never missed Ike after the first time?, i mean, you have a LOT of screen in both sides when you enter in that fragment of the stage (Subspace 2 as i remember). that should tell you there is something behind you.
i just don't know why people miss him so many times.
Unrelated question: Who's SGB? I do know that TRG is the TheRunawayGuys.
@@justinnzamora5366 you remember SomecallmeJohnny from the Sonic OVA review? Well he along with his brother Elliot and his best friend Matt had a let’s play channel called the Super Gaming Bros., or SGB for short. They are currently not making any content anymore because of outside events, but they have a boat load of previous let’s plays to watch. I would recommend Kingdom Hearts 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog to start off with.
@@slashtheporcupine6746 I see now. Thanks for the clarification.
Time to be that guy! Galleom, the boss you referred to as "the gorilla boss", was actually a boss from the original version of Kirby's Return to Dreamland when it was a GameCube game. He actually shows up in the game's old trailers!
Great video, but Dedede wasn't taking orders from Ganondorf. He knew about the Subspace Army's plan, and was capturing fighters to put badges on them that would make them return to their original form to save the others
Smash bros the most ambitious crossover before endgame.
Nah, it’s more ambitious than endgame.
Nah, spyro and crash fusion are the best without a doubt
Smash is the *ultimate* crossover game
@@playbossthebest936 true.
Does the MCU even count as a crossover?
I'm actually hoping to create a series based on Smash Bros one day, which I'm envisioning as a successor to "Subspace Emissary"! hopefully, I can attain a similar level of charm that this story did with every character in the series!
Wouldn't an anime be better?
Do you care about the levels and bosses at all?
Well, you will not be able to use nintendo characters, but you might be able to use characters from Indie developers. Essentially you can make a crossover between all Indies, something like "Indie Kart Racing" for OUYA/Android/Windows. Just with Smash instead of Kart racing
@@KingOskar4 who said this was going to be a game? it's a story! a fan-fiction, if anything!
@@almondjoy4938 firstly, it's not going to be animated, it's going to be a written story.
secondly, I do care! in fact, I want this series to combine the best parts of all 3 adventure modes (not counting Smash Run), such as it being actual locations from the games, being written similar to Subspace Emissary, though with talking, and the scope of World of Light!
@@ssbhawk7309 Now that's interesting! I'm on board with that.

oh we talking about Melee? I thought this was a Brawl video
*incoming melee elitists
They are coming for you now.
I still think 64 is worse by default, just because all other games improve on it in SO many ways
You maniac, what have you done!? You're going to get us all killed!
@@johncomi6389 very true
I’ve never been very good at fighting games, but Brawl still holds a special place in my heart thanks to this mode.
Actually King Dedede and Wario weren’t taking orders from Ganon, Wario wanted the shiny trophies and King Dedede wanted to cause mischief (and didn’t mind stealing trophies either.), although not actual harm. Although, it is said somewhere that he unintentionally messed up Meta Knight’s attempt to defend the Halberd from the Subspace army (which was initially why it showed up first to raid the arena, and why Meta Knight was in the middle of nowhere, confusing Marth as an enemy).
I remember playing through the plot and losing my stuff when the King DeDeDe pins resurrected Luigi and Ness
As cool as World of Light was, I think it's nice to take a *_trip_* to Subspace to remember it
The way he holds the Wiimote at 2:17 is the most unintentionally disgusting thing I've ever witnessed
8:09 at least the gorilla boss got that much.
i thought galleom was a large robotic rhino
11:00 Those characters are there because of the game being delayed. Sonic pushed the game from December 2007 to March 2008 so they went ahead and added in Toon Link, Wolf, and returned Jigglypuff into the main game. They just shoehorned them into the post-story content since Subspace was basically already done.
Best smash mode, best smash mode! imagine this with ultimates characters and controls!
Geoy Baney It would truly be the ultimate smash experience if we got that.
With Ultimate's controls? Definently better.
With Ultimate's characters? Dear god, do you want the story to become a clustered mess with THAT many characters?
@@adrianleonce455 yes I do, it will add to the chaos and be better lol
@@Nezu-Kong Choas can be fun. But TOO MUCH choas can be a disaster. There needs to be some kind of balance between order and chaos, kinda like with Galleem and Dharkon from WoL.
@@adrianleonce455 fair enough, I think if anyone could do it, it's Sakurai
Huh, this is the fastest I’ve ever been for AntDude! Neat!
I love this mode, playing on the hardest setting is pretty wild. It's also rather cool how this is more or less what a legitimately hard Kirby game would play like :D
5:55 that was no accident
Befor ultamite brawl was my favorite
Same that and 4 3ds
not even including the subspace emissary, Brawl is my favorite smash game
The reason Sonic shows up right at the end of Subspace is the same reason Toon Link, Wolf, and Jigglypuff are unlocked in such a weird way: They were added late in the game's development.
Sonic's inclusion in Brawl was responsible for the game getting delayed, and Jigglypuff was seriously being considered to get scrapped from the game entirely.
9:09 GREAT MAZZZZEEE DAMMMMMIT I I I OMFG I CANT THE GRETA MAZE WAS COOL BUT IT WAS HELLLL
I've just thought of an alternate plot to World of Light: Everyone still gets shot with the trophy beams, but we have our focus on Lucas who wakes up unconscious in Ashley's House, and the town that has the very few survivors of the trophy beams(at least not until the big city, but it's threatend by Ashengard(Fire Emblem) but Lucas and Ashley use their magic to beat Ashengard to save the town from more ruckus. Now this is only the first part of the story, but I can tell you that The DLC Characters will be here, and because of that, their series will involve more than just the character, they will have characters from across their franchise. Example: Joker, there will now be characters from the past 2 games here, so there will now be Nanako, Yosuke, Akihiko, Rise, Fuuka, Dojima and more from the series. Also there will be some series that aren't in smash ultimate(at least not yet), I'll have Ace Attorney, and DANGANRONPA (wow all of this sounds like a mouthful). Finally there will be new events in the towns of World of Light, for example: there will now be a school where characters from a variety of series are stuck and can't get out, Lucas Jeff(EarthBound), and Ruff(Dragon Quest VII) find out the reason the doors won't open is because of an imprisoned KIIBO(DANGANRONPA) who is used as the power source. Yeah this might sound like a big mess, but I think this can work.
3:17 Smash predicted Amiibo
Wouldn't it be awesome if in SSBU, one of Rob's costumes was that robed version from subspace.
Yes it would.
Subspace Emissary, the inspiration for what was once the longest single work of fiction ever written in English.
Seriously, "The Subspace Emissary's World Conquest" is a fanfiction with a 4.1 Million word count.
Dearest dude of the ant,
the reason those three characters were only unlockable AFTER defeating Tabuu, is because they were characters that were added to the base game at the last second.
It's weird Jigglypuff almost wasn't added to the game though.
And Sonic is at the end of the story because he was added towards the end of the story mode's development.
Subspace Emissary > World of Light
*Subspace Emissary >>>>>>>>>> World of Light
I think from a RelaxAlax video, he talks about brawl and describes how those extra 3 hidden characters in Subspace weren't part of the story because they were added last minute. When Sonic delayed Brawl, Nintendo was able to add in more doods, but they couldn't change the cutscenes in time. I think that was the whole problemo.
I LOVED this game, and this mode was the reason I did so gosh dang much!!!! Thank you for making this video and showing some love to this mode and this game. I really enjoyed every minute of it.
Getting these boss trophies/stickers were a pain to obtain.
I really love it for the story and the groups it made(especially Pokémon Trainer and Lucas), I’d love a Subspace 2. But with the Brawl cast. And maybe the ones cut from Brawl that were in Melee too, as the villains probably.
evil pichu
Subspace's story was leagues above World of Light. Hell the freaking TRAILER for World of Light was just the first cutscene and that was the only time you see the characters in the actual cutscenes
I loved Subspace Emissary but I loved World of Light also. Both modes were a ton of fun to me.
