The previous game, Super Smash Bros. Melee, featured Pokémon Stadium, but it's been upgraded for this game into Pokémon Stadium 2.

This time around, you'll see guest Pokémon appearing in the background.

Ordinarily, it's a fairly orthodox stage when nothing special is happening.

But as time passes, the terrain transforms into four different types:
"Electric", "Ground", "Flying" and "Ice." For these four transformations, we've chosen types that were not present in Melee.

Terrain that changes suddenly makes fights excitingly unpredictable.

Characters like Pit, Meta Knight and the Pokémon Trainer's Charizard are envied at first glance for their wings.

Rumour has it they can use those wings to sail through the sky like gliders.

From the perspective of the rules of Smash, I sense that mastering this skill could be quite beneficial. That is, IF you can master it...

The Subspace Emissary, Super Smash Bros. Brawl's adventure mode, will feature bosses, according to Nintendo's Smash Bros. Blog, the first one being Petey Piranha. The website's latest update sheds a little detail on the huge boss character and comes up with three screenshots of him.

You'll probably remember Petey as the boss of Bianco Hills in Super Mario Sunshine for GameCube. In Brawl, Petey is bearing down on two iron cages, which imprison two princesses. Nintendo, in sort of a sick fashion, says you're forced to save either Zelda or Peach and asks, "What will happen to the one you don't save?!"

Super Dragon

It's tough to know what to call Yoshi ¿ some call him a dragon, others a dinosaur. Some people don't know WHAT he is.

But whatever you call him, Yoshi's true power will be seen here!

It feels like, um...beauty and elegance...mixed with clumsiness. Certainly, no one's ever seen Yoshi like this!

Being able to fly around is nice, as is giving undivided attention to his attacks. Yoshi can live as he likes, for a brief period of time.

New details have been released about the single player element of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, "The Subspace Emissary".

"The Subspace Emissary" storyline introduces a force of formless enemies called the Subspace Army. They are ruled by their commander, the Ancient Minister.

Their objective is to cut apart the world and carry it into Subspace. They use what are called Subspace Bombs to do so.

When a Subspace Bomb explodes, a section of the world gets excised and swallowed by Subspace.

This is a new, never-before-seen form of aggression...but now is no time to stop and stare. Everyone, everywhere, is beginning to move against it.

Princess Peach is hardcore! Despite dressing in pink, she fights dirty, according to Nintendo's latest Smash Bros. Dojo blog entry. The head of the Mushroom Kingdom kicks Mario in the rear in one photo and flings her DUSF, (designated, ugly small friend), Toad, at Bowser in another. She'd probably bitch slap Zero Suit Samus, too, if the Metroid star pulled any of that tether recovery move stuff from yesterday's update. See more images of the princess, pretty in pink while her opponents are black and blue at Gaming Target.

In a change from the traditional Smash Bros. formula, our generic Pokémon Trainer doesn't get involved with the fighting directly. Instead he sends out his captured critters to do the dirty work for him, that way keeping his attire in perfect condition so that he doesn't have to wash for a week - maybe?

A trio of Pokémon at this disposal doesn't mean three lots of energy, though. Instead, their life is combined. Balancing the abilities of your Pokémon is critical, we'd imagine, especially timing when to bring one in for a rest and sending another out.
