Smashpedia:Super Smash Bros. Brawl Launch Center/New Additions

Character Changes


 * Mario - F.L.U.D.D. is now his down B move, while Mario Tornado is his standard arial-down attack.
 * Link - His basic design is based off of Twilight Princess, and thus his weapons and abilities have also slightly changed. His bow has changed into his Hero's Bow and can shoot farther, his boomerang has changed into his Gale Boomerang and can generate whirlwinds, his bombs have changed in appearance, and he can now charge his spin attack while on solid ground.
 * Kirby - He greatly resembles the Kirby from the original Super Smash Bros. video game in terms of how he controls.
 * Fox McCloud - Not much has changed with this character, though his appearance has been upgraded to suit the one from Command.
 * Samus Aran - Is a bit slower, though she can now change into Zero Suit Samus.
 * Zelda - Din's Fire is a bit bigger than before, and her overall appearance has changed.
 * Bowser - His fire move can now go on forever, and he's been greatly upgraded.
 * Yoshi - Can now perform a triple jump.
