Masterpieces

Masterpieces (名作トライアル, masterpiece trial) are free time-limited trial versions of classic Nintendo titles which the characters of Brawl have appeared in. The full versions can be purchased for the Virtual Console. To save the player time, Masterpieces skip the title and opening of a game. Certain Masterpeices start at specific points of the game that are relevant to Brawl, such as the Donkey Kong Masterpiece starting at the 75m level, while games that supported saving have some built in saves set to various points of the game.

Games included are:

• Super Mario Bros. (NES) - 1:00
• Ice Climber (NES) - 0:40

Trivia

- If you get a game over in the Super Mario Bros Two Demo the menu comes up and goes to the character select screen, when you select the other characters you find that they work fine despite the demo being programmed to start with peach. This raises the question of how much of the game you could play without the timer, The same can happen with the others if you die quickly e.g the 2 player mode on the super mario bros demo being entact.
