** Zelda still has her alter ego Sheik as an alternate form despite no game other than 1998's ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' at that point having her take on that appearance. However, Sheik returned because when ''Brawl'' entered development, 2006's ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' was still in early production and that team planned to have the character reappear.
** The game features basically no content from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'', which was released in November 2007, due to the two games having mostly-concurrent development cycles. It's only briefly mentioned in the game's Chronicle, and the game instead treats ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' as the latest mainline ''Mario'' game. For the same reason, content on ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption'' is nonexistent (only having a mention in the Chronicle), so the newest ''Metroid'' content in the game is as of ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime2Echoes'' (console, 2004) and ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeHunters'' (handheld and overall, 2006).

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter:
** [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus]], originally a standard fighter, received an alternate form in this game but cannot switch to it at will. Using her Final Smash breaks her Varia Suit and leaves her in the Zero Suit, who is faster and has more close-ranged attacks, just like Sheik. Using [[VideoGame/MetroidZeroMission Zero Suit Samus]]' Final Smash will regenerate the Varia Suit. Also like Sheik, holding down buttons before a match starts will turn the player into Zero Suit Samus without needing a Final Smash. Just like Zelda/Sheik, ''3DS/Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'' turned Samus into two separate characters and removed the transformation mechanic.
** The [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon Trainer]] is a step above Zelda and Samus as a three-form fighter; they can switch between Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard at will with their down special. All three Pokémon tire out if used for too long at a time, encouraging continuous switching. Each Pokémon has basic ElementalRockPaperScissors weaknesses and resistances as well, though it ends up being FakeBalance (fire-element attacks are extremely common in the roster while grass-type and water-type damage is nearly nonexistent). The fourth game replaced the Trainer with just Charizard, but brought them back in ''Ultimate'' with the same mechanics minus the tiredness and element systems, making them the only multi-form fighter on the roster at launch.
** [[VideoGame/{{Pikmin}} Olimar/Alph]] is a MinionMaster whose majority of attacks are tied to his Pikmin; he has very few moves that deal damage when he's by himself. He can pull one of five types out of the ground with his neutral special, and can have up to six following him at once (three in ''3DS/Wii U'' and ''Ultimate''). Pikmin die if an opponent manages to hit them, so Olimar needs to recover them with his whistle if they get too far away. In later games, his recovery, Winged Pikmin, gets more effective when Olimar has fewer Pikmin.
** All of [[Franchise/{{Kirby}} Meta Knight's]] special moves double as recovery moves. Each one is so potent on their own — especially on top of his multiple jumps — that they render him helpless when completed, preventing players from chaining them together.
** [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]] has attacks with unusual timing to them, including an up special with extremely high recovery which makes him very vulnerable. His Grenades are projectiles that deal ScratchDamage if they hit his opponents, as their timed explosions are what causes any real damage, and his Remote Missiles are manually controlled. Originally in ''Brawl'', he had a very unconventional down smash, involving him planting a landmine that would either explode after a set amount of time or when someone got too close to it. As of ''Ultimate'', his down smash was changed.
** [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Lucario]] grows stronger as he takes damage, increasing both his damage output and the size of his special moves' effects, making him a character all about managing risk and taking advantage of bad situations. While ''3DS/Wii U'' extended the increased knockback effect to every fighter through the new Rage mechanic, Lucario remains the only one whose moves deal more damage and behave differently because of it.
** [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus]], originally a standard fighter, received an alternate form in this game but cannot switch to it at will. Using her Final Smash breaks her Varia Suit and leaves her in the Zero Suit, who is faster and has more close-ranged attacks, just like Sheik.

* ArtificialStupidity:
** In general, CPU-controlleed characters have trouble with the idea that stages aren't always completely static. If the bottom of the stage is occupied by horizontally moving platforms, the computer-controlled characters will miss the platforms by a mile every single time.
** The AI can navigate custom stages fairly well... unless it has [[SpikesOfDoom spikes]]. [=CPUs=] don't quite seem to get the idea that spikes are bad, and it's not uncommon to see a CPU work their damage up hundreds higher than normal just bouncing on spikes. They only get the hint when they're about one inch away from them and unable to do anything about it.
** Trampolines. If you're on one side of a wall and the CPU is on the other, it will spend tons of time trying to jump over the wall, even if it's too high, despite there being a spring behind it which it could use to jump over the wall.
** It has trouble with the falling blocks, too - it doesn't seem to have any foresight, so it will often remain standing on a block until it's too low to reach the rest of the stage.
** The AI will constantly approach dangerous items only to roll away from them just before they get hurt.
** The AI will always perform an air dodge immediately after being struck in air, or being hit into the air, oblivious to there being a brief window of vulnerability as one ends. It's quite easy to juggle them to death by simply timing your attacks.
** Fox, Falco and Wolf have a habit of driving off the stage to their deaths when using their Final Smash. This is particularly common on Lylat Cruise, but can happen in a wide variety of other places as well.

The Pokémon Trainer invokes this trope by not actually being the fighter, but rather has you controlling his Pokémon which swap with down B in order of Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard.

All three Pokémon have different weight classes, allowing players to make good use of combo moves utilizing their switch mechanic. Also in ''Brawl'', veteran fighter [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]] gains an alternate form: her [[VideoGame/MetroidZeroMission Zero Suit self]]. While the armored version is slower and projectile-heavy, the Zero Suit version is faster and more melee-oriented. Samus can switch between armored and Zero Suit forms via Final Smash (although, while it's hard, armored Samus can also rapidly taunt to shed her armor).

* ContinuingIsPainful: If you use a continue in the game, you'll get a 20,000-point penalty ''in addition'' to getting your score cut in half, making it a more serious blow to anyone going for a high score.

** Zelda still has her alter ego Sheik as an alternate form despite no game other than 1998's ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' at that point having her take on that appearance. However, Sheik returned because when ''Brawl'' entered development, 2006's ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' was still in early production and that team planned to have the character reappear.
** The game features basically no content from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'', which was released in November 2007, due to the two games having mostly-concurrent development cycles. It's only briefly mentioned in the game's Chronicle, and the game instead treats ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' as the latest mainline ''Mario'' game. For the same reason, content on ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption'' is nonexistent (only having a mention in the Chronicle), so the newest ''Metroid'' content in the game is as of ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime2Echoes'' (console, 2004) and ''VideoGame/MetroidPrimeHunters'' (handheld and overall, 2006).

No idea where I got this example from, as that trope doesn't exist, so I'm merging it with Loads And Loads Of Loading. Also removed a YMMV link

* LoadingData: The character [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]] can transform into her disguised form, [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Sheik]], and the Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Trainer can switch his Pokémon. The game does not stop while loading the new character's model, but the loading is hidden by their transforming animation. During the animation, one can audibly hear the Wii loading data.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: Fights take a noticeably longer time to load, and some loading can even be experienced ''during'' the fights, such as Zelda and Sheik's transformation. This is especially noticeable in the All-Star Event Matches, where opponents can take up to seven seconds to spawn, counting from the beginning of the battle.
