Easter Eggs

  1. Character Conversations

    Tap the D-pad down while using the following characters in the appropriate stages to trigger mid-battle conversations:

    Fox/Falco: Lylat Cruise, Corneria (Melee stage)
    Wolf: Lylat Cruise
    Snake: Shadow Moses Island

  2. K.K. Slider Concert

    If you play any kind of Brawl on the "Smashville" Animal Crossing stage when your Wii's internal clock is set to a Saturday between the hours of 8:00 PM and midnight, K.K. "Totakeke" Slider will appear in the background of the stage and serenade your brawl.

Secrets

  1. Selecting Zero Suit Samus

    To use Zero Suit Samus at the start of a match, select Samus on the character screen and hold the following button before the match starts with the corresponding controller that is being used:

    Gamecube/Classic controller: Hold the R button
    Wii Remote with Nunchuk: Hold the Z button
    Wii Remote: Hold the Minus (-) button

    Note that this also works with stages like Mushroomy Kingdom.

  2. Easy CD and Sticker Drops

    First, acquire Stage Builder Parts Set B (Make 5 custom stages). Make a level where there are conveyor belts running into a wall, and a platform somewhere in the level that a player can stand on and stay there.

    Plug in a second controller. Go into options, and set every item EXCEPT Sandbag off. Set items to high. Go into your conveyor-belt-level in a regular Brawl and have the second character jump and stay on the platform, so it's not in the way.

    Now, when the Sandbags fall, they'll stay at the wall. Use your character (Kirby's basic A attack, repeatedly, recommended or another character that can hit many times quickly.) to hit the Sandbags over and over. Since all other items are turned off, only stickers and CDs will appear. This is the easiest way to get a lot of CDs/Stickers quickly.

  3. Fight Crazy Hand in Classic Mode.

    To fight Crazy Hand in Classic, you must reach the Master Hand in under nine minutes and without using any continues. Also, it must be completed on Hard mode or higher. If these conditions are met, Crazy Hand will appear alongside Master Hand at the start of the match.
