Super Smash Bros. Smash Wars

Super Smash Bros. Smash Wars is the fourth installment in the Super Smash Bros. series of crossover fighting games. It is the first game in the Super Smash Bros. series to feature Star Wars characters, like Darth Vader and his secret apprentice, Starkiller, who is the main protagonist of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Some characters from the Kingdom Hearts series will be in the game as well. This game will also feature two different playable characters in each home system. Mitsurugi and Nightmare will be playable for the Xbox 360. Also, Spider-Man and Venom will be selectable for the PlayStation 3. For the Nintendo Wii, Mecha Sonic will be playable, so will Mecha Mario.

However, it has been announced on February 14, 2009 that players can get all these characters on their game systems. For example, Mitsurugi, and Nightmare are also unlockable on the PlayStation 3 and the Wii. Also, Spider-Man and Venom are unlockable on the Xbox 360 and the Wii. And finally, Mecha Sonic and Mecha Mario are unlockable on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. To unlock these characters for the PS3, Xbox 360, and the Wii, the player has to beat Event Match 92: Smashfall without losing any lives on hard difficulty.

Changes from Brawl to Smash Wars

 * You can create custom characters.
 * Some of the playable characters will have different Final Smashes due to RaidenX's new rule of no copy characters and moves.
 * Every playable character will have a new special move called the Super Smash. When a character fills up his/her super meter after giving enough damage to an opponent, the character will unleash his/her Super Smash attack. Their Super Smash moves are different from their Final Smashes. If a character uses both his/her Final Smash and Super Smash, their attacks will damage their opponents greatly, which might lead to One-hit KOs.
 * A new single player mode called Character Quest is available.
 * A new item: a lightsaber, will be replacing the Beam Sword.
 * Each playable character will have their own character menus.
