It's been a long time since the Super Smash Brothers Melee Tournament went down, and the Master Hand had brought some promising new fighters to the previous tournament. Now, The Master Hand is back, searching for fighters, new and old, in the Super Smash Brothers Brawl Tournament!
"Toad, take these letters to their correct addresses, I want this tournament to be the best ever!" The Master Hand laughed evilly.
"Yes Sir, don't you worry, this time around, the smash tournament will be the best of the best," Toad said.
"If you do your job correctly, then it will be," The Master Hand pointed to Toad before rushing him through the worlds portal.
Over in the Mushroom Kingdom, Luigi was getting some much deserved rest, when Mario came back from another journey.
"Finally back, eh bro?" Luigi asked.
"Oh, Luigi, good to seeya buddy, how's it goin?" Mario asked.
"Same old, same old, I get to sit around all day, doing nothing but chores, while you get to save a princess," Luigi sighed.
"Oh cheer up bro, maybe something good will happen soon," Mario said.
"Hopefully, I'm not really in for sticking around home for much longer, I wanna explore other places!" Luigi said.
"Like I just said, maybe something cool will happen soon bro," Mario said.
"Like right now!" Toad said as he came down in a jet pack.
"Toad? Wait, you're the Smash Tournament announcer Toad aren't you?" Mario asked.
"What are you doing here?" Luigi asked, a little more excitement evident in his voice.
"Why else would I be here, I only come by for one reason, and one reason only," Toad said, "To drop off the letter for the Smash Brothers tourney."
"So…there is another one eh?" Mario asked.
"Of course there is! The Master Hand anticipates this one to be the biggest yet!" Toad said, handing both Mario and Luigi their individual letters before flying off towards Peach's castle.
"The biggest yet eh? And didja hear bro, we both get to go…AGAIN!" Luigi cheered.
"I can't wait to see everyone again, especially Link!" Mario nodded.
Meanwhile, over at Peach's castle, Peach was looking out over at the Kingdom on her bedroom balcony, when…
"Princess Peach! Princess Peach! We have big news!" A guard Toad said, as he ran in, waving a slip of paper that looked like an envelope about in his hand.
"What is it?" Peach asked.
"It's a little m'lady, addressed to you, from the Master Hand!" Toad said.
"The Master Hand? But isn't he the organizer for the Smash Brothers tournament from a few years ago?" Peach asked.
"I think so, but open it! You gotta see why he'd be writing to you after so long!" Toad said.
"Right!" Peach said as she opened the letter up, and began reading, "Another tournament, starts in a few days, and I'm invited to compete in it!" Peach said.
"Really Princess? This is wondrous news! The doctor also got another one too!" Toad said.
"The Dr. Mario? I wonder if his cousin got one," Peach said.
"Of course Mario got one princess, he is the hero of this kingdom after all," Toad said.
"You're right, how silly of me to forget," Peach said, sticking her tongue out and clonking her fist on her head.
Over at Bowser's castle, the Smash Toad reluctantly entered Bowser's throne room, to deliver him his letter.
"A Toad? What is your business here?" Bowser growled furiously.
` "I've come, to deliver this…t…to you sir," Toad said nervously.
"What is it? A letter? Why would I want this?" Bowser asked.
"B…because sir…it's in your best interest to attend," Toad said.
"Attend what?" Bowser asked as finally opened the envelope to find the smash tournament invitation inside, "Oh…so it's another smash brothers tournament hmmm? Well, it sounds like a good opportunity to finally crush Mario, I'm in!" Bowser laughed.
"Did I get invited too daddy?" Bowser Jr. asked.
"Sorry kiddo, but not this time," Toad laughed.
"No fair! I wanted to go last time too!" Bowser Jr. whined.
"Oh shut up son! You'll be invited next time, no doubt about it!" Bowser laughed, "Now, where's my clown ship?"
Deep in the Kongo Jungle, Donkey Kong slept inside his cousin Cranky Kong's house.
"Uncle DK, you have a visitor!" Diddy Kong said, jumping on his uncle's chest, and slapping him.
"What is it Diddy?" DK asked.
"It's the messenger Toad, he has a letter for you," Diddy Kong said.
"Not only for him Diddy, but you too!" Toad said.
"I get one too?" Diddy Kong asked.
"It would appear as we have both been invited to go to the next Smash Tournament, finally, another chance to showcase my skills," DK laughed.
"I wonder if Mario will be there too," Diddy Kong said.
"Of course he will, Mario won the very first super smash brothers tournament, there is no doubt that he would be brought back," DK said.
"Who won Melee Uncle DK?" Diddy Kong asked.
"A young 'star warrior', known as Kirby held that honor," DK said.
"So we should probably target Kirby and Mario pretty early this time around then eh?" Diddy Kong asked.
"That would be a good idea," DK grinned.
On Yoshi's Island, the newly elected tribe leader Yoshi, was getting some much deserved rest.
"Finally, a nap, it's been a long time since I could sleep during the day," Yoshi said.
"Hold the phone there Yoshi, I got something for ya!" Toad said as landed on the window sill to Yoshi's tree house.
"A letter? What could it be for?" Yoshi asked.
"Open it, you'll find out," Toad said.
"A letter to that Smash tournament thingy? I really can go back?" Yoshi asked.
"Yes, you have been invited to go back," Toad said happily.
"COOL! Now I can prove to everyone that I'm not just some useless fighter!" Yoshi cheered.
"Good to hear it Yoshi, now get packed, the tournament starts in only a few days now," Toad said.
At Diamond City, the famous president of Warioware Incorporated sat in his Corporate Executive Officer chair filing papers. Wario then had a knock at his door.
"Come in," Wario said.
"Wario sir, I have a letter for you," Mona said, as she walked in, pushing her secretarial glasses up.
"Ah yes, thank you!" Wario said, as he took the letter from her.
"I'll be taking my leave of you now sir," Mona said.
"Hmmm…what is this?" Wario asked, stroking his chin, "An invitation hmmm, to Super Smash Brothers? This sounds promising, bwahahaha!"
As Toad continued on his journey, his next stop was Hyrule. "Link, take your invitation please, you too Zelda.
"Invitation? To another Smash Tournament?" Link said.
"So it looks like we get to compete again!" Zelda cheered.
"Another chance to win it all, and to see Mario again," Link smiled, "And this time, I'll beat him."
"So, another Smash Tournament, this time, the dark lord Ganondorf will reign supreme above all else!" Ganondorf said, laughing maniacally.
"Smash Brothers? Isn't that a huge tournament? Well, whatever, count me in!" Toon Link said.
"So I get to see my older self again huh? This time I'll beat him!" Young Link said, clapping his hands together.
"I hope this tournament is worth going to, otherwise I'd have no purpose in even competing, I'd better win this time," Samus said, putting on her helmet.
"Oh boy! Palutena, I got invited to the smash tournament! Do you know how long I've been waiting for this opportunity?" Pit asked.
"Go then Pit, fly towards your dream!" Palutena said.
"Another smash tournament? We'll take this one easy, right Popo?" Nana asked.
"Right Nana!" Popo nodded.
"Poyo?" Kirby asked Meta Knight
"Yes Kirby, it would appear that there is another smash tournament, and that I will be joining this time as well," Meta Knight said.
"I am too, what a coincidence! So AM I," King Dedede laughed.
"Lets go Pikmin, form up!" Olimar said, "Off to the smash tournament!"
"Ahhh, so we're goin to yet another smash tourney together eh Falco?" Fox asked.
"Looks like it, I just hope I beatcha this time!" Falco said.
"Smash? Sounds like some fun, looks like I'll be getting to pummel some poor suckers down then," Wolf laughed.
"Captain Falcon returns to smash for a third time huh? Sounds like a golden opportunity to me! I'm gonna take this one right to the end!" Captain Falcon shouted.
"Pika Pika, Pikachu!" Pikachu said.
"PICHU!" Pichu jumped happily.
"A smash tournament? And I can compete with all of my pokemon? Sounds great, I'm in!" Red cheered excitedly.
"Smash huh? Looks like my constant training will finally pay off," Lucario said.
"JIGGLYPUFF!" Jigglypuff said.
"Smash Bros, again hmmm? Seems like they haven't learned from their most recent tournament, but I'll show them," Mewtwo said.
"Smash brothers, I remember this, I'll make a clean sweep this time around," Roy said.
"I'm ready to rumble!" Marth said, "I hope to do my best!"
"Lets go! I can handle this tournament! I won a whole war!" Ike said.
"Mom, I'm going to the Smash Tournament!" Ness said, as he put on his backpack and ran out the door.
"Oh… the smash tournament, I hope Ness is going…," Lucas said.
"Another tournament…sounds like it'll be better this time around," the text appeared in a word bubble above the head of Mr. Game and Watch, who teleported out of Flat Zone.
"Ahhh…Smash Brothers, I believe I've seen every tournament, so I finally get to meet me idols, Mario and Link, though I'll undoubtedly become a fan-favorite soon myself," Snake said.
"A tournament? I prefer racing, but whatevs, I can probably outrun any of those idiots!" Sonic laughed.
"All tournament entrants located and entered, entering final data," R.O.B said, as a list printed from his chest.
"And so it begins," An unknown voice said.
A large stadium like area floated high above the ground, where many of the competitors were reuniting.
"So I wonder where everyone is?" Mario said.
"Look, there goes someone!" Luigi said.
"Where?" Peach asked.
Link climbed onto the stadiums landing dock, and walked over to Mario.
"Ah, Mario, long time no see man, this time, you're not taking the title you know!" Link laughed.
"Oh, that's what you think! I'll be snatching that title right up!" Mario laughed, as him and Link shook hands.
"Oh Link, it's good to see you again," Peach said.
"Hey Peach! What's up? And Luigi, you're back too! This is great!" Link smiled.
"And ready to roll!" Luigi smiled.
"So people are already here huh? I thought I'd get here first," Fox said.
"Looks like you beat me here though Fox, you're not gonna beat me in the tournament though," Falco said.
"Hey, it's Fox and Falco, glad you to got invited," Zelda said.
"We're glad to, now we can kick all your butts~" Fox laughed.
"And then I'll kick his!" Falco said, everyone just laughed as another ship landed.
"Oh, long time no see guys," A beautiful woman said as she stepped out of the ship.
"Luigi think he needs a nappy!" Luigi said as he fainted.
"Who is that anyway?" Fox asked.
"Oh, don't tell me that you don't recognize me!" The woman pouted, as the armor returned to her.
"S…Samus? You're a girl?" Falco asked confusedly.
"Took you long enough to figure that one out," Samus chuckled, as DK, Diddy Kong, and Yoshi showed up.
"I'm here! Mario!" DK called out.
"Donkey Kong! What a happy reunion this is!" Mario said.
"Hey Mario," Yoshi said.
"And you guys brought Yoshi, this is beginning to look a lot like last year!" Mario said.
"Cept for me, I'm new around here!" Diddy Kong said.
"But we know who you are Diddy," Peach laughed.
"I don't, but it's nice to meet you anyway," Fox nodded.
An angel boy flew down from above.
"So you guys are my competition huh? Looks like it's gonna be tough! But I know who all of you are, I'm a huge fan of the smash tournament!" Pit said.
"So…who are you?" Zelda asked.
"I'm Kid Icarus! Also known as Pit!" Pit said.
"Nice to meet you Pit, I'm Snake," Snake said, as he got out from under a cardboard box that he had been hiding under the whole time.
"Hey you're not from Nintendo!" Mario shouted.
"Let him go!" A word bubble above Mr. Game and Watch's head said as he arrived.
"Mr. Game and Watch is back? Cool!" Luigi shouted.
"This is great, all of the coolest people are gathering here!" Pit cheered.
"So I take it you know us then right?" Popo asked as both him and Nana showed up.
"Of course, you're Popo and Nana, the Ice Climbers!" Pit said.
"Cool, he really does remember who we are!" Nana cheered.
"Pika Pika!" Pikachu said, as he walked up with Lucario, Red, Jigglypuff, and Pichu.
"No Mewtwo this time?" Link asked.
"Mewtwo was at the last one of these things? NO WAY!" Red gasped.
"What are you supposed to be?" Falco asked.
"I'm a Pokemon Trainer, I have Pokemon that remain loyal and fight for me!" Red said.
"You command Pokemon? That's pretty cool!" Mario said.
"And I am a wild pokemon named Lucario, nice to meet you all," Lucario said.
"Another talking Pokemon hmm? The only other Pokemon I know that can talk is Mewtwo," Marth said as he walked in with Roy and Ike.
"Cool! It's so good to see everybody again!" Roy said.
"That kids back? He was pretty strong in the last tournament if I remember correctly, didn't he get third?" Fox asked.
"If he did, all the more reason to try and eliminate him early," Falco said.
"Whose the new guy?" Mario asked.
"My name is Ike, a warrior of Tellius!" Ike said, introducing himself.
"I wonder how many other people are gonna show up," Link said.
"Two of them looking exactly like you do Link," Zelda giggled.
"Two? What the…," Link said, turning around, seeing Toon Link and Young Link standing right behind him.
"Older form, this time I'll take you down!" Young Link said.
"Sorry you guys, but I'll be winning this tournament!" Toon Link said.
"Oh great! Now there's more of me!" Link whined.
"You gonna cry about it Link?" Captain Falcon asked as he showed up.
"Oh look it's the captain, what's up Captain Falcon?" Mario asked.
"I'm ready to win! That's what's up!" Captain Falcon said, saluting.
"Me too, I'm Captain Olimar!" Olimar said.
"Olimar? Never heard of you before," Ness said.
"Me neither, sounds like a type of noodle," Lucas said.
"Ness! What's up, whose your friend?" Young Link asked, high fiving Ness.
"This is Lucas, he's a new around here," Ness said, "He's a bit shy!"
"Hey, no I'm not!" Lucas blushed.
"Jigglypuff!" Jigglypuff stated.
"Did that marshmallow just talk?" Lucas shouted.
Kirby was carried in on a throne for being the winner of the previous tournament.
"Poyo!" Kirby said, gesturing for the throne bearers to put him down.
"Kirby's here! Now it's a party!" Mario said, Kirby smiled cutely.
"This time Kirby, we're gonna beat you," Link smirked, Kirby gave the 'bring it on' hand motion.
"I am Kirby's friend, Meta Knight," Meta Knight said, swooping down.
"He's practically the same size as Kirby is!" Ness said, "Is everyone from your guys world that tiny?" Ness asked.
"I'm not!" King Dedede said obnoxiously as he walked up too.
"And you are?" Peach asked.
"I'm da king of that world you guys were just talkin bout," King Dedede said, "And now I'm here to prove that I'm not weak!"
"You sure look weak," Ganondorf said as he appeared from the shadows.
"Who are you?" King Dedede asked.
"My name is Ganondorf, the prince of darkness," Ganondorf said.
"And I'm the king of koopas, Bowser!" Bowser roared.
"Oh Bowser, come to get your butt kicked by my brother again?" Luigi asked, as everyone started laughing.
"Shut up Luigi! This time, things are gonna be different!" Bowser roared.
"Yes, like the newcomer Wario taking the prize, wahahahaha!" Wario laughed.
"Wario? Who invited you?" Mario asked.
"I got an exclusive invite from the Master Hand himself, got a problem? Wario asked.
"Am I really the last one here?" Wolf asked, as the player count went up to thirty-seven out of forty, "Guess not."
"Wolf O'Donnell! Looks like this will be fun!" Fox chuckled.
"Oh Fox, good to see you in tip-top shape, lets make this one count huh?" Wolf grinned.
"Is that everyone?" Dr. Mario asked.
"Oh great! My annoying medical cousin is here too?" Mario said, rolling his eyes.
"Weren't you like…the first one out last time?" Luigi asked.
"Yes, but I'm going to change that this time!" Dr. Mario said.
"Then I expect to see you in the finals!" a blue bolt said as it zipped past them.
"What the heck was that?" Mario asked.
"It was blue, that's all I know!" Pit said.
"It was me, none other than…Sonic the Hedgehog," Sonic said.
"Oh that sega guy, that's right, so Snake, Mario, and Sonic, maybe we'll be the final three," Snake said, as everyone glared at him.
"You're gonna have some trouble getting there," Link grinned.
"That is everyone," R.O.B said as he came out of the stadium door, and the competitor count hit forty.
"Here we go, it's about to start!" Pit said, "I can't wait!"
"Please follow me!" R.O.B said, as the group started following him, the eventually came out to a fighting arena, where they all stood, looking up at a giant screen, millions of people, and the Master and Crazy hands on either side of a mysterious cloaked figure.
"Welcome back warriors! and for the newcomers welcome!" The mysterious cloaked figure said.
"That's new, who are you?" Link asked.
\ "In due time my friend, but first, some rules!" The figure said.
"We already know the rules though!" Luigi said.
"We have changed the tournament around this time," The figure explained.
"So what do we do now?" Samus asked.
"These capsules here, are similar to Pokeballs, you will each get four, and use them to capture assist trophies that you may find, the icon for an assist trophy will appear on your scanner watch that you are also to be given," The figure explained.
"But we're just fighting in a tournament," Fox said.
"Not this time young warrior, you will all be scattered to different worlds, and the odds of returning to your own are slim, there you will track down other fighters and challenge them in combat, the losers are eliminated from the tournament, the winners may continue hunting, also, the currency of the world you are transported to is only valid in that world, but you may use the currency you collect there to stock up on items," The figure continued explaining.
"Sounds like the tournaments gonna be crazy this time around," Roy said.
"The last thing, certain stickers can help boost your powers, so collect as many as you can," The figure finished.
"Stickers? Sounds a bit childish to me," Snake said.
"Without further ado, let the games…BEGIN!" The figure said, as the stadium opened up, and a bright light emerged from the opening, all of the contestants fell in, and were transported to different places.
The first contestant, awoke in Animal City, and began his journey…
