SSBB adventure mode details revealed: The Subspace Army

smashbros.com — "The Subspace Emissary" storyline introduces a force of formless enemies called the Subspace Army. They are ruled by their commander, the Ancient Minister. Their objective is to cut apart the world and carry it into Subspace. They use what are called Subspace bombs to do so. When a bomb explodes, a section of the world gets swallowed into subspace.

  • SyphonHawk, on 10/10/2007, -9/+1Does that mean that Piranha Plant is a playable character?
    • KnockoutNerd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Does this mean R.O.B will be a playable character?
    • nights0223, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20You mean Petey Piranha?
    • rpgguy1o1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12considering petey's head is like 7 times the size of peach/zelda, im going to say its just a boss
      • SkippyDoorknob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3He's playable in Mario Strikers
    • PAPAsoMEAN, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0I thought solid snake was gonna be in it?
      • maracle2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2who said he isent?
      • CurlyMike139125, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I think that the reason that SNake hasn't been showing up much recently is because any third party charcters will be unlockable, and they probably don't want to give much away about the unlockables
  • defectDS, on 10/10/2007, -4/+25This game is feeling less and less like the SSB I know, and I love it. Sakurai is a mastermind and I'm delighted with what he's doing to the game.
    • Nick22, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3Why? Because it has an adventure mode that doesnt suck?
      • braineater2448, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Yea really. its just Adventure Mode. The regular mode is still the same concept.
  • Dodobutt222, on 10/10/2007, -3/+45Women in cages, gotta love it ;)
  • jacobmp92, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25Mario gets owned in the video. Nothing like having a plumber hit in the face with a bowling ball.
    • Tikkimann, on 10/10/2007, -1/+151. I think it was a cannon ball.
      2. Have you ever seen a plumber hit in the face with a bowling ball? I haven't...
      • Okitaz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15I'm a part time plumber, and we have a league team.
        So yes, I have.
  • nivelnad, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15no, it probably means the piranha plant is a boss you have to fight in adventure mode. and also judging by the ship, metaknight is now basically confirmed as being involved in the whole subspace army thing. either that or he got shipjacked.
    • Konstantino, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5People keep saying that's Metaknight's ship, but I'm pretty sure it's just the ship of those subspace army guys. Why would a neutral character be involved in all this? (Aside from trying to stop it).
      • CurlyMike139125, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1That's just the ancient minister's ship? I guess he likes Metaknight's style, because that's the exact same ship.

        And Metaknight's evil. He's not a "neutral character".
      • Konstantino, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1@ CurlyMike:
        I guess you've never played the Kirby games. Metaknight's not evil -- the only reason he fights Kirby is in order to protect something Kirby's trying to get that'll result in a final boss.
  • LordofChaosIori, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Petey Piranha! I can't believe they're releasing so many new character so soon, just makes me wonder what huge secrets they have in store that makes them able to show us these characters (Pokemon Trainer, Petey Piranha). They must really have some great characters in store for the future.
    • NeoCortex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I don't think Petey Piranha will be playable given his size and usual slow movement. I'm expecting him to be a boss like Master Hand or Giga Bowser in Melee.
  • tradwolley, on 10/10/2007, -17/+2This will be great. Now if they can just get Master Chief.
    • seraph582, on 10/10/2007, -11/+2that would definitely be cool, but microsoft and their products aren't even on N's radar at this point
    • CurlyMike139125, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I can't begin to point out everything wrong with that statement.
  • DreKor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25So, there's a crazy evil guy who is trying to suck the world into nothingness? Didn't I already avert that crisis in Super Paper Mario?
    • MonsterChaOS, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Was thinking the exact same thing!
    • Snuff99, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Either one of you smucks have a better story line? Let'er rip....that's what I thought.
      • SkippyDoorknob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8He kidnaps Princess Peach?
      • BuGz213, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4They are doing that also by the looks of it... and Zelda also... so there are 2 princesses to save.
        • Terr01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2So... assuming a fixed number of castles, that makes the game half as long when it comes to finding the princess?
  • AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -3/+23Screw Bioshock and Halo 3, this is going to be the greatest game in the world.

    /Already owns Bioshock PC Edition.
    • gweedo767, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Bid Daddy confirmed as playable character!
      • AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -2/+3*Busts up laughing at the idea of Peach being a Little Sister..*
      • VgRasta, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0BIG Daddy.
  • MonsterChaOS, on 10/10/2007, -7/+12JUST GIVE ME SONIC AND KNUCKLES ALREADY!
  • dualscreenman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16R.O.B never looked so cool.
    Love the visceral look of Petey Pirahna too.
    • ZigVicious, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8never looked so cool.?
      it never looked cool. this is the first time it's ever done that.
  • juniorlikespie, on 10/10/2007, -19/+2not to sound elitist. but this made front page 2 weeks ago how is this news?!
    • Snuff99, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11This video wasn't even out 2wks ago you penis.
    • Konstantino, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7This was posted today...
    • Shaderone, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Junior, that would be the Subspace EMISSARY, not quite the same thing.
  • Snuff99, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Where the f*ck is Capt. Falcon. If he's not in the game I'm not buying it! Who am I kidding, but I'd be pissed.
    • shanal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10You know he will be, they have an assist trophy from F-zero even
      • Konstantino, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4While I don't doubt that Captain Falcon will be in Brawl, having an assist trophy from that series doesn't mean much. Devil from Devil World is an assist trophy, as is a Nintendog. I seriously doubt characters from either of those games will be main characters in Brawl.
    • spiffyfitz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Falcon date-rape!
  • kiiwii, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Is it just me, or do the enemies in the 3rd pic down look like the heartless from Kingdom Hearts?
  • Apokalyps2547, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Subspace, you say?! Where's Captain Picard when you need him?
  • ElwinRansom, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2They really need to flesh this info out, I didn't really get anything out of this update at all.

    It'd be nice to know how the level progression works, is it going to be gay like SSBM's Adventure mode? Or something quick and dirty like Tekken Force (I think this is really likely, a few stages where you defuse those bombs, maybe a "boss" fight (aka regular match).
    • bwishey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2This is why you buy the game and play it.
      Why play if you already know every single eetsy bitsy thing about the game? This is why I hate these updates, because I want to enjoy everything the game has to offer when I get it.... But with such a treasure trove of updates I can't look away. Help :(
  • Luthor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Modern day appearance of R.O.B.? So buying this game.
    • mercano, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6He's also the last unlockable driver in Mario Kart DS, with a car that looks like a Stackup setup.
    • NeoCortex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I hope that R.O.B. takes the place of Mr. Game and Watch as the relatively obscure throwback character.
  • Okitaz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1"I literally cannot wait."
  • adamstributer, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1dugg b/c your avatar looks...erm...familiar...
  • Shippwreck87, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5All the more reason why I need to freeze myself until the release date...
  • X9001, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1The look kinda like heartless
    • seneyr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Glad to know I'm not the only one. Not that it's a bad thing....
  • spiffyfitz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3All of the changes in the game make me so excited.

    This game is turning me into a giddy schoolgirl with every update.
  • JayRD, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1A nintendo game with Mario in it... that looks BADASS?! This is awesome!
  • YoHenYo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1......it look likes it all up to ..!KIRBY!
    Meta Knight is from Kirby's series, and that looks a lot like his ship.....So does this mean that this is just Kirby's version of the story? Will each character have a different version of the single player mode?

    So many questions! Ahhhh I can't wait!
  • HotDogBun, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1Buried as lame, like all SSB/Nintendo/Mario type stories.

    Keep posting them, and i'll keep burying them. You kids should be focused on your homework now.
  • diggymow, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1You sad fool, this game looks awesome. I've got the page updates coming to my via rss can't wait.
