Fans had decried Brawl's petulant backsteps in game design, but Project M fixed glitches, removed such awful design choices as random tripping and input delay, upped the gameplay speed, re-balanced the characters, and threw in a boatload of new characters and stages to boot. Brawl modding before it, thanks to an easily exploitable glitch in the game's Stage Builder function, but PM, which had started out as just a modification of the Falco character, was something entirely new. There had been traces of Super Smash Bros.
On February 7, 2011, a miracle occurred Project M came to the world.
While not everyone would word this in the jargon I provide, the true masters of modding have that intuition to expand a concept without breaching its identity, and among the most elite of these coding kings can be found in the modding community for Super Smash Bros. There are limits on how much one can adjust film or text or canvas while still being faithful to tone and aesthetics, much less the overall identity of that work as a whole, but game modification, while extremely difficult in its own right, allows for endless possibilities of changing and expanding the gameplay, setting, and other aspects of X game while still being fundamentally X game. We take that aspect of a video game for granted: it is code, and like all codes, it can be tinkered with by someone with the right tools.
One can rewrite a book, re-edit a film, remix a song, re-paint a painting, and so on, yet video games are unique in how they can be re-coded to achieve any number of aims. Of all mediums of art, video games have some of the most apparent and flexible ways of being consumed, particularly in how consumption of video games can be modified. Brawl companion article, as well as the reviews for Smash 64 and Melee for context, if you wish. IMPORTANT! Be sure to check out this review's Super Smash Bros. How mods redeemed a game and perhaps a landmark series as a whole, creating good memories and bringing communities together all the while.
