Project M
''Project M'' is a mod (video gaming), mod of the 2008 fighting game ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' for the Wii, created by the community group known as the Project M Development Team (PMDT; previously known as the Project M Back Room). It is designed to retool ''Brawl'' to play more like its two predecessors, ''Super Smash Bros. (video game), Super Smash Bros.'' (1999) and ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' (2001), in response to fan objections to ''Brawl''s physics, slower-paced gameplay, larger use of chance elements, and mechanics of certain attacks. ''Project M'' reintroduces Dr. Mario (although as a palette swap of Mario), Mewtwo, and Roy (Fire Emblem), Roy, who were present in ''Melee'' but were cut from ''Brawl'' due to time constraints. In addition, it features a new art style for in-game menus and allows players to choose certain characters individually when they are only accessible as transformations of other ones in ''Brawl''. Development started in early 2010 with the goals ...
