Project M is a
mod of the 2008
Wii fighting video game Super Smash Bros. Brawl, created by the community group known as the Project M Development Team (PMDT or PMDev Team; previously known as the Project M Back Room). It is designed to retool
Brawl to play more like its two predecessors,
Super Smash Bros. (1999) and
Super Smash Bros. Melee (2001), in response to fan objections to
Brawls physics, slower-paced gameplay, larger use of chance elements, and mechanics of certain attacks.
Project M also brings back the characters
Mewtwo and
Roy, who were present in
Melee but did not return for
Brawl. 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 extensions of other ones in
Brawl.
