Yeah. All hail Kirby! Without this little pink puffball, Brawl would've been way different! Why do I say this? Well, you have to play the Kirby Series to know what I'm talking about.

First of all, the most obvious part, the menu. If you have played Kirby Air Ride recently, you will noticed that the menus look alike in some manner. The background, how it looks, and even how the music sounds like (Menu 1 in Brawl.) Of course, this is only a small part.

Next on topic, the Subspace Emissary. You should know that in Kirby Super Star, there was a mode called "Revenge of Meta Knight." Most of the puzzles in SSE, especially "The Ruins", came from that mode. The only drawback is that "Revenge of Meta Knight" had a time limit while SSE didn't.

And the plot of SSE, Tabuu tries to take over the fighters' world by indirectly using important people to his command. By using Master Hand by his will, he was able to bring the fighters to him and defeat them. In the end, they defeated Tabuu, and destroyed Subspace once and for all. However, this came at a high price, if one Subspace bomb could cover a huge area and destroy the place, imagine a hundred bombs going all at once. The Island of Ancients is huge and was the place where they held the bombs. Once the bombs set off, the island was gone. Since Subspace is gone, you would think that the island would come back like the other places. You're wrong. The effect of one bomb is disastrous enough. Imagine 100 bombs going off. That would be a huge problem. However, the island could've came back but in a less humane form. (Plot from Dojo, I just put more/less info. XD )

Now compare that plot with "Milkyway Wishes" in Kirby Super Star. In the peaceful planet of Popstat, everyone was living their lives happily and cheerfully. Untiln one day, the Sun and Moon began to fight. This caused an unbalance of day and night in Popstar. Kirby, one of denizens of Popstar, decided to end this problem by getting the help of Nova, the probable machine ruler of the galaxy, to grant a wish. But first, Kirby must harness the power of the 7 stars to be able to grant the wish. After gaining the power, Kirby appears before Nova to grant the wish. Suddenly, Marx pushed Kirby away and went to Nova to grant his own wish, to rule Popstar. His wish was granted and went from a powerless being, to a powerful ruler. Before the Clash between the Sun and Moon Vs. Nova, Marx stated that it was he who made the Sun and Moon fight and that his plan is going smoothly. Before Nova could reach Popstar, the Sun and Moon realized that Nova was going to rule Popstar. The two banded together and tried to push Nova back. Meanwhile, our pink puffball went inside Nova's body and destroyed his heart, this halted Nova but didn't stop Marx. Kirby and Marx fought a fierce battle and used his new powers to cause destruction to Kirby. In the end, Kirby defeated Marx and entirely destroyed Nova. The Sun and Moon forgave each other and balance was soon restored in Popstar.

See a similarity? The main antagonists used important people to their own use. Tabuu controlling Master Hand and Marx using Nova. Both of them planned their evil plans and set them without anyone knowing who they are. In Brawl, they thought it was the Ancient Minister planning everything out. However, nobody knew what caused the Sun and Moon to fight in the first place. Nearing the end of the game, the protaginists finally knew the true enemy and had a great battle with them. The main antagonists were defeated and balance came again but with a few drawbacks. In Brawl, the Island of Ancients was back but didn't come back in its true form. In Kirby Super Star, Nova was entirely destroyed.

Now when fighting these two. Both of them teleport from place to move around. Both share an almost similar set of moves. One move in particular is the laser. They charge up and release a devastating laser that does a lot of damage. Although, they may have different moves, both Tabuu's and Marx's moves have the same effect. Tabuu has a pinpoint explosions signaling where it's gonna explode. Marx drops Vine Seeds and grows on where it landed. Same goes when Tabuu does those scratches, Marx appears on the side and continually shoots arrows rapidly. And finally, Tabuu's Off Waves is his most powerful move, same goes when Marx splits apart and sucks Kirby in a black hole. Both of these has the potential to kill in one hit.

Ahh... HAL Laboratory, you're so clever when making Brawl. Using Kirby's previous games and their elements and cleverly disguising them with other elements. That's pure genius. And that's what made Brawl such a fantastic game. Using both HAL Laboratory's and Nintendo's genius, they were able to make one of Nintendo's best games ever. All hail Nintendo and HAL Laboratory!! *Bows down.* And all hail Kirby and his puffiness! *Bows down.*
