Cash in your Coins, Launch the Loot!

[Mic_128]

<p align="center">So you’ve been playing Brawl for a while, and at the end of every match you’ve earned some coins. What do you use them for? Well just like Melee they’re used to get Trophies, but in Brawl you can also get stickers with them too. So, how do you actually do it? Well unlike Melee, there’s no random lottery machine you just put coins in, oh no.</p>

<p align="center">That was fine and all, but I got to thinking that there really wasn’t any strategy involved. So this time, I dropped it. Instead, you’ll be getting your trophies in THIS kind of game!</p>

<p align="center">It’s the coin launcher and it’s like a mini space invaders style game.</p>
<p align="center">You tilt left and right and shoot coins at the enemies. That’s right, the coins you just worked your butt off to earn, you’re shooting them away. At least there’s cool explosions. </p>
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/various20_071227d-l.jpg" alt="Where's Pacman?" /></p>
<p align="center">Anyway, as you can see, there’s mini enemies and a trophy floating around. Blw up the guys blocking the trophy and hit it with coins to make it yours.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/various20_071227e-l.jpg" alt="Trophy get!" /></p>
<p align="center">The more little guys you blow up earns you stickers and “other bonuses”</p>
<p align="center">Also, watch out for misiles. Blow em up obviously.</p>

<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/various20_071227h-l.jpg" alt="Auuugh! Should have done a barrel roll." /></p>
<p align="center">When you quit, you get a list of what you’ve earned.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/various20_071227i-l.jpg" alt="Trophies CONFIRMEDZ!" /></p>
<p align="center">Can’t forget, all this is under The Vault.</p>

WOOOT first comment, yeah this mode looks pretty sick, i mean its a cool minigame and cirtanly a lot more interesting than the vending machine before.

7.5/10 for this mode...lets hope its fun to play

 

[quithas]

Neat

I love this idea its gonna be an awesome way to get tropihies. Dam Mr Sakurai keeps adding more and moe stuff to this game. I cant wait to see what all is in this game. I swear this is gonna take up alot of my time and might be the last game I ever play cause its gonna take up alot of my time lol.

 

[SmashWolf]

......how will they ever improve the next Smash Bros over this?

 

[Crystallion]

......how will they ever improve the next Smash Bros over this?

QFT.
All I can say is that it's a great idea. Seriously. I liked the lottery, but I think I prefer strategy over luck. I give it a 10 out of 10.

 

[Dry Bones]

ahh... so THATS what the vault is...

 

[quithas]

Last

I think the reason for this game being so Massie is that so people can play it a long time. The other reason I think is because this might very well be the las Smash game Sakurai does so he wants to go out with a bang. Plus he was rushed when he did melee he didnt get tyo do alot of stuff he wanted to so this time he does. Im hoping this wont be the last Smahs game from Sakurai but Im betting it might be. If it is I will make sure I enjoy this game forever.

Trophys & Stickers in the update today.

There have been much arguments and questions which trophys and stickers were shown in the update today and who they are.

I think it would be nice to make a summary of all trophys and stickers shown today.

I start with the first picture:

There were three things shown:

1) Fiery Blowhog - Pikmin - trophy

(Picture taken by IsmaR)
People were arguing this is a Chao from the Sonic series.

I think it's clearly a Fiery Blowhog standing on two legs (he make this before spying fire). A regular enemy of the Pikmin series.

2) Sir Kibble - Kirby - trophy

That's Sir Kibble. A regular enemy of the Kirby series. (But he can also be a party member)

3) Boxy - Kirby - sticker
Boxy is a boss in the Kirby series.

Next two pictures:

4) Chain Chomp - Mario - trophy
It's clearly a Chain Chop from the Mario series.
I hope that reach for information...

5) Zoda - F-Zero - trophy
Don't know much about him, but he looks like he would be naked >_>

6) Phantom Ganon - Zelda - sticker
First boss for adult Link in OoT. Most of us know him

7) Rabbit ears (how is it called oO) - Zelda - trophy
Item from Melee/Brawl

8) Bow - Zelda or Kid Icarus - sticker
Ignore number one and look on the sticker. It's a bow....

9) Tortimer - Animal Crossing - trophy
He is the mayor of every town in AC.

10) R.O.B. - StarFox - trophy

It's the most likely choice for this trophy.

11) Dragoon - Kirby (Air Ride) - trophy
It seems to be Dragoon. A legendary ride from Kirby Air Ride.

Jambre discovered this. Thank you!

12) Phyllis&Pelly - Animal Crossing - trophy
They are working in the city hall. It's clear they are Peggy and Pelly.

The last picture

13) Medli - Zelda (WindWaker) -trophy
She is one of the more important characters from WindWaker.
I'm too lazy to write about her now, sry.

14) Tortimer - Animal Crossing - trophy
Look at 9

15) Bob-omb - Mario - trophy
I hope everybody knows this item from Melee/Brawl/SSB64.

16) TP-Link - Zelda (TP) - sticker
....

17) Mach Rider - Mach Rider - sticker
He is a driver from a futuristic driving video game.

18) Dr. Shrunk - Animal Crossing - sticker
He's teaching you mimic in Animal Crossing. You can identify him. Nintendo was too lazy and they are taking normal artwork for stickers.
It's this one:

____
I hope this was neccesary and helped a lot.
Still need help for the trophys/stickers I couldn't recognize.

Maggirus

 

[The Noob Legend]

That's the general idea of it, play the game forever.
Who won't anyways?

This mode is a total improvement of the lottery.

I sure hope that everything Sakurai says is lived up to on Feb 10.

 

[Mysteryfox1]

I thought number one was a cucoo from the legend of zelda series

 

[Maggirus]

You've copied my thread here in? ...
It's OK.

I still need ideas for the other trophies/stickers.
___

Well, I love this idea. It's better than the old boring lottery.
I think this update gives us a clue how much trophies we will see in Brawl.

It seems like we will get a trophy from every special AC character in Brawl. In Melee we had three AC trophies (Resetti, K.K. Slider and Tom Nook)

Zoda, is also a trophy. I don't know how important he is, but if he made it as a trophy, we will se sure a lot of F-Zero trophies.

We had about ~300 trophies in Melee. So how much we will have in Brawl?

Maggirus

EDIT:

I thought number one was a cucoo from the legend of zelda series

Of course it could be something else as this one Pikmin enemy.

But I can see him very clearly.

 

[Chi's Finest]

I really wish that Phantom Ganon Sticker was a trophy.

 

[jambre]

number 11 is one of the legendary rides from kirby air ride, i think its called dragoon

 

[Maggirus]

number 11 is one of the legendary rides from kirby air ride, i think its called dragoon

Thank you, I'm going to add him.

 

[Uchiha.Sanosuke]

Maggirus, very nice job picking up the trophies. ^_^

I love this update, I really do. Sakurai inserts yet another fun game into a game that is already amazing.

Whoo!

Oh, and another thing, right underneath the Peggy and Polly trophy there is a Hero's Bow sticker. Doesn't really stick out in the exciting picture, but it's there.

 

[Eagle]

Good job Maggirus.

Anyways, this new mode sounds neat. ^^

 

[Pieman0920]

Zoda as a trophy is pretty darn obscure...hope we get Bio Rex. >.>

Anyways, nice work Maggirus. I'm pretty sure that's the fire enemy from Pikmin as well. Those two trophies with Tortimer though I can't figure out for the life of me. The human one looks like it'd be someone from MGS though.

 

[Aeronite's Kiseki]

Number 3 on the first picture is Boxii from Kirby and the Amazing Mirror/Squeak Squad, he gave you the "Magic" ability....wow adding a newer boss seems strange...here's for Master Hand/Crazy Hand for Trophies but have them come from Kirby's series

 

[Arrow]

The humanoid trophy looks a little bit like Rob from Starfox, imo.

 

[Pieman0920]

Looking at it, this seems to be right. They really do seem to match up, don't they?

But I'm not so sure that the unknown sticker is Jill. There doesn't seem to be any art that correctly matches up. >_>

 

[Feryx]

anyone else notice that that menu screen is a subsection of the Vault?

I'm guessing there's another section for snapshots and replays, and one for custom stages.

Yea i looked at it close and changed it...It's Boxii from the Kirby series


BTW Maggirus...you forgot one sticker next to Peggy & Pelly...I think thats Link's Bow & Arrow but i can't be 100% sure

 

[Storm Eagle]

It looks like a pretty good week for updates so far. Let's hope that tomorrows update will not be a "How to play" one...

 

[Maggirus]

It could be. but it looks a little bit different.
The color isn't fitting that well...

Number 3 on the first picture is Boxii from Kirby and the Amazing Mirror/Squeak Squad, he gave you the "Magic" ability....wow adding a newer boss seems strange...here's for Master Hand/Crazy Hand for Trophies but have them come from Kirby's series

Wow! Nice hint. I remember that boss.
I only need a picture to compare.

Maggirus

I forgot this one... >_>
Thank you for remembering me.

It could be also this one.

The icon of Kid Icarus.

 

[Umandsf]

Hey, I like these latest updates. They're very interesting. Can't wait to waste my coins...not that I'm going to feel like I'm wasting them, but it gives you more incentive to play.

 

[Crystallion]

It could be. but it looks a little bit different.
The color isn't fitting that well...

Hm, this looks also like the mummies/Gibdos from LoZ: Twilight Princess. Maybe? Haven't got a picture for reference, though

 

[Aeronite's Kiseki]

Wow! Nice hint. I remember that boss.
I only need a picture to compare.

Well. I went to Kirby's Rainbow Resort to check if it was right def is....oh yea it's "Boxy" so yea all i find our gif's which im not good at transferring lol

 

[The Noob Legend]

Dragoon was so fun on multiplayer in Kirby Air Ride.

Glad it's a trophy!

 

[Maggirus]

Well. I went to Kirby's Rainbow Resort to check if it was right def is....oh yea it's "Boxy" so yea all i find our gif's which im not good at transferring lol

Yes, it's Boxy. A remodelled one. It has a green tail and a red bow.

I'm sure it is.
Found a picture. It's Boxy for sure.

Maggirus

 

[NukeA6]

Wow! Seeing this, I wonder how they'll make the credits.

Coin Launch is like Missile Command and Space Invaders (which are both classic games I like) put together. I wonder if there's a bonus similar to Tetris or Panel de Pon.

 

[Illyasvel]

It could be. but it looks a little bit different.
The color isn't fitting that well...

It's the same, look at the chest, the eyes, everything... just the illumination (spelling) on the board.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

The lottery did require you to pay more coins to increase the odds of getting a new trophy. Shame that it's gone.

Anyway, the coin launcher game does look interesting. Of course, you might be using more coins than you did with Melee's lottery.

 

[Mic_128]

You've copied my thread here in? ...
It's OK.

I figured it'd be better to do that then to close it and make you retype it all out here

 

[Bli33ard]

I can see walkthroughs on IGN on "How to get Trophies the easy way", let alone the SSE, Classic, character profiles, Stage Builder, Wifi....

 

[Maggirus]

It's the same, look at the chest, the eyes, everything... just the illumination (spelling) on the board.

You're right. After you say this I see what you think.

The body is the same, there is something red near the eyes. That's proof enough. The color isn't exactly, but it's similar.

Thank you

Maggirus

EDIT: There's also something blue near the breast. I'm sure it's the right trophy.

 

[Xane]

Ah.. I'd like to code a minigame like that to "train" for this.
But since it's release isn't that far .. dunno if it's worth the time.

I really like the general idea of making everything fun.. even collecting stuff.
Something I wonder is.. if you keep repeating this mode to get new trophies/stickers.. how are you gonna do that?
It's completely random which trophy/sticker spawns.. so when you're bad of luck, you might just invest ~400 Coins for trophies/stickers you already have. :x
In lottery, at least you knew the chance of getting a new trophy tho~

 

[Kittah4]

Haha, this mode is great; it really put a smile on my face, being a fan of "shmups". This will add to the feeling of tension while trying to get trophies. Since he already showed us trophy stands will be random, its nice to have a mode where it will be a little less random.

This does have me curious as to the credits mini-game, though.

Hm, the Japanese site has exactly the same trophies and everything. Haha, looks like GET vs GOT IT for english is returning. GET is just so much more dynamic.

 

[espio87]

i like this mode. it takes out the randomness and boredness(if thats a word) of the coin slot from melee. and like they said previously, this game has so much stuff that it looks like it could be the last. let's hope we're wrong

 

[maxpower1227]

I NEED THIS GAME

I'm very satisfied with my birthday update. This mode looks MUCH better than a simple lottery.

 

[d0c926]

This mode already look better than the lottery
