Lots of games take that kind of devotion (or obsession) to get into, but not Smash Bros. You don't have to spend all your time unlocking stuff to be equal to your fellow brawlers, and you can play once in a blue moon (like me) and still enjoy brawling with the people who practically worship the game...

It still never ceases to amaze me just how complex and huge Smash Brothers Brawl is. After playing for an entire year I still haven't even come close to completing the game. There are still hundreds of trophies I haven't earned, and even more music and levels I have yet to unlock. I have barely...

Clear All Star Mode on Hard and unlock a trophy of Birdo, the pink, egg-spitting Mario Bros. 2 villain that everyone really hates by her 20 millionth boss fight appearance.

Hit 30,000 ft. combined with all fighters' home-run records and win a trophy of a red Shy Guy as seen in Super Mario Bros. 2 and Yoshi's Island DS. Trophy type: fighter related

Win a trophy of a strange banana alien from DK Jungle Climber by hitting 24,000 ft. combined with all fighters' home-run records. Trophy type: enemy

Clear 100-man Brawl to win a trophy of a Pitfall, an item from Animal Crossing: Wild World that is buried and used to trap whoever is unfortunate enough to step on it.

Win this trophy of Diddy Kong's jet pack by beating Target Smash level 4. This Target smash is actually pretty hard to beat in a good time because the level is made entirely of ice and because many of the targets move around the level, but since you don't need to set a speed record to win this...
