Project M

''Project M'' is a 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.'' (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, 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 of reworking Falco Lombardi to mechanically play like he did in ''Melee'' and increasing the accessibility of the gameplay style, but the project quickly evolved to a full-scale reworking of ''Brawl''. The game's first demo build was released on February 7, 2011, and development continued until December 1, 2015, when the PMDT announced it would cease further development of ''Project M''. The game has received positive comments from reviewers, amassed a player base of over 500,000, surpassed three million downloads, and been played in many professional tournaments.
