Nintendo Wii Media | Smash Update: Sticker Power-ups

To aid battles against the Subspace Emissary, the Smash Bros. Brawl website concludes this week's updates by allowing for stickers to enhance your battle.

Your battle against the Subspace Emissary will one of epic fury. Naturally you're going to want to do everything you can to strengthen each character for the fight ahead.

And that's where stickers come into the picture!

These should do the trick. Did you think those stickers were just for collecting? Well, it seems you thought wrong! The truth is startling, huh?

Each sticker houses a special power up. For example, some up your attack power, others bolster the damage from fire-based attacks, and some even keep you from flying as far when you take a hit.

You can find the details of each sticker's power-up ability here. On the Map screen, select the Sticker option to move to the sticker-application screen. You can switch between characters with the L and R Buttons.

Here's a shot of the underside of a trophy base.

Now slap down one of the sticky stickers you've collected. Generally speaking, the bigger the sticker, the more dramatic the power up.

The more stickers you put on a trophy base, the more powerful that character becomes, but you'll need to consider your placement and sticker choices carefully as space is limited.

Fill in those bare spots with little stickers... Leave no space unused!

When two stickers offering a similar power up are placed on a trophy base, only the more potent of the two power ups will take effect.

So, for example, if you had [Leg] Attack +4 and [Leg] Attack +6 stickers on the same trophy base, the added [Leg] Attack bonus wouldn't be +10
