Snake[]
Snake appears as a new unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and one of the only two third-party playable characters in the game. His look is based on his sneaking suit from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. He is unlocked after playing 130 Vs. matches, play 15 matches on Shadow Moses Island stage, or have Snake join the team in Subspace Emissary. Despite being a super heavyweight, he has the shortest crawl in the game to avoid many attacks, his good use of explosives allow him to camp well, and his down throw — Silent Takedown — can deal lots of damage through combo throws if the player can read the opponent’s movements.
He enters the stage by standing up from a crouch as his camouflage malfunctions. This references the opening scene in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty when Snake is using stealth camouflage and he does a freefall jump onto a ship. The impact from the landing causes the stealth camouflage to malfunction. Snake also sometimes says, "Kept you waiting, huh?", which is what Snake said to Otacon after the freefall jump. His only taunt involves him hiding in a cardboard box, which references how he sneaks through enemy territory in the games.
Special attacks:
- Neutral - Hard Grenade: Snake pulls out a grenade and unzips it. He can hold it for 3 seconds and it can be thrown at any direction up to two grenades at a time. Hard grenades have been common offensive weapons since Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.
- Side - Remote Controlled Missile: Snake takes out a Nikita and fires a remote missile. The missile can be controlled with the control stick and cancelled with the shield button. The RCM is a weapon that has been used ever since the first Metal Gear game.
- Up - Cypher: Snake grabs onto a Cypher, which helps with recovery. The Cypher can also deal minor damage when someone touches it. Although Snake has not done this activity in the games, it shows his resourcefulness that isn’t out of place in Metal Gear games. The Cypher itself is a flying reconnaissance camera that has been used since Metal Gear Solid 2 when patrolling Big Shell.
- Down - C4: Snake plants the C4 either on the ground, an opponent, or even the air if he’s on mid-air. Within 26 2/3 he can detonate the bomb anytime he wants after doing the move a second time. It can also act as a Gooey Bomb whenever Snake picks it up. There is also a 1 in 6 chance Snake uses the C3, which is shaped like a butterfly. The C4 is a recurring weapon in the Metal Gear games, and it’s required to beat the games. C3 is used in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater by Naked Snake to take out one of the Shagohod’s liquid fuel tanks.
- Final Smash - Grenade Launcher: Snakes yells “It’s showtime!” and leaps off the stage. He reappears on a ladder below a helicopter in the foreground. He can fire up to twelve grenades (two loads of six) from the grenade launcher at any opponent before time runs out. Both the launcher model being attached to the rifle and the event of the Final Smash seem to take place in Metal Gear Solid 2, when Snake shoots grenades at a Harrier jet controlled by Solidus Snake and Vamp from the passenger area of a Kasatka helicopter.
Most of the palette seems to be based on different camouflages in Metal Gear Solid 3:
- Grey: (default)
- Red: Fire camouflage
- Blue: Splitter camouflage
- White: While the design may be based on the AUSCAM Desert camouflage, the main color may be the Snow camouflage.
- Green: Tiger Stripe camouflage
- Brown: Animal camouflage
Shadow Moses Island[]
The only Metal Gear stage in the game. It seems to be based off of the helipad sector of one of the first areas Snakes ventures through in Metal Gear Solid.
The stage features two floors with a platform connected by each watchtower from the left and right side separately that is closer to the center of the stage. The watchtower is so high up that not many players can go over one independently and it blocks players from KOs towards the left or right side of screen depending the tower. These towers can be destroyed depending on where they are heavily damage. While destroying the top section of the tower doesn’t affect the bottom, the bottom section will collapse the entire tower, including the platforms held by the tower. The towers rebuild themselves after a minute or two of when one of them is completely destroyed, and players that stand on the spot where the tower is repairing will rise upwards with the tower.
The stage also features spotlights on the walls. Once a fighter touches a spotlight, it shows an exclamation point with the iconic “Discovery” sound. Although this does not affect the fighters, there are three possible type of robots that will happen in the background: a Metal Gear RAY, a Metal Gear REX, or two GEKKOs (which is the closest to try to interacting the stage). All these robots would destroy the background to show a dark red abyss in the background, but the wall eventually repairs itself.
This stage features an Easter Egg where if the player is playing as Snake, he can receive special conversations in the style of Codecs, featuring Otacon, Mei Ling, and Colonel Campbell. Once he does a taunt, one of these responders will reveal a piece of information the character Snake is fighting against, including himself. The only exception is with Falco, in which Slippy Toad takes over the Codec. When Snake gets KO’ed, the receiver worries about Snake and gives the infamous “SNAAAAAKE!” game over shout. For more information on the Codecs, see here.
Gray Fox[]
Snake’s former comrade, Gray Fox, appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He moves quickly around the stage and swings his sword. His sword is able to reflect project heading towards him. He can also teleport to the top of the stage.
Trophies[]
There are 11 trophies in the game. 2 character trophies, 1 Assist Trophy, and 8 series related trophies.

Music tracks[]
The game features 10 music tracks, all new to the game, and are all playable in the Shadow Moses Island stage.
Metal Gear category[]
- MGS4 ~Theme of Love~ Smash Bros. Brawl Version - A fast-paced version of the Love Theme from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots made for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The arrangement was handled by staff from Konami's Metal Gear sound team.
- Encounter - A remix of the song from Metal Gear Solid when Snake is spotted by an enemy.
- Theme of Tara - A completely redone version of the Theme of Tara from the very first Metal Gear game for the MSX2. For people familiar with Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions, this is the theme played when Snake is on a VR Mission in the game. It reappears in Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, as another VR Mission theme for secret character MGS1 Snake.
- Battle in The Base - Taken directly from the PS2 game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, this was the music track that played when Naked Snake was spotted by an enemy while indoors.
- Yell "Dead Cell" - Taken directly from the PS2 game Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, this was the song that was used during the boss battles with Vamp, Fortune, and Fatman, who are part of the Dead Cell unit.
- Cavern - Also taken directly from a title, this was the cavern background music in Metal Gear Solid.
- Calling to the Night - The vocal theme song of the PSP game and direct sequel to Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater- Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. It is taken directly from said game. This song also plays during Snake's Classic Mode credits.
Unlockable tracks:
- Snake Eater (Instrumental) - An instrumental version of the main theme to Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, this track is also taken directly from said game. This track is unlocked by playing 15 Vs. Matches on the Shadow Moses Island stage.
- Theme of Solid Snake - Taken directly from the MSX2 game Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, the second game in the series, this was the title screen theme to said game.
Sound effects[]
- Metal Gear Victory - Snake's victory theme is a short sample from the main theme of Metal Gear Solid. It was used when the player would complete a VR Mission in said game, but is better remembered for its use as the Game Over theme.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]
December 7, 2018
Metal Gear
Super Smash Bros.
Metal Gear elements confirmed so far in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are:
- 1 playable character (Snake)
- 1 stage (Shadow Moses Island)
- 1 Assist Trophy (Gray Fox)
- 26 Spirits
- 11 music tracks
Snake[]
Snake returns from Super Smash Bros. Brawl and he's once again an unlockable character for not being one of the eight starting characters from the original Super Smash Bros. and the only character in the Metal Gear games.
Like all other unlockable characters, he can be unlocked by either having him join the party in World of Light, playing enough VS matches, or clearing Classic mode with specific characters. Specifically, Snake is the 39th character unlocked playing VS Matches, and the fifth in Link's Classic Mode unlock tree.
His moveset is unchanged for the most part, but he gets a new Final Smash replacing Grenade Launcher, Covering Fire. Snake will toss a flare grenade before crouching and putting his hand up to his ear, which will cause a crosshair to appear onscreen. The player can guide this crosshair to lock on to opponents, and, after a brief moment, rockets will launch from the foreground and attack the targeted players. If no player was targeted, the missles will aim where the crosshair is last positioned. This is based on the tactic in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain where Snake throws a flare grenade to summon UTH-66 Blackfoot tactical helicopter equipped with AS missiles that lock onto enemies.
He also gets a new victory pose referencing Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots when Old Snake fights Liquid Ocelot. It replaces the cardboard box victory pose from Brawl.
In the Boxing Ring stage, he is referred to as “The Legendary Mercenary”, referencing a title given to both Solid Snake and Big Boss to fit with the hybrid appearance in his Smash design.
His appearance was slightly updated to be more detailed, bearing more resemblance to Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection. He keeps the same six alternate outfits from Brawl and he has two new outfits: a Black outfit resembling the Metal camouflage in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and a new Chartreuse outfit resembling his Leaf camouflage in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
Snake's Classic Mode is called "Weapons and Equipment OSP", and all opponents use projectile weapons. Additionally, all the items that spawn are either projectile weapons or explosives, to go with the theme of the route. OSP stands for On-Site Procurement, which is the condition for many of Snake's missions in the series. The final boss is a fight against Galleom, which fits the reference of it using projectile weapons and that it resembles a Metal Gear, a form of a bipedal tank.
Shadow Moses Island[]
Shadow Moses Island returns basically unchanged in Ultimate. In fact, the codec conversations only seem applicable to fighters who have appeared in Brawl and not updated for other fighters.
Gray Fox[]
Gray Fox returns as the only Metal Gear Assist Trophy in the game and acts the same way as he did in Brawl, but he now can be damaged by opponents. He also seems to be able to reflect projectiles without the need of swinging his sword.
Spirits[]
The game features 26 spirits from the Metal Gear series. Most of them are unlockable in Spirits mode, either in Adventure Mode or the Spirits Board, where the player must win in a fight with specific conditions, simulating a fight against the spirit's character.
Alternative unlock criteria are indicated when available.
Most spirits can also be obtained as random rewards or by purchasing them from the in-game shop; this is only listed when it's the only way to unlock the spirit.
Fighter Spirits usually come in two alternative artworks, one based on artwork from the character's original series, and the artwork from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate itself; only the original series artwork is shown here.
