What's this?
This is the latest version of the popular mod for Super Smash Bros. Brawl called Project M, meant to make Brawl more like Melee while also making some other fun changes.
Version 3.0 adds in all remaining characters from Brawl that were missing in the last version, with the addition of Mewtwo and Roy, who have been carefully programmed and animated by the community to bring them into the game from Melee. This version also adds a new game mode dubbed Turbo Mode as well as alternate costumes for some characters.
Why this thread?
Project M 3.0 is a big milestone for what is easily the biggest and most impressive modding project for Brawl and for the enthusiast Smash Bros. scene.
This thread is here for people to discuss the mod release and to post impressions. Please act civilized towards one another, Smash Bros. is to be shared.

More like Melee means:
- No tripping
- Faster gameplay and more responsive controls
- No insta-kill stage hazards
- If you wanna play competetively, wave dashing is possible
- They also altered some characters' movesets to make them more fun/interesting to play as (Examples: Zelda can place fireballs like mines in the air, Samus can switch beam types, Pokemon Trainer is now three separate characters with more individual flair)
Playing competetively? Doesn't that mean this mod is no fun?
I take it you don't play video games. This mod is perfectly fine to play non-competetively. Yes, it is closer to Melee than Brawl, and Melee was a super fun party game enjoyed by millions. Also, this mod now has more characters than Brawl, which is the usual metric of fun for Smash Bros.
Mods are illegal! Nintendo will C&D this!
Yes, this can be a problem. If they actually do it. Which they haven't done for any of the gazillions of legal Brawl mods out there. The Project M team has been very careful to not include any characters new to SSB4 or indeed any characters that were not in Melee/Brawl, so as to not compete directly with Nintendo.
I don't want to brick my Wii.
You won't run any risk of that. Brawl modding does not make any permanent modification to your console. Here's what the official instructions say:

What is Turbo Mode?
They added a mode for 3.0 called Turbo Mode where you can do any move at any time(!). It looks like it is patently insane (and fun). Here's a video of Turbo Mode that also showcases some alternate costumes.
I don't like the stage/music selection.
The cool thing about Brawl modding is that if you don't like a thing, you can just switch it out (which is basically what Project M does to the entire game). Changing stages and music is as easy as replacing files on an SD card.
Where and how do I get this?
