Today's update revealed a machine from the game Kirby's Air Ride called the "Dragoon".

You know what's weird about tonight's update?

So you've been playing Brawl for a while, and at the end of every match you've earned some coins. What do you use them for? Well just like Melee they're used to get Trophies, but in Brawl you can also get stickers with them too. So, how do you actually do it? Well unlike Melee, there's no random lottery machine you just put coins in, oh no.

Brawl made a showing at JumpFesta in Japan a few days ago, but apparently the demo wasn't the same one that was at E for All. How different was it? Well, our own Kokichi got to play it himself. Here are some highlights from Kokichi's impressions:

• Wario and Kirby replaced Donkey Kong and Sonic in the character select screen.
• The Summit, WarioWare, and Melee Temple stages were playable.
• Wall jumping is in (as seen through Diddy on Temple).
• WarioWare stage has a reward and a punishment system depending on one’s performance though the minigames.
• Wario’s remaining two special moves are Bite (Neutral) and “Wario Spin” (Up).
• Wario’s bike (after ditching it) can be repeatedly thrown and eventually broken, resulting in even more items to throw.
• Kirby is potentially better than he was in Melee.
• The items that come from Kirby's Final Smash might only be obtainable by Kirby himself.
• New videos were shown; they may possibly be shown later on the Dojo.

So new information has surfaced about Brawl's Subspace Emissary Adventure, but at the same time he also clued us in how trophies in this game will work. With the setup Sakurai has going, Smash players of all kinds will be itching to replay this mode again and again.

An interesting new rumor started floating around the Brawl rooms yesterday. Thanks this simple picture of the Smash Bros logo, followed by NOW PRINTING, our assumption-filled audience assumes, and rightfully so, that it means that Brawl has gone gold.

For those of you that don't know, the term "Going Gold" means that the game is done, and undergoing mass production. If the rumor is true, this confirms that there won't be any more delays.

But how reliable is a simple picture?

Ho ho ho! This Japan Time Time may be a little late, but rest assured, Smash fans, that it makes up for it by doubling up on the holiday cheer! And by this I mean that the rains of blood that would normally plague your lands as the update hits the blog have been replaced by a red and alarmingly salty snow.

This week, we'll be having a very merry Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Atheist-Stare-At-Walls-Day, as we discover events to be played with the power of friendship, awkwardly try to dodge major Mother 3 spoilers, and realize that maybe Kirby should eat Squirtle more often, because duuuude! Stay tuned, folks, for an all-new Japan Time Time begins right after this image!

On more fantastic stages, it is Christmas every day of the year.

Kind of fitting to get music from "Angel" Island on Christmas, no? Regardless of what you were expecting for the DOJO updates this music is still a welcome addition to the Brawl's music repertoire along with its composer Jun Senoue who joined the ranks of Brawl's list of musical composer. For those not familiar with the Sonic series, this music comes from Sonic the Hedgehog at the very beginning of the game in Angel Island Zone.

First off, Merry Christmas guys! I hope you all got the presents you wanted this year or got to be with the family members that were most important to you. While it is already known information to most of us, Sonic's Final Smash; Super Sonic, was revealed on the DOJO today.

Wario was long overdue to appear in Smash, but when he was announced many people, myself included, were suprised to see him covered in his Warioware garb instead of the traditional overalls. Mario himself has been seen wearing Wario's trademark yellow and purple outfit, but todays update has thrown things a little, in more ways than one.
