[edit] Stages
Stages are where all the action takes place in Brawl. Players fight each other on them with the use of items, assist trophies and various strategic elements that are unique to each stage. The Animal Crossing stage, Smashville, is set hovering over an Animal Crossing town, complete with various features of an Wild World town. The time of day the fight takes place in is reflected by the Wii's internal clock, meaning that the sky will be blue at noon, orange in the evening, and starry at night. Some Animal Crossing characters feature as spectators, watching the fight take place. Notable spectators include Brewster with a coffee bar, Gracie with her car, and Blathers, who is always asleep during the day. K.K. Slider also makes an appearance to play a number of his songs every Saturday after 8:00 PM, drawing the attention of the spectators.
[edit] Items
Items can be thrown, fired, worn, and wielded to add variety to gameplay. The only Animal Crossing item to appear in the game is the Pitfall trap, which, when thrown, disappears into the ground and captures any unsuspecting enemies that fall into it.
[edit] Trophies and Stickers
Trophies and Stickers can be collected throughout the game by completing certain tasks or reaching milestones in the gameplay. There are many Animal Crossing trophies, one for every non-playable character (not including villagers), and stickers for a number of characters popular to the public, such as Rosie and K.K. Slider.

[edit] Music
As already mentioned, K.K. Slider performs various tracks to the audience of Smashville, but there are other songs that play on the Smashville stage when he is not present, all from Animal Crossing. These include:
- The Roost - A soothing rendition from the café in the museum basement.
- Town Hall and Tom Nook's Store - An upbeat medley of two tunes.
- Animal Crossing Title - The Wild World title screen song with the addition of various Animal Crossing songs and noises added. It is the "true" theme of the stage.
- 2 A.M - K.K.'s rendition of the 2 A.M song in Wild World, which was originally a lullaby-style song.
- Go K.K Rider! - A popular K.K. Slider song, orchestrated and containing motorbike revs.
- K.K. Cruisin' - A song that only plays when K.K. Slider gets here.
- K.K. Condor - A song that only plays when K.K. Slider gets here.

- Rockin' K.K. - A song that only plays when K.K. Slider gets here.
- DJ K.K. - A song that only plays when K.K. Slider gets here.
[edit] Assist Trophies
An assist trophy is an object that can be thrown while fighting to release a character from a game. Mr. Resetti appears randomly as an assistant to represent the Animal Crossing series. Upon being released, he appears from the ground, shouting out insults and mocking the contestants. His speech gets in the way of the screen and cannot be moved until Resetti leaves. Sometimes, when on a moving stage, Resetti is left behind, shouting as he moves off the screen, or he will disappear if the platform he's on is destroyed. Sometimes when he's attacked, Resetti will cause a small explosion that damages nearby fighters.
[edit] Trivia
- In Animal Crossing, towns can only have eight letters. Smashville has ten, which means it cannot be used as an actual town name.
