When detecting a Pikmin save game, SSB:M unlocked an Olimar/Pikmin trophy, if memory serves.

I had hoped that more GameCube games would unlock more trophies, but alas, that wasn't the case. (I don't remember how the Japanese got the Caped Mario & Yoshi and "Zero Helmet Samus" trophies but I think they were unlockable - yet us North Americans got the shaft there, and no Devil World devil-guy (Takagon or something?), either.)

I would like for SSB:B to have this feature, especially if I'm going to be buying most first-party Nintendo games anyway. Besides saves, maybe it could also detect which Virtual Console games I've bought.

For future games to unlock new trophies that weren't conceived of at the time of release, that would require "trophy data" within the other save files themselves (which might add size, unless they first detected if an SSB:B file was there to begin with), or an online connection (which there is now) and a hard drive might be handy, too (which there also is).

I suppose there could be a trophy collection thing in the Wii OS itself, and not in SSB:B necessarily. Then the trophies could remain online and based on your accomplishments/downloads/games played/etc. it could just load up a trophy each time you want to view them. I guess Xbox Live has something that tracks your accomplishments but virtual trophies in the likenesses of Nintendo characters would have to beat whatever they've got.

Or is this a stupid idea that only other people like me with a need to collect Nintendo stuff would even enjoy?

The trophies in SSBM were pretty cool, but shouldn't they do something different in SSBB? I don't know what they should do, and even if they still have trophies as collectable items, I still think that they could have something more to trophy collecting.

I would have axed the entire trophy gallery in SSBM for one more original move for any one of the clones.

Sorry, but I just value gameplay functionality over frivolous extras which add zilch to the multiplayer experience.

Let trophies act as items mid game which do different things and I'd be much happier with them, but I just don't think any time should be wasted on something which has nothing to do with extending the multiplayer enjoyability of the game.

Smash_Brother, your idea to use trophies during fights is awesome. It would be cool to catch a pikmin trophie and then you could use it in battle and 100 pikmin swarm the screen lol hectic fun.

Instead of Pokeballs, trophies could do a better job, even if it was only certain trophies and not EVERY trophy.

Anything to make it so, when you collect a new trophy, it actually MEANS something to the multiplayer aspect of the game.

I'm glad the team actually put in stuff that extended playability...A "new move" would do NOTHING from that angle...More collectibles, please!

...Except make a clone further removed from it's base character, making it more like a unique character than a clone.

The only real example of this is how Ganondorf has an overhead midair toward+A punch whereas Falcon has a knee hit.

But like I said, make them do something in multiplayer and it'll be the end of any complaints I would have.

Maybe the trophies could do something. Or, you know, actually be trophies.

As in, it could probably be not specifically about SSB:B but something tied to your personal Wii profile (like those used on Xbox Live) to show off what games you've owned and played and finished.

Or would people see that in a negative light as Nintendo's way to rope them into buying more games - just to get more virtual trophies?

Crimm · « **Reply #8 on:** July 20, 2006, 01:18:24 PM »

I want the trophies to stay in, but I'd also like them to add more collectibles. Maybe a picture gallery, kind of like the overworld in Mario 64, would be sweet.

i want more costumes!

I would continue that joke with Peach, but someone might link to Andy's horrifying site.

I hope they have a Metal Gear trophey of the "I FEEL ASLEEP" guard. Also Krystal. Not so I can zoom in on certain parts or anything! =x

What is this site you speak of, I must know. For research purposes of course.

I want 10,000 trophies. I want a trophy for my specific Killer 7 clear time. I want a trophy for having all the trophies in SSBM. I want a trophy for owning Billy Hatcher & The Giant Egg. I want a trophy for my Pikmin 2 challenge mode scores. I want a trophy for pressing the A button the same amount of times as the B button.

I think the trophies should have been NES/SNES cartridges, that you can actually play. But with the whole Virtual Console thing Nintendo obviously wants to profit from those instead.

I collected all the tropheys, only took me 2years

but yeah a live system of tropheys would be cool, brawl detects saves on hard drive and even possable win records for online games
1000 online wins = something really awsome

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #16 on:** July 21, 2006, 05:09:50 AM »

Brawl could use Wii24connect to have an endless supply of trophies...but as I said before, I want to move to something different...cards (trading cards) or paintings...something haven't been done before.

And I still support a cool trading card battle game...that another development team creates so not to distract from Brawl. It would make collecting fun.

I think that the Olimar trophy thing was a hoax.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #18 on:** July 21, 2006, 09:10:18 AM »

I don't think so, I got it after I rented Pikmin and started SSBM again.

JonLeung · « **Reply #19 on:** July 21, 2006, 09:17:12 AM »

It was the Zero Helmet Samus and the Caped Mario with Yoshi trophies that were revealed but not found, at least not found outside of Japan. And even in Japan it supposedly required something extra to unlock, assuming that those two trophies weren't hoaxes to begin with.

But I'm positive about a trophy obtained after recognizing a Pikmin save file on the same Memory Card.

UniversalJuan · « **Reply #20 on:** July 21, 2006, 09:34:37 AM »

Jon, I possess both trophies

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #21 on:** July 21, 2006, 09:52:19 AM »

Action Replay, FTW!

I'm sure the Action Wiiplay will allow you to simply go in and unlock everything in SSBB anyway.
