Nintendo eShop Description
''The mysterious five has reunited. A mysterious force has appeared. Legions of heroes appears from all places, all universes, all dimensions. One irregular being wants to take over the entire multiverse. One day outside earth might not be enough. After the other stuff, things aren't done yet. Meet the Mysterious Five Project. A project created by five of some of the umbrella game makers, who combines different ideas into one game.''

Game Modes
Brawl is the main mode of the game, working like any Super Smash Bros. game. Up to eight players can be on one battlefield, but Sora recommends that you use only four. Sissies are given the option to turn off items.

Irregular Show is the story mode of the game.

Target Practice allows you to practice your fighting skills against moving targets.

100-Man Brawl pits you against brainwashed versions of characters you have unlocked.

Adventure Mode has you choose a character and travel through several stages, with characters going up against you in each stage. There are also minigames. At the end, you fight the Ender Dragon.

Classic is like Adventure Mode, but without the minigames. You'll be pitted against Master Hand (and Crazy Hand if on Hard difficulty) at the end.

Blast to the Past is once again like Adventure Mode, but with time travel elements added. There are gateways to the past and future that you can pass through to travel through time. If you're in the past, there is no past gateway, and if you're in the future, there is no future gateway, much like Sonic CD. At the end, you face the Time Eater.

Gameplay
The Mysterious Five Project is basically a Super Smash Bros. clone, but with major differences. For example, there is no percentage showing damage, but rather a line graph. The line goes higher as you take more and more damage, and lower as you take less. Also, environments are more interactive, allowing you to destroy certain structures and explore the stage you're fighting on.

Most elements from the Fighters of Lapis Series return, such as Bro Specials and the L-Mode.

Another major feature is chemistry, which works the way it does in the Mario Baseball games. Bro Specials are more common if characters like each other, remain the same if they are neutral towards each other, and are less common if they hate each other.

Opening
The screen starts out black, then slowly fades into white and focuses on Tropical Resort, where Sonic is dashing around looking for fun. Suddenly, Mario attacks him with a fireball. He then turns into Tanooki Mario and spins his tail at Sonic, who homes into him.

The two continue fighting as Luke Skywalker arrives in the zone via X-Wing. He steps out and enjoys the view, when Finn the Human challenges him to a battle. Luke accepts and takes out his lightsaber. Finn jumps towards him with his sword, and the metallic and laser weapons collide, sending out a shock wave a la The Avengers.

Gaston is distracted by this shock wave, and Ryu comes and punches him into a wall. The two fight for a while, Gaston with his manly bow and Ryu with his martial arts skills, but they see Knuckles gliding towards them and team up to battle him. Knuckles, however, takes a chunk of rock and smashes them with it.

Palutena and Rosalina are fighting high above the resort, with the Angry Video Game Nerd watching from a large TV screen. But the goddesses don't notice for some reason, so the Nerd decides it's time to show himself. He leaps out of the screen, but falls down into the resort, where Sonic and Mario are still fighting each other, but Iron Man soars in to catch him. AVGN says, "...OK, this is kind of awkward."

Calvin and Hobbes, who have come to the resort due to one of their misadventures, wander around until they encounter Mega Man and Beck, who are fighting. Calvin approaches them with his transmogrifier gun, but Mega Man mega-busts it out of his hands. Calvin looks at Hobbes, and the two run away, with Mega Man and Beck in tow.

The camera centers back on Sonic and Mario, who are now fighting near Luke's X-Wing. Mario pounds Sonic into it, and R2-D2, who had been told to stay in the X-Wing, shocks him.

But all of a sudden, Degen and her army arrive. However, so do Inori Aizawa and Chuck D. Head as they gather up the other fighters to fight them off. All of the heroes charge at the ships, ready for battle.
