How to play online with friends

Play Super Smash Bros. Brawl with people you have registered in your Friend Roster. In order to register friends, you and your friends must exchange Friend Codes with each otherand both register them. Once you have successfully registered, there are three modes in which to play with your friends: Brawl, Team Multi-Man Brawl, and Home-Run Contest.

1. From the Main Menu of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, use the Control Pad and A/a or 2 Button to select "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection."
2. When you are asked if you want to connect, select "Yes."
3. Select the "With Friends" icon, then choose your mode of play. You have three choices:

Brawl:	Same as the regular multiplayer brawl, but you battle your registered Friends over the WFC service (2-4 Players).
Team Multi-Man Brawl:	Cooperate with a Friend to take on multiple enemies (2 Players).
Home-Run Contest:	The object is to launch the sand bag as far as possible. The farther, the better (2 Players).

4. Once you have selected your game mode, select "Create a Room" for your friend(s) to enter. Select "Yes" to create the room.
5. Your friend(s) will need to select the room you created, and select "Join Game," then "Yes" to join the game.
6. The player who created the room (Player 1) will need to select "Ok!" as each player attempts to connect to allow them in.
7. Once all of the desired friends are connected everyone can select their character.
8. If the mode allows for it, Player 1 will choose the stage. After that the match will begin.

If "Spectator Mode" does not appear, 24 hours may not have passed since you first connected to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Wait until the 24 hours have passed, and then check again.

4. Adjust the coins you wish to bet on the winning team. When the timer runs down, the replay of the match will begin.
