On the cover
Yeah, we also got a copy of
Super Smash Bros. Brawl,
and it was basically
impossible not to write
eighteen tremendous pages of
coverage that ferrets out every little thing
we could squeeze from the game. Want to know
what glitches are gone, what characters are
in, which items are the most fun? The battle
begins on page 14.
