Brawl may not be the absolute best gameplay wise in the series but I feel It's the most influential by far. It introduced a story mode in which you battle enemies while exploring various levels. Personally I liked this approach as it was a fun way to unlock characters as opposed to just unlocking them after a series of random fights. And seeing the characters actually interact with each other in cutscenes really made it feel like a true crossover. Brawl was the first to include 3rd party characters like Sonic and Snake which was a pretty big deal. There were also other additions like boss fights, and an online mode. the latter which I never really tried. It also has the best opening theme composed by the legend, Nobuo Uematsu which never fails to get me hyped.
