野岛一成
During the development of "Super Smash Bros. Brawl", Sakurai said that this mode would be more "fleshed out" than the single-player modes in previous "Smash Bros." titles. Shigeru Miyamoto has explained that Sakurai always wanted to have a deep single-player game, but he wanted Sakurai to focus more on the multiplayer aspects in the previous titles since there were already many single-player games of this kind. Both were possible with the development time allotted for "Brawl". Sakurai selected Kazushige Nojima, a scenario writer known for his work on the "Final Fantasy" series, to construct a plotline for the mode in cooperation with him.
