Updates to the Smash Bros. website continue at a rapid clip and surprise at every turn. Today's is the announcement of a single-player side-scrolling adventure that will be included in the game, plus an all-too-brief video trailer (above).

The game's director Masahiro Sakurai makes the personal promise to us that this is a "fully fleshed-out" single player mode:

This time, though, we’ve managed to create a complete side-scrolling action game. It’s storyline isn’t overwrought—it’s hastened along by a bunch of quick movies.

The Adventure mode also emphasizes character development. You’ll see many famous characters persevering under the weight of their personal histories, shouldering their unique burdens... It’s really something you won’t see anywhere else.

Tons of tantalizing screenshots at the Smash Bros. Dojo.
