== How it works ==

== How it works ==

Smash Stack works by exploiting the way Super Smash Bros. Brawl loads stages.  It is different from the [[Twilight Hack]] and [[Indiana Pwns]] exploits in the way it is loaded.  Twilight Hack and Indiana Pwns exploit the save files of their respective games to execute a stack smash and load custom code.  Super Smash Bros. Brawl's stage loader loads from the SD card and not from a save file on the Wii itself.  Since the exploit is loaded from SD, it completely bypasses the System Menu, making it difficult for Nintendo to patch.

Smash Stack works by exploiting the way Super Smash Bros. Brawl loads stages.  It is different from the other WiiMode exploits in the way it is loaded.  Twilight Hack and Indiana Pwns, for example, exploit the save files of their respective games to execute a stack smash and load custom code.  Super Smash Bros. Brawl's stage loader loads from the SD card and not from a save file on the Wii itself.  Since the exploit is loaded from SD, it completely bypasses the System Menu, making it difficult for Nintendo to patch, which is presumably why it still works on the Wii U.
