Smash Run

 * Main article: Smash Run
 * Main article: Smash Run

An exclusive mode for the 3DS, where up to four players can compete in two separate instances: one where they collect power-ups and another one where they fight each other, using the power-ups each character has picked up to their advantage.

Online Mode: For Fun and For Glory
Online gameplay has been completely reworked, where players can choose between two new modes: Additionally, players can freely customize those rules when playing with friends.
 * For Fun: stage select is random (no Final Destination), all items available, Smash battles only (free for all up to 4 players), and only wins are recorded.
 * For Glory: stage select is restricted to Final Destination-type stages, no items available, 1-1 battles possible, and both wins and loses are recorded.

Changes from Brawl and New Features

 * Random Tripping has been removed. Forced tripping, however, will remain, since the banana peel item is still present, as well as the individual character attacks that can cause tripping.
 * Gliding has been removed.
 * Character transformations have been completely removed from the game; Zero Suit Samus and Sheik are now separate characters from Samus and Zelda. Charizard is also its own character, previously one of Pokemon Trainer's Pokemon.
 * Tether Recovery can now be done from an even longer range than before. In addition, multiple characters can latch on, but the one that actually grabs hold is determined by the same rules as the standard ledge grab.
 * To prevent the infamous edge grabbing tactics and greatly expand edge-game, a new mechanic has been introduced, where a character will be automatically "kicked" out of the edge if another character tries to grab it. This causes no damage and gives few invincibility frames to the kicked character.
 * When running out of a platform, characters do a smooth "hopping" that is followed by the normal falling animation.
 * Though originally there were plans to include a single player story mode, Sakurai has since changed his mind. It has not been announced what, if any, mode will take it's place.
 * Short movies featuring character introductions, like the ones introducing Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, and Mega Man, will take the place of the originally planned story mode cutscenes.
 * The speed of the game will be between that of Brawl and Melee. This is to appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers after the lukewarm response by hardcore gamers to Brawl's more "floaty" mechanics.
 * The "impact-launch" effect has been altered to a colored light trail indicating which player will receive the point should a KO occur. Additionally, a red/black effect will appear when a character is hit by a strong attack and/or has a high damage percentage, to indicate the character will likely be KO'd.
 * Characters that are at high damage percentage will now emit a steam to visually announce they are at their limit.
 * Most regular attacks now have special graphical effects to give them a more "agressive" feel, as if they are "cutting through air".
 * This was also added so players can see and identify attacks more easily, which holds true for the 3DS version, where the screen is smaller.
 * Some attacks have been adjusted to prevent a character's back from facing the screen. Additionally, the leg and arm positions of some characters is mirrored when facing left or right.
 * Many of the characters' moves have been strengthened such as Marth's Shield Breaker and Link's Meteor Smash.
 * Characters with consecutive standard attacks, such as Fox's infinite kick, always have a finishing move to end the combo. Little Mac was the first character seen performing this, in his official reveal trailer.
 * As shown in the April's 7th Smash Direct, the characters' Special Moves can be customized to give certain results, such as Pit's arrows performing a spin after being fired, Kirby freezing characters instead of swallowing them or Mario's Fireball being much larger but slower or smaller but faster.
 * During Play Nintendo - Super Smash Bros. Roundtable with Masahiro Sakurai, it has been further explained how that mechanic will function: each character will have 2 variations of their original Special Attacks, totalizing 12 different Special Moves, 3 for each direction. However, to maintain the game's balance, these customizations will not be available for Online Mode "With Anyone".
 * Almost all stages now have a "Final Destination version", which is a flat version of the respective stage, without any platforms or stage hazards.
 * A new ranking system will be introduced, called Global Smash Power. It will be different from the traditional leaderboards seen in other games.
 * In Team Battle, it is now possible to choose any color for the characters, and their team affiliation will be marked by the respective color outlining them. It is currently unknown if this feature will be exclusive for the Nintendo 3DS version.
 * The revival platforms now turn from yellow to red to warn the characters how much time they have before they fall.
 * In the 3DS version, unknown if also for Wii U, you can now highlight yourself or other players.

Development
The game was first announced at E3 2011, but no further information was released due to Masahiro Sakurai working on finishing Kid Icarus: Uprising. At the start of 2012, the game was officially in production, but new information was not released until the following year.
 * On June 11th, 2013, two trailers were shown during a Nintendo Direct: one announcing the game and the Villager as a newcomer, and another announcing that Capcom's Mega Man would also be a new, playable character.

Trailers

 * Main article: Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U Trailers
 * Main article: Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U Trailers


 * The first trailer for Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U was revealed at E3 2013, showing off the game for the first time, as well as revealing the inclusion of the Villager as a newcomer.
 * Two more trailers were released later for the new characters Mega Man and Wii Fit Trainer respectively.
 * A trailer was released on October 1st, 2013 to announce Sonic the Hedgehog.
 * A trailer for the announcement of Rosalina & Luma was shown in the December 18th, 2013 Nintendo Direct.

 * A trailer for the announcement of Charizard and Greninja was also shown in the Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct on April 8th, 2014.
 * A trailer for the announcement of Palutena was revealed at E3 on June 10th, 2014 and later at the same day, a trailer revealing the announcement of Pac-Man was shown at the E3 Smash Bros. Roundtable.

Trivia

 * This game was announced at E3 2011 but development didn't start until after the release of Kid Icarus: Uprising in 2012 and no characters, stages or gameplay were shown until E3 2013, a full 2 years after the first announcement.
 * The 3DS and Wii U versions will have different stages: the 3DS having stages from handheld games, while the Wii U having stages from console games.
 * The WiiU version will have some form of character customization. You can customize character's movesets. These customized movesets will be usable in any mode except for non-friend online matches.
 * The 3DS and Wii U versions will not have cross-platform play due to the use of different stages in each version. However it would appear that the customizable character function can be transferred to/from each version.
 * Sakurai stated that in the 3DS version, outlines will be placed around the character so it will be easy to see them from far away. The thickness of the outlines can be decreased or even removed.
 * In the 3DS version, stages only have two varying musical pieces, whereas in the Wii U version, the My Music function from Brawl will return.
 * The 3DS version was supposed to release in summer but it was delayed to October 3.
 * This is the first game in the series to keep entirely similar character models from a previous game (Brawl) with a texture retouch (for example Mario, Fox, Luigi, Sonic, Pikachu, Link, Donkey Kong, Peach, Zelda, Lucario etc.)
 * As shown in the E3 2013 with Masahiro Sakurai playing as Mega Man against another player playing as Mario in a SSB4 demo play, the victory animation for Mega Man (and therefore for every character) would've be the original one, but it was evidently changed as shown in the Super Smash Bros. Invitational when the match ended, this may be because the original one lacks the background characters clapping/cheering for you and the final leaderboard.
