Talk:Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

(First topic)

Should the Unlockable on 3DS, and Starter on Wii U characters be unbolded? This IS the Wii U version. Joseph (talk) (contribs)

well yeah, the page was originally merged. you should just remove 3ds ones altogether Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 16:48, 6 February 2015 (EST)

8-player Smash

How does the 8-Player Smash mode work? I haven't played this game yet. Do you need the Adapter for GCN controllers so 8 players can play? Or 8-Player Smash is only a mode with 8 characters and only up to 4 can be players and 4 CPUs? Remember, I haven't played this game yet.

Eight human players can play using any compatible controllers.

-Toa 95 (talk)

So, for example, 8 Wii Remotes can be used? Or 4 Wii Remotes and 4 GCN controllers? (just examples).

JJ97218

If you're using only Wii U Pro Controllers or Wii Remotes (or even a Classic Controller since they connect to the Wii Remote) you can only have up to seven; one of the controllers must be a non-bluetooth-connected controller (such as the GamePad or a GameCube controller). Otherwise, yeah, pretty much every combination you can think of is available to you (you can even use 8 3DS systems with copies of the 3DS game).

-Toa 95 (talk)

But my question is if the GCN controller adapter is mandatory to play with 8 players. As far as I know, the Wii U allows at the same time up to 5 controllers (4 Wii Remotes/Wii U Pro and the GamePad). Or in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U for example, you can play with the Gamepad and 7 Wii Remotes on the same Wii U console, making a total of 8 players?

Adding new images and stage pictures?

The Gameplay section says it needs more images, but does not specify which sections need them. It needs some clarification.

Also, I was wondering if the stage pictures in the stage section should be enlarged for better viewing and so that they better fit the boxes they are in?

Rewrite to "use original character descriptions as opposed to Trophy descriptions"

This rewrite request is present on both this article and Smash for 3DS, but I personally disagree with it. I feel that an official description of each fighter, whether coming from the game itself or related material like an official website, is better than an original write-up on each fighter that has the potential to be subjective. Since Smash for 3DS / Wii U uses official descriptions, and there's talk of a new fighter table for Ultimate that does this as well, I'd suggest instead going backwards and adding the trophy descriptions to Melee and Brawl, and whatever we can find for the original game. -- Too Bad!

I agree with using official descriptions, these are the "endorsed" bios after all. MarioComix (talk) 17:56, November 22, 2019 (EST)

Split Smash Controller

This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit this section or its subsections. If you wish to discuss the article, please do so in a new section below the proposal.

canceled by proposer
Per my previous, similar proposals. This is currently merged to this article, and alluded to in the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS article. Granted, there's not much information here to split, as the current section links to SmashWiki, though this could be remedied. The other games in the Super Smash Bros. series also get double-coverage on both wikis, though we only cover the Super Mario aspects. The same can be said for this app, as it is Super Mario-related, like the rest of the series is. This is a separate application from both for Wii U and for Nintendo 3DS, and has the same amount of Super Mario-relevance as either title, though in a heavily-downscaled formatting, considering the differences in applications. It is almost as if Photos with Mario turned into a Smash controller, as (from what I can tell) the game allows the player to view which character they are currently using - which presumably includes any and all of the playable characters from the Super Mario franchise - and features Super Mario artwork on the logo and start screen(s).

Split Controller

1. Nelsonic Controller (talk) Per proposal.

Don't Split Controller

1. Altendo (talk) Smash Controller is virtually the same as the "Wii U" mode in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Seeing as how Smash Controller came out after SSB3DS, it feels more like a demo, allowing access to a small part of a paid game that would otherwise require the full game to play. I wouldn't be against transferring the Smash Controller content to the SSB3DS page, seeing how Smash Controller is based on that version, but despite it's name, it's basically a demo, allowing access to certain functions while locking others behind the full, paid version.
2. Camwoodstock (talk) Per Altendo; if anything, this would be more sensible to move to the Smash Bros. 4 3DS page, rather than to its own page.
3. Kaptain Skurvy (talk) Per all. It isn't necessarily a Mario game, either.

Comments Controller

Okay. I'll cancel and repropose to move the information the the 3DS page at some point, if that warrants a proposal. Nelsonic (talk edits) 17:20, June 12, 2025 (EDT)
